Bad politics
It began as fun, hard-work-fun, but fun. Long hours, new tech to learn and deploy, tools to use, the works.
Then things changed. ???Thank you??? became a rare commodity, people got fired for saying that they???d call back after they???d had supper (Ya, we???re funny that way. We like to rest after 12 hours), and some backstabbing??? bad???
Furthermore, you know it's a bad environment when your team lead (We called him Casper, as we rarely saw him, like the ghost
) says one thing to the staff and a totally different thing to his boss, and both stories are false.
After a while of these bad vibes, people started leaving left and right, and so did I. Those who stayed behind reported of massive dismissals at the management layer (our ghost team lead, IT VP and HR VP for not being pro-active about the situation). The company???s reputation suffered for a long time before it started to get somewhat better. Head-hunters would, for a long time, stay away from them. Imagine??? vultures ignoring the dead meat!
A friend of mine got a job at management level and hired me shortly thereafter. I never looked back.
