With ILWU on strike in Canada container and bulk ships sit at anchor. The Longshore union has supported my union before, now it's our turn. The employer is pushing the federal government to end the strike by designating them as critical infrastructure, denying their right to strike.
I've been hired as an 'IT-support' / 'Customer support' specialist or w.e. In the two months i've been working here, i haven't done a single thing pertaining to this job description. I haven't taken care of a single ticket, or answered a single call. In stead, i've written an app for reporting/documenting, because the reporting platform was slow asf. Oh, i also made the reporting platform faster once i got in to it to fix another problem in it. I haven't gotten an introduction to anything and this week i've worked for approximately 3 hours total, just because im waiting for my boss to have a meeting with me pertaining the migration of the internal domain controller. And yes, that's gonna be my next job apparently.
You can barely afford rent. They spend three generations of your families earnings on a single Yacht. Will you fight humanities predators, or are you sheep? They know they kill us. They laugh. Will you let them define the words, choose the engagements, control the narrative? Can you still dream? Or do you believe we should worship the Greedy? They print money while we struggle to pay rent. The system is carefully controlled and designed. They do not let us have social media presence. They own the news. If you start thinking, you lose your job. If you start organizing, you are silenced. If you become important, you are disappeared. Cancer can easily kill us individually. We have to collectively become angry and take action. We have to get everyone involved. We have to change the the world, or the status…
I have recently been fired from a job I was at for just over 2 months. I’m really upset over the whole thing and have driven myself to migraines thinking and worrying over it. I was terminated for: Asking about notice period Not having computer switched on Talking too much Having handbag on table However, the notice period was asked as part of a follow up conversation with my line manager, who had just told me to start applying for other jobs because I was due to be laid off at the end of the month. The computer wasn’t switched on because the (same) manager had asked me to shadow another employee who worked on telephones – so, my job was just to listen for the day. Talking too much is just totally made up because I’m very introverted and actually struggled to talk with people past ‘hello, good morning’.…
So here’s the low down, I work at staples me and associates usually work 6 or 9 hours shifts and it was good until a couple months until we lost a lot of people (that will be a moth post later) but anyway we work these long shifts just me and my supervisor no break I could take one but I don’t want to leave him alone cause I’ve been left alone to work copy and print many times even though I wasn’t trained and it was stressful enough but one day to add on to the stress our district manager came to survey the store and said we can’t have stools in our department,cause it don’t promote productivity, which is ridiculous why can’t I be comfortable at work and sit down when we work this long and get pay peanuts at least can sit like today, we had a…
On my first day they told me I could do 9 – 5 as long as the job was done. I was doing 8 – 7, but apparently it wasn't enough. Theu told me I had to do way more hours than my colleagues to justify having a better salary. I thought having more experience was enough. They admitted they expected someone who would be constantly on the phone getting new clients. I'm a freaking engineer. The worst in this I think : I'm the 3rd or 4th taking this job and leaving within the month. The others all quitted, I guess it's a win on my part to be the only one getting unemployment money.
hello! I have been working in a lab for about 10 months. (First job out of college) It’s a very chill job where I do work for about 3 hours a day and then just sit for the remaining 5 hours. Honestly, I get pretty bored and tired easily. I get paid average for my experience and education (though I feel like I deserve more because even though I’m not in the lab all day, I definitely am doing the most.) should I wait until I complete a year to start looking for another job? They also give end of the year bonuses (this January they gave me $1500 even though I’d been working there for a couple of months). should I wait until after they give the bonus? Does it look bad if I leave my first job out of college too early? I honestly just feel stuck here,…
