Month: April 2022

Just a small rant. I used to work in events, I spent 4 years of my life working with a company where the norm is 12h-15h days, where you stand around pointing people in the right direction to the club regardless of the weather. I hated it, and I hate that I have to go back bcs my new job's pay does not cover the basics. The only good thing this events job has going for it is that it is a 0 hrs contract meaning I can pick my shifts when convenient but I thought I had finally been able to move on to better things. God damn it.

If I've been told multiple times on different occasions (different promotions) that I was going to get it, and was approved or whatever, yet they didn't give it to me for no reason, is that something I should contact my union about? I honestly have no idea what a union really does. Also, how would I find out who my union rep is? none of my coworkers know, I'm sure i could ask my DM but I'm pretty sure if i talk to this dude again I'll explode.

So when you're looking for a job, a lot of interviewers are like, “you want to know how much this JOB, which is where you exchange LABOUR for MONEY, PAYS? You should be working for PASSION not MONEY!” k dude Let's pay the CEO, and everyone in the executive suite, the same amount as their lowest-paid employee (likely a janitor, secretary, or data entry clerk). Fill the role with two people working part-time so they don't even get benefits. Then we'll only attract candidates who are passionate about the job. We won't have all the problems rich CEOs cause. Problem solved! In a few months when businesses close down crying about how CEO's don't want to work anymore because of government subsidies, well, that Biden sure is a bad president!

Two days ago I posted that my manager had said he would approve my raise “when he thought I was ready” to perform my responsibilities without supervision. I was confused because he offered me a title, I accepted, my responsibilities changed, and I hadn't yet seen the raise associated with those changes. I sent him a message explaining that I was “extremely uncomfortable” with his response because it was inconsistent with all the information I'd been given to to that point. Yesterday I went to a company meeting for about an hour. Had my managers needed to say something to me, that would have been a great time. At 10:26PM yesterday, they sent an email which I opened this morning. “Terminated effective immediately.” The reason they gave was “several instances of shop policies and procedures being disregarded,” which is bullshit. I know for a hard fact that I was one…
