    I worked at Rathdowne almost 6 years since Aug 2015 to april 2021. I worked on Level3 had always love working there. Had some issues with one of the co worker but until Abid and Rajdeep was there as CP barely had issues. They understood people can have different ways of working and can clash. They always knew how to keep things balanced and nice working environment. Whereas the day management started changing specially when Abid left they started doing partialism. At start of the job I was given contracted hours of 7-1 on weekends whereas I always showed interest of getting hours increased whenever someone left on timely manner. Abid shifted me to 7-3 but he did not give me contract where I even did not think of getting it changed. Whereas when he left the new CP MARC without my consent took my shift away from me and gave it other girl who was also on 7-1 contracted hours shift. He left soon and after tried with each and everyone to get back the hours- krishan, Steve Robert and list goes on. Nobody cared about giving genuine response. Even before leaving things got so worse I requested the floor change but then Pravin did not even consider my request and abused me on phone being a binger and rather than accepting my request of floor change he threatened me with either I leave the job or go casual. I resigned with heavy heart and felt useless as being a worker at one place from 6 years and nobody cares about you and easily want to get rid of u as you are speking for ur right and affect its causing on your mental health. Such a pathetic Management since GM Krishan joined he just do nothing just peek in cameras and chasing people on floor for every little mistake they make.

    As a former employee who decided to leave, the management was incredibly poor and incompetent. It would be constructive if team members effectively communicated to their staff. Unfortunately, Steve and Joanne who I had emailed to get assistance with either did not reply or were of no help at all. I hope in these trying times the management pay more attention to their staff.

    My father lived the last 2 years of his life here, he was loved by the staff, he had special relationships with each of them who cared for him and he will be missed.. he passed away 11/6/17. He enjoyed a unique and querky level of independence with the support of staff and his electric devices and I will be forever grateful to Rathdowne Place for their great work. This is a hard thing, we cannot expect care of a loved one to be as good as what we could give them with our own unconditional love, so within the boundaries of what is possible, what is affordable and what people are willing to do, this experience has been exceptional. Thank You 1000 times over. xxxx
