On This Week's Feedback Friday, We Discuss:
- You worked at a company with a problematic culture focused on self-help teachings and inappropriate therapy sessions led by an unqualified manager. How'd that turn out?
- You're working at a door-to-door sales company where underperforming employees face unusual (and likely illegal) consequences. Will you be able to stomach the challenges that await you?
- Your bad boss manipulated and mistreated you, hoping you'd fail when you left for a new job. But what happened when the tables were turned?
- As a young journalist, you dealt with an alcoholic, sexually harassing boss at a small-town newspaper. How far did things have to go before karma took the wheel?
- You're a young employee at a luxury car garage, where the eccentric owner's behavior is becoming increasingly erratic. Will a chance encounter with a client change the course of your career?
- Your boss denied you time off to visit a dying loved one, forcing you to choose between work and family. How will this decision impact you in the long run?
- Years ago, your boss made your work life miserable. Now, he's interviewing for a job at your thriving company. What will you do?
