Month: July 2023

My company leadership said they wanted to buy me lunch with some of the staff to “Thank me for my years of work.” I'm being outsourced in two weeks and didn't get offered other positions or anything. In a nutshell, my employment is being terminated. I said thanks, but I'm not interested in getting lunch to celebrate being fired.

Or September 1st. Maybe we can do rollouts for different areas. We need to do something. We can’t just do nothing. We all know something needs to happen, we just aren’t sure what. Don’t give them your money. Don’t pay taxes. Don’t pay your debts. That’s it. If that happens for even one week everything will come crashing down. Individuals hold all the power. Society is comprised of individuals. Nothing works without all of our individual compliance.

I work at a hotel. We had a high level politician check in tonight. I don't want to say who but they are very liberal (so am i, I actually voted for them) and I am 100% sure they get death threats daily. Every manager left hours before they even showed up. I was left alone to help their security team prior to their arrival and deal with everything. Not to mention all the rest of the full house. Am I crazy or should a manager have been there at least very least to help bodyguards? I also learned about this about an hour before everyone bailed. Woulda been nice to at least inform me such a high level person was coming and let me decide if wanted to be in the same building with such a high level target. Am I crazy or is that fucked up?

A couple months ago a finally quit by toxic job. It was sad because at the beginning I loved the job. I actually enjoyed going to work. Then the true colours of the manager showed and she was truly mentally unstable. After being bullied relentlessly by a woman twice my age infront of staff and guests, and nothing being done until a meeting with the 3 of us where half assed apologies were dishes… I quit. The boss smirked, literally smirked, and told me she knew I didn't care about the job. She argued with me then I said, word for word. ” Manager, go fvck yourself.” And walked out. Truly felt liberating.

I’ve been working at the same major insurance company for almost 5 years. It has a decent benefit package as well as a WFH option. I’ve been working remotely for almost 3 years now. The only issue is, my team is managed incredibly poorly and we are micromanaged to death. It feels like I’m on a sinking ship. My department consists of three different teams, under different managers but all three of them can assign inventory at any time. I normally get an email from all three of them daily, asking me to “prioritize” their inventory first. That is a headache in itself. We are expected to keep up with a lot of information and know how to use multiple systems, but the process changes almost on a monthly basis. They “fix” things that don’t need fixing. I don’t even know how to do my job anymore due to this.…

I need safety shoes for work, my employer is legally required to provide it and replace it every year or two. Why is it always such a battle to get them to buy quality shoes? We wear them for 10h a day everyday. It's in everyone's best interest that we have comfortable shoes which at minimum don't cause injuries or other medical conditions. Yet the company I work for is the third company in my career refuses to pay more than 20-30£ for footwear. And it's not even like I ask them to get me some fancy stuff for £100, I just wanted som mid-range shoes which cost £50 ex. Vat. It's also not the factor of scale. We have like 12 people required to wear them and on top of that, not all of us have them replaced at the same time, so it's not that they need to…

I work for a small business that was doing great and had tons of work and workers and started off with like 40 ppl there but now down to like 15-20 ppl. I’m a hard worker and only make a small wage compared to what the company is making. I do a large amount of coordinating and shipping / inventory. The company made 9 million dollars a yr at its peak and now its making like 5-6. The business kinda dried up. And the morale is quite low. I suspect our president is on drugs and drinks and shit and is a ego narcissist passive. At any rate I just think it’s time to move on, but its just hard to let go of the people that you struggled with. I know the company is not my responsibility and if I leave its a major hit to morale and the…
