G J Thomson & Associates Poor treatment of employees Oakleigh Victoria

This report is not to save people money but rather to HELP them to keep their self esteem intact instead of losing it all together by working for this awful company. An employer is supposed to help his/her workers feel secure and valued in their role at that company but Greg Thomson's evil Office Manager was too damn difficult to work for. All she ever did was make me feel inferior and so nervous all the time that I had tension headaches constantly and lost a lot of sleep. I was only there a few days per week yet dreaded waking up on each of those days and having to face that workplace.

I worked there for a few months and she always had some sort of issue with me, yet I did my utmost to fit into the office environment which was uncomfortably small and I am an extremely sociable person! Yet these people were too hard to connect with. Even another of their employees had issues with me and I was nothing but kind to her. Just because these ignorant people have had vast experience and training in the insurance industry and I didn't, I was made to feel stupid and my work efforts were never good enough while I was there.

Also, it is very inappropriate for a person in authority such as this office manager to discuss people's private lives and talk about others in a derogatory manner, yet she did this constantly. It made me sick to my stomach to hear her put people down, thinking she was so superior in this human race yet she did not realise that the whole time, she was just perceived as a bitter old grump who needed to get a bit on the side! I pitied her for being so judgemental and nasty when what she should have been doing was being happy that she was in such a position of authority and being a positive example to the employees.

So my advice to anyone considering applying for a job at this firm is RUN, run for your life and don't even go there because you will be nothing but disappointed (unless you're an a** kisser who fits in with a bunch of snobs who are out of touch with reality). I know I am not the only former employee who feels this way. Many of their past employees I've heard were dissatisfied with their treatment whilst at this firm.
