A storm is brewing in the corporate world as Deepa Sita, the newly appointed Chief Financial Officer of Metcash, faces allegations of bullying and misconduct, brought to light by two former employees.
The claims highlight a culture clash within the company's Sydney offices, where the differences between South African and Australian workplace practices appear to have sparked discord.
Greg Buxton, former General Manager of Finance Transformation, and Delia Sparkes, former Group Treasurer, have each filed separate claims with the Fair Work Commission, alleging that Sitas approach to management has been marked by aggression and a lack of proper communication, as per report by The Australian Financial Review.
