Month: March 2022

Hi all again. My name is Cinders and i am 21 years old with high function Aspergers Syndrome and have Adhd and Eulers danlose syndrome. My question to you all is how does one who has had completely traumatic and awful work experiences over the course of 3-4 months and 6 months with a bad work relationship and in general an inability to really *click* with more neurotypical ignorant Bullys ill say…get financial aid in Maryland so that i can have some sort of income on disability and still be able to acquire it without much struggle and back and forth with a system so obviously setup in such a way that puts people like me and others of the same caliber of disability at such a disadvantage without actually meaning too… I thank you all and i appreciate any help or links or resources that may be of assistance…

I discovered how capitalism is horrible just after finishing high school (still not fully educated on it tho), and I was angry and sad about how jobs actually work in this world. I didn't really have a job while in high school so I wasn't mentally prepared for what's to come. I became a person who wants to work less and less – less hours and less days, not caring about making less money, but at least MAKING money. I loved my free time, and I told myself I don't want to work in an office job, hating the idea of 9-5, and as an introvert I didn't feel comfortable with many kinds of jobs. After telling everyone that at some point I will work (but kinda delaying it, letting the recent covid outbreak be my excuse), I started getting pressure from friends and family about getting a job, and…

I have a really good job, but of course with recent U.S. inflation and gas hikes, I am really believing I am not paid nearly enough. The company skipped raises out of concern of loss of profits from covid for like 2 years. However, the books are public as it is a non-profit and they made money each year… So, I'm in a lower position rank wise in the company, but critical. I have to go into the office mon-friday. No wfh. I've never gotten a raise due to covid. I make about 2 or 3 dollars over my states minimum wage as it has been going up every year during covid regardless, due to a planned rollout (MA). The fact that I am one of about 5-10 MAX employees out of 80 that have to go in every week, coupled with the company stating they will let people work…

Lots of examples on this sub of companies behaving terribly. Are there any companies where the employees feel appropriately compensated, respected, and proud to work for? Not trying to create a r/HailCorporate post, but hoping to highlight some examples that could become a blueprint for shitty companies to follow. Would be great to see examples of small, medium, and large businesses.

What’s the idea of this sub? Are you all just trying to find ways to live comfortably while doing less work? Or is the sentiment that all work is bad, and the sub exists to bash it?

When all these opportunities for remote work came around i had a clever little idea to work in a country with a high cost of living and live in a country with a low cost of living, turns out, alot of these companies offering remote work want to do their own “cost of living assessment” how is that legal that ensures they're going to find the least amount possible to pay you no matter where you try to live, because they need you in debt, they need you constantly behind the 8-ball.

My boss missed my birthday and employee appreciation day this week. They have honored other birthdays of other employees because my boss has our birthdays in their calendar. They were hired in the middle of the pandemic but the first thing they did was collect our birthdays. I got a happy birthday last year but not one this year. I feel like I’m making a big deal about this but when I really think about it I can’t help but feel bummed out. Even before this I’ve been thinking about quitting and I think I’ve found my final reason to go.
