Nope, it’s the “government”.

Google is a shit place to work. Fake list.
Agreed. However, the list is based on turnover (how long people stay with the company), pay and benefits.
The Google and Facebook campuses have been compared to work camps, which is why they have restaurants and gyms and sleeping areas. They don't want their employees to leave, and managers will actually tell you that commuting to go home is "not an efficient use of your time." In other words, the time you spend driving home could have been spent working. It's almost like a cult, which is what inspired the movie "The Circle."

And they'll only hire whites when forced to.
It's better to flip burgers at IN-N-OUT and bag groceries at Trader Joes than work at any bank, hospital or tech company?
Ugh, okay? This is America.™

I honestly wish baggers were still a thing. I did that for two years during highschool, and loved it. I did that, and when it slowed up a bit I did cart retrieval, and I was damn good at both. I know it’s not saying much, but I made all the niggers I worked with look like the lazy inefficient impediments they were. I loved making the shoppers smile with jokes, and compliments as I bagged their groceries, and always actually felt like I was brightening peoples days.
I probably shouldn’t say this because I’ll age myself, but this was back when you actually had to ask paper or plastic. God damn, has the world changed in so many ways since then.

> Seems like the only people making money WORKING in a bank are the ones making commission on loans and even then it's not a whole lot compared to other sales industries.
To say nothing of the pressure to perform. Somehow you're expected to close a dozen loans a week, yet you're given absolutely no tools for getting people through the door. You're not allowed to advertise on your own or given a budget to do so, and you're not allowed to solicit customers outside of the bank walls. For compliance reasons, only the bank could publish ads because language banks can use is regulated.
"Okay, so how am I supposed get people in here?" I interviewed for the job once and I asked these questions. They didn't have any answers for me, but they were adamant that they were going to ride my ass regardless. I had to sit there and wait for someone to tell me they wanted a loan, or make small talk and ask them if they needed a loan while they wait in line, or call branch customers and ask the same over the phone.
That's it. That's all the tools they were willing to give me, and any week could be my last week if I didn't make their numbers. I turned them down, obviously. About two weeks later they were calling me back and almost begging me to take the job. Bank *branches* are some of the most bullshit places to work. Now, the administrative offices are where the real money is made. Those jobs are absolutely worth pursuing.

I bet it's like this for most of these companies.
My landlord is rated as one of the best places to work in Canada, but I know for a fact that the front line staff (building supers and maintenance) are both treated, and paid, like garbage.
When they say "best place to work", they mean for management.

I know someone who was super high up with BOA for a couple of decades. She traveled the country auditing them all. After she left them fro greener pastures, I asked her why she left, and she said because it was awful pay for what she was expected to do. At first I scoffed cause I thought for sure she was making at least six figures by her last five years. NOPE, the highest she ever got up to was 79k a year after twenty years, and she was expected to travel almost the entire year. This was t between 2005-2015 or so. At least back then for where she lived it was a “livable wage”, but from my understanding from her keeping in contact with former coworkers, it’s about the same pay today. YIKES!
Edit: Oh yeah, I forgot to add that you’re directly responsible for finding theft and firing employees so you always have a target on your back. Funny enough, she said she only had to fire one white person over her career, but shitskins got caught and canned regularly. Surprise surprise.
