Please add Avenue K (City Properties Sdn Bhd) in the list.
For those who need clarification, this Avenue K is the shopping mall (opposite KLCC) and City Properties is the mall management. I worked in the management office, Marketing Department 2 years ago and it was the start of my nightmares.
1. Extremely obvious favoritism
- One particular staff (who hold same position as me) get jealous easily and she loved to sabotage all my events/projects. When she had her tantrum, she screamed at other colleagues, my clients too, throw stuff at people she don't like i.e me, and badmouth me to all other colleagues. GM and HR told me to keep silent and forgive her because she has mental problem and need more attention. Also, i was obliged to help her in all her projects but when it comes to mine, i was required to work independently.
- Besides, there were alot of instances where i perform better than this particular staff, but in the end, i was being criticized and verbally abused, but she get compliment by GM.
2. Hire friends who are incompetent
- The GM prefers to hire her own trusted friends to hold important position - Marketing Manager and PR Manager. I wouldn't have complaint if they were competent. Unfortunately, they weren't and most of their jobs were passed down to me. And all the work i did, the credit will always goes to them since only managers are allowed to attend meeting with Directors.
3. Intentional torts, false accusation and defamation
- After 2 years with this company, i finally couldn't take it anymore and resigned. I was supposed to serve 2 months notice. However, things started to happen 3 weeks before my last day. First of all i found that i cannot access my email from home. Then in the morning i found my access card was blocked and cannot set foot in office. When the security finally let me in, i saw my PC was locked. My GM, HR and Marketing Manager forced me to sign a 'misconduct letter' saying i have stolen company property, i was shocked and asked them to show me proof but they couldn't show any. I told them i won't sign the letter without solid proof. Then they forced me to sign a 'warning letter' saying that my attitude make 'everyone' feel 'unhappy and uncomfortable'. When i asked which person(s) complaint about this? They told me actually it's my Marketing Manager (and i assume the PR Manager too), she felt stressed when i finish my job fast, and whenever i urge her about deadlines, it makes her very uncomfortable. HELLO??? what is this logic???? I denied the accusation too. In the end they said do not want to see me again so i must sign early releasement, which i agreed because no point to talk to these unethical people anymore.
-I was escorted out IMMEDIATELY by security (like a criminal) because they do not want me to take any important info with me. They immediately took away my whole PC and CPU, all name cards (even the holder i bought), and ALL papers on my table. I did not even have time to take my personal belonging (have to come back again tomorrow to pack).
-Also, the GM threatened to spread bad words about me to everyone in the industry, and according to her 'will ensure i cannot find any job'.
I was one of the top achiever in this company but in the end not only they did not appreciate me, they treat me like criminal. I have not stolen anything (monetary or non-monetary), and after i resigned, i even compiled a list of client/customer base for my Marketing Manager. The way they CONFISCATE all my name cards, files/papers, PC and CPU, sent security to escort me really cause me alot of emotional distress. I am hpy that i found a job just 2 weeks after this drama. However ,I want to share my personal experience here, and let everyone know about this unethical company. Please be very careful if you plan to join this company, don't be tempted by the slightly above market rate salary.

They treated you like a criminal. Seriously, they are not professional at all. Thank you for the info
