A Toxic Workplace: Sexism and Unfair Treatment at adidas Maia
Pros
Back in the days, there were several transitions to bring tasks from other countries. As a result, opportunities to travel to those countries and learn there were created.
Cons
It is a highly sexist company. Director Carlos has a WhatsApp group with other men to organize football games, but in this group, they only share offensive things about women - shared by the director himself - which does not set a good example. I was sexually harassed by my manager on several occasions, despite having excellent performance, I received a rating of 2 in my evaluation because I did not go out to dinner with him (knowing that 3 is the baseline rating that a woman on maternity leave receives). Director Carlos and other employees went to a strip club when they were in Latin America. During a World Cup football match between Portugal and Morocco, Director Carlos said, ‘They should be selling carpets’ referring to the Moroccans. Overall, horrible leadership. And, of course, only friends of the managers are promoted. Lack of Staff: I worked countless overtime hours, often leaving early in the morning.
