My experience at Net at Work was emotionally devastating, and I feel strongly that anyone considering employment deserves to hear the truth from someone who lived it.
From the start, I felt unsupported, unprepared, and constantly blamed for things I was never given the tools, guidance, or clarity to succeed in. Processes didn’t exist, questions were treated like burdens, and expectations shifted without warning. It created an environment where failure felt inevitable — because the foundation for success simply wasn’t there.
What hurt the most was realizing how little concern there seemed to be for the impact their decisions have on the real people behind the job titles. Losing a job is always difficult, but the way it happened — so suddenly, so easily, and with so little thought — has had real consequences for my family. Their lack of empathy or acknowledgment of how deeply this affects people’s lives was heartbreaking. It’s painful knowing my children are struggling because of choices made by a company that claims to “care” about its employees.
The newer management brought in during my time there only made things worse. In my experience, their leadership style felt dismissive, arrogant, and demeaning. The shift from supportive to punitive was quick and unpredictable. It created a culture of fear, not growth. And when the very department responsible for “people and learning” feels unapproachable and unsupportive, it’s hard to imagine how any meaningful development or positive culture could ever take root.
What the company advertises about valuing people did not align with what I experienced day-to-day. It often felt like employees were expendable — numbers, not humans. And when a business makes decisions without considering the people who give their time, energy, and heart to the work, it leaves a deep emotional toll.
There are talented, caring individuals in the organization who deserve supportive leadership and a stable environment. But based on my experience, I cannot recommend this workplace to anyone who values clarity, compassion, or genuine respect.
I sincerely hope the company takes an honest look at the culture it has created, because real people — real families — are paying the price for decisions made without humanity.
