Month: May 2022

So this just happened 3 days ago. I told my director that I was offered another job in the company and I was going to tell them I wanted 20% over my current salary. My director talked to his boss and HR and was told 10% was the highest any internal pay raise could be. I told him that if that was true I was going to leave for an external position because my job type (data science) is in such a huge demand right now that you can basically choose your own salary. He told me that I would not get what I wanted from the internal job offer and that I should either take his or start applying out to other companies. Well I got my offer from the internal team and it was for 26%, 6% higher than I wanted. I told my director that if he…

I worked at a burrito place ages ago in high school. I remember watching the tip jar fill up and asked the manager what we do with it at the end. He said he saves it all and then everyone will use it to go On a camping trip in the summer. I wish this was resource back then. Or that I asked people about this and spoke up, but I was young and inexperienced. This is illegal I assume, and there’s no doubt that guy is a crook and screw him. I didn’t work there too long. Manager called me one day and I said I can’t make it in Today… or ever again . I did learn how to roll a mean burrito though.

I (24F) am so tired. I hate work, yet I'm so attached to it – I think about my to-do list over and over on my days off. I cry and beat myself up whenever I make mistakes. I'm terrified of my boss bc I want her to like me. It's Saturday night and I'm sitting here so anxious about the week ahead, since I took this past week off. What a glorious week it was – but now the thought of going back makes me want to die. I always say work makes me want to die, but haven't actually wanted to die. However, what gets to me is there's no escape from this. I don't really have any skills. Everyone says “freelance” or “start a business” but I have no fucking clue how to do any of that. I need the stability of a 8-5 but absolutely fucking…

Has anyone’s workplace resorted to this? Basically if someone makes it to the end of the week with prefect attendance. They will get fifty dollars; 200 total at the end of the month. Instead increasing wage by 1 dollar. Which might help retain workers already leaving. Most importantly has it actually worked? I have seen no difference at all.

I've heard there's a program where they will basically pay your tuition and you just work part-time. There's a guy on my team who's like 40 something who leaves half-day to go take classes. The job I have now tops out at about $75,000 a year (I make $62,000). I applied for a higher position that would be $60,000 on the low end and $90,000 on the high end. I've seen postings for other jobs at the same “company” that require a Bachelors and a few years of experience that are about $80,000 on the lowest end and $120,000 on the high end. Then if you get to a level 2 for that same job it's more like $100,000-$140,000 Don't get out the pitchforks but I am only 25 and live with my grandma due to the economy being garbage and I'm really trying to just “suffer now so I…
