Don’t give them the satisfaction
When the next round of layoffs happen, the guy in charge of HR will stare coldly into your eyes while an outside consultant reads a prepared statement explaining your severance package benefits. No compassion and no remorse. He wants to see how much... — read more
Why do people stay?
Reading these posts it's obvious that so many of you despise your jobs. If that's the case, why don't you quit? Nobody is forcing you to be here. I like my job. I like having a job when the economy is far from ideal. But if I didn't, nothing could... — read more
Anything would be better than this
Honestly, sometimes flipping burgers at McDonalds seems like a preferable option to this place. I'm so tired of the constant stressing, politics, nepotism over merit, corrupt managers... It never ends. I don't see how things could get much worse than... — read more
Has HR ever helped anyone?
I always knew that HR was never there because of the employees, but I hoped that maybe in some cases they could be a place of support and help for us. What a mistake. They simply do not take our interests into account at all. I had a little problem... — read more

Opinions from other current employees?
