How Degrowth Can Save the World
I’m new to a role (2 months) but have been with the company 18 years. My trainer gave me about 3-weeks of half assed training, dropped work on my desk that he should have finished in June (I started the role in August) then just abandoned me, despite telling me multiple times that “he’s here to support me with whatever I need” but also laughing at me because “there’s no way I’ll meet my deadlines with all the work I have to finish”.

Now I’m not going back after getting long term approved. I can’t believe the amount of work I put in for a decade only to be treated like a disposable tool when I…
The working class struggle
Someone made a post about employers they definitely WOULDN’T work for, so I thought we should shine some light on “good” (or good enough) employers that you should work for! For the sake of the general sub, let’s try to keep the companies to mid to large size. A mom and pop store in your tiny hometown won’t really help someone on the sub looking for a good business to work for.
