Second off, it’s funny how the company had to make “difficult” financial decisions and lay off people/cut benefits but yet they didn’t stop construction on the new multi-million dollar building and also had millions to buy up another company. As a company that is supposed to “love and value people”...you don’t exactly show that. It’s just a marketing tactic.
As nice as the Halloween celebration is, many departments choose culturally insensitive themes and this is perfectly ok with HR/Management. Want to portray “trash” that has a bunch of babies and lives on welfare? Ok! Want to dress up in a poncho with sombrero and be “lazy”? Yep, totally ok. Want to dress like cowboys and Native Americans? Don’t see a problem there! This honestly isn’t shocking, based on some of the things I’ve heard managers say to employees, including a white manager being shocked for someone telling him he couldn’t say the “n” word (at work mind you). HR doesn’t care about any of this. They will bury anything to keep their buddies in their positions.
The replies to these posts is just pathetic as well: “Sorry you feel your pay was inadequate, have a nice life” more or less. Notice how the “problem” is always with the people writing reviews? They never admit fault for anything, it’s a cult and they are just “sorry” that you couldn’t cut it. Oh! Or it is “perhaps you should talk to your manager!” Like we haven’t all already tried that. Here’s a newsflash, our managers ARE the problem 9 times out of 10. They pick who they like and don’t like and the ones they don’t like, they make their lives terrible. In my case, my manager was hostile towards those he did not like. So, no, I don’t feel comfortable bringing my problems to him. My attempts to bring those problems higher up the chain were also quickly squashed by his buddies in HR and upper management.
