Month: March 2022

My department's old boss left in December. He was the best, but he couldn't handle the CEO and I never understood why, he just always complained about him. Anyways, we started looking for a new boss and told the CEO what we were looking for. Someone with experience in creating new business branches, because we had a concept for a new business branch that was pretty lucrative. We were motivated to put the work in, if we had the right person (aka someone with expertise). The CEO let us write the job announcement and had us invite people for interviews. Had them hand in assignments. One candidate looked particularly fitting. She had it all, everything we wanted. After interviewing the last candidate, my CEO who was there for the interviews told us that he had already decided on a different person. Somebody from a different department who he described as…

Just to clarify, I don't detest my job. However, this really angers me. I work in a corporate job. All my calls are video calls because we have offices all over. If I go back to the office, I am being asked to do video calls, from the office. I'm already starting to update my resume, because this is bonkers. Anyone else hate this?

Fuck that I say. The genie is out the bottle..people are fed up with traditional work culture. Even with the pandemic largely cooling down I get the sense that people don't want to go back to office work. Why? To have some middle management dickhead constantly breathing down your neck looking for reasons to be a dickhead, shitty/abusive coworkers, the commute to and from, etc. people's attitudes towards work is shifting and frankly most people would rather be at home if they can get the job done either way, so there really shouldn't be an issue. Fuck these elites just wanting to control every aspect of our lives.

Does any of u feel same I never had a normal boss

I share an office space with my coworker. When we get along, he's very talkative, to the point it's very distracting. He finds a lot of issues with my company's products, and since I'm well seasoned there, comes to me and expects me to drop what I'm doing to help him fact heck and investigate the issues. I don't mind helping him, but I have my own stuff going on. When we don't get along, it usually has to do with him having a personal issue with me. He doesn't own up to his own mistakes and lashes out when called out. For example, I am in charge of a big platform at my company and needed him to provide certain assets for it. To be clear, we are NOT equally in charge of this, but he thinks he is. He gave me a lot of incorrect and inconsistent information.…

Why the fuck would I want to record video responses to interview questions for an AI software to review and determine if I should get a real interview. It seems like a one sided process that only benefits the company because the candidate waste an hour of their time and can’t even ask about the role, company, or get a sense of the culture. This is the first time I have gotten a request to do this and just found it to be dehumanizing and disrespectful of the effort and time people put into applying for a job. The company that runs them is modernhire.com if y’all want to take a look at the bullshit they are selling to companies.

I am currently employed at a large company in Texas. I have been with the company for a little over 3 years now, and just recently I have been having some issues regarding underpayment of wages (this has never happened to me before, and they have always been on time with full pay before this). The underpayment was roughly equal to around half my usual paystub. My leave started on January 14th and ended on February 14th. We are paid semi-monthly, so the two payments from end of January and February 15th were both roughly half of my typical salary. I have gone through the normal routes of HR in an attempt to pay back wages owed to me, but after many ignored emails and contact attempts, they finally remedied the underpayment ~45 days later. The DPC (Disability Pay Continuance) plan I am enrolled in guarantees 100% of “base salary…

Had a meeting Monday about some emails a client sent to me because he was very upset. We manage property for out of state owners, these 2 had been sitting empty for a while due to the owner not answering my emails. My boss made it clear that I am to email everyone with vacant property every Friday. I was totally on board, tbf he has mentioned a couple times I need to stay on top of follow ups. But with how busy we've been with 700 new properties in the last year alone on top of the 1200 we already managed, it slipped my mind The meeting went ok at first, but my boss kept going on about it and working himself up. Finally he commented that if it kept happening they'd have to offer these clients discounts and “take it from my pay”. This is where I finally…
