I worked at company IPOs during the boom The people who ran the company, VP + C level were completely clueless (up until now). To some it was their first tech job.The churn was incredible, full teams churned in a matter of couple of months.The VP levels were making decisions that were absurd by any standard to anyone at the industry. They hired sub-par talent, because C people hire D people as they cant recognise shitty talent.
Has anyone ever gotten a union started at a law firm or is that even possible? This is for Texas.
So I just qualified for health insurance at my job and I found out that it doesn’t cover any kind of mental health. I’m on mental health meds that I need in order to function. The health insurance company said I needed to contact my employer to ask about them adding mental health to the coverages but I’m not super keen on the idea of outing my mental health issues to the HR department. Any advice on what I should do? Should I just go ahead and ask HR about it?
So I’ve noticed a trend on job sites where a large number of the employers are asking for 5+/10+ years of experience for ENTRY LEVEL positions. Idk how any of them expect to run a business if their too lazy or can’t be fucked to train someone on the job. The other thing I’ve noticed is that employers are getting more and more picky, like why do I need a license to flip burgers down the street from my house?
They like to not give you breaks on a 8-9 hour shift, and then alter your times after the fact to say you got a break that you never got, therefore stealing hours from you. Or call you in on a day you aren't scheduled, and since you can't clock in, you have to write it in on a sheet on thee wall, and they have to manually add your worked hours(and guess how that works out). Got tired of it and complained, implied I might have to talk to someone about it if I didn't start getting paid for every hour worked. Got to work for my shift the next day, got told “you're not working today.” So I go back home, a little while later I get a notification that the new schedule is available, and I see that my hours were cut from 40, down to 6.…
Sorry for the clickbaity title but I’ve never been in a union, only 28 and have had a whole 4 jobs. Walmart, left, and got the anti-union propaganda Two local web hosting companies, paid 60k at first one but they docked my pay so I quit and went to the other one for less on principal, they gave me 3000 in raises over two years so I said fuck off Now I work for a company, not in a union, where I make north of 6 figures (literally more than the median for the position in my area) I have 15 days off, 8 sick day, 4 personal days. I get it for abused positions, but do unions always make sense or is there like a good criteria/ checklist I can look through?
My restaurants parent company is forcing us to put up a “voluntary” sign-up sheet to see who wants to work. Next year I’ve been told it won’t be voluntary to not work Christmas Day for me as a salary manager or my fellow employees that absolutely don’t want to do this. I’m nowhere near religious but the fact that our company is pulling more of our quality of life away from us is atrocious.
