Pour mes antiworkers français, vous posez vous des questions sur l’état de la France ?

Random reminder: stop over-sharing. Or sharing at all, people can only hurt you with things you tell them. Co-workers can be friends.

The world is INSANE enough, really just posting this for later. stop telling your co-workers your business for no reason. I understand it is an exciting time to be over covid and accepting the NWO but don’t build a reputation you can’t maintain forever at work. Sincerely, me to me

How much trouble will I be in if/when they find out?

I work at this very friendly company as soon as I graduated. Awesome ppl here. I do admin work and have been doing the same thing for the past 9 months. I am late every morning but never get caught cos the boss comes in after me or he has a meeting early and only sees me after I arrive. Im also on my phone for a couple hours every day. Its pretty chill. So the work I do really has no meaning. It's jus checks so there is no deadline. I also did mention my current everyday duties to my boss recently when we had a review saying I do x, y, z. Because he doesn't know much of what I do he doesn't check up on me at all. So i had a meeting with a person with the same role as mine that works at a sibling…

Don’t you just wish there was..

A group forum or central organization that every manager has to ascribe to so when you read the story of the hour about the most insane and ridiculous inhumane boss they could be just ripped to shreds by peers and superiors. I am a Corporate GM of a pretty popular fast casual chain. So I get high schoolers up to career family men in my staff and I just wish I could walk into any old restaurant for example I'm reading about and just inform these horrible lizardmen not only are they a worn through pair of clown shoes, but override their BS and give the employee an idiot tax on top. Sidenote: fuck all the companies that are a “family”. I am a dad of big, getting bigger, family and I love it more than life itself and truly want to take care of my people like I would…

Advice please (UK)

My employer recently took down some pro union literature in our staff room and has threatened the whole team with getting solicitors involved if any other material is found. Not sure what the laws are in the UK regarding union busting and removing union literature? Any advice would be greatly appreciated

Got ghosted by an interviewer

I used to work at a social media company right out of college. Dumb amount of money for living in a huge city and being graduated for a week. I was only a contractor so no benefits or PTO, but besides that I was able to spend whatever I wanted. My contract ended at the height of COVID and I found a new job that was permanently WFH. I absolutely love my team, but after two years I only got two small raises that bring me nowhere near what I used to make. I saw a job opening at my old company for a full-time position doing the exact work that I used to do and still do. I applied and within two hours they set up a phone interview with me! I was excited to get paid more with benefits. That was a week ago. My interview was yesterday…

Slaved to a job at 44

Let me start by telling you this is basically my own fault. I never got my college degree because I never knew what I wanted to be when I grew up. Worked a series of jobs my whole life – a few good, most of them shitty. I’ve worked retail, customer service, been the manager of a couple movie theaters, you name it. Nowadays I work in the mortgage industry as an appraisal assignment coordinator. It’s dull, tedious, and unfulfilling work and the place is run like a sweatshop with a skeleton crew. I’m a remote employee. I live 2000 miles away from my office and have never seen the faces of my supervisor or manager, despite working there just over a year now. I’ve also been dealing with some health issues lately. Frequent headaches, stomachaches, high blood pressure, and so on. It’s a high stress job with a ticking…
