I am writing this to express my concerns about the toxic work environment that exists within The Wasserstrom Company and N. Wasserstrom. I have noticed several issues that are causing significant stress and discomfort for employees, including myself. I believe that these issues are a result of outdated human resource practices, inadequate pay wages, favoritism, inequitable vacation pay policies, male dominant leadership, and a harsh attendance policy. Firstly, the human resource practices within the company appear to be outdated and in need of review. This has resulted in a lack of transparency and communication regarding job responsibilities, performance expectations, and opportunities for growth and development. Secondly, the pay wages offered by the company are not competitive, causing financial strain on employees. Additionally, there is a lack of transparency in the process for determining salaries and raises, which contributes to a sense of unfairness and discouragement among employees. Thirdly, I have noticed favoritism within the organization, where certain employees receive preferential treatment or recognition, while others are overlooked or undervalued. This is creating a sense of resentment and division among employees, which is contributing to the toxic work environment. Fourthly, the vacation pay policy is inequitable, with some employees receiving more time off than others, and the process for requesting vacation time is unclear and inconsistent. This creates a sense of frustration and uncertainty among employees, which is further adding to the negative work environment. Additionally, the male dominant leadership structure of the company is contributing to a lack of diversity and inclusivity. This is making it difficult for female employees and other marginalized groups to feel heard and valued within the organization. Lastly, the attendance policy is unnecessarily harsh and punitive, causing unnecessary stress and anxiety among employees. The policy does not take into account extenuating circumstances and creates an environment of fear and mistrust.
