Jobs in a nutshell
Month: February 2023
PSA – whoever you are, please interview with companies that are looking for in-office / hybrid workers for no reason… Then reject their offer after they put on all that investment… We cannot let our futures be dictated by some out of touch boomers who've stolen from our futures. With all the layoffs that are happening they might be getting the impression that the power is finally Tipping back in their direction. Tell them to dream on! I'm not having some computer illiterate boomer tell me to come to the office through a sweaty commute and make me work like a factory worker in the industrial revolution. The more of us that do this, they more they'll realise that remote work is here to stay and resistance will be futile…

What’s up with the Boomer Generation?
What's up with some of the boomer generation and not wanting to do the work and actually read reports despite asking for them? I'm frequently challenged (in a condescending way) or asked to explain something that has been clearly stated in the report. Is it ego? Because they look lazy and stupid to everyone else. Or is it an effort to waste your time?

4 day work week Works in UK
https://www.businessinsider.com/history-4-day-workweek-microsoft-japan-great-depression-2019-11 “Results released yesterday show a recent four-day workweek trial in the UK had 56 of 61 participating companies continuing with the policy. The study, conducted from June to December, included 2,900 employees from a range of industries, with the average workweek around 32 hours and compensation kept the same. The results showed 71% of employees reported less burnout, 39% less stress, and 60% better work-life balance. Fewer workers quit or took sick days compared to the same period in the previous year. Among the 23 companies that shared sales numbers, the average revenue grew 1.4% during the trial. In the US, legislators in Maryland this week proposed a five-year, four-day workweek pilot program in exchange for tax credits for participating businesses. See some companies in the US that currently offer a four-day schedule.”
If you come in five fucking minutes before we stop processing paperwork for the night to close, you're an asshole. “Well we want to keep customers happy and in the door! We need to be as kind as possible and give the people what they want within reason” Says my supervisor who let's everything fucking slide. Who does? I don't. At 6:30 WE are done. We start closing paperwork and we're supposed out at 7. Not 7:05. Not 7:30. 7. O clock. I'm to the point i want to start telling people “hey, we're done processing everything for the night. Please come back tomorrow when you have more time to shop around to get what you're looking for.” I don't think that's rude. I think its honest and they still get what they want. Im not trying to be at work longer than necessary. “Positive expectations” are what we're told…
