IKEA reviews

The recent restructuring that happened last October has been a complete disaster. Skilled employees have had their jobs disappear and skills no longer utilized. These employees were mapped into jobs which was supposed to be like-for-like, but with some jobs disappearing, this was not possible. The morale since the restructure is the worst it has been in the 12 years I have worked here. I work in "Prep & Flow" which in any other company would be called logistics. The amount of responsibilities of this one department is astronomical and extremely difficult to overcome. This is the first time I have actively looked for other employment in all my years here. I have always stuck around because the changes have been temporary. This restructure is permanent and a failure.

-management is terrible -management opportunities have dwindled from about 50+ management positions to about 10 -switching departments/moving up all depends on politics (who likes you or who doesn't like you) -there are supposed to be yearly wage increases, but HR can block you from receiving an increase -it's basically like working at a high school, there's constant drama and everyone talks about everyone -the harder you work, the more responsibility is placed on you while you remain at the same pay/level -if someone in a higher position does not like you, they can and will target you until you move departments or leave
