Cons
When I first joined eComplete I had heard so many good things about the culture, the mission and overall it was set out to be a great place to work, I started with positivity and trust, as it was still early days of the business operating. As the clients increased, the organisation of all projects began to feel chaotic and I can’t speak for everyone but I began to feel overstretched with how many clients I was across in a team of 2. An incident then occurred where my team went down to 1, I was left solo with no manager from June - November with incredibly little support from the person who I was now ‘reporting into’ and HR, being fully billed out on a client but still expected to pick up other client work I reached breaking point and flagged this to HR a few times, sadly this achieved nothing. A call that was initially put in place to check on my workload soon became a meeting to add tasks to my workload, despite no recruitment of a new manager or any execs to support. After all client work remaining afloat despite it just being myself, I had a conversation around becoming manager and was told that this would only be possible if I completed a list of tasks that was not possible on top of doing the role of myself and another, this is when I lost motivation and any aspirations to stay in the business. My decision was made easier as a group call was put in our diaries to inform us about redundancies and I felt relieved, which i’m assuming is uncommon for people being made redundant.
