As for point 5, report them to whom? It would be my word against theirs, and I have no proof of their behavior since I was not able to record their conversations. Most of the people there know what they are like because most of the people there support the concept of violence against unpopular minorities, the government, and anybody else they don't like. In short, by not supporting bigoted violence, I was the odd man out there; they were the norm. Sure, I could report that to... somebody... I guess... but given the continued existence of groups like the KKK with an obvious mission, a nuthouse like this one full of honorary Klan members is not going to draw any attention from anyone in power.
I wonder what kind of attempt they actually made to get rid of the guy. "Bloodthirsty sociopath" is a strong term. I wonder what he actually did to be described that strongly.

For point 5, I was thinking the police until I read the second paragraph. I guess the way to fly in that situation is "low and under the radar".

Also, frankly the world could do without these kinds of bosses. If everyone wants you dead, maybe you need to look in the mirror lol
Revenge fantasies within ones mind may be normal but voicing them seems to be something else. Not sure.

Those bosses make people suffer unjustly. Those people who should look in the mirror could care less. That's part of the reason they're psychopaths/sociopaths.

Because the board members at both of these companies made their party memberships known to the workforce, right?


If you really want a surprise, look up which candidates and PACs the companies gave to.

You know you work for a terrible employer when...

a meeting is called on election day to tell you how to vote. Same company as the unflushable log meeting.

...the boss tells an employee he's trying to get to quit: I'm going to keep picking on you until I straighten you out right in front of co-workers.

I feel that your unwarranted sense of entitlement is more strongly represented here than your employer's terribleness. What I mean by that, is, free food is not an expectation that an employee should have for an employer. It's a nice added benefit, but it doesn't make the employer terrible.

When they wait until your off-time to blow up your phone for their own stupid mismanagement of employees. And then don't want to offer incentives for the inconvenience of working off your regular schedule.
