Always worked in finance and found myself redundant. I was offered a role at Pertemps and it seemed perfect.
However, bullying was rife. Whoever got up and left the room was the one who was slagged off. Made worse by the fact that team leaders never reigned it in, and joined in with the nastiness. Being female myself, I know that people can be two faced and spiteful, but this was a whole new level. One of the worse was an individual who everyone liked, yet spent the whole day reporting in to senior management with her tittle tattle. In the end I used to go in to work and not say a word as I didn’t want to be drawn in to nasty conversation. Unfortunately if you didn’t join the ‘nastiness gang’ and join in with the bullying, then your days were numbered.
It made me ill it was so bad, and team leaders and managers let it go on and often joined in.
The owner is Tim Watts. Always seemed pleasant. He often used to take his ‘special ladies’ out for champagne lunches and buy them expensive gifts. Who am I to question why he’d do this for just a select few?? However, this would cause jealousy and even more bullying for the individuals who were selected by Tim as his ‘special girls’.
Honestly was a horrendous place to work, and I’d very often end up in the toilet crying which isn’t me at all.
