A deeply narcissistic employer - werkgeversreview Marketing bij TopCashback

Senior figures behave incredibly narcissistic; it’s draining. Some employees - not everyone, there is a 'them' and 'us' mentality depending on how much you are liked non-professionally - are set up for failure with the constant moving of goalposts when it comes to how the company evaluates your success, so it can build a faux defence to avoid giving you a pay rise or only giving you the minimum and implying you should be grateful that it is at least giving you that. It's not uncommon for sexual (harassing, homophobic or sexism) and racist questions to be flippantly asked or jokes to be told; mostly by senior figures. When challenged it is explained away as banter. When highlighted to another manager or the human resources department to ask for help you are told that you are too sensitive, the person did not mean any harm (and is an asset to the company so should not have their reputation or professional record tarnished) or you should be more friendly. You’re then labelled a trouble-maker and are given a character assassination. The micro aggressions and gaslighting make you feel lost, confused, belittled and humiliated. The fair play policy is a red herring. The senior figures and human resources department openly acknowledge that fair play means something different to everyone so there is no consistency. It is often used against you by the company to make it seem as though you are being unreasonable when what the company wants from you isn't an entitlement and should not be up for debate.
