PSYCHO BOSS PLANTS VOICE RECORDERS IN OFFICE THAT NOTIFIES HIM WHEN SOMEONE SAYS HIS NAME

Share your WORST UNCENSORED experiences working at a SME.

I will start first. I worked at a SME that had secret voice recorders implanted in the office. He had some voice recognition program whenever the staff mentioned the boss’s name, he gets notified.

He admitted to doing this to a current working staff after firing a few staff members.

Boss is also very stingy and doesn’t pay for OT. Even gave false promises to poach people to join the company, only for them to leave a few months later after they found out.

Thank god I’m out of there LOL

Netizens’ comments

1. Ratio of full time staff (including upper management which is just the boss’s family and friends) to interns is 4:6.
   Not even sure which company you’re supposed to be under, can just pull you to man booth sell their other stuff when that’s not even your main job or what you were trained for.
   Talked about that one intern many years ago that did very well then expects every single intern to be like that. Boss has anger management issues too. Actually a messed up place.
2. The startup was so new that the computers had not arrived so we were told under direct instruction from boss to use our personal laptops. After being unceremoniously fired, colleague got issued a threatening letter saying they did a cybersecurity hazard by using personal computers despite there being work computers. (There were no company computers). Also threatened to report ex colleague to their part time workplace.
3. Not very bad but i hold a deep grudge.
4. Need to work on Saturday every other week. Phone rang, person asked for manager, i said he’s not in for this saturday, then immediately ask for lady boss, so i transfer the call to her. Apparently the person need to ask things on my department, this person got her name from invoice because she signed every invoice. She called me after the call then chewed me for 15 mins just because i transferred a call that’s mentioned her name.
   I hope she’s ridden with diseases.
5. Complain when people take even 1 minute longer than 1 hour lunch break, the boss literally turns on a timer from the moment you leave the office
6. Usually in a SME, the boss will hire his/her friends.
   In my previous company, When my boss friends take unpaid leave or urgent leave, it will always be approved.
   When I take my annual leave, it will always be declined. 99% of the time. The reason is lame as hell. (Due to operational needs.) KNS.
