Month: October 2022

So, I know a way to live /travel without working as much, and I thought maybe you guys would want to know about. It’s mainly for guys, since I’d consider it unsafe for a woman to do alone/without a trusted male partner: -Buy a motorcycle (preferably, insurance is cheaper, gas is cheaper, parts are cheaper, everything is cheaper) +Bonus points if it’s a old Harley (I’m biased) -By a back pack, and a sissy bar (look it up) -Only travel with what you can carry in back pack. Mainly a pair of work clothes, cigarettes, hammock, and a blanket -If in the northern states, only do so in spring/midsummer. It’s rough any later -All around, it should cost right around 5k. The bike being the biggest expense -A cell phone -The balls to go into chaos with no plan -plane ticket too a southern state (TN and lower) Alright. So…

I have been up all night for no reason. I am genuinely tired and cannot sleep. So I'm taking a sick day. I know it sucks for the job, but damn I'm not a young whip anymore. I am adding this to my calendar so every October 15th is “Annual Call Out Day”. The reason it doesn't fall on a weekday automatically is because weekend workers need days off too, and often times we find ourselves scheduled 6 or so days in a row, only to get maybe one day off, then back to another three or four day stretch. It's miserable and there's no end I'm sight. But there are solutions and this is one of them. Good….morning, sort of…and hey to everybody across the pond and beyond

I was told during an interview for a job… I suppose slavework will do then, where do I sign up?

I work in a restaurant as a server. A coworker had a party tonight that I and another coworker were invited to, so we asked the night off like 2 months ago. About 2 weeks ago they denied our requests to have the night off, so today rolls by and right at open we both called out. Managers were pissed, we’re not gonna get fired, but we’ll probably get writeups. Can I refuse to sign a write up and is that a good or bad idea.

I’m extremely happy for our new hire and thankful to have their help – I found this out through no fault of their own at all. But I’m the one who’s supposed to help train this person and they’re coming in at my level with a salary 13% higher than mine. EVEN BETTER the range for our level’s pay also got spilled to me and I’m slightly under the middle of it. They get to come in much closer to the top. I’ve worked for nearly four years and built my skills, earned certifications, written SOPs and done so much, and the person who we are converting from a contractor who doesn’t have those skills (but again is otherwise a good employee, willing and capable to learn) gets to have a significantly higher salary. And I have to take all my experience and just stuff it and be paid less.…

I’ve been working for this company for 2 years, doing lot of overtime,always trying to help everyone, great performance review each year… For nothing. They hired a senior analyst via a recruitment agency, this person will be paid more than me and me, simple analyst, will have to train this person who is supposed to know better. They even got the audacity to ask me to mentor him. I feel really sad and angry about this whole situation… I just wanted to vent, thanks for reading me.
