Month: April 2022

I am in accounting, and am currently an accountant at a regional construction company about 35 minutes from where I live. I love my job, everything about it, except I am not being paid what I feel I'm worth. That is it. Fast forward a year and a half, and I've since passed my CPA and have gotten a small raise, and decent year end bonuses. I started to wonder what else was out there. I found and applied for a position at a very large conpany, Director of Operations, Supply Chain Management. It's “in the realm” of what I went to school for, but not Finance and Accounting, but it would pay roughly $35k more per year, and is literally 3 minutes from my house. My wife works there too, but in a complete different department and location. I applied about 2 months ago. Within the first week of…

The company I work for is notorious among it's employees for having low pay. I applied for a position one step above what I'm currently doing and they gave me 50¢ more than what I asked for. I was talking with my coworker and found out that they make less than that in the same position, and have been in that position for over a year, so I encouraged them to ask for more money on their next review. Anyway, talking about wages is one of the best things you can do to start organizing at work. If you can't talk about it at work (you really shouldn't anyway) ask to meet them outside of work and bring up the subject.

I work in healthcare. I am required to meet a productivity each week (i.e- see a certain amount of patients) I have been with my company for almost five years but I recently moved to a new area and I was able to stay with this company. The new area I'm in is struggling to find me patients due to competition with other medical companies. Because of this I have not met my productivity in a while. We are expected to work with nurses and directors to find people who need our services which I have been doing (2-3 meetings a week, doing non billable things to build rapport, get insurance information, calling people) I also have somewhat of a leadership position where I help onboard people and educate on insurance and documentation. While I do not meet my productivity each week if you look solely based on seeing patients,…

Hi, I’ve been working for a place for 2 years now 10 hours as a data analyst/CRA and the rest as a receptionist. I initially left in September for a slightly better paying job (I was being paid 15 hourly). I came back since they offered me full time hours in data analysis and a “good”pay. I signed my offer letter and it said CRA as the title. BUT I’m expected though to split my time between being a receptionist and Doing CRA/data analysis since they’re short staffed. I was yelled at a week ago since I’ve been spending more time doing data analysis (that’s why I came back). I never signed up to be a receptionist. They are saying they need me to be flexible. I get yelled at maybe daily for not spending more time as a receptionist. My question is in paper it says CRA But they’re…

I just left work fifteen minutes early for the first time. I felt so overwhelmed I just had to leave. I work at the big orange store as a sales associate. So for some context… I'm disabled. I have a large disc herniation in my lumbar resulting in a badly pinched sacral nerve. This is only one of the injuries I have that cause me chronic pain. I'm also on the autism spectrum. Today at work I was sitting on one of those orange buckets (turned upside down) in my main aisle to rest my back while keeping an eye out for customers in need of assistance. While I sit I sometimes browse my phone idly or play a puzzle (minesweeper) just to keep me focused and not terribly bored. The way I see it I'm either sitting doing nothing while I rest my back or I'm sitting doing a…
