Inconvénients
* During the boom, there was a rush to put 'bums on seats' as a result, a number of individuals that weren't fairly suited to the mining industry were employed in various roles. A number of these individuals have maintained employment within the company and gained promotions to level of decision makers, but are not necessarily competent or respected, this is creating disharmony in many areas throughout the business. * Nepotism & cronyism is rife throughout the business. * Training is not well executed and opportunities for training are poor. * Very, VERY poor support for employee's suffering with mental health issues, most colleagues that I am aware of, will not disclose mental health issues &/or use of anti-depressants/other medications, for fear they will be targeted or dismissed on ground of not being suitable for the role. * Left hand doesn't talk to the right, communication of interface operations is poor. * HR are difficult to contact, rarely respond and are strongly company biased. * When a leader targets an employee, there is no support provided to stop bullying/victimisation.
