Office Max!

Going from contract to perm is one way to find out about issues in an office before you take a job.

A little over a year ago, I took my first office job since ’93. (I hated that one. Small office, psychopathic boss, and working for a company whose ethics were “questionable”. Never regretted tendering my resignation there.) This new job is in a professional, yet casual, environment. They are very strict with hiring requirements, only taking people with 5-years management experience, or having graduated in the top 5% of your curriculum’s class. So you can imagine my dismay to find that, despite everyone here being fairly well educated, academically or real world experience, that the same sort of juvenile behavior I have come to expect from retail employees is present in this environment.
