Month: August 2022

I've been searching for a new job recently and have had several offers (didn't take them because most were below what I currently make and on top of that I am already underpaid). But I noticed that for some reason I decided to be honest at some point by checking the disability box, as some common issues are considered disability (IBS, Depression, Anxiety, etc). After that switch, I stopped even getting interviews. A few days ago on three separate applications, I either said no or “i do not wish to disclose” and within the day have an interview for all three. I reccomend you never admit you have a disability until you are hired, and just use plausible deniability like these companies do. Equal opportunity employer my ass.

No, I am not removing them myself. I'm not a fucking doctor and I can't even reach that area. WHAT A C-NT!

Quiet promoting is when you start taking on more duties than your job description states (and screw that “additional duties as assigned BS) or companies letting people go to run “lean” while giving the remaining people that extra work without any additional pay. Companies have been guilty of this ever since I started my working career 32 years ago. I don’t think I have ever had a job where more was not put on to me than what was in my job description. They typically like to dangle the carrot of, “this could mean a promotion for you in the near future”, and it can go on for years. Typically if you ask for an update or a timeline all you will hear back is they are working on it or waiting for corporate to approve it. As usual, they like to spread it across the media if it impacts…

Quiet quitting isn’t doing the minimum, it’s making up your mind to quit then doing near nothing until the employer realizes and fires you. Free paychecks for no work and allows the employee to collect unemployment benefits.

I work in fuckin Florida, in a media job but doing some tech stuff too. I’ve got a relatively cool team but it’s an admittedly conservative company. I’ve been an owner for nearly a decade, still own my own businesses and freelance but wanna knock down some debts + buy a home or whatever. If I can make it 6 months I’d be shocked because I don’t like people, am underpaid and feel like the owners CANT care about me as a human with their political beliefs. I’m a supervisor/manager over my department and one old fart that’s been employed since she was a teen has been problematic since she returned from her health-related leave. She told me to shut up once, and I promptly let my GM know what she had one more old-peoples pass before I handled her accordingly. To begin with, I’d like help to understand why…
