Nice work - Avis employé Analyst Future First

The cause itself, improving social mobility, is important. Unfortunately, the organisation is failing it.

Future First is the definition of toxic leadership. Senior management have no idea what they’re doing and rule through intimidation, not strategy. The CEO and COO are paid far too much for doing very little. Staff are routinely asked to lie in reports to funders to cover up missed targets. When outcomes aren’t met, the solution isn’t accountability or learning. Long term partnerships fail because the lower level staff turnover is so high and senior leadership don’t retain information. Corruption runs deep. Entire teams were made redundant, only for their roles to be quietly re-advertised as near identical positions but at significantly lower pay. This isn’t just poor practice, it’s unethical and they did it in the knowledge that they could rely on grey areas in employment law to screw over employees. Morale is crushed under the weight of poor leadership decisions. Staff join with passion for social mobility and good intentions, but that energy quickly evaporates when they see how poorly run the organisation truly is. People are often mislead at interview stage. Dedicated, talented employees are burned out or pushed out by lack of culture and support, while senior leadership, whom there are too many of, pretend the boat isn’t sinking.

Great and understanding team, progressive work culture.
