Oh great, another CEO circling the wagons instead of actually fixing the problem. Typical.

Stuff2026-07-03T22:18:13.000Z

the CEO gets a golden handshake too while staff suffer. Smh.

'Does not accept these claims reflect' - yeah nah get stuffed mate. Victims supporting victims? More like victims being bullied by management.

Exactly! I worked there for two years and the culture was toxic as hell. Nothing's changed.

Taylor Wright2026-07-03T22:32:13.000Z

So the people helping victims of crime are getting bullied themselves? The irony is just... wow.

my cousin worked there and said the same. Shame cos the frontline workers are amazing.

ffs this country's workplaces are a mess. Pay peanuts get monkeys in management I reckon.

I had a family member use Victim Support once and they were great but this makes me wonder now

CEO should just resign. If you can't take feedback without getting defensive you're not fit to lead.

Lunch break read - yikes. 'Horrified' is the right word. Hope the board takes this seriously before more good staff leave.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-04T01:11:13.000Z

won't. Too busy patting each other on the back.
