It really is a company that's all show and no substance.
During the interview, they made it sound nice, saying everyone could help each other and work as a team. Not long after being hired, though, you were basically left to fight on your own.
It was completely like working in insurance sales, relying entirely on your own ability to cold-call and find clients.
Just when a prospect finally seemed promising, some bizarre procedures, logic, or practices would always discourage people from moving forward.
When something seemed wrong and you slowed things down to protect the client from being scammed, they would, as described above, start emotionally blackmailing you and launching personal attacks.
Early in the morning, someone would sit there like a homeless passerby, pretending nothing was happening, and casually say strange, disgusting things to different male and female colleagues depending on their mood.
Finally, as the nearly three-month probationary period was coming to an end, they found ways to pressure the other person until they became afraid to come to work (I’m not some naive newcomer fresh out of school), then pulled out the move of fabricating charges—when you’re determined to convict someone, you can always find a pretext—and kicked them out for allegedly being absent without leave.
In more than ten years in the workforce, this was the first time I had encountered such a scoundrel. Because there were no safeguards and the electronic clock-in records could not be preserved as evidence, I was unable to report them and could only seethe with anger at having encountered such an unscrupulous villain.
Years later, after seeing so many people speak up here, I realized that this person truly has no ethical bottom line—and that so many others had also been victimized.
