17. Worked there for 22 years

I worked here for 22 years. Well actually in MN it was Norwest when I started but after the merger things slowly started going down hill. While Dick Kovocevich was the head guy there things were still pretty good. Once the Wacovia merger happened things started getting really bad. Too much of their culture started to permeate the company. On a lot of fronts. From their IT perspectives to customer care. It went to shit. In a hurry.

One day I decided I could no longer work there and feel good about myself. I put in my two weeks and left uncerimoniously. After 22 years, my boss simply said make sure to turn in your security badge and laptop. That was it. I knew and worked with these people for over two decades and not even a card. I can remember having massive parties for people after leaving when they were longtimers. I didn't expect or want a party. Just maybe a conversation. Someone saying "Hey so long it was nice working with you". Nope. Nothing. It was so dysfunctional on so many levels top to bottom, so cut throat, and everything was a frantic attempt to cover the company's ass that there was no room for personal relationships. It was just sad.
