Boss was not so nice

Working with this company was a nightmare. There’s an apparent fear of upper management that drives a dysfunctional CYA work environment, sometimes at others expense. I experienced (middle) management abusing their power to the point of dishonest and fraudulent behaviors. I was manipulated and misled into a job where added/changing demands left me overworked and grossly underpaid. When I spoke up, I was shut down and threatened with wage theft. I kid you not. Despite hard work, dedication, and my contract stating otherwise, (middle) management had no problem threatening to pay me ZERO dollars for months of work. Of course I wasn’t going to let them get away with that. To top it off, a promise from (middle) management to talk to upper management about my concerns and get back to me “in a few days” turned into… radio silence! Unanswered emails and calls. Ghosted. Unbelievably unethical and corrupt. Incredibly unprofessional. Extremely petty given the modest sum at a big company. And not smart given the laws and systems in place at the Department of Labor to protect workers and investigate companies with this level of mismanagement. I highly recommend NOT working with this company. It’s toxic from the top down.
