Month: April 2022

Plus uncapped 1% commission on company wide new sales of the product line I will be managing. And I will no longer be in a sales role. Happy fucking Friday! I can't wait to get the reaction from my current managers. They don't get to find out for a couple weeks. I've literally been carrying the team for months. They didn't seem to think that entitled me to a raise. Just hollow praise. And more work. Fuck that. There is hope out there. Never stop looking. Ask for more than you think you're worth. Never take the first offer.

My work has been struggling with for a year with both hiring and retaining employees. Instead of addressing the reasons for this, they force those of us still there to work mandatory overtime to fill the gaps. It's been this way for seven months. Instead of the 4/10 schedule I agreed to, I've been working my day off on Mondays so it's been 5/10 for seven consecutive months. Recently I decided to change careers, but the class I'm going to take doesn't start till July. I sent an email to my manager two weeks ago that I was no longer available to work Mondays. My manager responded that I didn't have the right or option to say I'm not available on my days off. They scheduled me the following Monday, then called and texted me frantically when I didn't show. I was written up for it later that week. They…

So a friend of mine is working at a place (kept vague on purpose). It's hourly wage Minnesota. The deal is over summer they get an extra few bucks per hour for working if they do all the shifts over the summer and don't call in more than once. Is it legal to condition it like that

Context: my coworker & I would like to get paid more but we’re not sure how to go about it. We work manufacturing and most other manufacturing jobs in the area start off $1-$2 more than what we’re currently making, albeit many others also have a lot more overtime and shift differentials. Our employer gave us 10% performance raises last fall, bringing us both to just shy of $18/hr. When I tried talking about it 2 weeks ago w/ my supervisor, explaining we’re doing exceptionally well lately, he only asked if I’d be willing to learn another job. I suggested not atm since others doing our job will be retiring soon he might want to keep us where we were for now. He said all the workers in my position are paid at the top tier atm so he can’t do anything about that (which idk if I believe). Ultimately,…

Joke's on them. I got two other remote jobs. That one paid the least and worked me the most (like 10 hours a week but still too much for that garbage ass pay). My other two jobs pay $80k+ and 30 minutes after they had a fucking group meeting to let everyone else know I was terminated, I'd gotten an offer from another company for $80k. It's almost as if these morons wanna reward being unproductive. ​ It used to be pretty chill until some annoying ass boomer project manager took over. All the other program managers liked me. He was just an annoying fuck who tried micromanaging the shit outta me and put me on a PIP (Performance Improvement Plan), because I skipped a meeting that was always skipped before he showed up. I was still producing results (and one of the highest achievers in the department at that).…
