Learning “how the sausage is made” is one of those classic parts of growing up and getting a job that still even applies if we take it literally. Generally, your workplace will frown on you giving out “secrets” that make them look bad, but if you don’t work there anymore (and any NDA’s have expired) then it’s fair game.
Someone asked people to detail some company secrets from their previous workplaces and netizens rose to the challenge. So get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments section down below.

99% of Black Friday deals are not in fact Black Friday deals. They are the same price they’ve been or higher. You are RARELY actually getting a deal

I still work there. You ever get a medical bill because you spoke to the doctor about a new problem during your annual exam. Call that office and ask for a coding review. You as the the patient has to say those words. Don’t just ask why you got billed. Demand a coding review.

HR is not your ally at all. always save and time stamp everything you send in an email to everyone in case you get fired and need an attorney.

911 dispatcher- we’re dispatching people within 30 seconds from when we answer the call. Either electronically or via radio while we listen to you. Help is coming but we have to ask you those questions for your safety and the safety of the people we’re sending. But I can’t make them go faster unless you tell me a reason. I can’t up the call priority without a reason.

When these temp agencies say they can’t go past $22-$24/hour, just know the client is paying invoices @ $40-$50 an hour.

Most companies that put job openings on Indeed aren’t really hiring, they just want your information to sell it.

Worked in HR/recruitment for 7 years. Those ‘employee surveys’ corporate jobs send out and claim your answers will be anonymous….they’re absolutely not anonymous.

I used to work for an eye doctor in Lasik surgery is literally so dangerous because of the fact that it TERRIBLE EFFECTS on mental health if something goes wrong and the possibilities are HIGH. I would never recommend it to anyone✨
