Business Week: A Hellhole?

By

BusinessWeek Magazine is apparently a big mess. Media gossip website Gawker describes it as a “hellhole” riven by “internal backstabbing, sniping, and intra-office gossip wars.”

      is it just me or has it become even more anti-business and populist than usual? I was given a subscription and I think I need to cancel it since its biased reporting pisses me off so much every time I pick it up….

      My dad was a veteran of the Intra-office Gossip Wars. Took some shrapnel at the Battle of Unsubstantiated Rumors and was invalided home. Still tells stories about cowering in the trenches as emails were flying back and forth.

      AB deserves a sandwich for reminding us all of the courage it truly takes to step into the office each day. Whether it be an inter-office envelope to the head or a malicious individual with copious amounts of documents to scan, we should be proud of the sacrifices we make to ensure the desks of the future are passed down to equally ambitious young men and women.
      Veni, vidi, vici. Le chaim.

      @ Headless
      Business week is written for the “stuck in the Dr’s waiting room” set. You think its easy explaining complex business sh!t to the people who’ve only picked up the mag because they ran out of US Weekly back-issues?

      “a hellhole riven by internal backstabbing, sniping, and intra-office gossip wars”
      … Sounds suspiciously like the UBS technology department.
