"[A] sh!t place to work, no doubt. Good thing they showed their true colours so quickly so you could dodge that bullet.""I got a job offer just yesterday that they tried to give me less than we discussed in the initial interview (10 f--ing thousand less)," shared whowouldsaythis. "After going thru a couple more, they tried to pull this on me. I need the job tbh, but I held my ground and actually got mad on the call. Today I met them and signed a job offer.
