I’m just curious. I’ve been seeing this a lot lately. Someone will describe their job, sometimes praising it, sometimes bashing it, and say “it pays meh, this industry doesn’t pay well,” or “I could be making more doing xyz.” Well… then why don’t you?? Or is this just an attempt at humility? If something pays not great, leave and find something else. If you CAN find a better paying job, go apply. If not, quit bitching!!
I've been maxed out at my pay grade for 3 years. I've recieved a longevity bonus each year. The new contract, I'm in a new pay grade. No longevity bonus.
I’m 19M, for the past year and a half I’ve worked at fedex unloading trucks, and it’s hell. it’s well over 100 degrees in the warehouse, the packages are heavy as fuck, and I make $17 an hour. A new McDonalds opened in my town, paying the same rate. I applied there today, because why am I breaking my back at a warehouse when I can make the same working at mcdonald’s?? When I told my mom, her reaction was “you’re going to mcdonald’s?!” in a rude tone. I told her yes, and the exact reason why. My question is, why are some people so opposed to others trying to make their lives easier? Why is fast food work so stigmatized?

I was at my company, a massive institution that’s very well known, for 2 years. From the get go it was a shit show but I kept on thinking “maybe I just need to give it a chance”. There was gaslighting, “miscommunications”, lack of clarity, no one was on the same page, when J first started I didn’t have a phone or an office, my job title changed constantly and it got to the point that my hair started falling out in chunks and I got diagnosed with another chronic condition. I was having a hard time with my new meds and on a temporary accommodation where I was threatened constantly and accused of not doing my job, and then called in while on accommodations, to be told again I’m not doing my job, then retaliated against. I also got demoted for complaining and my former employee became my manager.…
My boss, (who is very staunchly conservative, pro-life, and active in politics) led me to believe I would be allowed the full amount of unpaid leave covered by FMLA back in February. I was preparing to deliver an unplanned birth control baby and thought he would be nothing but supportive. On my way out the door the day before my leave was supposed to start, he pulled me into his office and wanted me to sign a document saying I was willingly terminating my employment with the company, and explained they didn’t have to abide by FMLA requirements because their employee count was kept in the mid 40s, just under the minimum employee count of 50 that would require them to offer FMLA. This also meant I would be risking forfeiting my insurance just days before a huge medical cost, (my baby could easily have arrived at the start of…
Hello po, just wanted to ask if pwede ba ilagay sa resume yung skill na “Social Media Management” even though I just learn it by watching videos? Or needed talaga na may certificate? And if needed ng certificate where can I study to get it for free? Thank you po sa sasagot
Some background, so I work at this distribution center as an auditor, I check for mistakes with products, shipping pallets, receiving pallets, storage, etc. It falls under quality assurance and was supposed to be a temporary job title while things were still busy. I’ve been working as an auditor for 2 years now so it seems like it’s no longer a “seasonal” position right? Well they seem to think so in terms of saving money because they saw all the money they save with all the mistakes we catch. But in terms of a raise, I’m not eligible because I’m still seasonal. I’ve also been helping the supervisor with a lot of his work, so I’m logging a lot of information in the computer. I recently found a folder in a computer of all the auditor mistakes that were found and fixed, and I saw that I find the most…
Apologies in advance for any grammatical errors. English is not my native language. I have had Covid recently and have been feeling very ill for the last week. I have a few medical problems that have to be checked regularly, so I have to take days off every once in a while. I feel like I have to justify every single thing to my boss, otherwise they won't believe me. I've been sending every receipt, every Covid test, every sick certificate, every correspondence between me and my doctors. He seems to be pushy for me to come back to work, even though I'm still positive and I still have symptoms. He messages me outside work to ask me when I'm going to be back. I don't know what to do, because then I started feeling guilty for taking all those days off, and since I'm still on probation, I'm scared…
