Don’t be misled by the company’s brand perception. Behind the facade is a place that will chew you up, drain the life out of you, and toss you aside when you’re no longer useful. Please, don’t make the mistake of joining.The good thingsThere is nothing positive about working at ghd.
The challengesI’ve never felt so hopeless at a job before. I have been mistreated by a department head and her favourites. They don’t just mock and shame people in private, they do it openly, sharing personal details and making cruel jokes about people’s lives. It’s not just hurtful. It’s humiliating. This behaviour is considered normal here.
My mental health has spiralled. I wake up every day dreading work, feeling trapped because I need the job. I’ve become withdrawn, anxious, and deeply unhappy. It’s now affecting my personal life. I’m emotionally drained and constantly on edge, even outside of work. I’m afraid to speak up because I’ve seen how they retaliate. They lie, twist words, and ensure there’s no way out but to suffer in silence. So I just smile, pretending I’m fine while feeling broken inside.
