Toxic culture post acquisition - Avis employé Project Manager Renaissance Learning

There are countless issues with this workplace, and it's hard to know where to start. The culture here is beyond toxic—bullying and micromanagement are the norm. The inequalities are very much evident, with zero effort towards creating an inclusive or equitable environment. Microaggressions are rampant, and this has only worsened since the GL acquisition. Employee feedback has highlighted these issues, yet management only engages in superficial "tick box exercises" with no real action or accountability. Favouritism is out of control. Meanwhile, employees desperate to secure their positions post-acquisition resort to underhanded tactics like throwing colleagues under the bus to gain favour with senior leadership. The management is entirely incompetent. It's a "yes man" culture—if you voice concerns or offer new ideas, you're ignored or dismissed. One manager even told an unhappy employee, "Well, they can just leave." This kind of attitude reflects the complete disregard for employee wellbeing and morale. HR offers no support, instead enabling the bullies to thrive unchecked. The result? High turnover, with employees either quitting, or going on sick leave. This workload often falls on remaining staff, who are underpaid and overworked, leading to severe burnout—issues disproportionately affecting employees of colour.
