Working here in Edinburgh can be extremely difficult because of the toxic culture that’s been allowed to develop. The environment often feels bullying in nature and is ruled by fear, which has had a huge impact on staff wellbeing. People have spoken about feeling depressed, anxious, and even having thoughts of suicide because there’s nowhere to turn once you’ve been targeted.If you do your job properly, rather than being supported, you can be made to feel like a problem. Serious incidents are brushed aside or covered up instead of being risk assessed properly, simply because too much paperwork might reflect badly on management. This creates a very unsafe and unhealthy workplace.That said, many of the staff are absolutely fantastic and work hard every day to provide the best support possible. With the right leadership — a manager who had the ability to show kindness and care — this could be an amazing place to work. Sadly, under the current way of running things, that support just isn’t there.
