Richemont reviews

Managed by business people with no experience in watchmaking, all they seem to understand are spreadsheets and numbers. STOs (standard Time of Operation) numbers have been slashed resulting in low moral and complete indifference with many employees. Completely demotivating, the unrealistic expectations have driven several watchmakers to leave the industry altogether. Promotions or new jobs are given to people without competition, long term employees are regularly fired or demoted. Foriegn workers are given visas and high-level watchmaking and/or management positions without job postings or competition. The workshop manager has no watchmaking experience and is rarely ever seen in the actual workshop, leaving the management of the watchmakers to supervisors. The supervisors seem to have only their own self-interest in mind, back-stabbing and working against one another to make themselves look better by making the other supervisor look bad. The HR violations in this company are horrific, fat-shaming, anti-Semitic, extreme racial and gay slurs, bullying and sexual harassment are ignored by and often include the supervisors. The HR violations go unpunished by HR, many of the worst offenders being promoted to top watchmaking positions. Childish games such as seeing who can pass gas the loudest are common in the workshop.
