Month: July 2023

Anyone who has a marketing background will likely agree, nobody other than your direct report understands what you do and even then, they have no clue about workload. I work as a marketing coordinator for multiple resorts. My day to day involves graphic design, website management, video and photo editing, digital asset management, email marketing, and whatever IT clerical or administrative tasks my boomer coworkers come up with. I’m burnt out. My boss is a director and works remote. She makes priority lists for me as if she knows exactly what my workload is. Design a flyer for this, signage for that, upload a TB of photography and video assets here, why isn’t it done in thirty minutes? I’m so tired of this. I left a field I loved because I was not receiving the mentorship I thought I deserved and now I’ve regressed even further just spinning my wheels…

Worked at a commercial property management co for a fairly large area. I was let go on 6/22 and received a paycheck about $300 less the next day which is when we normally get paid. We’ll I still worked a full week before that and three days the next week. Did not receive payment today. Now I didn’t think this would be an issue but I didn’t dock my hours. Granted it was a 8-5 job m-f. Is there anything I can do?

I work in the health sector. I’ve been needing more experience in the area I want to work in so I asked around in local hospitals to volunteer. One of the managers said he passed on my info to one particular hospital that’s been understaffed. They contacted me, offered a casual job in an area I have 2 years experience. Sounded like a good deal. I plan to do the volunteer hours on the days off. But every step of the way they’ve thrown more paper work and hoops. They had me sign up with a work agency which I’ve never had to do in the past. I had to sign three different police check forms and had me re do the same work fitness document four times over. Now they are checking my references which is taking some time. They’ve called me twice asking for more to look up…

Awhile back I got into with someone on here, about earning more money, ' 'You want more money then earn it.' Then in the next reply.' 'Doing extra and long hours don't entitle you to more money.' This has been eating away at me because it seems to be true as I'm stuck in a position that they refuse to raise the wage for. How in the free world are suppose to make any kind of money, if working hard can't even get you a slight promotion? It exhausting.

At my job, We have two positions. One position is a lower/basic position which gets the basic jobs that come in. The higher/advanced position (my position) gets the advanced jobs (we can do basics but most of the time we don't, they are given to the lower position) I recently found out a lower/basic person, whose only worked there for a year, was making just a few dollars less than me. SHOULD OR SHOULD I NOT BRING THIS UP? I have some people saying no, it makes you seem like your entitled and others say yes you should because thats how you feel and its a valid point if i'm in the higher up position. Also Should I focus the discussion on how i've grown since my employment, what about the extra work I do compared to everyone else? (in my case yes, i do extra work than others when…

I've read all the latest posts of this sub. What I understood from all this is that the USA isn't the land of dreams anymore. Most young Americans live paycheck by paycheck and struggle to survive and feel so exhausted and tired, working so hard for nothing. Workers rights in general seem to be much worse than most countries of Europe and most bosses do whatever they want. Inflation is unaffordable and there's no free healthcare or higher education. How do you stand all this ? What's your plans for the future?
