Was watching the office on peacock recently. There is an episode where the warehouse workers are trying to unionize. Holy crap l, the anti union rhetoric/threatening jobs from Jan is insane. Like, if a member of corporate from a company said that out loud, it would be a nightmare for them. Just reminds me of what happened with Amazon and Starbucks and thought it was a fun thing to ponder.
I had an incident with a co-worker last night, he was making threats to “beat my a**” not his first time either hes threatened at least three other co-workers as well. So like any mature adult I didn't engagein the behavior and separated myself. I cooled off, gathered mythoughts and went back to have a conversation with my co-workerbut it ended just as well as the first interaction. At this point I called my boss and informed him that threats were being made again and he said he'd handle it. My co-worker ended up making ahuge mess and being that he was making threats and to the best of my knowledge nothing about the issue earlier in the night had been resolved I wasn't going to put myself in a position that could potentially end in a violent manner. Fast forward to this morning and I'm getting fired for failure…
I just learned this word and thought I would share. I’m confidant it beautifully summarizes many of our work environments here.
Big money at my place is like, it's time to return to the office. We have a 6 floor office building but we need to condense the people we have to use less lighting and AC and cleaning staff needs to just 2 floors. We have been working from home since covid started and now I need to return to the office 1 day a week.. I'm only upset because the reasoning is upper management wants to see our faces.. it's the 3rd week of return to onsite one day a week.. I haven't seen anyone other than my direct boss. It costs me gas to drive to work, car maintenance to keep the car going to work, clothing and laundry to run the monkey suit that gets no attention.. lunch packing.. and I'm nowhere near the bathroom….. When we go to the office everyone wants to just stand around…
Hi all, I genuinely want to have your opinions. I must be like some of you, dispassionate about my job, don’t love my career, am not fulfilled. It’s not horrible don’t get me wrong. I feel like I’m complaining about a good thing and just need perspective. Job is in finance, talk to people all day long, am good at it. I have 6 years relevant experience and about 8 total years of a career in this industry. 2 years at current company. TC=$120k. I was promoted after about a year. Was up for a 2nd promotion this past month but didn’t get it. It would have put me in middle management but I am now still and Individual contributor. Never expected to get promoted so quickly. Consistently at the top of the department and praised by management. Get to wfh, solid benefits, and I occasionally enjoy the job. I…
