Here is a list of issues, and most of them were reported to local management, regional management, and executive Unifi management, and these issues were ultimately ignored. Action was likely not taken until this was reported to Delta and United airlines. (Delta and United pay Unifi for ground services, among other airlines.) Note that "high ranking employee" is used instead of a job title because of Glassdoor policies.
* Another employee repeatedly tried showing her explicit photos to another employee without consent. She also gave another employee an explicit, physical favor, and she may have taken graphical pictures of herself at the airport for her online explicit profile. This was told to the high ranking employee at our station, and that employee took no action.
* The high ranking employee would not replace or hire employees as needed, and this was not because of Covid. This person just would not do it, so we were and are understaffed. In one example, a very experienced candidate applied to work here while we were understaffed, and it took an actual year for the high ranking employee to hire that employee.
* The high ranking employee genuinely did not care about his employees. One time, two supervisors went on maternity leave, and another supervisors literally worked for 3 months straight with only a few days off after he begged for them. The high ranking employee absolutely did not care and did not try to fix the situation.
* The high ranking employee forged employee signatures.
* The high ranking employee catered to people with their schedules, never disciplined employees, and even changed the schedules of tardy employees so that they don't get auto fired by the system. It was pointless for a supervisor to write someone up because nothing would happen.
* Two supervisors were just thrown into the job without training.
* The high ranking employee falsified delay codes to make the station look good. For example, if the reason in the system talked about staffing issues, this person would change it to something like a gate reader issue. Note that this is a common practice at multiple stations.
* There was a runaway airplane incident. This means that the airplane rolls on its own like a runaway car. The high ranking employee was in the plane controlling the brakes while it was being towed. The high ranking employee told employees this incident happened because of a hydraulic issue, but the mechanic said there was no hydraulic issue. The high ranking employee just did not set the brakes of the plane, even though this person indicated that the brakes were set. The high ranking employee brushed this incident under the rug. (As for the plane, another employee threw a chock under the wheels and stopped it.) This issue was not reported to Unifi.
* Unifi would not fire the high ranking employee. It appears that nothing happened until the airlines got involved, though I can’t know for sure.
Now, this high ranking employee no longer is employed, likely because of the airlines, probably not because of Unifi. Because of that, we thought that things would improve at our station. However, we still don’t have a permanent replacement for the station manager, and its been almost 2 months (plus a two weeks of notice). We don't have enough people because people are quitting left and right and being driven away by this company. This staff issue is not because of Covid, this is because of this horrible company called Unify. Also, district management is not doing a good job in my opinion and is constantly bombarding supervisors with emails. The district management is not making things better and made a good employee walk out. They gave the employee in the first paragraph a chance even when they should have been fired, but when the good employee needed to work 10 less hours each week for one month, district management would not budge. I’m not sure if they even fired the bad employee, that person may have quit. Supervisors were being made to work 45-70 hours per week. One of the supervisors may get another job soon, and no one else at this station is qualified or wants to be a supervisor. Other stations have issues too, not just this one.
Note that I tried to keep everything here accurate, but errors are possible since this company is not exactly sharing what they do.
Also, Unifi does not require first aid kits at their stations, so we don't have one. With our line of work of work at airports, we should have first aid kits. This is just one example of how Unifi truly does not care even about their employees' basic physical health.
