Stagnant workplace advice.

Hi all, At my current employer, Im(28M) second in line in respects to seniority over a department. I was hired 2.5 years ago and can say that I brought a substantial about of skills and relatable career experience that can and could’ve changed this department for the better in a major way. As respectful as I can say it the individual who leads in seniority within this department, doesn’t have any outside experience in relation to the job and lacks very important leadership skills that are a necessity in employee engagement and development. He’s friends with the owner in which he was hired when he was 16( 33 now). So this has been his only career.

Anyone have any stories of managers that work as hard as they do?

Seriously. Is management's job just to yell at people to look like they're working? Or do I have it all wrong. Please, share your side.

I was told to post this little rant in this sub, and I think it would be relevant

LPT: Don't stay in a toxic environment hoping you'll gain some sort of respect with people. To them, you are simply under their thumb and expendable. I worked in a start-up in late 2020 related to the degree I had gotten in college, biochemistry. My supervisor was an alumni at my college, so I thought we could get along, but it turned out she was a borderline sociopath who would throw adult temper tantrums when things weren't done exactly her way, even if higher ups told me to do something otherwise. I hoped to gain some sort of respect, in the hopes of getting a reference, but it ended in disaster with her verbally abusing me in front of co-workers, that I had “molested” the company, and told me to get out. Not allowing myself to be treated like shit so much, I lashed out on her and told her…

If employers would replace the word “work” with “exploited”, we’d be on the same page: “No one wants to be [exploited]!”

work paying me in cash?

Just curious if anyone knows anything about this. But basically cashed my check from work & it bounced due to 'Not Sufficient Funds'. Texted someone from HR & said they'd pay me in cash. I find this kind of odd and a little off, I am just curious if this means anything? Is some shady shit going on at work?

Many jobs I’m looking at these days don’t offer employee health insurance or a 401k savings plan.

Is this normal? Is it whatever? The firm that wants to hire me said it’s cheaper to get my own insurance policy…
