Most colleagues are easy to get along with
I’ve been gone for a while, but I still can’t help laughing when I hear the gossip from inside. The boss is actually a decent person, but the trusted people they rely on are truly awful.
1. A PM who can’t remember anything. Right after you finish a meeting with them, they can forget it or mix it up with something else, then turn a minor issue into a major one, turning a small problem into a huge mess and making partner companies furious. But the boss supports them to the end... hrhrhr
2. An HR person who can put everything off until the last day, forget or omit things, and then come up with a pile of excuses, and who often doesn’t listen when people talk. The company actually lets someone like this handle recruitment... another hrhrhr. But the boss supports them just the same. According to gossip from inside, they’ve recently managed to annoy even senior people at headquarters, so they have it coming.
3. There’s also another PM who spends all day at work and nobody knows what they’re doing, constantly coming up with all sorts of wild, lousy ideas. There’s little to show for it, but they talk a lot of nonsense. The boss supports them just the same because they’ve known each other for a long time and are very close—good buddies.
Recently, friends still inside have said that things are getting worse and worse. If you’re looking to develop your career, please treasure your life.
Also, the pay isn’t high. Promises of raises are just empty talk.
