Minpunten
Exploitative work environment; poorly-defined, ever-increasing workload and pathetic wages coupled with non-existent employee welfare. Selfish, self-serving management who display a marked unwillingness to listen to feedback, are slow to adapt to changing realities and prefer to bury their collective heads in the sand, contributing to shrinking sales. The company does not believe in engaging in fair hiring practices; fraught with nepotism and backdoor entry hires. Despite a pool of qualified locals, management fills top positions with Caucasians, most who do not possess specialised skill sets. Management professes to ‘embrace diversity’ and be ‘respectful of different cultures’ but what transpired during my time with Rehau was a consistent, recurring pattern of racial discrimination and normalised xenophobia. I’ve had the unfortunate experience of working with foreign hires (of various ethnicities) who thought it acceptable to behave pompously and treat the locals with barely veiled contempt. I did not speak up then but I will speak out now because their behaviour was so odious it was beyond the pale. Rehau does not believe in fulfilling its corporate social responsibilities towards the local community.
