So this is my 9-5 vent first time this year. Been working for 4 months for a company.
1. I was talking. Not too much. Not too little. Just somewhere inbetween like someone who many would call an extrovert.
They told me it's too much talking, so I shut the f*** up. Now they say I'm an outcast.
2. They called me idiots, "not really brilliant" and all kind of names.
3. I wanted to start marketing campaigns for the company. They asked for it 10's of times.
They stopped me from doing that.
How?
I started talking to people online - one of the managers agreed to let me recruit juniors onboard.
The reason for doing that? I was the only one who had an idea who we really need.
They told me I'm a fool and should stop immediately or they "will throw me the fuck out with my whole setup".
So I stopped and we got someone who isn't into marketing at all.
Now this person consumes my time and asks me 10's of questions they should have an answer to before getting the job.
4. People working there are told they can be replaced with a few clicks on local sites like craiglists (since they are juniors). When I first came to the place I was told that.
5. There is absolutely no work-life balance. If you say you can work for 18 hours, you can turn yourself into a living wreck. You will be told that's an opportunity to learn new stuff.
In reality I found I can barely assimilate any new, useful knowledge after 4 hours of learning on the same topic. I don't know what the number is but most of the people don't learn more than 6 hours a day and there must a reason for that.
6. I was answered differently to the same question. It was a question like "did we get some sales due to our actions?". I've got two responses: one day - "no", another day - "yes".
Stats on accounts showed there were over 40 telephone enquiries on local websites.
7. I asked about leads from the past. Someone sitting to me showed me G stats from the past and there were high paying leads generated by google ads. They were rejected due to lack of competence of the company.
8. There are products that were started and were stopped due to a bad idea of how this type of business works. Zero investment in marketing or sales.
9. You can't work remotely if you agreed in the beginning.
10. The manager is looking over my shoulder which is too much for me. Along with calling me all kind of bad names.
Working there just because I was going through some life devastating stuff. And this company is devastating for my mentality - just like any daily pain.
Hopefully this will be my last month.
