Month: July 2023

This could include complaints about being able to realistically achieve one’s goals, issues with pay and more.

I work for a big non-profit hospital with terrible PTO (less than 2 weeks including sick time and vacation) and benefits. Just saw the CEO’s compensation on the 990 forms for the past few years and was gobsmacked. Looking at rough estimates from indeed, this hospital’s medical assistants’ rough annual salary is ~41,600… Between 2018-2021 the base compensation for the CEO grew from 1.4-1.6 million dollars. However, the total compensation, including retirement and so on, fluctuated significantly, with the lowest being 1.7 million and the highest year being 7.6 million. Looking at the form more closely, the biggest factor in that fluctuation was the “Bonuses and incentives” column, with the lowest year’s bonus and incentive amount at 38,000, and the highest being 5.5+ million $. Can someone speak to what the hell these bonus and incentives are? Is this money that the CEO would actually take home? What does taxing…

Do you also believe that for most of the companies you are just a row in an excel sheet and higher ups can anyday delete that row (layoff) without considering how it will impact the employee's life. Loyalty is overrated these days .

Well, it happened. Almost 6 months ago I took a new job as finance in a dealer. Today I submitted my commission sheet for last month and the owner told me he wants to discuss my pay. I thought it was gonna be “Hey man, you’re doing good. Let’s raise your %” but instead I got the “last month wasnt that well for the dealer as a whole, you did good but we might have to change your structure” I do everything here. Sales and finance. Changed the way we advertise, lowered the overhead by almost 8% in my short time here. Not ONE deal has been returned. Everything funded within 72 hours, even on weekends. Our other guy quit almost 2 months ago so I’ve been working every single deal and now the owner expects me to pick up tag and title portions, service complaints and more without an…

Brace yourselves for this one: a part-time position that pays a measly $14 per hour but has the audacity to demand two letters of recommendations just to be considered. Are you kidding me? Is this some kind of twisted joke? It is a simple help desk role. Sitting at a desk. Answering phones. In what world does such a part-time job warrant such a request? Are they looking for an experienced executive? It's a blatant overreach and a significant barrier for individuals who may not have an extensive professional network or previous work experience. This demand for letters of recommendations feels like a slap in the face to those who are trying to get their foot in the door, gain experience, or simply make ends meet. It's an unnecessary hurdle that benefits no one but the company, who probably feels entitled to a sense of superiority and power over potential…

To start, I was actually supposed to start my 2nd day at my new job today, which I though would be a stepping stone to better things, but lost it due to this incident. I'm technically homeless though I live out my car so that's something over my head. I had been looking for work for months wrecking my credit and doing all possible to keep above water. Services have me waiting with no responses for a loooong time, this incident has messed up everything. So a police officer was speeding for some reason, chasing/trying to get somewhere not sure but that's irrelevant. Why I am pissed off is because this idiot who can't drive had rammed my car, which pushed it into some equipment & metal pipes on the side damaging my right tire. Hit and run into my vehicle. “Protect and serve” it says on the car. Damage…

Again, I work at Potbelly. No idea why my boss doesn’t have a schedule posted online for anyone. I had days off for the fourth. While away, I e-mailed my boss requesting a pic of next week’s schedule thats’s hung up in the store. She hasn’t responded, so I haven’t been to work since getting back home. Advice on what the hell to do? I have bad anxiety so I don’t really wanna just walk in the store and confront anyone about this.

So found out why I haven’t been getting paid. Apparently some weirdo been doing shit, and deleted my bank account info for my direct deposit, I’ve also noticed on my pay stubs that the way I get paid, the information keeps changing… So instead of going straight to my bank via Direct Deposit, it went to “Wells Fargo” before, I don’t have an account there btw. And during this period of not being paid for two weeks, it only had a checking number and NONE of my bank information for Direct Deposit… So this went on until I noticed I wasn’t being paid (I had a recent 6 days off, so I was expecting to be paid for one day, but it didn’t trigger any concern for me, because I thought it would go on next paycheck.) onto the second week of not being paid, it finally hit me, “Jeeze,…
