STORY 52

I have a NDA and the lawyers just warned me when I was still asking questions that I could not speak.

I warned of various issues from Data Privacy laws to furlough misuse and tax issues. I was also dyslexic and asking for reasonable adjustments. I was doing a good job but my boss was based abroad, not understanding things domestically and therefore missing things including legally. When I started highlighting these more vigorously and asking more often to actually get reasonable adjustments, they put me on a performance review. The performance review was for a few weeks, when I was ill and also there was no proper feedback. I have subsequently found out that my boss has made statements that are factually incorrect and also HR did not even give me basic rights. The company was particularly impacted by Covid but they wasted a lot of money and did things that most people would disagree with and showed clear bias and a superiority mentality.

Due to my ill health and the bullying he put me under for the last few months, I settled but it has knocked my confidence and I am still emotionally distraught and suffering from sleep issues a year later. HR are covering up, as are senior management. They are still likely breaking the law on things like privacy and for Governmental contracts but I can’t say anything .

Their PR is all about inclusivity. I wish people could look between the lines and see the real company (discriminatory and law breaking). 

Based on the potential law changes for NDA, I gave them the opportunity to do the right thing and answer questions. Their lawyers again hid behind the NDA. The silence speaks volumes.
