Cons

This is the place where brown-nosing will get you to the top. I have seen people getting promoted five times in a year. I wonder how many holes they filled to go up the ladder that fast?

I also saw all of their lackeys getting promoted multiple times in a year. One person is a legit clown. He juggles clown balls during meetings, pretends to take notes, and then proceeds to ask his subordinates for their opinion because the only notes they took during the meeting was drawing themselves juggling clown balls. This is their day-to-day. This person did not do anything for three years and was promoted because he knew one of the biggest brown-nosers at the top of the corporate chain. I witnessed this in real-time and I couldn't believe it. I wonder if anyone knows who this is...

It is not what you know. It is who you know.

Imagine "The Human Centipede." That is Checkr. The difference is that you have people going at it from multiple angles simultaneously.

When you give kids and their fellow brown-nosers power, you get a Kool-Aid spinning machine.

Advice to Management

I need you to take a tissue, clean your nose, clean your bottom, walk out of the bathroom, sit on a bench, and think about how useless you really are. Afterwards, you should quit and make everyone happy.
