Share some employment horror stories.
I've heard of a situation where a person got hired for a job. On their first day, they found out the company was in serious financial trouble. There were unpaid bills everywhere, and within a month, the company went bankrupt and the new employee was left jobless without even getting their first paycheck. It was a nightmare as they had given up other job offers to join this one.
There was this case where an employee was constantly harassed by a coworker. The management didn't take it seriously when the victim reported it. Instead, they made the victim feel like they were overreacting. This created a very hostile work environment for the employee, who eventually had to quit the job to escape the situation.
