The turnover rate in this company is extremely high. At least ten people have left within a year, with a period ranging from as short as two weeks to 10 months, for very similar reasons: underappreciated and overworked, realised how badly the management is running, recognising that managers and senior staffs lack a sense of compassion with poor leadership overall.
Management and so-called leaders provided no adequate training to newcomers. In other words, 'OJT' and getting scolded all the time for not following company standards when in the first place, they weren’t trained. Some people left because tasks did not match the job description listed on recruitment sites.
Some have stayed at least 1 to 4 years and left to the lack of promotion, having to tolerate poor management and the lack of compassion from senior staff, there were instances of criticism (an excellent way of putting 'workplace bullying') of colleagues' work thrown from other departments by people who are equally overworked and underappreciated. One long-serving staff of at least three years broke down at work due to not being able to do a senior engineer's work when it wasn’t their task in the first place.
Somewhere mixed between the above mentioned, assistant engineers (mostly diploma holders) had to handle senior engineer's work when a senior engineer left, without learning the basics. Their managers told these assistant engineers to learn to multitask without complaining. They would get scolded for not attending a daily meeting that is scheduled to happen before the official working hours.
In a company where the turnover rate is high, would the senior management not care about long-serving staff who has stayed for at least 3.5 years? One manager even recalled a staff is leaving on the staff's last day itself. They had tried to salary-match said staff's next offer, but of course, the staff didn't want to continue carrying the overwhelming workload, so they left. Guilt-tripping and toxic behaviours by management are rampant. The above mentioned are just two departments with similar responsibilities, but these aren't the only departments with a high turnover rate.
