Our Pet-Friendly Office Turned Into a Warzone
I've founded a company that doesn't encourage overtime shifts, pays everyone on time, and doesn't impose performance evaluations on the employees at all.
My employees are free to bring their pets to work. All of their applications for leave will be approved immediately. Heck, they have unlimited leave as well.
I originally think that my employees will like me a lot thanks to these benefits. But I never expect my company to be featured on the Internet one day. It even gets labeled as a sweatshop, much to my shock.
"Guys, I can't believe I got hired by a sweatshop company. The boss is extremely stingy who pays us low wages while pretending to be a nice guy this whole time!"
My company is then shown in the video. The narrator's voice has been edited, so I can't tell whose voice it is.
As I stare at the tranquil office scene in real-time, I find myself falling into deep thought.
Meanwhile, the video is still going on.
"Let me tell you how evil my boss is. Every other company tends to distribute gifts during the holidays that like food and luxury items. But my boss doesn't bother giving us any of the gifts. He uses the excuse that our company is a very flexible and humane company, so we don't do any gift-giving at all. As if!
"He also claims that we don't have to undergo any performance evaluation. In other words, that means our wages aren't transparent at all. Maybe he's been secretly docking our pay behind our backs this whole time!
"Being paid thousands of dollars for this job is already bad enough! To make things worse, I'm forced to listen to my boss boast about everything in the world! Do I look like I have that much time on my hands to listen to him blabber? I'm not his mom, for crying out loud!"
Everyone in the comment section doesn't hesitate to lash out at me.
"Holy shit, I can't believe such soul-sucking companies still exist! Poor you!"
"Why are you still staying in that stupid company? Hurry up and leave! If I were you, I wouldn't be able to stay there for a minute longer!"
"That's right! That boss of yours is an evil capitalist! He deserves to die!"
