Antiwork

Would you rather work for a large corporation or a small mom and pop business?

Just have been thinking about this, what are some tale-tell signs that a manager, leader or employee will attempt to undermine you or sabotage your career? What are some things that they will say or do? I think we should also look out for predatory coworkers too who are corporate shills looking for their piece of the pie, at your expense.

I mean the entire company. Every level. All he talked about was acquisitions, sales and how well the company was doing.

They were basically sick of the workload, senior management wouldn't listen, so they voted with their feet. So rather than recruit a whole new team, I had enough so left too. June last year I started a new role, with a major fashion brand that sells boots, as a team leader. Initially went really well. Then the wider team had a reshuffle and I was suddenly looking after the retail side of the team, retail IT being something I know very little about. The team as a whole – 10 guys – kept making mistakes with creating MS Dynamics 365 accounts. I looked into it and every member of the team was making these mistakes. I was told by my manager to make an…
