Redundancies galore in Australia

Marketing

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Saint-Gobain has continued to make roles redundant in Australia following the CSR takeover. Many positions in Administration and Marketing have already been cut, with IT and HR in progress. The company has lost a significant amount of experienced and knowledgeable staff, and those who remain can't get a job elsewhere or are unemployable.

Cons

- There’s a lack of clear direction - Opportunities for career growth are limited - New roles aren’t being advertised, yet promotions seem to go to those who are most vocal in meetings. They have a knack for promoting micro-managers. - Many senior leaders lack formal qualifications and are widely disliked within the business.
