My sister just became a Supervisor for Home Attendants and she’s already on the verge of quitting for numerous reasons. The workload for someone who is new on the job is completely unrealistic and sets a standard that practically nobody can live up to. She has to watch over 75 clients, constantly make emails, phone calls, PDFs, and dealing with either disrespectful home attendants or clients. Now that she’s getting to work earlier than usual they put her to do other people’s work until they get to the office. The managers in the place see that nobody lasts there and never attempt to make it better for the employees, literally nobody working there at the moment has been there for at least a year. These same managers are also always telling their employees that the job will continue to get worse and worse, literally no room for stability in this…

The WWE released a memo asking folks to work remotely yesterday so they could destroy jobs while the heads of WWE and UFC rake in the cash. “Job creators” are also inherently job destroyers.

Toxic Office
The interview was with a fire inspection company in Burnaby, not too far from my apartment in south Vancouver. The interview was very early in the morning, before anyone else would have showed up for work, with the office manager. Got offered the job on the spot. I walked away happy, but some small voice was telling me it was weird how it happened so quickly. Some part of me was expecting more of a process. Time goes by, I start work. Learn that this girl was quitting and I was taking her job, she was training me. She was good and fast at her job, but I was seeing inefficies everywhere. Poor communication, poorly documented procedures, redundant work, and no room to fix these things. I learned the company was just bought, and most of the old staff worked there including the previous owners daughter and a guy that…
This person needs to retire…. he lies about people, does crazy manipulative things to the point nobody likes him but because he has been with the company for 35 years and for pension or legal issues I don't know they are not getting rid of him. Everyone is tired of his crap. I am not a Manager and only 3 months in I have to supervise people. I unfortunately work in the same department as him so I cannot avoid him. So how can I make his life miserable and to leave us alone? Not to be rude but he is dumb and his brain is rotting for him. He made sexist comments towards me and asked me to go on a trip with him so now I want to turn the tables on him. Lol he thinks this is still 1930s. The fact that he is close to the…
“So you haven't been working for 15 minute?” Some people just lack the ability to be nice humans.
I worked for a marketing firm pre pandemic in SoCal. In addition to email, social, web marketing, we also had a staffing arm of the company. This “talent” agency was responsible for staffing most of the people at CES and similar trade shows. Companies would hire a few people to staff the events. In 2019 we had a bunch of different staff fly to Vegas for the event. One of the staff was hired last minute but was told to go to the airport and it would be covered. Gets to the airport and there was an issue with the ticket. The talent called our CEO while standing at the airport to let him know he needed $200 for a change in the flight. Rather than just give our company card, our CEO told him to buy the ticket and we would reimburse him. The employee didn’t have an extra…
