Month: March 2022

My workplace has been struggling to make a profit recently and they’re making a load of redundancies including me. But the thing is I’m not even annoyed at losing this job? I’ve been growing to hate it there – it’s boring and my manager kinda sucks. Only really stayed out of convenience and belief I had better job security. So really by forcing me out they’ve done me a favour. I can focus on my studies that they paid for and then probably walk straight into a pay rise at whatever new place I find. Looking forwards to the several months I have as a break too. Not even mad. I’ve been joking at work that I’m one of the lucky ones.

That’s all.

Hello all, I've been applying for jobs in the last few days since my current employer decided not to give me a very well deserve raise after 2 years without a raise. The positions I am applying for either have a big salary range such as “Between 60k and110k” Or no salary at all. So when applying, I go on Glassdoor to see what the positions pay and use that to put my “desired salary” in these applications. I've been rejected from 3 out of 27 companies I've applied to so far. The thing is I heard someone I know in one of those companies that the advertised salary of 70k-110k is misleading and the budget they have for the position is actually 70k a year. I did a bit more digging into it and it seems like a lot of companies do similar things when advertising a position. This…

I just found out recently that new hires in my company have been making more then me… significantly more. The upper management recently addressed this in a meeting and said we will all be starting at the same pay level if people are not making said wage. I am making a few cents more then a new hire with zero experience now and I feel so insulted but at the same time feel so guilty because I want to complain about the fact that I’ve been working here for years and am not valued as anything worth compensating. I can’t understand how I feel right now, I’m hurt and upset and feel incredibly stupid for wasting my life working 50-70 hours a week and it was to be valued as much as a new hire with zero experience. I wasted years of my life working here and have nothing special…

So…. how serious is the NO CEO thing? I mean, Is it ok if you're only technically the CEO, as long as you're also the janitor, handyman, cashier, stocker, and literally every other non management position that exists as well? Serious question, as I enjoy the sub, and appreciate the perspective it offers, but if I'm not welcome I'll show myself out. Hope everyone is having as happy and contented a day as possible.

I feel hopeless a lot these days, I don't want to work anymore. I dont want to deal with the nagging of my co manager anymore and I have so much responsibility pushed on me. I could get another job but i bet there isn't going to be a good job for me anywhere like the one i already have. Dispite some pressure and lesser pay. And yeah I don't get paid enough. I just got scammed almost $40 to, and I am so embarrassed that I was stupid enough to let that happen to me. I tried doing certain pictures for money but it made me feel to icky and men scare me. I think about death a lot because there might not be much suffering as life but I also don't want to die either.. why can't I just simply exist
