The CEO often enforces strict behavioral expectations for employees but does not apply the same standards to himself. This creates an environment of double standards and mistrust.
1 ] Toxic leadership & abusive culture: They rule through fear, manipulation, and humiliation. Yelling is routine and normalized. A few long-term employees appear to follow instructions without question, which reinforces outdated “work approaches” that are labeled as leadership.
2 ] Leave Without Pay abuse: If leave isn’t approved in time through no fault of the employee, salary deductions still occur. Even working from home during periods on a scheduled office day can result in a day’s pay being deducted, regardless of hours already worked. High performers and extra effort go unnoticed, while salary cuts and threats are freely thrown around. Employees either beg to reverse their pay cuts, or let their money go- all while still being expected to maintain high output and long hours.
3 ] Unclear confirmation or notice process: After probation, there's no written confirmation, yet you're suddenly bound by a notice period that was never formally communicated. In resignations, personal circumstances are not considered, and employees are often required to find their replacement before being released. It’s unfair and exploitative.
4 ] Micromanagement & disorganized workflows: Frequent rework and sudden changes in direction are common. Processes are dictated top-down, often changing without prior notice or explanation. Employees may be asked to prepare weekly trackers that go unused, attend meetings delayed by the CEO, or participate in meetings during lunch, after 8 pm, late at night, or on weekends.
5 ] No HR accountability or policy consistency: There's no functioning HR or grievance system. Salary slips aren’t given unless chased repeatedly. Rules seem to apply only when they benefit the company, and policies change at management’s discretion. Most disputes are redirected with “take it up with the CEO.”
6 ] High attrition and low morale: Many employees leave quickly due to the work environment. The CEO’s interactions are often marked by impatience and a lack of respect for staff. The experience here leads to breakdowns, mental health issues, and erodes professional confidence.
