Working in dt St Paul sucked, had to step around sleeping drugged out homeless people in the skyways, lots of panhandlers asking for money , had some younger homeless people harass me and try to start fights lol
parking /driving your own car to work was costly $. Parking used to be covered by company during covid but then they reversed that and made employees pay to park themselves which was 5-15 dollars a day depending on if you wanted indoor or outdoor /how far you were willing to walk
I worked with a 90 percent female staff , most of whom were 50-70 yrs old and I to constantly deal with hs style drama and bickering between some of the women and mediate childish fights. They constantly accused each other of being lazy when most of all of them were lazy and entitled cause they all had worked together in the same dpt for 10 plus yrs and felt entitled to do whatever they wanted
The job progressively became more about team building daily meetings which were pointless and a waste of time and less about getting our work done first and efficiently . So much wasted time and talking about what you did and how you felt then just working and doing the job well.
Everyone arguing about who should be doing what rather than everyone keeping defined roles based their skills and efficiency
I felt hourly pay was intentionally low/not competitive with market rates because of the promise of the company funded pension if you stayed 3 plus yrs there or more
