Month: April 2022

I've only left one job on a two week notice because I actually liked working there, every other job I've had I quit on the spot as soon as I either found something better or got fed up. Im just generally curious if this has ever affected anybody drastically.

I was discussing with my co workers about checking your paychecks and one co worker goes “oh! I always check my paystubs. have to make sure” This was in reference to a class action lawsuit against my company from a former employee. He alleges that he was not compensated correctly according to his differential and given break times among other things. ​ Anyways, I wanted to ask with regards to an (ADP) paystub, how much in depth do you go into review everything? ​ Is it necessary to go as far as making sure the correct percentage of federal and state income tax is taken out among other taxes. Should you always multiply your hours by your hourly rate to make sure the math isnt wrong? Should one always check every single deduction, and if you find a discrepancy, is there a deadline you have to reach to fix it?

My company started the return to office process recently, with 50% of the office alternating two days a week in. When I went in today my boss mentioned that HR is tracking who is coming in. he didn’t mention how, but I don’t doubt there’s a way. He didn’t bring it up like a scare tactic, though, and he mentioned they may be reconsidering the RTO strategy. When I’ve been in, there’s less than 25% (at most) of who should be in. I‘m trying to make sense of the tracking and the purpose. I guess its possibly positive, they have to see most people aren’t coming in so maybe they let us decide about coming in instead of forcing. Of course, it could be they use it to get more strict with the policy. Either way, it’s weird to know they’re tracking who is where. Just figured I’d share my…

I’ve worked at this place for four years, haven’t had a review since year one. Same goes for a raise, not one more dime in the past three despite we only grown during the pandemic. I’m active interviewing for other jobs and just cannot decide whether I should just fucking lay everything out on what’s wrong with this place or just kick the can and let them scramble when I walk out the door. This is so fucking frustrating.

April Fools.

Hasn't to do with with work actually… But if you antiworkers enjoy a decent series check out “Severance”. I'm into the fifth episode. Without telling to much its a company that has workers to agree to brain implants that prevent them from remembering their outside life while their working and their outside selves not remembering anything about their work life…interspersed with some bizarre shit.

My boss sent a message to the group chat reading this, “Hi Team I need volunteers to work tomorrow to help clear the 80 pieces of stock that came today.. vou need to come in casual wears and need to be able to follow directions clearly” Did they seriously ask if people could volunteer? As in do free work? I don’t know if I’m overthinking this since English isn’t my first language. ps: idk if this is the right place to post, so im sorry in advance!
