Peloton

Great discount on a bike, nice hardware to do the job, nice offices with free snacks, mostly nice people, and interesting work.

I was so pumped after onboarding. I met so many interesting people, and it sounded so good.

Then, I joined my team with a leader who made it very clear that they didn't want me working there because I was "competition for him."

My job became harassment, belittling, gaslighting, and anger. I reported it, but no one cared, and nothing improved.

I don't sleep well now. I can't eat. It's really messed me up, and all I've done is "do my job well."

Seems like a great place, but it wasn't for me.

Don't hire people for X and then stick them with Y. Avoid hiring someone described as a novice abuser with just enough experience to have an opinion, but not enough to see the whole picture.
