Last week, I had a 3-hour company-wide meeting. The VPs spent half the time glorifying our team, how our numbers increased by 40%, and that our ‘autonomy’ was the main reason the entire department was straightened out. And everyone applauded for us. This morning, we received a calendar invite from Read more
My manager’s obsession with control has gone from bad to officially insane. He already monitors our keyboard activity because our Slack status isn’t enough for him. Every week, he sends our performance stats to the entire department so everyone can see who is lagging. He even writes how much revenue Read more

Meanwhile, the interns? Replying with timestamps, bullet points, and follow-ups like they’re running mission control. Remote work didn’t break communication, it revealed Read more
Was browsing through job openings posted in the past 24 hours and came across this. Like seriously.. why? Toxicity is waving submitted by /u/Doorway_33 [link] [comments]
Hiring managers spend hours on interviews trying to figure out if candidates are legit. References are vague. Resumes are inflated. Background checks miss the real story. What if performance data was permanent, verified, and actually accessible? What if you could see standardized reviews from previous employers—disputes and all—so you know Read more
