I was hired again recently to help out my friend, who I referred when we were in high school like 7 years ago. He is the ASM. I have a college degree, currently a grad student, and only really did this to help out my boy and have some extra money to pay tuition. Today, I find out a new guy who is only a kitchen aid (sides and washing dishes) is making a higher hourly than me. I understand this is common, however, I also was JUST hired less than 3 weeks ago, this guy being hired less than a week ago. I also DID ask for a higher pay than what I ultimately accepted, which was still less than what this new guy…

I'm conflicted. Do you think it's bad karma to take parts and sell them at production cost to people that have to pay sometimes 4x the price?

How common is it for top managers to be driven by insecurities ? I have this manager who has this personality that reflects that his life is his job . His direction is more like if I fail I would be extremely embarrassed with stakeholders so his way of pressuring goes beyond into a more autocratic type .” I am the general manager , you are not hired to take decisions , not take initiative , and when you must absolutely do you will tell me so I can approve ” type of thinking , and when we needs to pressure it's often more of accusations so that one feels on the edge to deliver . He is always worried to lay the best example of hard worker just today he was having lunch at 5:30pm . If something seems.off he asks questions but it's.more of like ” I don't…

Title says it all. We’ve won multiple awards for the company, I listed out all extra duties I’ve taken on over the past year. They said I had salary increases but it was actually cost of living increases plus a week of extra vacation. After six years I am awarded with a title change and lip service. From now on I am only doing duties in my job description. I am done taking on extra work for no compensation.

I had an incident I should have sued for, but they offered me treatment and I was young and in pain; I signed their papers.
