15. They are all a bunch of liars
The only good thing here is that I never have to see or talk to any of them again.

The HR lady sat there and lied to me for half an hour this week.

My manager invited me to a pizza lunch today.

My supervisor left without saying goodbye and didn't return my phone calls.

I have been treated like human garbage by these people. Why? Because thats how people act when they are controlled by corporations, which are in turn controlled by the love of money.
