If AO and DT read this, I hope they do something about Spencer Chua to alleviate the suffering of his colleagues who are most definitely demoralised/traumatised by this individual. If you cannot even manage your own staff well, how can you expect to help with the tech manpower at the national level?
Thank you to the other poster for sharing your experience with what is yet another dreadful injustice taking place at human capital. You must have witnessed many atrocities and feel like you have to let it out. Please know that you are not alone and the moral arch will always favour the truth. These "small" people like June Koh cannot hope to cover up their misdeeds with lies (both on and off the forum) forever, and incompetent and sycophantic individuals like Spencer will also be exposed eventually. I would suggest a whistleblowing culture (which is practised at other established companies), if only internally within your department. You can simply send an anonymous email to share the truth about what you and your colleagues have experienced, first to your HOD and later escalate it up the chain of command if nothing is done.

Tbh, I’m surprised it took so long for June Koh’s actions to be highlighted. She was a bully and the most toxic boss I ever had. She shows favoritism to the selected few who would gossip with her. There is even one who faithfully goes to her office daily at a specific time to share about other colleagues. The guy is a slacker and not a team player and yet she gave him an excellent rating.
She gaslights her staff a lot and screams at them if she isn’t happy with them. During after office hours and weekends, she still expects them to reply her WA messages at her beck and call but if they were to “chase” her for urgent approval during her non-working hours, she would blast at them. It’s like walking on eggshells every day when I’m working there.
Before I joined HCC, I was confident and doing well in my previous organisation. I joined IMDA because I thought it would be meaningful to contribute to the Infocomm sector in a different way. But it was the worst decision I’ve made. During my time there, the toxic environment perpetuated by the bosses and some colleagues made me lose my confidence. Every time before I send out any email, I would second guess myself because you never know when the next round of scolding or sarcastic remarks would come. It’s easier to tell me to learn to ignore the comments. But if you face them on a daily basis, it takes a toll physically and emotionally. When I left HCC, I was at the lowest point in confidence and self esteem.
I’m doing well in my current organisation and my bosses appreciate me and recognise my capability. It just proved to me that I was not as stupid or incapable as JK had made me feel.
