Month: July 2023

was on vacation earlier last month, during that time I was invited to a number of meetings of a local professional organization, comprising of a number of colleagues in my area. I turned them down because I had that vacation scheduled for months (it was actually a baby moon). Reached out to the chair of said employe organization asking if they could cover a large event that would be happening during my maternity leave and they said, “I should be able to, because I never take vacation”. NOT a flex my dude, actually its kind of depressing. I replied, “Great! If you decide to take your extremely deserved vacation anytime before then, I’d be happy to sub- just let me know “. ​ i'm so tired of vacation making people look lazy! Everytime someone tells me that they dont take vacation time, I straight up lecture them. IMO if you're…

In the US currently at least with my set up I can't not work and live so I need to. But currently I am so burnedout and tired at my job I need a change. I don't know if Anti-work is the place or not, but what do you suggest as jobs or income that are just a clock in/clock out low stress job? Currently I am a program coordinator for a graduate program, a project manager for a division and a clinical manager for the clinic located in the grad program as well as the division admin. So I just feel like I need something less. I would like to just go hide in a cabin in the forest but I've got to feed my dog and cat.

Looking for good articles and studies that promote working from home, etc so I can post them on LinkedIn. I'd like to combat all those “why it's good to cry at work” kinds of corporate propaganda that are all over the site. Post links here. Maybe we can affect a positive change.

This is about the company my girlfriend works at. She is an office worker and is tasked with too many things, most notably she manages people's time cards. However the headquarters, which she submits the time cards to, tell her to “fix” cards for various reasons like if they are missing breaks/lunch on them because the employee couldn't take one because of the workload, started a little early or left a little late, and sometimes even if they legitimately worked an hour overtime. I've looked up what is considered acceptable and unacceptable manipulation of time sheets and what they're doing is illegal according to what I've read. This has been going on for a long time, apparently there was also someone before her in a similar role. My girlfriend doesn't like doing it either but she has to do what they tell them, she said the people at headquarters made…

After 2 years, I’m ready for a new adventure. I sit here every day, even now, dreading the customers and the tasks I’m supposed to accomplish. Though the agency I work for is fairly chill, I disagree so much with the organization, industry, and their pursuit of more more more everyday. Insurance sucks. It’s the moment I envisioned with quitting this job, but I actually really like my boss and coworkers and they depend on me so leaving is going to be awkward as fuck. But I’m going crazy here so it has got to happen. I typed up the letter but I’m not sure if I should email it or hand it to my boss physically on Friday. I usually don’t care as much but this job and boss and been good to me for the most part; it’s just time for me to move on. What is the…

I work in healthcare and I've been busting my ass working double shifts, and I have been pestering my Director to add my hours. I get my first check this Friday(07/07) and she has neglected to add hours from the last pay period when I first started working. See screenshots for more detail. Any pick up shifts come with a $100 bonus and I've worked several that she isn't including. I have multiple brief conversations over text where I tell her the exact days and shifts that I have worked. On the 3rd she asked for all of that information again and did not add half of them. I'm over 50 hrs and she's only adding in 36 LOL AND to top it off, I had a legal predicament on the 4th and she's now threatening to fire me? After mismanaging my timesheet? How do I word things to let…

To put a long story short, My job is asking me to do something that requires travel, and a lot of extra work. Work that I am capable of doing, but was not mentioned in the interview process and not explicitely listed in my responsibilities. I've mentioned that I am willing to do it, but only if my compensation is adjusted to reflect the added responsibility. They stright up said no. Either I do it or get fired. If i didnt just buy a house a month ago, I would have given a colorful exit speech and told them to fuck off, but I can't lose this job and risk losing my house. I dispise this job and have been looking for new opprotunities since my 2nd week here. Nothing in the pipeline yet. Basically: fuck these people.

I’ve been at my company for almost two years now and over the past year I’ve experienced ups and downs on the way I’m treated. My team is very lean compared to the wider division that we sit under and my two “managers” (I directly report into one of them and she directly reports into the other but since I’m the most junior I basically report into both). Those two have been working together for years and are very close. You can imagine what it’s like for someone like me who, is at the associate level, and also hasn’t known them both for that long feels. I am constantly the third wheel, talked down to, teamed up against. Despite being told “we aren’t trying to team up against you”. I’ve been told that I need to “use your brain and think” on projects that I need help on but my…
