Had my annual review

I asked if I was getting a raise. Reason why I didnt get a raise was because they demoted me a couple months ago and they didnt cut my pay. Even though they said I did not get demoted because of my work ethic but because they are going in a different direction. I did not really respond but wish I had the courage to have. What would you have said?

do not accept random gifts/bribes from managers that are usually mean or rude

my work recently hired an ASM outside of the company. don’t want to get into the details about the job, but she’s terrible at what we do. three months in and has never accomplished anything by herself, she’s unnecessarily loud just to be loud, mean, and solves her problems by creating new problems but for other people to deal with. anyway, she’s always rude to everyone but sometimes randomly brings someone either McDonald’s, or coffee, or just random shit she didn’t finish eating. ive watched my coworkers accept these things and she’ll come back 5 minutes after and task them on something she’s supposed to be dealing with herself as her ASM title suggests, and when they decline or explain they don’t know how she brings up the fact she gave them “free” food, and tries to make them feel like shit for accepting what they thought was a gift.…

You need to be in office to collaborate!!!!!

But….I talk on the phone all day with our office overseas, transferring my technical skills. You want me to spend gas money and get dressed up to talk to people that never see me? Are you really going to fire me? Last time I checked, no one other than me works on this process and my backups have either retired, died, or moved to other positions.

What are the happiest jobs out there?

With all of the jobs involved with capitalism where white collar jobs you are sitting behind a desk all day or blue collar jobs where it's physically and mentally draining, what jobs out there are best for your overall well being? ( And yet still most of these occupations you are working long hours.) It seems genuinely hard to find. The reason I am even asking is for the longest time in my life I have been stuck in that loop of indecision of what job I would be happiest with or what career choice to pursue. I always assumed I would strongly dislike any office job because I don't like sitting around all day or being by myself. I always thought a trade job sounds too rough for someone like me and it would ruin my mental health in some way. Since I like socializing, and I don't mind…

From Project Coordinator to Junior PM and Back Again: Overworked, Underpaid, and Betrayed by the Corporate Machine.

I am frustrated, to put it mildly. So I apologize for venting, but I need to get this off my chest and I sincerely hope someone can provide some insight or recommendations on how to move forward. For the past two years, I've been working at an MSP Company as a Project Coordinator. Right from the start, I eagerly embraced tasks like handling switch port configurations, installing and configuring routers, and implementing full-on Point of Sale systems. These tasks were beyond what a typical Project Coordinator role would entail, but I've always been passionate about working in IT and relished the opportunity to learn and gain experience. Unfortunately, I don't have a college degree, but I do have a few certifications, and I truly love the process of learning and growing. A manager from the PMO (Project Management Office) side noticed my dedication and offered me a junior-level Project Manager…
