Dislikes

Everything! The micromanagement, poor treatment of employees, toxic clients, toxic policies, no scope for growth. Was told can work from home 3 days a week but forced to come to office. Laid off just because the client didn't like the way we work. Why hire in the first place if you only want to fire in 6 months?
