I love my job
How difficult it is to try to rebuild a minimum of credibility in the market after the arrival of the pirates....... mission impossible.
I always feel a bit annoyed when I see people being applauded for going the extra mile because they keep working over into the evenings and weekends. Sorry but that just screams to me that there is something seriously wrong? I don’t apologise for only working the hours I am contracted to and I work very well during those hours.
I pu-e when I get nominated for a Keyloop award, as well seeing that 99% of the nominees get nominated for doing our/their job. In particular I pu-e on a comment like great job organizing the SLT event - isn’t it their job as event team?
What we are seeing now is a consequence of the complete failure of effective employee management since the FP takeover.
As someone who genuinely wants the company to do well, my advice to management would be as follows:
- Fix the completely broken performance management process. Having merit increase 9 months after year end based on 5 months work makes no sense whatsoever. The only reason I can see for not aligning them is to deprive employees of 6 months worth of salary increase which is hardly putting the employee experience first.
- Since the FP takeover the rewards for KLT have increased significantly compared to the previous ELT in terms of salary, bonuses and stock whilst for everyone else they’ve reduced particularly for those who previously were awarded stock. This situation needs to be reconsidered.
- Too many decisions are being made in a bubble at high level without consulting with the people with the knowledge. An example of this would the decision implement Netsuite in a completely unrealistic timescale due to massively underestimating the complexity of the business. Less arrogance and more consultation with employees is required.
- Encouraging or turning a blind eye to the writing of fake reviews on Glass Door is extremely unethical behaviour and needs to stop.
- Abusing employees and telling them to leave if they raise any concerns is a sign of a toxic culture similar to that of Oceanview, which had tragic consequences this week. You need to listen and value your detractors as they could be raising issues that are important to the company.
cdemets you are such a tease, I have looked at the last posts on Glassdoor and they very similar to your example - you are already posting on Glassdoor aren't you?
Nine 4* and 5* reviews posted on the 22nd June? Who's paying for these, how do I get in on the action? I can do it, here is an example of my work.

Pros. The company is the greatest known to man lead by the absolute dream of a management team paying the best salaries and offering the best working conditions a person could ever wish for.
Cons. I can't think of any at all, in fact I wish I could also spend my whole life in the office it's that good.
Advice to management. Keep doing what you doing, you are the greatest.
Interesting company to exploit for emerging "managers" who quickly earn good salaries and bonuses, say two bullsh-t and then disappear.

Because the can't afford the brain drain it would lead to.
Genuine question. Do the people posting utter BS here ACTUALLY care about how us, hardworking people who actually enjoy our jobs and want the business to do well, feel?
Because I can assure you, your behaviour is taking its toll on people who aren't even in your direct firing line.
A few years back we had a scheme where folk who were unhappy with the direction of the company could take voluntary redundancy. As I remember quite a few people took up the offer, so why not run the scheme again?
Sorry, what? You can't bully someone more senior to you?
Clearly you're involved and you're trying to justify your vile behaviour.
"Bullying is behaviour that hurts someone else, including name calling, spreading rumours, threatening or undermining someone."
This is taken from website for children. If they can understand it, you certainly should be able to...
There is absolutely no doubt to anybody with half a brain they have been flooding Glassdoor with fake reviews for quite some time. Given the similarity of them all, I'd say most if not all are being written by just one person.
Agree one of two of the comments on here have been a bit below the belt, but you can't really bully anybody who's in a position of authority to you, and none of this vitriol exists in a vacuum. FP have done nothing but punch down at their workforce since they arrived.
Also easy to say just move on, but when you have financial responsibilities - kids, mortgage, bills to pay, and most of your professional skill set is highly proprietary due to the nature of Keyloop's product and technologies, it can feel like options are limited. Not to mention some people have dedicated literally decades of their life to this company and still want to see it succeed despite everything, that's a hard yoke to shake off.
Get a grip people, she was just saying that the personal comments/attacks towards people are out of order and the untrue speculation about things that aren't happening are potentially damaging to those teams involved. She also specifically said she isn't asking people to leave positive glassdoor reviews
If the session is recorded, dump some bits of it and send it to the tabloid medias anonymously. They would probably be very interested in this, as well those how honored our excellent HR and internal comms team with their latest “award”.
Probably HR comments could be against UK/I laws, so HR could be prosecuted..
A lot of people who use this site have not been involved in any abuse or lies. Most are probably hardworking employees who are concerned about some of the practices and behaviour going on in the company. They use an anonymous forum because they don’t trust the internal processes for dealing with grievances. What we are seeing now is an orchestrated campaign by HR/Comms to stop freedom of speech on a public message board because they don’t like or want to hear some of the genuine grievances felt within the company.
How bitter is the truth.
This site and the comments here are utterly vile, degrading and in the vast majority of instances provably false and misleading.
A number of ex employees and people hanging on bringing the company down from inside, why? Do the ones who LIKE working here a favour and move on if that's how you feel.
