How do I warn my friend not to take a bad job
« on: June 27, 2018, 10:11:29 pm »

I escaped from an awful job, where I was told to do very stupid stuff that ended up getting some people fired and arrested, but there's still very bad stuff going on there. Thankfully, I left with a glowing review, because I turned in some of the jerks responsible, but there are tons more.

My friend needs a job and is looking at this place, because he was recently let go and put in over 300 applications. There is a reason I left because people have actually gone to jail working there with tons of turnover. All the decent people there do tons of CYA and document to make sure they don't get indicted when it eventually falls for breaking basically every regulation.

I am trying to find him any other job and have sent him links with detailed information for other positions like HR contact info. etc. I'm not showing him bad jobs either, cause I would take any one of them. I don't want him taken in by the same lie I was. I wasn't sleeping, developed health problems and it pretty much messed up my life. There are other jobs and I'll get him one that won't give him 12 ulcers and an arrest. This one was too good to be true for a reason; it was.

How do I get this across to him?

Tell him a full time job at McDonalds while he sorts stuff out beats being asked to do something illegal for a paycheck and taking the fall for it.
