Staff are being bullied with threats of disciplinary action

Following on from the Thomas Cook manager who wrote in (Travel Weekly October 23), I share the view that senior managers in the company are bullying managers and staff with threats of disciplinary action as well as harassingunder-performing staff to leave.

I was told I should resign from my post after my shop failed its audit. It was the first audit I had been through since joining Thomas Cook after my previous employer, Carlson, merged with them.

I had never received any thorough audit training from Thomas Cook.

Nor had I ever failed an audit with my previous employers.

I have seen other Thomas Cook managers fail an audit and shortly after announce they are stepping down or leaving the company.

I now believe they were probably ‘helped’ into making this decision.

Everyone knows that audits are very important and are there to protect the company’s assets.

But I am disgusted with the way I have been treated by senior managers at Thomas Cook when all that was required was a little training.
