Does you job suck? It Could Be Worse!
Do you hate your job? Does it suck so much you want to vomit? I was telling my coworker for some time about my horrible experience at Bank Of America. He then shared a even worse story about his former employer.
My coworker started the story by elling about how bad his company got to be in it’s micromanaging of it’s employees. I don’t know how he was able to deal with a 7 years of working at a company that treated it’s employees worse and worse as the years went out. Here are some of the things below that his company did to there employees:
- At Christmas time they asked people to give up there vacation time: They also asked if anyone was going to be in town over the holiday’s. Of course everyone said they were out of town.
- Excessive Meetings: There were so many meetings it was a waste of time they people could barley have time to actually do there job. It’s possible that you could have a 1 hour meeting to fix something that would take 15 minutes to fix.
- 24 Hour/7 day a week expectation: Most people at the company were salary so the company literally expected you to work 24/7 with no time to yourself and expected the company to be your life. My coworker told me of a time when someone posted on a employee’s Facebook wall asking if they could look at something.
- Outsourcing Galore: This company seemed very big on outsourcing. From what I understand that the outsources workers could not even do the job properly. It would take 2 people to do the work that 1 person should have been able to do. All the company cared about was cheap labor even if it created way more problems than it solved.
So if any of you out there thinks your job sucks it could always be worse as seen from the story my coworker told me!
