You're just a number and not a human being

Business Outlook

Pros

Free lunch once a month

Cons

Management do not listen or respect your advice You're sold a work life balance, but when you start they put the handcuffs on and you are very rarely allowed to work from home. Management take no accountability and abuse the work/life balance system. Very little structure or direction Management seem very incompetent when it comes to technology and the digital market. No room or opportunity for learning and growth They will overwork you and underpay you

I have been sitting on my couch for hours after reading this trying to find these handcuffs you are talking about. I thought about going into the office today, because it’s Taco Tuesday and my office gets a little silly with the shop down the way, but it was really cold outside this morning so I’m sat here working instead. No one is “just a number” here. Do you know how hard it would be to message anyone on Slack if I had to look up numbers instead of names? What a nightmare that would be. Anyway, I sure hope it’s warmer out tomorrow, my office is getting together for drinks after work, and the company is paying! How cool is that?
