If you're smart enough to check Glassdoor, before accepting a position, you're probably too smart to work at David Saxe. I ignored the warnings, foolishly. There are video cameras everywhere ( including HR office), he taps the phones, and monitors your computer. At first I accepted this as the owner's business right. However, he actually sits in his office all day watching and criticizing everyone from his 55" monitors. As the HR manager, I had an employee come into my office because he was upset. Our conversation was listened to by the owner. I may have agreed with the employee regarding his issue a little too much because during the conversation, the owner interrupted, repeated back to me the things he didn't like about what I said, during my conversation with the employee. In my own defense, I was trying to talk the employee off of the proverbial ledge. In doing so, I may have empathized too much. This is why conversations in HR should be private. When he asked if I would drink the Kool-aid, I said I couldn't. Rightly so, I was terminated. I refused to compromise myself and I don't regret it. This environment is oppressive. He will never accept that he lacks necessary business acumen.
