I'm in a pickle, my place of work has gone through management change. We have to work 9-5 during the weekend both days. New starters are earning more than us. More additional work with no pay rise. No progression until we do certificates. No information on when this will happen. What shall I do? Thanks.
I had been at my last company for two years. I had multiple meetings with my boss about a promotion at the beginning of the year, scheduled business trips, and was being assigned tasks I was so excited to be apart of. Then all of a sudden on Friday, people much higher than me and my boss decided to reduce more positions. Mine was one of them. I didn’t get a “2 week notice”. I’m devastated; I needed to share somewhere and this felt like the place
Show of hands? (No one raises their hand.) What I thought. Me as well. Fuck them. They're only getting a buck or two a month. I can't afford shit nowadays.
I'm American but due to me joining the army and deciding to stay overseas afterwards I have no experience as an adult over there. I looked at my childhood home, and the mortgage on it now costs 3300 a month to live there. So with utilities I'm assuming close to over 4 grand.theres now way my parents were paying this. We had cable, full, pantry, cars……and went to restaurants. There's no fucking way . My rent in germany is 710 euros for a 3 bedroom apartment , utilities included. I make currently 4500 a month, and I split my rent…. y'all are being fucking played and I would have revolted right now. If i went back home with my currently salary I'd be fucked….
Hey guys So very long story short, I got into my field (AML, Finance) about 5 years ago. Started with a very busy role and stayed there for about 2 years. I would consider myself a hard worker but this place worked me to the bone and I just got so tired of the constant overtime. I left and since then I have worked in roles where its been very quiet, too quiet. I moved to another fund admin in late 2020 when covid happened and I mean, if I got an hours work a day I would be lucky. Days spent with a glass on my space bar because there was legit no work for the team. I got so tired of being bored with nothing to do I started looking for jobs and eventually moved into Fintech, Meta. I worked there remote for about a year before being…
Ode To A Scab After God had finished the rattlesnake, the toad, and the vampire, He had some awful substance left with which He made a scab. A scab is a two-legged animal with a corkscrew soul, a waterlogged brain, and a combination backbone made of jelly and glue. Where others have hearts, he carries a tumor of rotten principles. When a scab comes down the street, men turn their backs and angels weep in heaven, and the devil shuts the gates of hell to keep him out. No man has a right to scab as long as there is a pool of water deep enough to drown his body in, or a rope long enough to hang his carcass with. Judas Iscariot was a gentleman compared with a scab. For betraying his Master, he had character enough to hang himself. A scab hasn't. Esau sold his birthright for a…
I've been with my current employer for a year and the higher ups regularly talked about being a family, blah blah blah. Last week my coworker, nice guy and incredibly smart, was laid off to save on costs. And that's it. He was with the company for 12 years and a valuable and reliable worker and not a second was paid to consider how much he impacted the company. It was just a reminder companies absolutely do not give a single shit about you. At all
*sorry this is so long* Seeing if anyone else in this group feels the same way or understands. I am a 31-year old female and I've been working in project and ops management for the past 9 years. My first big girl job was at a small marketing/branding agency. It was your typical “work hard play hard” environment that employed a lot of young people straight out of college at extremely low salaries. I was pressured to do a lot of not-so-great things to make our clients happy and eventually I was pushed to the edge when my supervisor kept pressuring me to commit fraud. I quit abruptly and moved on. Ever since then, with almost every employer or freelance client I've had, I've found myself being asked to either witness or be complicit in things that go against my values (or the law). So much to the point that…
I feel like there a lot of posts on how OP should be a better worker recently.
