Month: May 2022

Sorry for the mobile formatting. Been a member of the sub for a while. Love everything about it. Started a soul crushed job at Midwest Diversified Properties LLC. I was content not to complain until they stole from me, that’s my bad. They’ve yet to reimburse me for expenses that I incurred on my own behalf to keep this company limping along rather than grinding to a halt. I have receipts, text messages and emails proving that they owe me this money that they acknowledged as accurate. It’s been over a month since they let me go and still owe me this money. If anyone has ideas on how to get it back that would be lovely. Working here was like trying to work with one arm tied behind your back. The company was cheap af and only cared about profits. They did so many illegal things while I was…

title says it all, imo, the gov wants us to have children so they can replenish the lower end jobs easily. Without this tactic they would have to pay people fairly.

My boss was on vacation for two weeks starting in May but caught covid and has been out now for all of May. The higher ups say we need to make up for his lost time and has taken away our overtime pay and lunch breaks. There's a few people that aren't really saying much but most of us don't know what to do as this is obviously not right. Any advice?

My grammar is bad because Microsoft puts squiggly lines under things (I always check to make sure I am, in fact, right when I ignore those). He put this on my annual evaluation. My charts are “horrible” and ugly. I clearly don’t think things through. I don’t understand how (job) is done. He asked my opinion, I (naively) gave it, and was told my opinion was wrong. and I lack common sense and am the reason he’s giving the office training on what common sense entails. I know none of these things are true (because my direct supervisor has my back) and he is equally horrible to everyone else. My coworkers and I have turned him into a living meme. Ironically he doesn’t understand why the office can’t keep anyone for longer than 18 months…he thinks we’re just a bunch of lazy job hoppers… I’m young and was eager to…

I feel like a huge weight has been lifted since my last day yesterday. It’s a very strange feeling though and I have mixed emotions but I can tell that this place was effecting my health for years and I didn’t even fully realize it. As I detox from the toxic environment before I start my new career, I am spending time with myself and people I care about who’ve been somewhat put to the side with how big of a focus and energy my old job took from me. Really excited about this new chapter in my life ️

I've been with my company for 9 years and just had my first salary review since 2019 (long overdue to say the least and should have insisted sooner, but was kept being told to wait until Covid aftermath settles). Since 2019 a lot has changed, including taking on over twice my workload/responsibilities; assuming roles of 3 people who have since left and were not replaced, and helped with a large acquisition/merger of the company. I don't know the exact financially standing of the company, but there's only 3 of us, 1 of whom is the CEO, so overhead isn't too high especially considering the recent acquisition. I went into the meeting confident and asked for a reasonable 25% salary raise in addition to a 40% bonus based on the past 3 years of hell and overall being their longest standing employee. What was their offer? A 10% raise with no…

I work as a dealer for an online casino. Basically I sit in front of a camera, take the cards out of their place, put them in front of the camera and tell the person if they won or lost. Easy peasy. We use 8 decks of cards and once in a while, we have to shuffle them. We should have people specially hired to do that but we don't so us, the dealers, do it ourselves. As you probably guessed, shuffling a deck made of 8 different decks of cards takes a while, 4 or 5 minutes and if you start it, you have to sit there and finish it. I mention that because in case you get to it right before your break, you may lose a few minutes off your break because of it. What we usually do is just… not start it. It goes like this:…

I've worked at my job for 8 years, we have had 4 CEOs in that time and each one had decided to restructe the business and put my whole department at risk of redundancy each time. I have had to re apply for my job and each time I got it back quickly. The most recent one, the redundancy I am going through now have asked me to re apply for my job. However this time they have posted all the new structure jobs on the internal intranet and this time my current role is advertised at £10k more than I make now. I re apply and get offered the job immediately as I am the only one with extensive knowledge of our systems and support the sales, engineering, operations and system support teams, if I left they would spend 2+ years trying to train someone else. The kicker is…
