Hello, I know a lot of guys are from colombo this is a cautionary tale for you guys as well. Cause this company is trying to move to colombo as well . Before we talk about their ethical problems with patients let's talk about how they treat employees .
I was hired by them for one of their premium branches as a front office coordinator. But my job was not at all related to my job title . I was told to do cashiering, graphic designing, social media management, Call center, Marketing . None of these were in my job agreement at all. But since I'm a young woman in my early 20s I wanted to do better in my job and thought saying no would come across as a person who is hard to deal with . I witnessed several old workers being laid off for no reason at all. These people have confided in my that they had done mass fires two times so far. If your company mass fire every now and then I don't think the problem is employees but the management . They have very very poor management and the Director is a Doctor who is afraid of people knowing his name . In my stay there I did everything they asked for and even more. After they understood that I'm not a trouble maker they kept piling more and more work outside of my job scope . What took a toll was . There was an aligner day planned on 5th of April. While we have a marketing manager who is also the general manager . Instead of him arranging the day and diving the work to other people . Entire planning of this day was handed over to me . Someone who has no history or expeirnce in sales or marketing which they know. Due to their poor management the day was not successful and not a lot of people came . On 5th I took a leave which I requested in March and which they already knew and were okay with .
Now this marketing manager to hide his incompetence infront of the entire team put the blame on me for people not coming . I was advised to send whatsapp messages and Facebook messages to people . In his argument he said people didn't know to bring money . I clearly mentioned I had mentioned them on the WhatsApp messages and I'm not taking responsibility for people not bringing their money. Cause I don't think I should I'm not even part of the marketing team. At the end of the discussion I met with both manager and the director ( the doctor who hide himself ) and the Directors direct word was to fire me due to being able to do Marketing . Then I made a remark for them to understand that it was not in my job scope. Now they were already in a lot of debt according to them and found the company I work is not so profitable and was planing to fire me since they gave a bit of a higher salary and was planning to hire people for low pay . To do this they manipulated me into saying what I signed for in the past we change business strategy and now we need someone who know marketing and you r not suitable. So they gave me another chatgpt generated ( their all work is chatgpt more on that later) fake job title called Aligner education unit coordinator which is basically writing articles . It didn't even have salary mentioned and looked like something they hurried over . Because I didn't agree right away and took a leave they told me next time I came to office it was already given to another person because we are in a hurry . Which is bull shit
So then they gave me a letter mentioning my agreement ends on 23rd but on good faith I can talk with a new manager they are hiring on 21. I received this on 17. But before that the director urged me to give a resignation so they did not have to pay severance . And knowing this I didn't give one right away and talked to a lawyer and pushed back slowly. They asked me not to come to office from 18th . Even though the ending date was 23rd. And when I sent an email mentioning this to HR what I got was not to talk to them anymore and I had to handover a blazer that they would communicate to me a date and I would revived my March salary and April salary later. This company is notorious for not paying employees their salary on time . Me being passive was like fine as long as I get my money I don't have time to waste on this compnay. But now it's may and they promised to pay before may 10th and now they r saying they can't give me the salary because I didn't give d blazer back which today I sent through my mom cause they emailed saying I'm prohibited to come to work promises .
There's more to my story like how they lied to all the other employees why j left on my own and how they have hired new people for my job for lesser price but lied to me saying company is wrapping up . But what I want to highlight is there's no job security at this place. The doctor also uses chatgot to diagnose clear aligners patients .
So many patients have bad blood with this company cause they lie lie and lie and waste people's money and enegery . They have so many Facebook pages because they get reported every time. So when this company is coming to colombo make sure u don't spend a dime . This company lies and lies and procedures are not that good. Also the nurses are not qualified and the doctors never show their licences that should say you something . If you guys have more questions feel free to ask me
