Month: July 2022

Yes. Yes I am. I need more money to house and feed my family. You haven’t given it to me, so I found it elsewhere. I’ve been at my company for 4 years and if somebody else is gonna come in and pay me a lot more to do another job. I’m gonna take it. I’m not here because “we’re a family” or because “I LOVE SaaS platforms and it’s always been my dream to work at one.” Lol. Fuck you pay me.

I’m an American working for IKEA abroad. My brother suddenly passed last month and it’s been a nightmare time for my family and I. My boss called me into a meeting yesterday and told me to shut the door. He addressed my attitude and energy recently saying I needed to move on from my “personal tragedy” and get back to work, he closed with “I don’t want to have this conversation with you again.” Ps. I was denied bereavement leave which is “only applicable to spouse or parent.” Instead attending my brothers funeral back in the states was deducted from my paid vacation days.

Started a new job that told me I get paid 15 an hr on probation only to find out on my first day it’s 13. Ok great I still wanted to stick it out because I was told starting off probation is 20 an hr, that too was a lie. It was an incentive for the pandemic that ended recently. On top of that I was only supposed to work 10-5 yesterday but at the last minute what was supposed to be a day of training turned into opening day and became a 10-7:40 job can jobs just add hrs like that without your consent ? If we refused to work would of been fired.

As titled. He wants me to stay back after work to watch the course with him and then teach him about things he doesn't understand. He guilt tripped me for not staying back when he asked. I'm hoping he won't ask again, but he probably would. And he tried to get me to come back to the office at 9.30 at night to help him fix a computer issue. All this after saying I'm too stupid to get further education. :/

Ok Reddit hive-brain, I'm looking for a bit of advice… Here's the situation… I'm trying to get a critical operation out the door (Security awareness for SOC2) and the VP in charge of the bulk of employees is doing everything he can to not have to have his folks take a lousy hour a freaking year broken into bite-sized chunks to do it. At this point, I'm 6 months behind and he's still refusing to make decisions/blocking me when he gets a chance. This same VP has a tendency to throw people under the bus with the CEO (who has a reputation as the stereotypical “crazy bitch” that flies off handle and fires people at the slightest provocation – Steve Jobs would be proud). I guarantee that if we start losing clients because our SOC2 report is crap, he'll go into this mode. Hence, my question… How would you pull…
