Empire building and One Upmanship - Anonymous employee Network Rail Employee Review

Bullying, abuse and threat to jobs is a daily constant not only from management, but also from other staff. Bullying is encouraged and endorsed by management. To use your own initiative to solve problems and to get the job down is frowned upon to the point where you're punished by management and then bullied as a reminder for using your initiative. The culture of the company endorses Everyman for him(her) self and "the boys club" is rife. The glossy overlay of culture and diversity is a rouse and if anyone complains, again, bullying and abuse is enforced. I'm almost 50 years old; however, it's the same as being back in secondary school with the gangs of the mean girls and the gangs of the bully boys, except there is no authority figures to keep the bullies in line.
