“you Can't Discuss your wages.” B***h, we all knew you were hiring people at a higher wage than people who had been there for years and had more qualifications.

They ignored shut down mandates during covid and then lied about it underoath and the judge overseeing the case still sided with them despite providing evidence they had done so on both counts. There is no justice in this country. There's just corporations and everyone else.

Two different places I worked created roles for minorities with a plan to not retain them so they can hire more minorities to satisfy quotas. If you were any good, they would promote you to a real job and hire another minority. Someone in HR told me “the reports only show how many the company hires, not how many they keep.”

They tried to get me to sign one when I retired but I just laughed at them and walked out. When you retire you are not under any circumstances required to sign an NDA!!!

They layed off 160 people so they could afford to give the COO a 30% raise.

Barclays would refund those charges for exceeding your overdraft if it was clear you had a good income or decent savings. But they’d enforce those charges on the poor single mothers who were struggling to live.

Not an employer but a client had my company sign a NDA to never reveal his personal life. One of the worlds most well know financial guys worth 10’s of billions. Anyhow tear down and rebuild he and his wife’s personal home. Demoing her bathroom and huge black very real looking dildo falls from the top of her vanity cabinet. The timing was such that she walked in right at that moment. Everyone looked at it and then her. She says “well x doesn’t f**k me anymore” she picks it up and kisses it. Walks out.

Our sales department deliberately used deceptively vague language when selling extremely expensive travel packages to disabled passengers. They routinely left caregivers stranded with no accommodation other than “the floor” or sleeping in the same bed as their patients. They also routinely failed to provide accessible bathrooms for disabled passengers. They also lost/damaged wheelchairs and mobility aids. There was little to no sympathy for these passengers and their caregivers when they rightly complained. When I tried to raise the issue with higher ups I was labelled a trouble maker. I left the company back in 2019 but I know nothing has changed in regards to sales. The price for the cheapest trip offered was over 2k cnd per person for a two day trip. The average booking was 8k for a 5 day holiday. They charge much more now. Can you imagine paying 8 thousand dollars and not being able to shower, or your mobility aid being lost. Then when you complain you are told you were never promised anything only “we will do our best” or “that shouldn’t be a problem!” F*****g disgraceful.

I worked for a great Fintech start-up that got acquired by another company that was pretending to be a Fintech, but was actually a private equity company that would buy and gut competition. The owner of the new company is a real life billionaire villain. He bought an island and cut off beach access to the locals. A real piece of s**t. My team wasn't touched in the acquisition because we were deploying the product to the customers, so we were the ones that brought in the revenue. At one point, the new owner was a huge twat to my awesome boss. At that point we started a mass exodus. 90% of the team left in the next 2 months. This killed a $10M project and set the f****r's acquisition goals back by years.

I discretely took my NDA (I was in charge of them) when I left. My boss is a f*****g b***h and not even her kids can stand her. That is all.

They misused pandemic assistance funds.

I worked for a school district that changed grades to boost graduation rates.

A publication I worked for completely embezzled from the parent company. The editor in chief hired their best friend as creative director. Creative director contracts their husband as a “men’s fashion editor” when the publication had no men’s fashion section and was not a fashion-related pub. He was paid thousands monthly on retainer and almost never came into the office, and if he did he never did any work. On top of that he was paid usage fees for travel images he took and were printed. That family took a one week trip for a story, brought their child, and submitted a $40,000.00 expense report after for it. Oh, then there were the future invoices for her husband’s usage fees for his photos, while they were being paid to be there because it was for a story. Other editors in chief from other publications were given a $25,000.00 clothing budget every year and a daily black car driver to take them to the office. When I worked for another title in the building that EIC submitted a very high expense report which included his groceries. The company would even provide interest free down payments to EICs for homes but they stopped doing that. Meanwhile they ran multiple rounds of layoffs a year, consolidated staffs so they worked across multiple titles, and paid peanuts to regular employees. I was laid off from that company twice within 2 years and they didn’t vest my 401K match because both times I missed the cutoff by months.

