Month: May 2022

For me it was during the 2nd year after becoming a Journeyman at 25 everything started making sense. It dawned on me that the annual increase in pay would never catch up with general price increase of everything or even the super-underestimated “official” inflation numbers. That i could work my way up to project manager in 10-15 more years, only to get paid the same as i was with overtime hours as a supervisor, just by getting a higher base salary and not being paid for overtime. ​ What i dont understand is how many people seem completely fine with it.

I have poor coordination so I tend to work quite slowly and im so sick of being told to work faster. I often work the fastest i can but its rarely enough.

he is NOT a long term employee, he's fairly new to this job. what the fuck. is this even legal? like i'm so baffled i've never heard something so insane?? SHE SENT THE POLICE TO THEIR HOUSE BECAUSE HE DIDNT ANSWER HER CALLS?? ITS LATE AT NIGHT TOO????? i'm legit in shock.

So work pays me fortnightly. I started my job on April 27th so I just missed the cut off for being paid for the full two weeks after my join date (May 1st to the 13th.)

I work eight hours a day, so after a fortnight that adds up to about £770 before tax. I got paid today and I only made around £450 after tax, but shouldn’t I have been paid four weeks wages? If I’m correct I should’ve been paid at least £7-800. I don’t know where to find my payslip either. I guess it’s back to asking my bosses again. It’s just frustrating because I was expecting…

I have recently interviewed with a company that is offering me a $5 pay bump doing almost exactly what I do now. I’ve only been with my current company since November 2021 and at my 90 day review I negotiated $2 instead of the $1 they initially offered. Since I’ve caught on at the current place, made a huge difference with my current accounts, I’m not sure I want to jump ship without putting something on the table for them to counter. They may tell me no, I haven’t been here long enough and I’m not really willing to wait around for a review if I can bring in more income immediately. I have an offer letter in hand and have until next Friday to make my decision. This company is bringing in millions every single month, my team alone brings in a million every month and we come in…
