Diageo reviews

Here is how I could express the workplace concerns as a current employee at the Ryder facility for Diageo in Plainfield: As someone who has worked at this Ryder site for several years now, I'm becoming increasingly frustrated and disillusioned with the way employees are treated. There are so many things going on behind the scenes that just don't seem right or fair. For one, the way pay raises, bonuses, and promotions get handed out is a total mess. It's an open secret that sucking up to the right managers and being on their good side is way more important than your actual job performance. I've seen hard workers who deserve better compensation get passed over, while buddies of the bosses keep moving up the ladder. There's no transparency to the process at all. The same cronyism exists when it comes to assigning preferred shifts and overtime hours. Instead of going to the senior staff or those most qualified, it always seems to be the same few teachers' pets getting all the prime opportunities. It breeds a ton of resentment. Then you get to some of the ethics issues around here. Despite what they claim, I've definitely noticed some questionable hiring decisions that make me think they're cutting corners with undocumented workers. And the rumors about certain managers drinking on the job? Sadly, those appear to be true from what I've seen and heard. It's just an all-around toxic environment where you don't feel safe or respected bringing up any problems. The company culture actively discourages speaking up about these kinds of injustices. Anyone who rocks the boat puts a target on their back for retaliation. HR gives lip service but never takes legitimate action. A bunch of us have been trying to go through proper channels to get these issues addressed for a long time now. But all they've done is remove one horrible manager while letting the same bad habits and favoritism persist with the new regime. If anything, they've just gotten sneakier about hiding it all. I'm at my breaking point, to be honest. If leadership continues brushing us off, I'm seriously going to look into reporting this place to the labor authorities. And unionizing is going to be an absolute must for us to finally force some accountability and fairness around here. We've been too complacent, letting them take advantage of us all for too long. I really hope it doesn't have to come to those extreme measures. Because at my core, I care about this company and want us to succeed. But the way things are being so mishandled is just killing morale and running all the good, loyal workers into the ground. Until real, substantive changes get made to compensation policies, scheduling systems, hiring practices, and leadership standards - myself and many coworkers see no other choice than outside intervention or unionization. Enough is enough.

Terribly low wages, zero willingness to raise them significantly even in critical situations, eg. they gave the usual 8% per year when inflation was 15% that year (25% in some months). Too much emphasis on informal, personal relationships, they tell you that you have to "sell yourself" if you want to step further, share details about your personal life, take part in corporate bulls@&t events and pretend that you like it. They have their vocabulary (eg. "visibility") to let you know that your work doesn't really count, it's more how much you are in the a#&es of bosses. Corporate ideology mixed with old Hungarian informality.
