This is the era of “the last person at Terumo turns off the lights.” Bring in colleagues from Terumo, and you get a $1,500 bonus—plus you suddenly have a “friend at work.” A prime example is Mallory Vogel, who seems more focused on her job title and career-building “tools” than actually contributing to Hologic device development. She even uses her dog, Kevin, as part of her opinion-making—calling it a great team.
If you get promoted, it usually means you’ve mastered the art of brown-nosing—just like actors in Hollywood who landed top roles during the Harvey Weinstein era. Severance packages? They’re just hush money—meant to offset lost stock options and secure your silence with a signature. But honestly, I don’t care anymore—that chapter is closed.
Anyone over 50 should be cautious. You’ll be assigned to less important projects, and once those wrap up, so does your time at the company.
It’s all one big Amway-style pony ride: “We’re a family...,” “We’re all friends...” Sure—until you're no longer useful.
