Sanctuary reviews

Where to start... Bullying attitude of management, some managers have only got promotion due to their face fitting and not actually what they have to offer. One of the biggest issues that has started is “passing the buck to a different team” higher management like to blame different departments for bad figures not actually taking responsibility for their own bad management and performance of their team. Staff do not want to work for management as it is very clear that they have their “favourites”. Restructure is a way they like to change things, however it doesn’t work. Last restructure removed a whole department and passed to a central team, who do not have the training, skills or opportunity to actually do the work, so it’s just left and not worried about. Then when a director mentions it, the staff are pulled from their usual job and told they need to focus on this project, however no training provided so they don’t know what to do and then it’s the staffs fault when it goes wrong.

I worked here for 5-10 years in a central support role, I left 3 months ago to do an identical job for a competitor paying 25% more. Nobody asked me the actual reason I was leaving or for feedback; I was not offered an exit interview/survey. My manager took my resignation extremely poorly and excluded and belittled me, leaving a sour taste after so long in the business, after speaking to the next line Manager, it was clearly not going to be addressed. I didn't feel like there was any incentive to stay or anybody valued what I did. I'd repeatedly asked for development and progression or simply recognition for all of the additional responsibility I took on, which is eventually why I left; feeling under valued. I think the business is trying to achieve too much with too little resource; a significant number of management have left.
