Month: September 2022

I’ve been working for this small company, less than 10 people running it and I’m the office manager that does everything. Majority of my responsibilities include but not limited to: Writing and designing all of our newsletters Manage the social media (designing, creating content) Inventory/stocking In charge of billing Appointments for 4 providers Getting new clientele for providers Small amount of tax duties Customer support (chat, email, text) I’ve been with the company for almost 2 years and last year I got a 13.1% raise. I’m hoping for (expecting more like it because of the profits I’ve seen) a sit down with my bosses where they’ll hopefully mention a raise and if not I will bring it up but I don’t know how to go about it. I’m very happy at my job but definitely should be getting paid more for the workload. My bosses are great people and constantly…

I went from working five days a week to only two. It's not livable, I'm trying to save up money and now I want to pull my hair out. My boss told me my hours were only wonky because of new hires but I guess I'm the odd one out because the new schedule came out today and the new hires get four days but I only get two. Awesome. Hate this.

Throw away account. This year has been a rough year for me. I work(ed) in a specific industry. I left two jobs due to the environment being toxic. First one, the owner was misogynistic, immediately dismissed my ideas unless they were raised by my male coworker, and vastly underpaid me. The second was toxic and a miserable work environment because one girl there was on an extremely abusive and deluded power trip. I was the seventh person in six months to leave that job. It didn't matter that at either job, I had significantly improved net income and workplace efficiency and was great with the customers. A week later, I found another position, and it was great. Quiet, no drama. Rote work. Not much better pay, but a lot less work than the previous jobs. I had a vacation planned to an island before I started, and when I went,…

To keep them subservient, to silence complaints, to avoid unionizing, to pay them just enough and no more. I would like to see businesses where all aspects of that business benefit from the prosperity of it equally, to recognize that the business is the collection of it's individual parts, each essential to it's success. None more important than the other. None more deserving of profits than the other.

I really don't know what it is as a manager or corporate dick head that compels you to berate a low level worker for sitting down while working. It is an extremely toxic and ineffective behavior that doesn't contribute to ANYTHING. How much money do you really lose when I take a quick sit after a three hour long rush? How does it make a company look bad when a tired worker needs to temporarily relieve themselves by doing a simple action corporate assholes do all day every day when they show up to work? I don't blame American employees for hating their bosses when they get reprimanded for petty shit like this. You think any employee making under $18 an hour gives a flying fuck about you having a problem with them sitting down after dealing with some of the worst people all day or working relentlessly without break?…
