I wish I had paid attention to the warnings. I only wanted to hear the good things and that was a mistake.
And that is the theme at Badger and Winters. Nothing is as good as it sounds:
- Abuse disguised as "family"
- Misogyny disguised as feminism
- Tokenism disguised as diversity and inclusion
- Control disguised as leadership
- Traditional, outdated thinking disguised by slides that say "digital" or "social"
- Racism disguised as "hispanic capabilities"
- Berating disguised as discussion
- The hollow pleading for forgiveness by an abuser disguised as affection
- Empty words disguised as empathy
- Chao disguised as scrappy
- Mediocre work disguised as good (through no fault of the employees - all of their great thinking gets steamrolled by the owner's bad ideas)
