1/5
Everyone staying here beware. Scarborough TEC has a toxic work culture which is spilling onto paying clients.
I needed extra time in accommodation due to a serious back injury risking further injury if I moved my things. I was told there was no room and if I didn’t leave, the police would be called. Horrible. The woman was so inhumane. Not wanting the police at my door, I risked serious injury having to move my things up and down 4 flights of stairs and what must have been a 200m walk. If I hurt myself further I would have been unable to work which is serious. There was no understanding from the accommodation person and only accusations and threats.
To add insult to injury, some random women approached me in the car park whilst I was moving out and, loudly and publicly accused me in this manner:
“We have seen you wandering around. There are children here and we are wondering what you are up to”. Disgusting humiliating behaviour to endure. I was clearly moving house and even if I wasn’t what kind of way is that to talk to a stranger. Also as far as I am aware there are no children at the Scarborough TEC. She was apparently the duty manager.
Some time later as I was still packing, another woman told me to “move my car” even though I had been given permission to load and unload at that spot. Then the duty manager came sprinting from down the road shouting “have you told him to move!”. It was all very embarrassing and I felt humiliated to be treated in such an appalling manner. There were people around at both incidents.
The staff are clearly high off their own perceived power and arrogance and that is their work culture.
I was not planning to post a public review, however, when I asked how to make a complaint I was directed to the main TEC partnership website. They did not even have the courtesy to respond. So now I am warning the general public about what goes on here. The staff have the potential to verbally attack you. Foreign workers staying here would be ill equipped to deal with this kind of behaviour, and the staff here really cause harm.
I was incredibly upset leaving this place, can’t imagine how hard it would be for a vulnerable or minority person if they did this to them.
I will never stay here again and have warned fellow workers and employers about this nasty behaviour.
