Month: August 2023

I use to work for this tax team previously as a tax associate. I left the position to go to the compliance team because the job had no structure. There was either a ton of work or none. My fellow colleague who hated me (because I wouldn’t voluntarily do her work), and my boss would micro manage and throw projects at me last minute with no thought process behind them and schedule meetings with me last minute despite if I was available or not. After leaving I enjoyed my job in compliance and never regretted leaving the previous role. When a new promotion opened up on the compliance team I applied. I reached out to my previous manager for a reference and he told me about a job he had on the tax team for more money. I applied for the sake of being open minded but truly wanted the…

I feel like a peer-reviewed study would be more persuasive, but the only ones I found so far are from Europe. We're in the US.

I feel so defeated and deflated. I have a master's degree and sacrificed my PTO time to do these interviews and now it's all just wasted. I can't keep living like this. To start over with endless applications unseen and even scraped before I even get a human to see it. It's so fucking stupid. All of it

I work for tacos4Life Original store just switched to a new concept store Dōblé Owners said we would all do tip share to make up our current wage Turns out, they're fucking us! Idk what to do I'm now making $8/hr! We've discussed my wage 3x and they've fucked me over for 3 paychecks Any idea of how to make this right? They owe me almost $1k

We've had multiple announcements of people getting promoted in my department this past month. I admit I feel a twinge of jealousy. But then I remember: I've been here decades. I get good reviews. My 401K balance is higher than most coworkers. And my job title is at the lowest level in my team. So I'm mostly stress free because I'm only responsible for my own work. Also….. TGIF!

I hate the work world and their 40 hour bollocks to begin with. Job i have now is not great by any means.. begun looking for new. Found this job ad.. on their website is said 80,000-130,000. Seemed pretty too good to be true. Went for interview. It was. Got low balled basically and which means their ad is complete bollocks. Go figure. Got offered two dollars more than what I'm making now for way more physical labor. Thing is.. contact was made today if interest is still present. Don't know how to response because I wouldn't mind having this place as a back up incase I do need it at some point so I don't really want to burn the bridge.. Any insight as to how i should respond?

Our arm-and-leg price is something that I was kicked out last the housing market, the inflation of cost spiking for all of our expenditures, rising rent, declining buying power of our money, and the fact that our average wage (in proportion to the income of the small number of people make( – is disgusting. I think we're going into the direction of another depression – one that's significantly worse than any of our past economic crashes. I stick around knowing that what everything we're experiencing is completely unsustainable. I cannot wait for the entire system to hit the breaking point and ABSOLUTELY COLLAPSE to the ground and smoulder; real change is not going to happen until it does.

I went above and fucking beyond for this company. Gave 120% every day I came in, learned how to do the jobs of 3 different shifts, ACTIVELY DID ALL 3 JOBS DURING MY MID SHIFT ON TOP OF MY OWN JOB, went out of my way to help everyone, stayed late both voluntarily and every time I was ever asked. I genuinely liked my work and the people I worked with, despite my issues with the company on the whole. The one fucking time I said I couldn't stay later than I already was, because I had very pressing responsibilities, and I had been coming in early all week and staying late to help cover the workload of 2 co-workers that were on vacation, upper management threatened to fire me if I didn't stay. So, I stayed and worked a near double shift. WHEN I CAME IN THE NEXT DAY…

I work in real estate development and manage projects from the ground up. The company I work for insists on following a very strict schedule and following internal work orders, which are part of the Development process Flowchart. Creating and following this process has some advantages, but it also has a lot of inefficacies, and it is completely over whelming me. For instance there are a number of work orders that are scheduled under the process to happen well before we need them. Because of this, as the project changes as we move along with design, all of these work orders need to be updated and changed. specifically – I have a work order to determine the electrical load for the project. This is something that we actually don't need for another 4-5 months. But to follow the process I completed this task a few months back, and it was…

I'm applying for a minimum wage job (Alberta, CA) Not much responsibility involved. It's a chill job that I do hope I get as its low stress. The application questionnaire thingy I have to fill out is taking me forever though!? Its asking me for explanations of any gaps in my resume, references that are either personal or professional and (Not former employers or relatives), and have I ever been fired or let go and why? how much detail do I really have to give?
