Just the other day, the raise I was promised was canceled. I won't even mention the mobbing part. I am talking about an institution where insults and threats fly around. I wish I didn't have to make this post about a place I put effort into. He just published an apology message a moment ago. He refers to the thing he threw at my face as a branch.'
