I got my appraisal yesterday and it's worth pennies. They added a variable component to my salary saying this will be paid basis organization performance. The organisation has been shit at performing lately so all that I've received is a mere 12% hike when I was supposed to get promotion and a 30% hike was promised. Screw this I'm leaving as soon as I find better opportunity.
I am a director at my current company with several different hats in the company. I let my company know I was moving on last week – it was mutual. My boss asked for a month transition vs. just 2 weeks since there isn't a backfill and would require some level of documentation. I was able to accommodate the request as I'm trying to leave on good terms – mostly for my team that I worked so hard to build. HR just set up the exit interview for the end of this week (a week and a half into my 4 week notice). I've only had roles where an exit interview was the very end, so I look to r/antiwork for advice: Is this an early dismissal? Am I expected to finish the final 3 weeks? If not, do I get paid out for those 3 weeks, since my notice…
I've been harassed for my sexual orientation since starting a new job last summer. After spending weeks trying to get a response from HR, I was terminated today after telling my attacker to send any messages to my manager rather than myself. It's a huge statewide hospice agency and it absolutely floors me that they have people working in this organization with these feelings. Just the thought of this population having to deal with these bigots is incredibly saddening. I suppose on the brighter side I don't have to deal with any of them any longer. Any tips for what to do with this type of freedom?
Short but sweet, honestly. My brother is one of three keyholders for a certain dollarish themed store. Yesterday, his coworker (an ASM) and a new guy (non-ASM) unloaded a truck. At the end of the truck, they closed but forgot to lock, the back door. Store manager called the ASM into the office earlier for a stern talking to and a demotion, demanding the store keys. This store routinely fucks their people out of their days off, out of their raises and generally treats them as disposable entities rather than people. I've watched them abuse my brother to the point of tears for literally no net gain for the store. So when I say that the ASM, a young woman routinely dealing with family issues, dropped the keys and walked out, I relished it. My brother is picking up the slack. He's still young, he doesn't want to risk his…
I live in NJ and I’m under the impression that we have a separate pool that is allotted 40 hours a year that refreshes each year
Sorry if I just need to know the forum better to find these stories. I'd accept living off your partner's income etc. Curious about the actual possibilities here. (Working as much as I do to still be poor feels like slavery)
This is not all from one job. I have been collecting the “requirements” for different positions I am considering. https://preview.redd.it/gdah36z8irr81.png?width=619&format=png&auto=webp&s=bba21c69c387f0e3e1397bd96d0a6600fd720a7b
So I'm in a call center sales job (which I despised enough already for a mountain of reasons). We are split into teams, but it's not like a traditional team. You are all pretty much pitted against each other on a scoreboard. If you're doing well, the managers will point it out and tell other people to try beating you, if you're not doing well, you are encouraged to overshadow your co-workers for meaningless sales points. I had an email sent to me yesterday saying that if your entire team goes over 60 days without a single person taking any sick time off (literally even an hour for an appointment or something), they will get an extended lunch (30 minutes turned to 1 hour, what a treat) and a £10 voucher per person for food. I was feeling the beginning of an illness come on before even getting this…
I've been working at a call center for a credit card processing company for a month and I have never wanted to leave a job as much as I do now. The benefits are good, the pay is fair, and the work environment is overall nicer than other jobs I've had. However, the work itself could be considered torture. And I feel like I spend all of my time at this place now. There is not a single day where I don't get a rude caller. I have to waste away in front of this computer every Monday-Friday for 9 hours a day. It doesn't help when I'm stuck on a long call that requires me to stay after hours to complete the call! It doesn't help that I am an introvert and absolutely cannot stand interacting with humans for extended periods of time. This workplace promotes the idea of…
So work over paid most of us employees and their solution is to simply deduct it from our next check. Post taxes so after getting bumped to a higher tax bracket with an over $500 overpayment. They will take their money back, after taxes, so we get screwed twice. Bet if they shorted your check they wouldn't say a word.
