Popular content creator Devin Raimo went viral after she revealed why she quit her first corporate job. In a viral TikTok video, the netizen spilled the tea on how terrible working at her first corporate job was. Devin disclosed that she worked under some of the most insane conditions, including letting her colleagues know when she wanted to have a bath. Here are the details.
The Easy Stages Of Devin’s Job
In the clip, Devin explained she landed the job soon after leaving college. According to her, the job seemed great initially, even though she knew she would work late hours. With encouragement from others on how manageable it was, Devin worked diligently until about 10 pm and saw it as okay.
Things Became Worse
However, it was only a matter of time before things worsened at her job. Every day at 2 am, there was a team check-in meeting, with work assigned to the employees, which was to be done immediately after the check-in meeting.
Devin And Her Colleagues Shared Intimate Details
The new tasks meant that employees would not get any sleep after the meeting.
Consequently, it became too weird for employees as they had to inform colleagues when they were taking a bath.
Why Was The Information Necessary?
According to Devin, the information was to ensure workers knew their colleague was only taking a bath and not accidentally sleeping. Reflecting on how weird it was, Devin rhetorically asked her followers:
“Why are we all telling each other when we are showering?”
Another Strange Instance
Next, the content creator recalled another strange instance. According to Devin, at about 1 am one morning, her colleague Greg went to shower but didn’t inform enough people.
Greg’s Absence Worried His Co-Workers
Devin said it caused so much worry that other co-workers were about to send a SWAT team to Greg’s house because they couldn’t find him when he was just in the shower.
The Final Straw
While the hectic tempo was as bad as it could get, it wasn’t the final straw that broke the camel’s back. For Devin, what truly caused her to quit was what happened with the company on her birthday.
Devin Informed Her Office Of Her Absence
According to her, she had told the company months before that she would be absent on that day, as she had to attend her sister’s wedding. Sadly, the company wasn’t pleased with it, but Devin was eventually permitted to be absent.
Devin Was Bombarded With Calls And Texts
As it was a Sunday, Devin expected to be free from work-related calls, texts, and emails, but the opposite was the case. While sitting at her sister’s wedding, the content creator began getting many calls and messages from work.
Working On A Wedding Day?
Devin said she was stunned by the lack of understanding from her colleagues, but the next statement from a co-worker put her on edge. In her words:
“And someone was like yeah, other people on my other teams work even on their own wedding day, and I was like okay, well, then they’re like truly not okay people.”
