Month: July 2022

And I don't mean doing things in general. I like what I do, it's just the work environment and bureaucracy and all that. For the past 3 years I've been a nanny to girl from when she was 7 to 10 years old. Pick her up from school, help with homework, make dinner, driver her to her tennis classes etc. And just generally hang out with her. It was lovely. No stress, her parents were cool, if I had some errands to run while I was with her, no problem. It was a really chill job. Sure sometimes I'd stay with her till like 7-8 pm but I honestly didn't mind because I easily incorporated my life into that. Now, I'm an unpaid intern in a nursery and will probably look for a job like that soon. Love the kids and everything but the management? And the sudden lack of…

The way we are treated and viewed by higher ups is absolute bullshit. I see people on this subreddit forced to work on vacation, threatened constantly, talked down to – did the world forget that we are all still human beings? There’s posts about bosses threatening pregnant women with “no call no show” after over one hundred days of maternity notice. I’m so sick of this shit. It’s disgusting.

Recently I got invited for an interview with Ethan Gomes the Senior Talent Partner – AMER/EMEA – G&A + GTM based in the USA for the CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE ASSOCIATE (BILINGUAL) – NETHERLANDS, paid 48000Eur per year with great benefits! No company in Europe pays that much for a job that easy. The recruiter is a white Caucasian LGBTQ male. It went OK but I found it weird that I got rejected with my huge experience at my age, with no feedback at all, just a generic email and total silence even after I requested feedback. I checked his socials and 99.9% of his thousands posts with pictures are with white Caucasian people, even his husband is white Caucasian. This dude doesn’t mix with non-white. How could this be possible in 2022? Is the recruiter for a multinational company a white supremacist? When checking the public information available on LinkedIn I…

fuck bosses like this that think its okay to talk shit after u had enough.

Sometimes I get the feeling the people who force others into poverty, saddling them with horrible living conditions and rob them of chances to thrive and evolve are really anti work. They themselves know how bad some jobs are and know fully well no one really wants to do it, they themselves also don't want to do it. So they do everything they can to make sure a big bunch stay miserable and dependant enough so they are forced to do the jobs they're afraid no one would do otherwise. They are truly afraid that if they pay the workers fairly, they could do what they truly believe to ve true: finance their children's education and then there would be no one left to save them burgers or clean their toilets, so they might have to do it themselves or their own children might have to do it eventually because…

I’m asking because I was talking to a friend who told me in an email that he works with a great team and he finds his work fun. I have never experienced “fun” while at work…

Seems sus…I lost my job recently, and in the serverence offer terms, there are multiple paragraphs which effectively state that by accepting this offer, if the company did/does something shady and you get pulled into it, you waive all rights to any monetary compensation for participating in the investigations. During my time there, I'm not aware of any bad practices, but some of their clients/partners had been in the news for shady shit before I joined the company, which makes me question the terms… I thought these terms and practice were banned and deemed illegal a long time ago since they effectively are a threat to former employees which falsely puts them into a contract that removes the SEC incentives for whistleblowers to put shady businesses? At first glance, there is so much uncertainty and risk in the language that they use that my initial reaction is fuck no, I…

So my job is very physical, lots of heavy lifting. I forgot to bring my lunch today (I start b4 most stores open), and there's no cafeteria, just a food automat that doesn't have any vegetarian options. I mentioned my superviser that I got to go to the store on lunch break, and he told me that I'm not allowed to leave the building. It's not a small company at all, and they used to have an actual cafeteria. I somewhat liked my job, but rn I just feel like shit. I also don't know for how long I can get full hours, so today just made me feel like maybe I'll start looking before they can screw me over. Fuck neoliberalism.

I started working in IKEA in May, I really loved it and especially the people I worked with. The problem was that I wasn't fast enough for the manager, even though I gave my all for this job, and every I came back home had to crash in my bed and sleep to atleast make myself food. Today the store haven't even opened yet and I'm fired. People I've told so far can't fanthom how calm I am. I was planning of leaving next month already, on the 13th, I even told my other, lower, manager. It's so weird now, to walk around the store placing items knowing it's my last day here. All the other workers like cashiers all agree with me, that the ammount of work given is impossible to do before lunch (I work 7-12 or 13). They all had to place the items before themselves, so…
