More fun than a stick in the eye.
I used to work at IKEA and jesus h christ it's terrible. Sure the benefits are good (because socialist utopia) and there's free coffee but the customers are all entitled assholes and the employees (except for the very small number of cool people) were dead-eyed suburbanites who drank the kool aid because their lives were so vacuous and banal that "a better every day life for the many people" sounded like some higher loving purpose.

The brainwashing was great too. There was an awesome training about Global Responsibility or something that we all had to go through where they showed us all these videos about the different places around the world that the stuff is made. When they get to the children in the textile factories in Bangladesh we're all like "whoa whoa wait a sec child labor???" but they're all "well yeah, technically, but we make them go to school for half the day, and the money they make really helps out their families." War Is Peace, Freedom Is Slavery, Ignorance Is Strength, Child Labor Is Economic Opportunity.

i guess what i'm saying here is that IKEA hates you, too, OP.
