Toxic environment with Negative people in Campus

Educator (Former Employee) - Dover Campus - June 25, 2023

Utterly disgraceful and toxic environment place for Primary School Dover. Team was not welcoming and always gave negative remarks and give unacceptable expressions. No guidance and suggestions was not forthcoming and not helpful whenever questioned was asked for new comer. Not responding to urgent requests and educators will screamed their lungs out at the students with frustration in many occasions that could be heard across another classroom. Overall it was not a great place to work with as they don’t respect each other and neglect positive suggestions.

Pros

Great benefits and Salaries

Cons

Negative energy environment and toxic people in Primary campus

Rewarding

Co- Chair of the Cancer Patient Aid Association (Former Employee) - Singapore - October 28, 2018

This was a voluntary position at my school in Singapore, I was the Co-chair of a charity organisation called Cancer patient aid association, which helped raise money for cancer patients in Mumbai. This position taught me how to lead a large group of people and to work alongside many different personality types. Also getting the opportunity to volunteer for such a worthy cause is such a rewarding experience as you get to not only make a difference in people's lifes, but see it happen.

UWCSEA Dover - Toxic Junior School Management

Primary School Teacher (Current Employee) - Dover Campus - September 28, 2017

While many colleagues are wonderful committed people, and the students, like kids the world over, are regularly amazing and great to teach, the prevailing management style in the Junior School can be one of intimidation and disenfranchisement of staff. If your voice is raised in a way that is viewed as contrary to the Junior School management, you risk being ostracised and ultimately eliminated. The resulting cliques throughout the Junior School staff are exclusive and guarded as people shore up their territory. The absence of open dialogue is shocking and stunts personal and professional growth. Employment and subsequent promotion are frequently unilateral decisions by the Junior School Management, resulting in comments such as this one to me, "If X is going for that position, there is no point in the rest of us even thinking about it.". I know of at least four recent Primary School appointments that weren't even advertised internally, let alone in the public domain. This carefully cultivated indebtedness is a powerfully successful tool in maintaining a status quo which favours the sycophant and his narcissistic manager. When a person is permitted to wield power in this way, with impunity, thanks to ineffective senior management, no salary will compensate you adequately to work in such a stressful environment.

Pros

Meeting some amazing, enthusiastic people.

Cons

Bullying by management.

Productive and great workplace

Security Executive (Current Employee) - 1207 Dover Road Singapore 139654 - August 2, 2017

Working hours is good. Great colleagues but occasionally the work load can be overwhelming. Bosses are knowledgeable. As it has been 10 years, I feel that I am in need for the search of a new work environment.
