Let me clarify: the business didn’t need the employee to be there, it needed the employee to be pliable.

Also, in this case: the business = the boss

Easily influenced, persuaded, or controlled.
“replaced the complainer with a more pliable subordinate.”

It needed the employee to bend to its arbitrary will. Company was on a power trip.

Instead of physical violence, leave a Google review and spill beans.

I had a prior employer who got some of those well deserved negative reviews, from employees. Google swears they can’t pay to take them down, but the ToS is so slanted towards their customer (the business paying AdSense fees) it’s exactly that just with more steps.

Once they nuked the bad reviews, a manager came around for a ‘friendly chat’ with individuals about how great it’d be for them to use their personal login and write leave a review - wink wink.

Where do I spill the beans? Is their desk drawers an acceptable place?

I think you should eat the beans then shit in their desk drawers. Never stop the fiber grind!

My God, not a single negative review at the time of writing this. Perhaps we should rethink office politics combatative hierarchical structures.

Right, and you add an /s because you’re mocking them with sarcasm.
