My workplace used to be very toxic. My manager always gaslighted my colleagues and I just so he could slack and push blame.
Senior colleague feedback to higher management, but they choose to believe the manager
One of my senior colleague sounded out many times to higher management that my manager is not leading the team properly. I also heard stories of past employees sounding out too but got no response or improvement.
Higher management always get swayed by my manager’s words and believed all of us are lying just because my manager is harder to replace than all of us combined.
My department is known to be the worst in my company and in the past, when some employees heard that they are transferring there, they resigned.
Manager then found out senior colleague complain him, he psycho higher management to give him two warning letters
My manager caught wind of who ratted him out, and he managed to convince higher management to give my senior colleague two warning letters in 3 months.
My senior colleague who didn’t want to risk a third warning letter that would lead to his discharge, decided to resign. My manager was shocked but tried to play it off, saying “Leave then leave lah! There are always more people to hire.”
Senior colleague left, then we all left because we don’t want handle the unreasonable workload
The next day when I realised the unreasonable workload he had would be passed down to me, I immediately handed in my resignation letter too.
My manager tried to convince me to stay by telling me that they are hiring more staffs and that I will be leading the team and learning more stuff and tell me to take a day to reconsider and gave me back my letter.
The talk lasted for 2.5 hours. I didn’t give him face and submitted my letter at the end of the day. The day after my submission of resignation letter, my another colleague heard about it and submitted his too.
So in the span of 3 months, a team of 4(excluding manager) turned into a team of 1(excluding manager).
In the end manager need to do everything, then he realised its tough and left
Manager complained the workload is too stressful and he couldn’t handle it so he started going for job interviews.
He found a job and convinced the last guy in our team to change jobs with him, leaving the team without employees.
Company lost contract because can’t fulfill deadlines, management now realised they are out of touch with the ground
Higher management had to scramble to find new employees. But due to being unable to fulfill contract commitments, the department lost the contract.
This is what they get for believing in a liar and being biased.
