Month: November 2022

Almost a year ago I slipped and fell on the ice in our yard at work. It had snowed that day and the yard guy hadn’t gotten around to sanding it all-he had other things to do. When I fell I dislocated my knee and knocked the corner of my kneecap off. I’ve been on compo and all is well there-I finally had surgery yesterday. What I’m pissed about is the fact that my boss seems to be completely ignoring the whole situation. Hasn’t acknowledged my surgery, hasn’t checked on me, etc. I am a manager and have been working in the same office as him for the past couple weeks and he seems to flat out avoid me. I just don’t get it.

I've recently realised how the corruption, and bullying off management has been affecting me, my boss is a narcissist who loves to put his tendrils inside everyones head and the effect it has on my self esteem is not worth my job. So I've decided to rebel, I've decided I dont care if I'm fired. I just wanted to share a snippet of the altercation with my manager that lasted for over an hour. My manager was shaking like a leaf. Him 'if you dont like it leave' Me 'I cant claim benifits if I leave' Him 'well your not getting sacked' Me I'm an empath that's highly sensitive to the motives of corrupt individuals so any attempts to steal my self esteem result in them losing theirs because every manipulative tactic they use opens up their weaknesses to me, fear of losing my job must be abandoned for this…

Working 40 hours a week till the bitter end sounds like a horrific purgatory. Is there anyway I can financial sustain myself without being a slave to the system? Without the exploitation of others? Is it even possible?

I’m returning from Thanksgiving holiday on Friday. I asked off that day, 2 months ago, because I’d be flying and it’s unrealistic to think I could also squeeze in a shift. Not only was I scheduled that day, but I was scheduled in the morning before I’m back in town. These idiots. Everyone else who requested off got off so no one was available to cover. One coworker swapped with me so that I’ll be the closer, however I basically have to go straight from the airport to my shift (gotta wear my uniform on the flight) and I’m still gonna be late by at least an hour from when I’m scheduled. I’m thinking I’ll bring my suitcase and backpack with me to work to prove a petty point.

I work for a non-profit. I am going to change names of the person and the amount of the pay value slightly. This being said, we don't have annual increases and you kind of have to fight for one. My mission since I started (I've worked here for 6 months now). has been for annual increase instead of large increases every 5 years. I feel it helps with retention and appreciation. No one stays 5 years at a place anymore and we can keep people longer if we show constant value (that's my mindset). I got hired on as an executive of Payroll/HR. I run into constant issues where I have to look at the company's needs (obviously). but I fight the good fight for the people who deserve it and I am extremely vocal about we should find a balance that benefits both the team and the company for…

I received the job offer and it was much more than I expected to the point that I’m alarmed My last job started at $27, and increased annually to $32 – this new job pays $40 and also has $600 monthly in allowance for food and gas as a perk for all their employees Ok $32 vs $40 may not sound like a lot but annually is a big difference!!! The establishment is beautiful too I’m TERRIFIED of what stress a $40/hr job will entail!! I know it’s no doctor / lawyers salary but for ME it is a lot!!! Anxiety is blossoming anyone have advice ?!?!? EDIT: In life I started out making 6.75 at a restaurant and life jobs were gradual stair steps up wage-wise, my prior job was a step of stress including past posts before about wanting to quit, posts of crying after I had quit…

Hi Gang, I was wondering was the best approach is? I’m thinking I will be fired soon from my current job, reaching 12 month mark next month, vacation entitlement. What do I need to do to be able to receive EI? From my understanding EI is not paid out to those who are terminated for cause. What do I need to say or do in order to secure EI? Do I need to salt the company? Talk union? Or just start complaining about wages? Also the roles of my company have changed, basically I did a bunch of work that wasn’t under my employment terms of agreement.

Hi antiwork, I’m not sure if this is the right sub, but I think you guys will have good wisdom. This week I had my year-end performance evaluation, and I was rated “off track”. This came as a complete surprise to me. There wasn’t any time where my manager met with me and explained my performance was failing. I looked at my mid-year review and I kept a log of all the times I did the things she told me I could improve upon. I explained these in my year-end review. She seemed to brush them off. I have a month period where I can prove that I am not off track and if not I go into this remediation plan. And after that May be termination. What are some steps I can take to document everything? Should I go to my director (managers boss) and explain why I think…
