Flexible working can't make up for toxic culture

Pros

Flexible working is a big plus.

Cons

The worst organisation I’ve ever worked for, every week, month, year seems to get worse and worse. No respect for staff, terrible culture, incredibly low salary for job demands, bullying culture, horrific management with no duty of care…. I could go on and an on and on. I’ve gone from Macmillan’s biggest supporter to desperately trying to leave, even for a lower paid role.

Pros

Flexible working and the pay is good for charity sector

Cons

Toxic organisation, terribly run by people who have no idea what they are doing. Bullying culture. Everyone spends their days in meetings talking rubbish with no output.

Thanks for sharing your feedback, it’s appreciated. It’s good to hear that flexibility and pay are landing well. At the same time, we take concerns around culture, leadership, and ways of working seriously. We know experiences can vary across teams, and feedback like this highlights where we need to improve, particularly around how teams collaborate, make decisions, and ensure time spent in meetings leads to meaningful outcomes. We’re actively working on this through initiatives like 'NO GAPS', which focus on calling out behaviours that don’t work, strengthening accountability, and creating a more inclusive, supportive environment for everyone. There’s more to do, and feedback like this helps us keep that focus where it matters.
