My company is mandating RTO and giving severance for those that don't want to relocate or move to a hybrid model. It's 2 months. We RTO in October, my thought was to push it off. I was only planning to stay at the company until December and look for a new gig. My co-workers are toxic, mostly pointing fingers at each other. Make sense to take sev or stick it out until December?
So I quit my job because the management was stressful, near the end anytime my manager walked into the room I felt my blood pressure shoot up just from there presence. During the interview for the new job, I asked multiple times if there was overtime and if we hit the 40 hours. In response I received, “We have Saturday work sometimes and we get close to 40 hours on a normal week” I accepted, even mentioned I was getting 18/h at my last job but it was part time, I said I was leaving due to the lack of advancement. They tell me I got the job and that HR would reach out to tell me the wage and other finalization documents. When I get the call, they say I'm starting at 14.50, minimum where I'm at. I pause and say, “That's less than what I was expecting, but…
I (20m) have been working for a company since October last year. It was only my second job, and the starting pay was $15 an hour. I was coming from a different company where I was only paid $11.50 an hour, so as you can imagine, I was pretty psyched about this new job. Not long into my work last year I picked up a second job because I had a cancer scare and needed to have testing done. I couldn’t afford it. I mentioned that I had orientation coming up for a second job and boss pulled me into the office the next day to offer me a raise and more hours. five days a week, 6-8 hours a day, $17 an hour. At the time that seemed like a pretty good deal! Here’s where shit hits the fan though. For awhile I’m making decent money— And as someone…
My coworker is in their 70s and I'm in my late 20s. The disparity between us concerning work couldn't be greater. We are short a person at work and my coworker deems it's because no one wants to work. This is a moderately hard labor job, in the sun, minimal breaks, and minimal shade. The bosses are incredibly condescending, so much so that my coworker has admitted to crying because of them. My coworker hasn't gotten a raise from minimum wage in the 6 years they've worked there. How could this possibly be because no one wants to work?
Sorry if off-topic but why are doctors especially dentists such scammers in the US? I see them charge exorbitant prices for stuff they get from the manufacturer for 1/20 of the price
I am also American and I have my own reasons why I’m still living the good ol American dream. Shitty pay, shitty healthcare, can’t afford retirement fund, constant dread of living this life forever. But, I have an amazing and supportive family, the love of my life, friends, 3 cats, and the slightest hope we can at least have what Europe has in the near future. I’m really curious about: What keeps the rest of you here? Where would you go if those reasons didn’t exist, and why? What conditions are you working with, and what conditions do you want the most?
I recently applied for a job in downtown Chicago. A prestigious real estate company that was honestly my dream job. After working with the recruiter and going through 4 interviews the company decided to offer me the job. We negotiated salary, they accepted. In the final process post offer letter they asked me to go back and fill out my educational background which I was never able to complete. (I have 8 years of relevant work experience). I never lied to them in the hiring process and assumed it wouldn’t be a big deal. Anyways, they call me back 2 days later to let me know that they are pulling the offer and I’m out of luck. Heartbroken and beyond disappointed. I guess I’m wondering is the recruiter at fault? Should I have said nothing and gone through the background check? Looking for advise.
I work security and for both companies Ive worked for they have had cameras facing the guards. “For our saftey” totally not to see if we are timing in on time or are taking too long of a break ect. Anyone else have problems with trust from higher ups at their jobs? Or just me..
I have amassed 7K EUR as my savings. I am currently employed as customer support rep in training, but I am definitely gonna be fired coz I have had enough of this BS job and I been “on sick leave” for 3 days now. In the employee handbook it's stated you may not go on sick leave until the training period is over, so yeah Im def getting fired but so be it. Anyway, so basically I am a student finishing my degree in uni, I won't need a job for quite a while coz of my savings. For the past 3 days I have woken up at 11AM, or whenever I wanted to / needed to (body waking me up basically), I have been able to do WHATEVER I WANTED, jesus… I am SO happy! Stress-free, eating healthy on my keto diet, no rushes to appear by X o'clock…
I'm generally a straightforward person. I do things out in the open because I can't stand games, but that's all they do at work. Games, games, games. Gotcha games, sneak attacks, secret shoppers, tricks, traps and on and on. Oh, you're going to be gone tomorrow for surgery? That's the day we'll be there to audit your office because we can trick the rest of the staff a lot easier and they haven't been there at long so they won't know where things are or the answers to the questions that'll be asked and we can score you lower on purpose. Oh, we have 3,000 rules for customer interaction and we're gonna send moles (secret shoppers) to tattle on you for stupid shit that real customer don't even give a damn about. They always say that they're coming to help you but when they get there, it's only to find…
