happening again to me or my colleagues.
As a matter of principle I normally never criticise my managers, it doesn't go with the education my parents gave me and I have never felt it right to do. In this case though I have decided after weeks of careful consideration that I have no other option but to condemn my direct management's behaviour that has directly led to me being sick for a prolonged time. Let me elaborate and please take the time to read my report. On 08.03.2018 I went to a meeting with my team leader Susana and in the presence of department manager Samira who declared she was only there to take the minutes of the meeting. When I got the invitation for this hour long meeting, I asked Susana via e-mail what the agenda of the meeting was so I could prepare for any questions. On 06.03.2018 Susana replied via e-mail: "You do not need to prepare for this meeting. It is about general team atmosphere and expectations". To my utter astonishment this meeting turned out to be a full blast attack by Susana on my person and everything was done for character assassination of my person in front of Samira. This meeting was obviously set up as a trap and for me to go unprepared and without elaborated defence. My team leader was clearly on a revenge mission and for a very long hour I had to hear over and over again that "I am stubborn, I don't respect management decisions, I'm not flexible and I'm unprofessional". I was utterly shocked and upset that I was told "no need to prepare for the meeting" but then had to go on a very profound defence of my own good name and character and that in front of my manager what I found very humiliating. My already huge shock became deep desperation when I asked Danielle for the minutes of that meeting only to find out that Samira's report is incomplete, important parts of my defence against Susana's very serious accusations are not in the notes and other things do not reflect what I said. I can only conclude that Samira is trying to cover up Susana's incompetence and total lack of leadership capabilities. I am surprised that no one has noticed that over the last two years Susana has succeeded in losing 100% of her personnel and that this percentage is way above that of the other language teams in CS where this exceptionally high turnover of personnel is NOT happening. I wish to add here that I have zero ambition to become team leader myself and for further reference of how I see my future in GVC I can refer to Noemie with whom I had a frank and open meeting about how and where I prefer to go with my talents within this company. I also wish to point out that I am still convinced that GVC is a great company and the one I'd preferentially work for for many years to come. I keep noticing the motivational slogans |
