No payrise since jan19 and have been told nothing before the end if the year

Worst going is that during this time they let 20% of the workforce go so we are now all doing 125% of the work for 90% of the pay in real terms. This is fucking ridiculous!

Encouraging and supporting companies who are good to their employees

Once in a while, we all come across a call for boycotting a company that fouled their employee. Why not also make it a trend to support and help with our wallet as far as financially possible, those businesses, big and small, who treat their employees extremely well?

Nepotism/cronyism rant

Is anyone else REALLY sick of seeing people who have family connections getting preferential treatment for hiring and/or promotions? It's even worse if they are unqualified or undeserving of such positions. I've seen it in all 3 post college jobs I've had.

Boss fired me because his wife/sugar baby is draining his money

I had been working in this company for about 2 years, it was a small business with around 20 employees, eventually they closed the sales department that was the biggest one and I was left as the only employee doing human resources and client services, talking to the clients here and there, I was in charge of everything, all the spreadsheet with the clients information were under my name and I was the only one who could edit it, I was also the one the clients knew the most since they would always talk to me. I saw it coming, I knew they were about to fire me, my boss's wife spend so much money it's insane but that's what you get when you're white middle aged man dating a hot Hispanic girl in her 20's, he started to cut cost, some supplies, the mail lady salary, eventually he told…
