Let me address the issues within this company, as it seems management is either unaware or choosing to ignore them. 1) HR Department Turnover: What's going on with HR? There’s been a constant purge of employees every year from 2021 to 2023, and no one seems interested in addressing this. Is the strategy here to sweep everything under the rug and hope nobody notices? Management, if you're paying attention, this is your wake-up call. There’s a clear pattern, and it’s shocking that after multiple exits, no one's looking into the reasons behind them. If everyone leaving mentions the same person or toxic culture, shouldn't you have taken action by now? It's hard to take all the talk about "culture" seriously when HR itself is crumbling. 2) Actions Speak Louder than Words: Everyone here seems to hold a degree, yet practical knowledge is a rarity. People can spout theories, but when it comes to real work, they fall apart. And the worst part? These same individuals walk around with egos far larger than their capabilities. When it’s time to lead a project or meet a customer, they’re either "on holiday" or "sick." How does anyone get away with this? There should be performance reviews every three months, with clear accountability for what they've actually contributed—time off included. My advice? Some people here need a serious dose of humility. Learn from those around you, show some respect, and maybe you’ll earn it in return. 3) Complacency in the Workplace: The work culture here is a joke. People come in to chat and snack on cookies instead of doing their jobs. It's like high school, where showing up seems to be enough. There’s no drive, no motivation. If you want to be taken seriously as a company, you can’t have a workforce that treats this place like a social club. 4) Learning & Development (L&D): Let’s talk about the so-called L&D department. The head of L&D comes from an academic background, which would be fine if they were willing to learn about the industry. But the lack of engagement with Operations or Engineering is glaring. How can you lead learning and development when you don’t even know the processes? And when faced with constructive criticism? A tantrum. That’s not how a professional deals with feedback. If you can’t take criticism and improve from it, you’re in the wrong role. 5) Investing in Future Talent: Where is the investment in young talent? There are barely any employees under 28, and that speaks volumes. It’s embarrassing that a company with such potential isn't fostering the next generation of professionals. 6) Customer Perception & Internal Dysfunction: The customer comes to us expecting competence, and instead, they find a disorganized mess. Commercial is selling them a dream, and engineering is struggling to keep up. It’s almost as if internal departments are sabotaging each other. Documentation is sent out at the last minute, leaving Operations scrambling. Are we not supposed to be working as one team? It’s hard to see any teamwork here when everyone seems more focused on their own little Departments. The place needs a serious overhaul. You're worried about why no one fills out the culture surveys? Here’s the answer: your culture is broken, and until you confront these issues head-on, nothing will change. Honestly, if UKBIC wasn’t government-funded, it would have gone under within the first two years of operation. When I think of UKBIC, two things come to mind: Fake it until you make it: That’s the motto most people seem to live by here. Sure, there are a few who know their stuff, but the majority are just pretending. Actions speak louder than words: This becomes painfully clear when people can’t perform and suddenly disappear when decisions need to be made. It’s sad because there’s so much potential here, but until the culture shifts and people are held accountable, this company is going nowhere fast.
