The habit gets a new name.
Planet Fitness is rebranding neglect as “character-building”. Broken AC? Portable units will do. Broken equipment? Just kick it to turn it back on. And if you complain, HR will twist it to make you look bad. The company’s priorities are clear: outside hires over existing employees, and metrics over morale. Just don’t expect a commission for hitting those targets. And if you’re lucky, you might just get a portable AC unit to cool you down.
Working at Planet Fitness: where the only thing more broken than the equipment is the company culture.
