Members Kellanium Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTRE5BF0N320091216 Listed as the worst place to work was Gibson Guitar, followed by United Airlines, Spherion, AutoZone and Rain Bird. Guess they treat their employees almost as seriously as they treat their QA! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members stratocaster202 Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 I said this in the last thread about glass door gibson has the most reviews of any musical company on that site, it has more than Citibank. In a few random searches, deloitte and touche is the only place I have seen on there with more reviews than gibson, I can't help be feel there's something fishy about that place.

Members eellox Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Not sure I believe that worst place to work list, because the company I work for should be ranked at least 1st, 2nd or 3rd worst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Carbohydrates Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why do you think companies are outsourcing? Nobody in the US wants to work on a {censored}ing assembly line. Well if you read the comments on Glassdoor, that really has nothing to do with why Gibson employees are unhappy, though I suppose yours is a fair point as a general remark. Regarding the quantity of reviews on the site, I imagine the URL got circulated throughout the office or somesuch. And there is the odd positive review in there, though, incidentally, those are the ones that read the most suspiciously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dimmypage Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 a place with completely anonymous "reviews" that requires no proof of employment whatsoever ... and is a subject many like to link/point to ... is fishy?no way ... it's on the internet, it MUST be true.despite the fact that most americans are spoiled, uneducated morons. awesome, isn't it? Interesting point? My town has one of the highest levels of education per capita in the country and a whopping 12% unemployment:facepalm: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimwratt Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Interesting point? My town has one of the highest levels of education per capita in the country and a whopping 12% unemployment:facepalm: Haha, truth. College grads are particularly hard hit as are phd's. Truth is, this country has very little employment options for people who don't have vocational degrees (otherwise known as "professional degrees"). That more than anything discourages a healthy value of education. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SeanJovi Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Gibson's always seemed to me like the Empire from Star Wars. Lord knows they already invaded Endor and illegally chopped down all the trees. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dangordan Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Why do you think companies are outsourcing? Nobody in the US wants to work on a {censored}ing assembly line. The outsourcing started a long time ago with GREED as the ONLY motive. There are millions of displaced US workers who will work on a {censored}ing assembly line in a heartbeat to put food on the table just like they did since the start of the industrial revolution.

Members Busk Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 Management must be a real bunch of losers for a guitar company to be one of the worst places to work. I hear working at Carvin is a pretty awesome job. Of course, SD is a pretty nice place to live too: nice weather, beach, Mexico, not super expensive for CA, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members aenemated Posted December 17, 2009 Members Share Posted December 17, 2009 or the source for the story is from an anonymous internet site. might as well source 4chan for an article about ethics. jesus, people are suckers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
