Poached me from another company. Poor leadership with direct manager. I was presented a position where I could make an impact and run my team, however everything I did was stifled and put down. I was talked down to, made to feel insignificant, undermined and micromanaged by someone who wasn’t able to the job themselves. Escalating issues was called being a tattle tale. Director only wanted to be told how good her ideas were and did not accept constructive feedback. Was told that my job was to manage and her job was to have a vision. When asked, a vision was not able to be produced, however I was told that I wasn’t aligning with it. Not sure how you can align with something non-existent. I was blamed for issues that were identified that started well before my time and my Director degraded me and stormed out of our 1:1 messaging me soon after and telling me to go home. I spoke to HR on multiple occasions, but their job is not to protect employees, it is to protect the company, so this resulted in my termination less than 24 hours after filing a complaint. Confidentiality means nothing to them and they will assist management in firing anyone who wants to better the company instead of being focused on making the manager look good, even at the expense of employees and the company.
