Message: <blockquote data-quote="Croesus" data-source="post: 5465328" data-attributes="member: 35019">I went to work for a company that had just gotten on the list (this was about 15 years ago). While many of the folks in the company matched the write up in Fortune, far too much of the company didn't. Their HR department figured out how to spin things so they scored high in certain measures and, on their second or third try, got selected.I lasted 3 months before I quit. The final straw? When my supervisor forbade me from doing extra for customers because "if you do it once, then they'll expect it, and they'll complain when we don't do it". A year or two later an especially absurd email from the CEO was leaked to the press in which he was chewing out his employees for not being at work 12 hours a day. Not surprisingly, the company didn't make the list the next year. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" />If you're going to pay attention to the list, look for companies that are on it year after year, not the ones who rotate on and off.</blockquote>