I worked for the political consultant best known in DC circles for having gotten a dead fish in the mail from Rahm Emanuel. The consultant was a super weird boss. Full of shady business practices, including expensing all of his personal s**t like family vacations to the business. But this is the story that tends to blow minds: My former employer had me print out his emails so he could handwrite his responses, which I would type up and send back. ETA: no, I wasn't his assistant lol. He was too cheap to hire one. So he'd pull people off time sensitive client projects to do this c**p, which turned everything into chaos. One of the many reasons turnover was high and the business failed.

we had a client, who sold himself as a technical consultant. he was completely inept guy, whose only skill was to wow non-technical people by dropping technical jargon, most of it he didn't even understand what it meant. he had couple of clients, who apparently had given him a blank check to take care of any IT problem they would have. this guy would invent emergencies, then have a lot of 'work' done on his behalf. I'm pretty sure this was driven by him realizing at the end of the month that he couldn't afford all the expensive s**t he was into, so once again our phone rings and he asks to look at something completely useless. his customers adored him as he was smooth talker, dressed nicely and had a lot of good references, unfortunately from other people he was borderline or totally conning.

He's actually a really nice guy. Former marine, took about 6 months off when he adopted a young boy to get him acclimated into the family

One of my old bosses reprimanded an employee after the employee called HR to file a complaint about him. This is because the HR employee happened to be a friend of the boss in question, and the HR employee blabbed about it to the boss. The boss did not get fired but he did get reassigned not long after. Not sure what happened to the HR employee.

My separation agreement ends today so. Sorry about it guys. I'm 36; 35 at the time. Abercrombie and Fitch home office. They knew their boardwalk was dangerous (I didn't). People had been slipping and falling on it for years. Then Me happened. I slipped and fell, which caused an L1 burst fracture. I ended up needing urgent surgery to fuse T11-L3 in order to stabilize the fracture. I was hospitalized for 8 days and out of work for 5mo. They are self insured basically meaning that they administrate their own worker's comp stuff, not the state. They f****d it all up so comically badly. They made my life a living hell on top of it being an actual living hell because of the horrific pain I was in due to injury and surgery. I had to quit my side job as a server, expenses skyrocketed, and I was isolated and financially devastated as a result of the accident. And I cannot stress enough how incompetent the claim administrator assigned to my case was - if she could screw it up, she did. Their people talked a lot of s**t to my attorney about how badly they wanted me to come back. I had another job offer during that time that I passed up on as a result. Then on January 20, they informed me that "my position was eliminated due to a reduced budget" after record breaking profits. And so they threw me out like trash. I'm left with PTSD, daily pain, and a rigid spine full of titanium that never needed to happen. And they f*****g fired me, which we are all absolutely certain was not retaliation in any way shape or form. So. That's my honest review. Blessedly I start my new job on 4/10 so I won't have too much of a gap in my pay schedule to make me homeless. F**k everything that entire f*****g company lets slip out their lips.

The weather forecasting company I worked at a while back didn’t actually forecast. They just copy/pasted products from the National Weather Service and slapped their logo on it.

The filtered water dispenser in the cafeteria produced floaty chunks of goodness for too long a time. I had to drink bottled water.

If you have an Apple credit card, your personal info is not safe. I watched managers save customers info into their personal phones to connect with them on socials if their income was over a certain amount. If you were rude to customer service, your personal info was blasted into a group chat where other managers would look you up on social media and make fun of you. And this took place at VERY high levels of management, like operations manager level.

A big gym in the north east of the USA used to be a local favorite until they made big moves and went public It used to be run by cool people who loved fitness and they hired people from big corporations like the oil industry to run certain parts for going public Everything went to s**t. First internally and then soon after a few years I think the company was sold into a lesser thing that it originally was
