Toxic Work Environment - Anonymous employee Thermon Manufacturing Employee Review

Below are four notable highlights from my work log during my career at Thermon: Aug 2015: In an open meeting, a director said, "Two to the third power equals seven." After writing out the long form of the math, the same director refused to acknowledge the fallacy -- it was reminiscent of the Ministry of Truth in the book "1984". Oct 2016: At the tail end of an 84-hour work week, my supervisor walks into my office, closes the door, and tells me "When you get things done, it makes the department look bad." Dec 2016: After accumulating 170 hours of paid time off (PTO), I was denied vacation at Christmas because it would look bad. On Jan 1, I could only carry over 40 hours and lost the remaining 110. Jun 2017: After getting June vacation approved in Feb 2017, was asked if I could "adjust" my PTO the night before my departure or begin work on low-priority issues while on vacation. When I refused, management began recruiting for my position the next day. I took this job when the unemployment rate was 7.8%. With zero opportunity for advancement, there's really no reason to work there when the unemployment rate is hovering around 4.2%. Learn from my mistakes. Thermon Inc is a toxic place to work and should be avoided -- unless you're in the inner circle of nepotism.
