Month: October 2022

I work for a nationwide franchise, we'll call them… HDS. I work as a Graphic Designer. For just this franchise. There are 400+ franchises across the Canada. I designed a floor decal back in March to replace Covid stickers that were being removed from the floor. They were sent to Head Office to print and send back to us. Yesterday, Head Office sent out updated store posters for every store to print and replace the old ones with. One of the designs is mine from the floor decal I had done. It's 100% mine. I opened both files and compared, they're the EXACT same. Head Office has their own graphic designer for nationwide stuff like this. And they straight up took my design. In my contract, it says nothing of intellectual property. I'm basically “Employee #275” and the only difference is my pay and my title. Nothing in the contract…

Calling all remote workers: I just came across (so it's new to me) something called a mouse jiggler. I don't want to break any rules but I haven't seen a previous post about it so I thought I'd share. Just search “mouse jiggler” in Amazon (not sure if posting a link would cause me to break any rules.) My work laptop goes to sleep and logs me out after 5 minutes and it's preset. I just find it really annoying, especially since I'm at home and don't have to worry about privacy concerns. Obviously don't use this in public or at the office but I finally have freedom to use the bathroom and not be logged out when I get back to work, or god forbid I grab a snack. Hope this helps!!!

This is definitely the sub that I expect will have some good answers. Two chicks at the same time ain’t it. You wake up tomorrow with one million dollars in your bank account. No one else knows. It is yours. What do you do with it? I’m asking as I am trying to put together some anecdotal evidence for UBI and the benefits to our society. Thanks!

Basically going to a round table to discuss problems we have with company Work at a well known payroll company. 3 letters And enDs with P We were told no Col increase We were just forced into the office 3 days a week (about 5 months ago) The pay starts of at about 18.50 once a year raise of about 3 percent that is prorated for the first year. They constantly lose staff due to pay and inability to promote without having to wait 18 months. Just wanna know ways I can present this in a professional manner

We are being sold to an outside vendor so that the main company can save money because they “lost a billion dollars” last quarter. They mean in profit but they don’t say that. They have already jacked rates on customers to try to cover those losses, and now they are trying to save by outsourcing our work. Are they allowed to do this without our consent? Also, if we don’t want to go to this new company, would that really qualify as a voluntary resignation? They said no about severance. We are losing our pension. Losing out on PTO days. And our benefits will definitely be impacted. This is pretty much being done against our will. Just doesn’t seem right to me.

I was just “fired” today in a meeting with my supervisor and their boss. I work in an office environment (hybrid wfh) and it was over zoom. They said that I was being terminated—but they didn’t have the date or final approval yet. I work for a mid-size company that is owned by a mega-bank. They said they are just waiting for it to go through HR from the bank side. I was very confused and asked if I needed to bring all of my equipment to the office today. They said no, not yet. Just continue working as normal until we have the termination date. They said it could be a few weeks. LOL. Ok. So, I’m getting fired but expected to bust my ass for a few weeks? I should just stop working since the outcome will be the same, right? Maybe just appear online and send a…

After 4 months of training and evaluations they decided I can keep the job and the old man is going to be fired in the next 2 weeks. But I have been applying to others jobs and prob I will quit in 3 weeks. Do u think they will hate me?
