Month: July 2023

Everything is a digital piece of literature. How am I supposed to do anything if i cant talk to the dam recruiter. I swear i get passed up on more jobs than ever before. Not even a phone call. It’s disheartening and disgusting that you have to be so robotic in order to even get an interview. I hate this world and everyone in it. Im just trying to make ends meet. Not change your company.

Just wanted to share my little victory story of not taking shit from my boss. I work in IT and I'm currently compensated as a junior, but for a while now I outgrew those shoes, and during my yearly formal evaluation I asked for a raise. Doing my research, 15% would have definitely been defensible, but I asked for 10% and would have found some number between 5 or 10% acceptable. Bossman would have none of it, gave me a list of reasons why I couldn't get a raise. The best was stupid bureaucracy stuff and the worst ones were really just nonsense, some were even mild to medium gaslighting. So I got nothing. After this the extra tasks kept piling on, advanced tasks like leading group projects and doing hiring interviews. Definitely not stuff that fits a junior pay. Additionally there should be 3 of us in my team…

I see this dot not getting connected a lot of the time with things like “they will be making as much as me to flip burgers!”. Why are you okay making so little? I want to go back to a story about two years ago a co-worker and I where made to go out on a weekend to work. Both under salary so no overtime and they didn’t even let us comp our time to make up for losing part of our weekends. What’s fucked up is my co-worker was making 40k/yr and we found out the work we did paid the company $6,000 for each of us. My co worker had an annual review not to long after this and politely asked what the options for raises where. They immediately turned and gas lit them. Told them it was completely unacceptable to even bring up money in an annual…

Hello, i started working on this company as CNC 7 years ago, they took me with no experience (My first job and first company) and i was working on a CNC Machine 3 axis. I had a person teaching me how to “learn” to work but that person left 3 years ago. When they took me as apprentice my salary was around 1200 euro with no experience at all (I Was with that person that was training me). After all this years i went from 1 Machine, to learning and running when needed (not always) 3 machine CNC + doing Cad-Cam programs and also putting tools, removing tools, changing tools, pretty much i do everything from the start to the end, nobody else can do it or is capable of doing it and if i am sick my machine is turned off. After all this time my salary went up…

Why celebrate when there's white people that call dibs on the land that's already been reserved by the native americans? Why celebrate when the Supreme Court basically took away women's rights to their OWN body and college students needing a debt relief? Why celebrate when our country would rather to spend on $800B on the military instead of investing in universal healthcare and its own people? Why celebrate when capitalism runs so deep in this country that they bribe the politicians through lobbying to adjust their preferences to keep tax-free, and only making them richer?

I work remotely for a giant hospital system. I’ve been in my new role for a month and training has been fully remote. I have an hour of directly zoom training with my manager every day. I dread this hour because she is incredibly mean and hostile to me. Not to mention she has me write out emails while sharing my screen so she can micromanager every word. Last Friday, she yelled at me for sending an email without her approval. I was shaking by the end of our zoom meeting. Im trying to quit this job asap, but maybe getting fired would be better? Thinking about doing bare minimum until their fire me. In the meantime, do I go to HR to document her behavior towards me? Or should I say something to her? Btw, my coworker that started at the same time as me just disclosed that she’s…
