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? Have any questions, comments, or stories you'd like to share with us?
