Inhumane treatment, exhausted employees - Software Developer Red Tag Vacations Employee Review

organization, travel pay, flexible, and fun co-workers

travel up to two hours, part time/per diem

Salary payments were made, but that is the only positive.

The atmosphere was extremely toxic. QA team had to teach me and prepare for the project. Training was poorly organized and inconsistent. I was assigned one set of topics, which I fully learned and completed all tasks. Later, I was evaluated on completely different expectations that had never been part of the training. The QA team appeared to be preparing for termination rather than onboarding. I found out that there was very little actual work, with few projects and frequent periods when people had nothing to do. The feedback included false claims about my soft skills, such as not greeting people or not saying thank you, which never reflected my actual behavior. I escalated these concerns to the CEO. He apologized and said he would investigate, but no action was taken.
