The once family-like workplace quickly soured under a Makati-area District Manager whose bossiness, public humiliations, and obsessive micromanagement choked the team’s culture.The good thingsThis was a genuinely good job—one I probably shouldn’t have left. The workplace itself felt like a family, with strong camaraderie and support among the staff.
The challengesUnfortunately, the dynamic took a spectacular nosedive the moment the District Manager for the Makati area entered the picture. Beloved by the doctors? Hardly. In fact, “not well regarded” would be the polite version. His attitude could serve as a cautionary tale in a management seminar—bossy to the point of parody, with a flair for publicly embarrassing people in group chats as if humiliation were part of the job description. Micromanagement wasn’t just a habit; it was practically his art form. Under his reign, the warm, family-like culture was steadily smothered, making it almost impossible to thrive—unless, of course, you enjoy working under a microscope held by someone who mistakes control for leadership.
