Month: September 2023

Hi- I work in the payroll industry and I'm flabbergasted by the amount of people who do not review their paystubs. This can cause a lot of turmoil. Please please PLEASE review them on a recurring basis and during periods of change. I recommend reviewing them twice a year minimum: beginning and midyear (January and July-ish). As mentioned above, I also recommend reviewing them during periods of change (like when you're expecting a raise or after open enrollment). Here's what to check: Your pay rate your hours The math (hours * rate, noting that overtime rate may not be listed as 1.5x your regular rate on the paper, but the math should still work out) Deductions – are you paying for anything you aren't expecting? Are you missing anything? Taxes – you should have federal income tax, state income tax (depending on the state), Medicare, social security. You may also…

How did anyone work jobs they don't want to do for their entire life? You're telling me you work a job that doesn't line up with your purpose in life for 40+ years and everyday you dredd going to work? It blows my mind we have to do this. Meaningless work. I don't think I can do this for my whole life. The 9-5 office job life sucks. Sorry for the rant, just having a slight existential crisis in my late 20s lol

Has anyone ever replied something along the lines of “It's ok, I accepted a job at a far superior company” or something snarky? This is yet another basic ass, easy job that I get rejected from even though the interviews went well. I'm especially pissed about this one because not only could I do it in my fucking sleep, the pay was higher than most customer service jobs (although still garbage relatively speaking). The implication I'm not qualified is fucking bullshit. Almost tempted to just reply “fuck you” to the email. It's not just a donotreply@email.

This is just a rant. I know it’s partly my fault for my lack of setting boundaries but man I’m so tired. First off, I just graduated with my MA in May and was having difficulty finding jobs that had enough hours. They started they were full time but I would work 20 max. Applied and got my current job doing administrative work, however I’m the only person working in 8 (now 9) buildings in my area. Everyone else is in the southern part of the state. They hired someone with me to do part time another job and then help me with my responsibilities but I don’t know what happened they decided their personality/skills didn’t fit the role so they are just responsible for their own duties. I did vocalize multiple times that I am feeling overwhelmed, and how I’ve been working 60 hour work weeks (I’m also pregnant…

Hi all, this is my (23F) first job after college and I don’t know if this is typical or not. At my job, my contract states that I accrue 6 hours of PTO for every month I work (I am salaried). The days I work are considered to be 8 hours in terms of this PTO policy, even though I usually average over 9. However, whenever I request a day off, my boss (35?M) tells me that I’ll need to work extra hours for the rest of that week to make up for it. Not “Make sure you work extra hours if you have more work that needs to get done”, which would make sense to me, but just that I’ll need to work extra. For example, I asked for a Monday off for a wedding about 2 months in advance, and he said I could only take it if…

Don't really care, not heartbroken about the job. Not interesred in work but fully aware i need to do it, honestly just want to know if anyone has any suggestions for the least taxing (energy wise) jobs that pay the best Just want to clock in clock out and do the bare minimum to be able to do what I want in my own time, I worked in a warehouse for a while, it had a lot of problems but it allowed me to stick my headphones in and get through audio books and podcasts like crazy Any ideas?

Apparently I’ve been working “unauthorised from home” so have been calling into a meeting about my “inappropriate behaviour. How about I have a disability and cannot commute 4 days out of 5? At least I turn up the day after having an infusion at a hospital. And how about my company doesn’t pay me enough to commute 5 days a week??

I posted here a couple days ago about how my boss got upset with me about picking up more shifts at my second job. My FT job is giving me part time hours and my PT job doesn’t have the availability for FT there. I applied to a few jobs and scored an interview, and this thought just popped into my mind. When they ask me why I’m leaving the company, what can I say that sounds professional? I’m mainly leaving because the pay isn’t decent for the work I do, but before I had the hours that weighed out the low pay. Now I’m not getting the hours I require to survive, but how can I go about saying that where it doesn’t sound like I’m dogging the company I work for. It’s an entirely different field, my FT job is prep work for a food establishment(14.50 an hour),…
