I have a friend who works in the R* office in Massachusetts. The whole fucking company sounds like an abject nightmare to work for. Between the Stasi-esque HR lady that wanders around making notes of who is at their desks, to the legions of indoctrinated kool-aid drinkers, onto the just bizarre behind the scenes decisions and poor management.

He's been dreading this announcement for a while now, and it may just be the one thing that will rip the scales off the otherwise creepily loyal workers.

Corporate America can absolutely be a cult. I've jumped around a fair bit, but you can always tell who the lifers are. Think the company is their savior, love the CEO even though they only met them once, go to all the functions, it's sad to me. Most of those lifers were making much less than me because I jumped around to bump my salary, they are constantly passed over for promotions because "now just isn't the time", and usually they ignore their home life and never take PTO.

Not just corporate America, corporations around the world have it.
