Are you sure you worked here? With the exception of SQL, all the technologies we use here are less than 20 years old. The board and senior management of the company do a great job, and to claim I use a controlling method of management is a huge disservice to how we work as a company. I have addressed this at length in an earlier reply. As CEO, I do not assign tasks to individuals, and haven’t done in very many years. Work is assigned by the DGM, and is done so based on a desire to ensure employees get the widest range of opportunities. I care about every single member of staff’s progress, and there has never been a mythical ‘select few’. It’s very rare employees give up their social time to work, and it’s never demanded. Instead we encourage staff to maintain a positive work life balance; to that end, I would happily stack up our work time statistics against anyone in this industry. I just don’t believe that working longer than 40 hours in a week is ever productive, and we reiterate that constantly. Not a single person in this company has ever been punished or judged for not working in their social time. That said, employees who work in a silo and do not socialise tend to fare poorly as they don’t learn as readily from one another. Had you been braver in offering this feedback whilst you were here, and whilst you had the opportunity to do so (and were encouraged to do so), you may have broadened your understanding of what was actually being asked of you, and you may have gained much greater benefit from your time here. I hope you are faring much better in your current role.
