Ashamed of the things I did for paycheck?

Getting thrown the RIF was the best. I would never have willingly left, but absolutely ashamed at the things I did for my salary. Find a company that aligns with your moral beliefs, or at least a job that you can switch companies easily and still... — read more

Town hall

Creativity & Innovation

Zero creativity and initiative with this company unless it involves opening up centers in India or propping Tom up once a month to slur lies and gibberish to all of us. And with morale in the gutter how can anyone be creative? Even in marketing. A... — read more
