Work Sharp Reviews

There is a general lack of empathy for the employees. I fully understand that letting people go is sometimes part of business. Letting a bunch of people go 2 weeks before Christmas seems a bit cruel. Their policy for laying people off borders on hostile. You are pulled from your desk in the middle of the day, told that they are laying you off, then told that you can't empty out your desk. Apparently you can come back at a later time if you want any of your stuff. This all seems like a really unnecessary way to treat employees that poured their heart and soul into their work.

I felt Darex worked hard to make sure your first couple months were full of positivity and delivered on what they promised as far as job duties and benefits. However, after the initial newness wore off I started noticing that the management, specifically the CEO played favorites based on how much he liked a person. This trickled down through management and felt like a clique in high school. You could clearly tell who wasn’t part of the cool crowd and nothing was based on how hard you worked or the amount you contributed. I would consistently hear what they called “3rd party talk” coming from the people who preached about not conducting this type of “talk”. You could then call someone out on doing this, and 15 minutes later be pulled into an office and reprimanded for doing so. So disappointing. One perk was ability to work from home occasionally and/or flexible hours on Friday. Be very careful about this - those who took advantage were looked down on for not working as much as those who opted to work the standard 8-5. Or my favorite, you must tell your manager exactly what you will be doing for the entire day. Micromanagement to the extreme no matter if you are the top performer or are always getting your work done.
