Boss wanted to buy my lunch a couple days ago, I had brought lunch and told it it's fine I have mine. He was very sure he really wanted to buy me lunch. I agree and thank him. I come into work today to find he took $20 off my commission for lunch…. red flag much? Still not the only red flag though. Looking for a new job now but gotta stay here till I find somthing.
We just had a perfect example in San Francisco of a huge office building getting offered 20% of it's original cost to the company that owns it. A massive commerical real estate building getting devalued into the gutter. Don't be fooled by anyone who says going back to the office is about building teams and creating community. No. It has nothing to do with humanity or what's going on between your two ears. Its about the space you fill with your butt in a seat in the building your company is paying for and now can't afford. You are a paper weight, a trash can, a toilet. Your presence in the office is just to make sure that there is a reason to have an office. These companies sign long leases, and they are losing a shit load of money on them. Don't get me wrong, this will be devastating…
From Artificial Intelligence – BARD Here are some skills that people will need to get jobs 10 years from now: Critical thinking and problem-solving: As Al becomes more sophisticated, it will be able to automate many tasks that are currently performed by humans. This means that people will need to be able to think critically and solve problems in order to stay ahead of the curve. Creativity and innovation: In order to stay competitive, businesses will need to be constantly innovating. This means that people will need to be creative and come up with new ideas. Communication and collaboration: As Al becomes more integrated into the workplace, people will need to be able to communicate and collaborate effectively with machines. This means that they will need to be able to understand how Al works and how to use it to their advantage. Data literacy: In the age of big data,…
I noticed a lot of the posts here are aimed at more essential jobs, and I def feel for those getting unfair treatment in those workplaces. I also feel a little bit of guilt of my position and how I'm not very “happy” even though I don't struggle finanically. For context I'm 29 in tech sales, last year my base was 75k and I made 130k after comission. I just recieved a job ffer for 140k base and 320k On Target Earnings (what I make IF I hit 100% of plan). I also have another job offer coming down the pipe soon that will be similar (115k and 235k OTE). I'm grateful that I have these options, but I'm not very “happy”. It's just a job and I use the income to pursue things outside of work. Anyway, I want to eventually quit work and start my own business and…
So I work for banquets and many times they overstaff with these people from a staffing agency. The staffing agency is owned by one guy who seems to have some contract with out hotel. All of the workers he has are from countries like Venezuela or Colombia and cannot speak English at all. I talk to them using Google translator and they can still do the job so it's not like I mind. I was talking to one of them using translator and then he told me he gets paid in cash and has no documents. I don't know why he would tell me that but I was surprised. Like how a big hotel can do that through an agency, like they never get audited or anything? How do they conceal the payroll expenses, do they just mark it off as something else?
I work for a company that's been STRUGGLING to retain employees over the past ~2 years. The owner constantly blames management and says “people don't leave companies, they leave bosses”. I have a strong urge to send her an article like this just to see what she says back: https://brightmatterhr.com/knowledge-centre/blogs/key-employee-retention-strategies-to-keep-top-performers/ Only because she does NONE of these things and actually prevents the management team from doing them as well. I mean, my onboarding was an absolute joke and I provided feedback on how to improve it and was actually told maybe I was the problem, not the training program. Why are business owners so stubborn? And what do you think is the most important point from the article above? Maybe I'll just address one first to start slow and see what happens.

UPDATE: Vacation denied
Link to original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/1305ykn/vacation_denied/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=ios_app&utm_name=ioscss&utm_content=2&utm_term=1 During her denial of leave, my boss stated that is was “policy” for an employee to not use vacation during their final two weeks. I decided to look up this policy myself. It states “employees transferring to another state agency are not required to work their last days and can use accrual”. She stated that she will “try” to let me go the final day I requested but can’t promise anything. I will have everything wrapped up by that point, so if that is her final move I will reveal the policy and threaten to contact the HR department who just finished investigating her. BOOM! Happy update and happy Friday!