Actually what was "implied" today was that the constant immature trolling and personal attacks from some of you on here clearly aimed at particular individuals could cause those at the end of these nasty childish personal attacks to suffer mental health issues as a result. You have no idea the impact your keyboard bullying could have on a person and i'm sure you probably don't care or are getting a weird kick from doing so, but maybe you need to learn to listen better and bully less. By all means express your displeasure about the company or better still why not find a new company with a culture you prefer, but quit the nasty disgusting personal attacks. School yard bullies are not welcome here.
The HR team are clearly practicing in very unethical behaviour. We had the admission today that people have been encouraged to write positive reviews on Glass Door although everyone already knew that this was clearly the case. However to write/tick-up that appalling abusive ‘Suomynona’ post below is absolutely disgraceful, and they should be the ones leaving this company.
In the UK&I townhall today it was implied that anyone who writes negative remarks on here, or other social media, has mental health issues. How demeaning to people who have genuine concerns about how the company is run or the direction it is going in, BUT also what an absolutely disgusting attitude towards mental health issues and the people who suffer with them. I'd make a complaint to HR, but ............
I got to finish 3 hours early if I put a Glassdoor review on. Enjoy “Beautiful Office” five star review. HR bonus help……
And the last two posts tell you everything you need to know about the culture at Keyloop now.
There aren't even enough of you disgruntled sour screamy_cunts to downvote the previous comment <3 Where is your fighting spirit, or has the bunch of Spice Girls taken it from you and have you long since lost your glitter, you miserable twerps
Looking at the up/down votes this is a circle jerk of around 25 disgruntled employees echo-chambering each other to new heights. Do your job, or leave, what kind of BS is spewing your vile here all the time, and what use does it have other than to enhance the rate at which your body generates cortisol, leading to an earlier demise.
Any news from today's meeting? (Sweden and Denmark)
The toy in the hands of four spoiled children is breaking.......
Will the real TK stand up?
Or should I say Bob Parr and explain what an INCREDIBLE mess you have made of thIs company.
No one wants to work for you except the Old Spice Girls out on there jollies, Wannabe,s
Sorry we had to disappoint you, by only telling you good news. You are still free to go if you don’t feel at home.
China is a hard market to operate in, both from a product/customer perspective, but also politically and contractually. India is a global hub for keyloop and an obvious place to expand, with or without the China closure plan. Yes getting into the country is much harder than it used to be.
Yes it’s a lot of years worth of experience to lose in China that’s going to take months or even years to gain back. That should not be underestimated.
I personally think that we may see a possible re-org in certain areas to justify any merit increases that are paid. It has happened before and the usual areas of the business are the sacrificial pigs.
We get a 2% increase in return for a smaller team and extra workload dumped upon us.
Hope it doesn't happen but somebody may get lucky and the pay out they are waiting for. Others will get additional work load and stress
wrt China closure - combined 70+ years of Rev8 support experience being canned, to be replaced by new hires in India. What could go wrong with that plan?
I suppose the argument for the closure would be that we're not doing much, if any, business in China anymore. Which is fair enough, but begs the question how much business do we do in India or Poland???????
4%? we should be so lucky! I shall lower my expectations to 2.5 - 3
Thanks Tom
Do send us a postcard of your latest travels
It’s not going to be anywhere near 9%. Expect an average pot of 4%
Interesting that average pay in the UK has increased by 7.2% in the last three month's.
Roll on the JAF rollout and let's see what the KLT really think of looking after it's ASSociates. Anything less than a 9% rise would be a pay cut again.
It seems like they're trying to make them appear more authentic by listing something in the cons section that vaguely resembles a negative, but they're doing a hilariously pathetic, half ars-d job of it none the less. Some of the genuine recent reviews have been so damning HR might have just lost the will to even try properly.
Talj to me. Anyone else find it very strange that several 5* Glassdòor reviews have appeared on the site over the last few days. How much are KLT paying per review ? Can they bung me a few quid ? I don't mind writing a load of tosh and ticking the 5* box for a few quid. Much love.
Joy vacuum and her merry band of nitwits need to stop with pointless award events, smell the roses and quit. We used to have some really great, honest HR people who put us and our customers first. Now we are stuck with these pretentious buffoons; who seem to get promotions, pay increases and nominated (not sure who by) for awards despite doing nothing good. Where has the Human element of HR gone? Flushed down the loo with the rest of the sh*t that Charlotte spews. Such a shame as the remaining 'good' ones seem to have changed for the worse too. Also, there's constant fear of job losses but what effective organisation of keyloops size need a whole internal communications team? HR and comms were better in 2019 - 2020. We should bring those people back again. Where is Cath? Get her back in!
And just like clockwork another party dress event, splashed on social media, same old hangers on. More 1st loser awards but we love a free p1$$ up on expenses. Can’t they see the damage they cause to the employees. Yes of course they can but HR and comms aren’t there to care….. are they 😡 #MeMeMeMeMe
