Please read the thread, it's very likely that op is lying Edit: Seeing the reaction to my comment, I should clarify that I don't defend these companies by saying that. Also, even if they call themselves whistleblower, as of now, absolutely no documents where shared with watchdogs group, so no whistleblowing has been really done. If you are feed up with working for an evil company, please contact some watchdog group and try to work with them to put proof of the evil action in the eyes of the public. Edward Snowden didn't just said what was happening, he shared confidential documents with the public. By just saying things you are either doing a disservice to the cause, or worse, you are actively trying to discredit these type of leak. To be clear, I'm not saying that whistleblowing is useless or easy. It take real courage to risk it all to denounce abuse, crime and unjust or unfair situation. So that why I don't like when someone is pretending to be courageous or not putting its money where its mouth is. Sorry for the broken English, not my native language, I hope you get my point.
Might be the case, but I expect some things to be true, like desperation score and profit squeezing. I met call centre managers that were trying to optimise how little should workers spend without the call in progress, that might sound reasonable but they tried to ‘improve’ from less than 10s between calls already
I have edited my comment to better express my position, I think we are on the same page. If you still disagree, please feel free to answer this comment. I'm interested in you opinion and perspective, so that I can grow.
