The Very Group reviews

Dont come here! There is an undercurrent of nastiness. (This review will be undermined massively by HR and staff they order to do so) Comparative performance reviews six monthly where your manager has to grade you against your peers, not everyone can do well! Some have to get a lowly "1" or a "2" which means you arent doing well and may get no pay rise or bonus. Managers then have to "fight" for their favourite staff to receive the higher "3" or "4" grades in Consistency Forums run by HR. At these, forums employees are criticised and pilloried aby other managers trying to win the higher grades for their favoured staff. Good people are put down to "2" and "1" and they dont deserve it! There is NO appeal procedure at all. Part of this whole process is staff stabbing each other in the back to look good or working many hours overtime unpaid to be working above the call of duty. There are "Your Shout" online feedback sessions to management. However although claimed to be anonymous most staff dont believe it as you are asked so many details its easy peasy to id you. If you arent wanted, they get rid and you arent allowed to say this, they say "x" is pursuing interests elsewhere etc. All part of the "happy happy" culture. Its all happy falseness where you cannot and must not criticise the state of play. Could go on and on. Its like a cult! Oh, if there IS bonus, the low paid staff get an average of 0 to 8% of say 15 to 34k. The higher up you go the percentage bounus paid increases massively to a naximum 40% for those bosses on 90 to 500K (estimate) Certainly aint fair! Forced fun all the time! We all dont want to wear pink or bring a cake to work!
