Month: April 2022

When I was hired into my current role, I asked for more money than they offered. The manager asked and HR said no. Fast forward a year and I find out there's an actual procedure when you ask for more money…AND the hiring manager never actually asked…so I wasn't afforded the opportunity to go through the procedure. After a while of back and forth, I was told there's nothing they could do. Nobody could give me a straight answer of why I wasn't given the same opportunity that many others had when asking for more money. So the next morning I handed in my 2 week notice to the main manager and explained why. He was floored, he didn't know anything about it. He stated “I could have gotten you more money”. Which only pissed me off because it proved everyone involved, including HR, was full of shit about not…

Similar to many posts here I am the recipient along with others that we are bringing folks back to the office 2x week. It comes also with odd grandfathering policies for some remote work and flex. I have no clue how / if this will be formally tracked. I think it will be more line managers who care to monitor and setup in person meetings as a method to track (my own boss is one of them). My question to you – I have a lot of individuals I will need to communicate this to – and it is not in my control to modify any of the policy. I was thinking of how to tell them my view on this in a respectful way that lets them still choose how they come in the office to prevent attrition but also in understanding they have to choose how they want…

Tldr my manager is an ass and my company STILL hasn't done anything about his harassment, bullying and discrimination… nobody cares and I am sick of it. For context, there's another post I made regarding my manager's harassment and I guess pure hatred towards me… even in my other post I didn't go into full detail about all the different things that happened over the last three months… Today, I walked out, again. I just couldn't stand it. Why do I have to put up with his discrimination and bullying?? Last week, the area manager (so his manager) organised a “mediation”, so that we would set ground rules so that “it wouldn't happen again” and to have “BOTH voices heard”. Already from that I was shocked… how could he be treated like a victim when HE WAS THE ONE HARASSING ME??? But whatever, even though he started calling me a…

With shipping issues, our company is wanting some of us to move to other departments. They wanted me to move back to another area I used to work in which i was miserable in. I make the same amount of money and don’t breathe in carbon dust and don’t have to work nearly as hard, and I’m now in a temperature controlled environment. I explained to them that I’m a good employee and don’t call out. I learn more jobs than other people in my area, and I told them If they tell me to go back there again I’ll stay until I find something else. Our company is way behind anyway and needs a crap load of employees. I’m watching as many other employees have stood their ground and some are leaving because they are tired of it.

-Background- My mother works at a financial press company and has a sub-par salary. She works avg. 12.5 hours a day and is constantly scolded for no reason. Main story: In 2020, my mother joined a job in a small company as a “project executive”, and receives a salary of approx. $25k a month is not enough for our household to live on. Her department has about 3 supervisors and about 5 other people including her. The first year was just yelling for being 3 minutes late or requesting to not work overtime that day for a special occasion and the usual YOU WASTED . This year, however, many people quit and the companies who hired her company to do stuff were crazy. She had to do 5 jobs in 3 in the morning! She was more of a junior member of the company so she was ordered to work…
