Company success is built on the backs of the bruised - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei AutoEurope: Mitarbeiterbewertung

The denigration. Never has at-will employment been used more as a scare tactic. If you're a hard worker, you'll be forced to compensate for an idiot that was placed in your department out of nepotism. Can't handle the workload? You're out and the idiot stays. Stay there long enough and earn some golden handcuffs and watch bonuses get dangled in front of you, if you only stay a little longer.
