I've been working on this insane project that's already failed once before (before my time). Part of the job is to act as a business analyst/project manager/technical lead. You know how it goes, the “I wear many hats” bullshit. Anyway, I'm working with internal stakeholders and the vendor for our solution is facilitating 98% of the development. I'm responsible for overseeing architecture and making sure they don't fuck anything up, and I'm the communication lifeline between the business stakeholders and the development team. A lot of my job is also putting together test scripts and facilitating sandbox migration. I've been doing all of this while supporting internal production as well. Until this week, I've been stuck in back to back meetings- I've finally been able to catch up this week as it has been a light meetings week. I'm about 98% of the way with my tasks and I'm confident…

I was out at lunch at somewhere famous for chicken. An employee was wearing a shirt that said “Here for the smiles”. I felt both angry and sad at the same time. I don't know anyone in fast food that works where they do for anything other than money.

I'm a 19yr(f) and I work at a large company. This company will be referred to as “” . I started working at about 6 months ago. I live with my parents and grandmother. I thought I should contribute to the house more so I started looking for jobs. As per usual, apply to a hundred and see 4 responses back. Called me a week after applying. I was doing dancing with my hamsters from the excitement. I show to my interview. GM interviews me. Asks me things like: Age? Address? Availability? I was nervous as fuck. Like classroom presentation nervous. She goes on about how she had to fire almost all previous staff due to lack of work and presentation. “So obviously I'm going to hire you.” Bruh, got a job under 5mins. Skip to 3 months later This location is wildin. Employees stealing, threatening, quiting. . .and I'm…

I worked for a five hundred employee company as their Human Resources Manager. Due to some severe office politics and interpersonal issues with my boss, I was fired. After I left one of my staff took over my job. We stayed in touch and she told me she found out there was a hidden camera and microphone that allowed them to monitor every move I made, everything I said, and every interaction I had with coworkers who came by my office. They were also monitoring every website I visited and did screenshots. This was verified by an IT person who was also fired. I struck it up to experience but wonder now should I have sued or would it be a waste of time? Another sad story about corporate America.
