What is the point of this article?? https://www.nytimes.com/2022/07/30/opinion/jobs-teenagers.html
Mostly about walmart so far but want more help. I follow many many walmart pages on different platforms and have been taking notes for about a year. About policies they impose, staff treatment, customers, employee complaints and likes and I thinking I wanna write a book about the wicked ways of good ol Walmart. Show the general public what the company and themselves as customers are actually like. The seemingly harmless but actually quite devious and evil policies they use on employees. I know it's not all bad and I want to reflect that too. So anyone interested in participating be it interview, telling your story, stuff the general public dont know please message me. I'd love tto include anyone who wants to. You dont have to be named if you dont want but if you participate and want to you will be mentioned. You guys rock.
I hate my job but too scared to leave
Long story short; my boss is a bully and a thug. She is a complete psycho. This (amongst many other reasons) is why I’m going to quit my job and start my own business. It’s not the starting my own business part that scares me. It’s the boss who will see it as competition to her and get very upset and angry. I’m terrified at what she is going to say/do when I tell her Im leaving. Has anyone had a similar experience? How did it go? How can I grow some balls?
I’m starting to feel better. Yesterday was scary. 103.6 and shaking. But work sent me all over the place the last few weeks.
Disciplinary Meeting
How do these usually go? My company have been on my ass for the most petty things lately and I feel like they are trying to get rid of me due to lack of work I have received an invitation for a disciplinary meeting in which they state “has been convened to provide a suitable opportunity for you to respond to these particular allegations” However, they have already deleted my work email and have nothing rostered on for me for the week I’m assuming they have already made up their mind and are just doing this to cover their ass Am I wasting my time by attending? What is your experience with disciplinary meetings? And what advice can you give me? Cheers in advance
So I am currently trying to find a new place of employment after working seven years at my current place of employment. I moved to a different state to help get a new facility up and running back in 2020 and I feel like now I am being pushed out the door. Management has become toxic and if you're not in the clique that all worked together at a competing company then you don't belong. My direct boss was let go while I was being trained to take over his job and then they decided to not fill it. That's an extra 30k a year that I was screwed out of. Now they even refuse to tell me where I belong in the company after I get our inventory (in a 1 million square foot facility) verified and counted. I have yet to tell anyone in management I am looking…
Basically what the title says. TLDR at bottom I work third shift specifically because that’s what works with my family dynamic (one kid in school one kid not fiancé does 2nd shift). During my interview I made it clear that I can’t work between 1pm and 11pm on weekdays. When I was hired I was told I’d get hired at 16 after training I’d get 17 and a month after that I’d get between 18-20 based on my performance. I was alone after 2 days they said my trainings done. Didn’t get the 17 until a month later. That month I msgd the boss and told him how I enjoyed working there and to let me know what I could be doing if anything better. I mean who doesn’t want 20? I never received a reply. I asked another time a little later. Again no reply. The month was over…
Almost every day my phone suggests articles like “bosses don't like wfh so you people should just give in and go back to the office” and “accepting a better employment offer is bad actually”. Today it's an article in Business Insider about how people who stayed loyal and turned down better jobs are sooooo much happier because they've been promoted 3 times in 2 years and got huge raises. Like really? Did you try talking to someone who wasn't an exec? Because I worked 15 years at my last place, and if we were lucky we got a 2% raise every year. That doesn't even offset inflation. No matter what we did every year we struggled worse than the year before, both of us loyally working for our same employers. Now I make double my previous salary at a new place. DOUBLE. Screw them and their loyalty. https://www.businessinsider.com/meet-the-workers-who-kept-their-jobs-during-great-resignation-2022-7?amp
