I believe there are at least 5 groups of people who post here.
First, internet trolls who post on dozens of sites like this just to breed discontent and spread lies because they have no other life. Just like to push people's buttons and often fake discussions with themselves by posting opposing views. This is where you see the same terms used over and over in posts over several months, including where most of the most profane and attack oriented posts originate. Sick people that laugh and delight when people take their bait.
Second, people who don't work for EM, but strongly oppose the company based on their policies on issues such as renewables, etc. Again, mostly negative posts, accuracy questionable. Just want to hurt EM on each and every topic.
Third, current and former employees with legitimate opinions about working at EM, both positive and negative. Strong feelings, and may have vastly different experiences. These usually make reasonable statements with some logic behind what is said.
Fourth, non-employees with a casual interest in EM who only occasionally weigh in on a topic of interest. Usually not terribly positive or negative, just observations.
Finally, current employees who think they can avoid being laid off themselves by talking others into leaving with claims of how EM is an awful place and lots of other companies are so much better. The more that leave, the more secure they feel. I know this is happening, but I can't see how it would really be effective.
I think the majority of posts come from the first 2 groups, with fewer from actual employees, although many from employees likely have legitimate complaints. I am not taking a position on whether working at EM is good or bad, just my observations. It's just difficult for me to believe that professionally educated employees would stoop to such low levels to continuously attack others with such hatred, despite their disappointment in the company's actions. Thoughts?
