Month: May 2022

Alright so I just got a job at a commission ONLY, door to door type of thing, I'm in sales so, ya guessed it, a unloved and even hated – door to door salesman. The uncertainty comes into play because not only am I using gas to get there and back, which equals to a hour a day of travel but obviously the job itself does Not give ANY stability what so ever, I have no idea IF I will ever get a paycheck! The ONLY thing that is making me question if I should even show up tomorrow is the potential.. IF I could manage even two partial sales a day, I could get 4k a month but that's not guaranteed at all with this job… I just felt so good at landing this job and it was marked as hourly pay…I really hate that I have MORE stability…

They will waste their life working and getting very little breaks or are lucky to have a holiday or sick leave from work but won’t ever get to enjoy the luxuries and quality of life that a comfortable person or the wealthy does. Because they have to and have no other choice. They have to choose a job they don’t like or like their job. And also the cost of travel should be free why do you have to pay to literally go to another place on earth unless you own a boat, private jet or or another vehicle? Why do we have to pay for fuel and air in our tyres that should be free? It also makes me sad that there’s people who live in poverty and have no other options and I wish I could come up with something to make a way for everyone to easily…

I love this subreddit. I visit pretty often and stand in utmost solidarity with all of you. I just started a new job after 6 months of not working because my last job left me with some of the worst trauma I’ve ever had to endure in my life. I tried to sue them and I ultimately lost despite my overwhelming obvious evidence (camera footage and previous attempts to report manager.) It literally destroyed me and ruined my entire life. I had only worked here two months after returning from disability for almost 7 months from being overworked and mentally dead from the job BEFORE being assaulted. As you can see, working has literally taken so much from me. I have not been able to feel safe at any jobs. I started a new job yesterday and it felt so weird because I walked in so detached from the idea…

I currently make $110k at a software company. It is fairly inline with what I should be getting paid at my current company, although I was expecting a promotion anytime now to Senior. I have been currently job hunting and wanted to go for something bigger. On my resume, I made my current role a job title of “Senior”. I know I'm technically not, but that's because the company is lagging behind actually promoting me. I am definitely Senior standard in my day-to-day. I packed all my eggs in one basket at one place I really wanted to work. Hyper-growth, pays 95% in salary in my country. I didn't want to miss out. In my first interview with the talent acquisition interviewer, I said I made $135k and am expecting a raise, so want at least $150k. I also probably _shouldn't_ have lied on my resume, but I didn't expect…

I work at a warehouse, max target is 85 an hour and minimum target is 65. If you hit minimum target you get harassed, get called the favourite word “lazy” by managers. Even some of the work slaves (back lickers) started using this at others who refuse to bend over to work like slaves. Get written warning for checking the time on your phone. Disliked because you answer back. My favourite one “haha you look exhausted how are you tired?” “Well it has been 12 hours doing heavy lifting and 3000 steps, while you sat down watching netflix” They want us to hit maximum target for the whole week, every hour so they can get £10 extra lmafo.

I realise that different laws apply to different countries, and that is why I asked in the sub of my country first. Might not receive an answer there though, so asking here as well. I work for a company that is really budgeting at the moment. They're getting production costs down by all means so they fired a bunch of people and they're constantly trying to screw the remaining people over when it comes to money. I resigned a month and a half ago and they don't want to officially confirm when my last day is. It's ridiculous. My manager keeps telling me that he can't get a hold of HR and that they're “being a nightmare”. I just found out that other managers are telling their subordinates the same exact thing about HR being a “nightmare”. I know that my company gives out scripts to managers to say certain…

I’m a salary employee for a large healthcare corporation. As managers, myself and 3 other colleagues handle a large number of issues from ~20 medical centers on a daily basis. Without getting into too much detail, our department provides support for about 1500 patients a day and we operate 24/7. To divide up the constant bombardment of issues, or “escalations” as they’re referred to, we work weekends on a rotational basis in addition to being available in the evenings and on our off weekends. We are given “comp days” for working the weekend (2 weekdays off a month). The work is stressful and constant and the comp days are the only saving grace. On one of my recent comp days, an administrator from one of the medical centers attempted to get ahold of me. I was unavailable because I was sleeping and this resulted in a complaint to my direct…
