Month: July 2023

Working as janitor at library. These days were hard for me. Always demanding more time and efforts. I've been overworking for three months(and I'll be overworking forever with this.) and it doesn't effect to my salary. I wake up dawn(4:50) and go to store to work everyday. Library isn't big as college but it's quite big and I think it's consuming my energy and life but I have no choice but to work here. Where I'm living don't have much jobs and I don't want to walk over 1 hour to work. Especially when weather is cold or hot. Thr most annoying thing is my boss. He doesn't look into my reports. The store has some beverages and snacks, coffee machine, Ice generator etc for customers conveniences. I always makeb a report to him every day about the amounts of stocks(beverages, snacks, coffee beans, paper cups) and progesses of cleaning,…

Went to lunch during training and didn’t go back… because my trainer made me ask for permission to go to the bathroom.

Been working at this company for 3 years and I‘m (26) the youngest in my team, most of my colleagues are between 50-60. I‘m honestly just here for the money and to improve my skills. Earlier this year around 30% of colleagues were laid off and the CEOs told us there are no salary increases, events, trainings or bonuses planned for 2023. No one liked how they just laid off so many colleagues and friends and the future was looking grim for everyone left behind. I stayed either way. It sucks, but I did not want to go through interview hell again. Fast forward to summer 2023. Last week they organized an after work party with food and drinks to raise morale and it was honestly fun. I hung out with my team mostly and noticed they kept pointing at people who were standing 10m away from us and excitedly…

Currently at my 7th job in two years. I’ve never been fired, and I usually stay at least 4 months before feeling suffocated by workplace failures and this time- I haven’t been trained on 85% of the position before being expected to perform serious work at 100% understanding. This is a cyclical issue, and they have either fired or lost more employees than I’ve had jobs in the past few years. The position was advertised as an administrative assistant position, but it’s an entirely different title and more intense scope of work. I’m feeling lost, have shit self esteem from all of this, and I’m realizing this is the exact goal of this fucking system. I have a degree, and I’m currently getting my Master’s online. As part of my recent studies, I have taken Human Resources Management and been forced to confront what I want from a position, as…

Yes it's a pun. That doesn't make it untrue.

Hello, curious to know if anyone else has had this problem before (I’m almost 100% sure someone has) I work as a store manager l for a certain telecommunications company in Ireland, and we were promised a €500 loyalty bonus at the end of June 2023 for 6 months of continuous service, with another €500 being paid out in December for the same. The end of June has been and gone, I’ve asked senior management numerous times what the story with the bonus is, to a lot of vague answers, ‘it’s being sent in the post’, ‘it’s being handed out in person by the CEO’ etc. Here comes the kicker Today after asking senior management (HR, area manager) they have said that they don’t know what’s happening, and to ask the CEO directly, which I have done. 20 minutes after reading my message, he calls me to inform me that…

Because, I believe all companies and employers should be held to the same ethical standard, one much higher than is currently enforced. And not whatever poor excuse for one we work on now. I also don't think I should have to work myself to death to provide for my family who never sees me because I am working obscene hours and never home.
