I just got let go from a job making $24 per hour, so during the interview I asked for that. The guy said I wasn’t worth that and he could maybe get me $20 which pissed me off enough that I’m no longer interested in the job even if I get it.
Month: October 2022
I started orientation this week for my new job. It’s my first job with an union. Anyone else think it’s weird to be charged an agency fee if you decide to not be a part of the union? The agency fee and membership fee is for the same amount.
Minimum wage is Bull$hit
The fight for increasing minimum wage is BS and is actually hurting workers. It’s just a distraction to keep us not talking about the real fix a MAXIMUM WAGE. minimum wage means nothing without a max as inflation is a byproduct of increased wages or decreased output. STOP BEGGING FOR CRUMBS WHILE THEY EAT THE CAKE.
Declining job responsibilities
I work at a call center. When a caller demands a manager it escalates to a supervisor. Today I had a call escalate. When I called the supervisor to take the call the supervisor declined to take it stating they are a back up supervisor and wouldn’t get supervisor pay to take the call. I am just refreshed that this back up declined taking on a task they wouldn’t get the proper pay rate for.
I Run My Clinic Alone as a MA
I work at a dr office and they currently opened up 2 other locations in the same town. So they are strapped for money (not my problem). There way to solve there money issue is to schedule only one provider and me. So that means I will have to do reception and lab and MA all by myself. While having patients scheduled there every hour. Making 15 an hour. I asked for a increase in pay since I’m now doing 3 roles and was told no they didn’t have any money for raises at this time. So I have to basically run this whole clinic by myself while the NP sees patients I have to do all the leg work. I want to quit.
Original: My boss won't let me quit to see my sick fiance My boss won't let me quit to be with my sick fiance. My (22M) fiance (21M) currently lives in America, we've been together for 2 years. The plan is that he moves in with me, it's been his dream ever since we started talking about moving in together. I recently got a job at a grocery store, I started off with a year contract with a 2 month trial period. Due to bad performance I got pressured to sign a new contract without being given the chance to read it. This contract lasts 6 months and has a trial period of 1 month. My fiance got very sick, he can hardly breathe on his own. He gets abused by hospital staff for being transgender. I told him that I wanted to be there for him seeing as I'm…
Everyone wonders why no one wants to work anymore. How about giving three and a half years to a company and them not giving a crap! Bring the one that is “so reliable” and “always dependable”, but being denied a raise and a promotion because someone who just started there wants to run your name through the mud? Or having a manager that plays favorites and treats an hourly shift leader the same as one of her salaried managers? Hard work and dedication don't mean anything anymore. It's all about who can kiss the bosses ass the best.
Ah. There it is. The real reason.
