Or here's my favorite: let someone go through the entire interview process at subcompany (Shipt) only to have your former, embittered, manager (Fuck you, Dave) at the parent company (Target) torpedo your offer.

Don't work for Minnesota companies, kids. Optum, CHR, Target, etc, they all suck with shite culture, bad pay, and poor career prospects.

Glad you named and shamed. Should be more of that around here. Too many toxic environments fly under the radar because people aren’t willing to speak up.

+1 to this. Name and shame.

The onus is on the companies to fire their management, not on engineers to navigate whatever bureaucracy they put in place.

Target hires the cheapest bidders for their IT work. I stopped ever doing service for them because they'd send techs on site with little to no docs, and with hours of wait time to resolve basic issues on the phone. The inefficiency of that company is baffling.
