Worked as an intern for a few months at a company. One morning the entire office gets raided by multiple agencies (multiple parish local sheriffs, Attorney General, etc) and the owner was arrested.

All but 1-2 people quit as soon as the agencies let us out of the conference room.

Oil and gas downturns can be rough, if you've been through it you know. So you know how it is, you either get laid off or you get the privilege of taking on other people's jobs that they cut.

I've been self-employed ever since and I do very well for myself now. It definitely sucks being on the other side of it though, I had to liquidate one of my companies during the O&G downturn circa 2017. Instead of being a dick and having the managers do it and then laying off the managers, I spent a week speaking to each person individually. IMO it's the least you can do in an unfortunate situation like that


That was a brutal time. I survived layoff after layoff and was added task after task. My anxiety was through the roof and finally decided to go on meds. I finally had enough and left the industry in 2020, and it was a blessing in disguise. I still keep in touch with co-workers and it has not improved much.

Kudos to you being a leader. Lots of loyal people would just get a phone call from HR during their time off.

We had a change in leadership about a year and a half ago and I am seeing more and more senior client facing people leave or retire. I have been here almost 10 years and am about to leave myself

I think that there are a lot of managers who don't get this. You already have someone who is doing the job, why not do everything to keep them? Teams can fall apart quickly if you start being small minded about your employees

Married CEO was caught grabbing the tits of the married HR director at an away from work field trip.
—Sounds like a Patriots coach and a woman “reporter”

Do you mean actually quit or "quiet quit"? When the director tried to get everyone to start chanting "Teamwork makes the dream work!". I saw so many eyes go dead now its comical how little people care and do now.

The workplace found out about Tigerdroppings and wanted to post there rather than do work.

Worked at a growing company that was in the middle of their best year in terms of growth in both revenue and hiring. Workforce was over 95% engaged/happy. Owner got greedy and started opening up offices in other places without properly planning, and thus started overworking local staff. Eventually the owner pretty much allowed sales to run over operations and start promising customers things the company wasn't good at because their commission structure was unbalanced compared to everyone else. Everyone stayed despite this, until....

The leader of the sales team recommended to the owner to bring in a guy that everyone knew was a terrible person. Within an hour of announcing this hire, 25% of the staff put in their resignation. Within a month, over 60 people had either resigned or were already offered other jobs and about to leave. Within three months over 100 people left. The company crashed and burned within a few years.

We were informed that Ryder Logistics was taking over our transportation department and everyone would get up to $6 an hour pay cut for the same job. See ya!
