I think I should make it known that the account I wrote about Sierra Trading Post was done on my own volition without the knowledge of, or input from, any current employees. It was my own account about my own experiences with the company and not a reflection of company-wide sentiment.
I think it should also be known that every single detail of my experience with Sierra Trading Post in that post is true.
And, people, the part about being provided with free cocaine at my current job is false. It’s called hyperbole. Look it up.
Sorry to hear there’s been backlash, but I can’t say I’m surprised. If there’s anything that upper-management at STP have proven recently, it’s that they’re completely out of touch with reality. I’m surprised they haven’t had IT block your blog and similar sites – much easier to censor dissidents than actually address concerns that people have.
For what it’s worth, your account is very much in-line with my experiences while I was there.

Oh, the stories we could probably share with each other! Thank you for the validation and for reading my blog. My point in writing the post wasn’t to deter would-be employees or expose bad business practices; I simply wanted my experience documented for posterity. I’m sure STP’s next move will be to block all non-work-related sites and install some sort of productivity-tracking device in every employee’s computer.
Then the death camps will come…
