A colleague told me about a negative review posted here that aligned to how we and most of the company felt about certain leadership issues. When I went to review it, I also saw three 5-star reviews from the same day or day after. These quick (incomplete sentences, very short with no thought) back-to-back reviews were clearly added to cover up the negative review and artificially bring up ratings.
I am not one to typically post on these open forums, but after seeing the fake reviews, I felt compelled to say something to set the record straight. Instead of dealing with the issue of the CGO and the toxic work environment she has created, they are spending time covering the review to sweep it under the rug for the outside world. As an employee who thankfully has only had to work with her sparingly, I feel the same way and know many within the company avoid her at all costs, just as the honest review noted. It’s disappointing that other leadership is focusing their attention on optics rather than solving the root of the issue.
The only way to increase the morale of the company and shift attention to growth is to remove the CGO. From my vantage point, she isn’t performing her role and not only isn’t building an inclusive and collaborative environment, but also is actively destroying the business development unit's ability to foster such an environment across proposal efforts and across the company. Until she is removed, I expect to see Core4ce suffer a mass exodus. She’s a threat to the well-being of our employees and our client relationships.
One of the more blatantly fabricated reviews comments that there is “no leadership change needed,” which I know is not how so many people in the company feel. Top performers are not ok with working with someone who speaks and acts in a derogatory manner to anyone with whom she interacts. How can HR be ok with this behavior?
Core4ce employees reading this who agree should take this opportunity to step up and speak up for the good of the company like others have. It doesn’t need to be here—voicing concerns to HR is a powerful tool—but this is a bigger issue than leadership seems to want to admit. Obviously, someone felt so passionate to bring this to a public forum because this has been an ongoing issue, so let’s demand the change that we know is in the best interest of the company's growth, culture, and employees. I am standing with the previous post and hoping for change.
If the fake posts got anything right, it is that there are a lot of good people on the company. But that won’t matter or be the case for long if someone in a C-level position undermines every employee she speaks to and sabotages relationships across the organization. I hope to see the company take action before it's too late.
