I’m grateful for my company saying no to a raise

So my company choose me, a junior software engineer, to be expertise lead of a new team since all of them would be new hires. They told me that it was a big career opportunity and I was at first terrified but in a couple of weeks everything was running smoothly. I was the reference and the go-to-guy whenever a new junior or a new senior had any doubts about our software. After three months of my new position, I asked my manager for a little raise (+3k€). It was the raise that I would get anyway in six months when I reached the two year mark in the company but I thought that I deserved that now since my new position and responsibility and all that. They said no. That they weren't sure I was up to the role. That I had to wait half a year. I was…

Bit of an older story but..

So.. Premise! When Covid-19 began, Hungary went into a lockdown for health workers(Hospital staff, and the like), meaning they could not legally quit their jobs while the crisis situation is established. Now, picture me, a wee young lad, freshly dropped out of university – I managed to get a System Admin job at the local Hospital! I was exstatic, words could not describe how happy I was to land something like this. The pay was abyssmal, but it was good experience. My supervisor and boss seemed normal enough at the interview. About a week passes, and the cracks start to show. Hospital staff is HEAVILY overworked, and incredibly stressed, meaning that any and all inquiries to the IT office were demanded pretty much. This pissed off my supervisor, who ended up passing his anger right through me. It took me about a month of getting insulted and verbally abused for…

This might not be exactly antiwork related, but you all should know that the Supreme Court will be taking away our right to vote this October, and handing it over to State Legislatures.

Was I fired or laid off

I’m 20 and I worked at a grocery store. I was 40 days into my probation. A few days before my boss cut my hours so I had five days off and told my coworkers I sucked at my job she thought I was autistic. I didnt handle it well but the management said they agreed she was out of line and ask if I want to pursue it. I say yes. I come to work today a week later and it’s my bosses first day back from vacation but she’s not there. Her boss is there and the manager. They walk me outside and say I’m not a good fit for the company. They wouldn’t give me a reason but gave me a check for the next three days I was scheduled. They said I failed my probation that still had a month. I wasn’t good at my job…
