Best Glassdoor Post

Nothing but blue skies from now on...…..
Germantown hunkers down for the imminent deer hunting season hiatus. Even the man-at-the-top goes hunting for that meat on four legs. Me and my boys just like the barley pop and the loud noises our guns make.
Man, this is the best.

 

The salient bit is:


“You will be working for a management team that spends 60+ hours per week at the office, plus logs a few extra hours from home throughout the evening, and expects similar commitment from you. What’s hard to understand is why their career is so much more important than their family life; what is crystal clear is that their career is much more important than your family life. “


It is also more important than your safety at work.

 

Do hunting accidents ever happen?

 

And yet another fake review on Glassdoor. Sounds like it was written by marketing or an ad agency.

Maybe i am wrong. Maybe things have improved in the 1.X years since i left. My friends who remain at GT (fewer and fewer!!) tell me things are about the same. Until there are significant changes to those who occupy the NW corner at Grant Drive, it will be status quo.

 

True dat, Bertram.

Hey, since you wrote this, things have improved even more!! Leading Urge Company has moved into the coveted Featured Review position. And to think, it was only on the job for a few days before the big promotion. Not a surprise. I'd give it even odds that whoever at Allshitty has the corporate account, identifies these featured reviews, gives the Allshitty response, etc probably either wrote or contracted out this review to the marketing firm.

And then the latest review boasts of how the place is on the upswing....and it comes from GT! My initial thought, since it's 5 stars, is that it must be phony bologna. But when I look closely, and read between the lines, I kind of wonder if it isn't a real post. My thinking? The line: "Also, coworkers who have been here for a while have a bad taste in mouth, that gets old." How I read this is that all the new people who are still in that honeymoon phase are happy, but everyone else who's been there awhile knows what a cluster that place is. The newbie hasn't figured out that the HR department at GT has a motto: Lather, Rinse, Rehire. After the 2017/18 mass exodus, a substantial percentage of the workforce had to be replaced, and the reality of how bad things are there just hasn't set in. Yet.

If someone could get the "Upswing" author a message: please let us all know in six months from now, after you've had a chance to taste reality, just how much that upswing was real and how much was an illusion. Don't be embarrassed, many past employees fell for it too. And there are a LOT of past employees.

 

Well you may be right that it is a new person. After you have worked a couple of years in this shit hole you will indeed be one of the " coworkers who have been here for a while have a bad taste in mouth." You will also be quite tired of taking it dry every time the boss screws up and needs someone to blame.

 

Yep, spot on.
People who have taken it so many times generally just get tired of the fucking theatrics. And with, what, 60-70% turnover in 2017-18 you can bet there are a lot of new people drinking the initial Kool-Aid. And that onboarding video they see, well, that is Oscar level material right there. Of course they aren't looking you in the eye.
So, give it time. Assholes like Little Stevie and the Crew will take time to work their magic. GT is happy about the extra vacation and they are injecting a bit more green into the plebes' lives. Time is all it takes as the turds float to the top.
