Month: April 2022

I feel like it’s just a way to have your work life be EVERPRESENT like taking cell phones and internet to the next level Where you can never get away from work now Now if it was a normal job and once you were done you were done, then I could see benefits But it seems like a slippery slope

Not sure if this is the right place to post so I apologize if it isn't. Hey all, I am in need of advice and want to know what my options are. I work in IT and salaried. Last November I got put on a pip after a bad performance review in July. What's weird is that, I never had bad performance reviews in the 1.5 year working here. Then I got a bad review (and I haven't even signed for either) for menial reasons and my manager forgot to put me on a pip until later. From then, I've been sent to the office to work on site instead of remotely and I am literally the only person on site working. My manager has slowly cut off my resources so I am not having any work to do for half the day(one of the items that I need to…

Like, without help from family, inheritance or other death benefits. I know of one person IRL who purchased a nice home independently. Everyone else I know either probably got help from parents or for sure got help from parents, an inheritance or a check from life insurance – No shade from me btw. I have no inter-generational wealth, no property-owning parents and no prospects of inheritance because of generations of lower working-class woes. I’ve got an ok job myself though, but when I sit down and plan on acquiring a house alone, it’s pretty abysmal of a prospect. I have no spouse but do have a partner who can’t really help with the financials. Anything I could afford near my job right now with my DTI would require between 1-2x the property’s sale value to make habitable. So, any data or even anecdotes and independent home ownership stories? Need something…

Yet they won't schedule shift overlap, only have one place to punch in and out (they can have upwards of 5 people trying to clock in and out at once), want them to make sure they've finished all their work and stay after if it isn't, and tell people when they're hied they can clock in 5 minutes early. Not to mention the person that replaces my fiance is also 5-10 minute late EVERY DAY. Ooooooo 10-15 hours extra taken from a company that profits hundreds of millions of dollars every year!!!! So scaryyy. https://preview.redd.it/ik0kd0iw6xr81.png?width=1910&format=png&auto=webp&s=baa8b95e4dfddc7dddeb8cb46f7981febf504deb

I have not been on a time clock in years so I have a hard time understanding. My situation is this. I had to leave the office 10 minutes early. So instead of staying one day for an extra 10 minutes, I split it into 2 days for five minutes. For example, I clocked in at 7:29 and left at 4:34, on the other day I clocked in at 7:30 and stayed until 4:35. It clearly shows my punches but the time clock rounded the extra time to exactly 8 hours for each day. I thought this was nutty because where did the 10 minutes go and the time is just randomly rounding without giving me my extra time. In essence, I guess this means if I clock out 1 minute earlier than I am supposed to for the 8 hour period, it still gives me 8 hours although it…

TLDR: Title I joined a company right before the pandemic really kicked off. I was given an offer letter for an introductory salary that would lead into my full time salary after a 3 to 6 month build out process. I was to design, build and launch an entire new division of their business all by myself. I was satisfied with the 50% initial salary to get started but thought it was a bit of a red flag that he wouldn't put the promised salary in writing, only verbal agreements and handshakes. The six-month build out period went really well, I was exceeding production quotas by 20%. The conversation about my pay increase was always inconvenient and the time passed, 6 months turned into 9 months, then 12 months, then 18 months. When I realized I was just being used and I was never going to get the salary I…
