Companies no longer believe in spending the money to actually train workers. The corporate person now believes that people should be able to function at top performance in their roles like computers right out of the box…

Well I would cheer up, my company loves anyone with Big 4 experience, anytime the company that audits us releases someone my company is chopping at the bit to hire them.

All of us with 10 plus years experience, MBA’s, CPA’s we all just sit around and wait for the next round of terminations, as they move towards a company whose sole purpose is to have a corporate accounting staff with audit experience regardless of the fact if they can do the day to day work to support our business units.

They “Do What They Say”.

Employee relationship is a one day commitment. They can be happy with you one day and the next day you worth nothing to them

I was offered a job by an online gambling company not too long ago. The HR lady gave me the offer letter and said “You know I’m going to sue your boss for harassment soon?”.

The place was a cess pool and I decided I’d keep looking (and still am looking).

I got laid off last August after working for 7 years. I was prommised that my job was secure when I accepted the promotion. It was secure until someone who is friends with my old employers Senior VP needed a job. So they gave him mine and laid me off instead. I should have lost an 11 million dollar account, then I would still be working.
