10 things I learned working here
Pros
The view from the office was really nice.
Cons
1. Don’t outshine the master. 2. The ladder becomes a step stool the minute you set an appropriate boundary. 3. Bullies don’t just exist in high school.

Especially nepotism. 5. If they can’t find a bad story about you, they’ll create one. 6. Bosses that use anger as a motivator are a joke. Anger is just fear expressed in a juvenile way. 7. There’s no need to fear anyone. Not like they can jump through the screen and punch you. BUT they can get you fired by convoluting lies. 8. Senior managers who repeatedly attack your confidence and self esteem are quite aware of your potential, and they fear the day you become aware of it too. 9. Workplace bullies don’t “discover” your mistakes, they hunt for them. You cannot win with this. 10. DO NOT GIVE 2 WEEKS NOTICE. And if they don’t know what FMLA is, RUN. E
