Letter to QuintZine from G.A.B.:
I cannot begin to tell you how valuable your piece
on discovering the corporate culture of a potential
employer is to me. [Editor's note:
See the article here.]
Three years ago, I innocently left a terrific senior staff
position due to heavy recruiting efforts and promises.
(I was at the top of my game with personal and career
success.) To make a long story short, 15 months later
I was let go in no uncertain terms. It took me some
time to realize that the corporate culture was one
that was so toxic that it was impossible for me to
adapt. Interestingly, my former boss continued to
bad-mouth me for close to two years. Funny what some
individuals will do to justify their actions.
The good news is I returned to school and will
finish this April. Although it is never easy to
explain why you were fired, your article has
given me a professional, unemotional way to
explain the situation.
Thanks so much.
G.A.B.
