Month: March 2022

I recently presented some information to my superiors showing how my salary is not in line with my current position and years of experience. They gave me a raise higher than they planned, which still doesn't put me at what I would have hoped. I was going to just settle and be happy with that because I am okay with my current job. However, on top of that they said it would be like a promotion to me as a director too! No… the raise should have been even higher for my current position. It shouldnt put me at a new position that should be an even higher salary that I had asked for!! (I have no desire whatsoever to be a director and have to manage other people. I know my current workload will just continue right on top of all that.. ) So frustrating..

I work at Starbucks and I've been trying to get out of it for a bit because it's becoming unbearable, but that's a tale for another post. the point is I was applying to several new Jobs and internships closer to my major (History and Library/Information sciences) so I can dip my toes in and get some experience. Things like work in Libraries and museums and all around my area. When I got to the sections asking about wages specifically for the actual jobs I initially lowballed around $13-$16 with the thought to myself “I'm new and have no experience is this too much to ask for?” After realizing what sort of mistake I was making and potentially screwing myself over I asked for a more decent range around $17-$20 something. All that said Several just never responded, a few called me to set up interviews and claimed my wage…

I work a a high volume dealership, I’m a parts advisor and basically everyone comes to me (techs, service advisor, walk in customer, phone customer, email inquiries managers, sales) there is 3 of us that do most of the heavy lifting. If any mistakes are made ( which is unavoidable) it goes nuclear, we get written up. We get verbal by 3 other managers, we get taken aside and ask why this happens and a lot of the times I don’t remember because so much had happend in between l’m constantly defend myself in this fucking place. And I’ll im doing is my very best. Yesterday I was accused of fucking over the tech on purpose, I have nothing to gain by doing that and I have no reason plus I don’t like to be yelled at by 6 different people . Im just so fucking tired. The only reason…

About a month ago management demanded a full return to the office. Everyone was pretty annoyed and would even accept a split of 3 days in 2 days out or even just in all the time a flexibility when we need it. But no, everyone has to be in all the time with no exceptions. Fuel is very expensive right now and it costs a lot to go in every day, my department doesnt have a manager at the moment because they haven't managed to hire someone new yet (couldn't possibly be due to the shitty pay and no WFH). In our friday morning meeting our defecto head of the department has said that he has accepted a job offer somewhere else and my manager has said he has a final interview this monday that he is very confident about. I'm I'm a graduate programme an obligated to stay on…

Thanks to r/lifeprotips I know better than to answer anything about myself having an inability to perform. So I said they may say I overdress lol

I wasn't born to hustle, grind. I HAVE to hustle and grind because I wasn't born rich, in other words I was born a SLAVE. Yet at the same time, they need to understand more and more people are coming to their senses and beginning to understand life is about LIVING, not hustling and grinding. No, employees aren't lazy. They are HUMANS, they have NEEDS, they are chronically overworked and underpaid. I wasn't born to work, I was born to LIVE and enjoy my damn life, of which I only have one, it's these greedy privileged 1%'s fault UBI isn't and will never be a thing, so 99% of people have to grind and hustle to make ends meet, and yet a metric F ton of people still only live paycheck to paycheck, which should be deemed a violation of human rights in and of itself by default.
