I started a new job with a small company of a total of 5 workers. I’m the admin person working remote. I live about an hour away and my boss wants me to come over to his small office to get more training done. I’ve met my boss at a Starbucks twice. He does have a legit business and contract license within the state and I have already seen he is getting enough revenue to pay for my salary. It feels awkward as f to walk around the back of a stranger’s house which is my new boss to get training. Not my first time this has happened, but it feels uncomfortable doing this…
Month: September 2023
I am a paralegal, still going to school to finish up my bachelors. I have worked in this law firm for over a year now. My boss boss (the guy who owns the firm) is decently popular since he has over 2 million followers on tiktok. He owns a ton of cars, real estate etc but has been bankrupt 2 or 3 times now, so he has a habit of putting his money into the wrong things. He’s a whole mess himself but my problem is my boss (the attorney I’ve been assigned to). This dude is in his 50’s and while he seems nice at first, he is the most unorganized, uncooperative person I’ve ever met. I’m being paid $15 an hour, McDonalds in my town literally pays the same, but they expect me to not only do the actual job I was hired to do and that I…
Some background info, I work at a luxury hotel working the afternoon (PM) shifts. I have two years of night audit experience, but quit that job due to developing health issues and a toxic financial department. (Dumbing their workload on us.) Management approached me hoping I would replace their current main night auditor since he recently has been calling out frequently, I told them no but I wouldn't mind trying to cover. On to now, these night audit shifts are hell. 5x the workload of my previous job, tedious task along side accounting our kitchen and making extremely specific packets for our 3 managers along side the owner that need to be triple checked for accuracy, not even including dealing with customers, cleaning, and setting up coffee in the morning. My memory is ass, so I can tell the night auditors are getting frustrated that I can't even remember have…

The reality of middle class America
Reality of the future for middle class America Many are disconnected from reality and the future of the United States economy. In a current market of massive hyper inflation, increased cost of living/housing, stagnant wages, etc. What does the future hold? I’ve always hear people say “the market will come down eventually”, “it always has”, ”things will get better”. I am here to tell you that past events don’t necessarily determine the future. Yes, historical events can be a good indicator for future possibility, but we are in a unique time. I haven’t been on this earth very long but I can tell you that in these past 3 years, things have changed in our world drastically. I make decent money. A few years ago I’d be considered middle/upper class. Now, I’m stuck renting a 1 bedroom apartment paying more in rent and other expenses than almost everyone I know…

Middle Managers Burning Out?
Alright this is probably me being petty since I've had only two good middle managers (MM) out of a shit storm of jerkoff MM. And if you think so I'm open to hearing it (provided you are polite). But- Cry me a river here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.businessinsider.com/middle-management-having-worst-year-ever-rto-layoffs-burnout-2023-9%3famp Most MM have been bootlickers for their corporate overlords, who participated in several gas-lighring efforts to tell their labourers that they don't deserve raises; that it's not the economy but employees being bad; MM who were all too willing to lay their people off in a heart beat while telling the rest “oh but we're so like family here!” And if COURSE these MM were willing to do that. They thought they were “safe” and were never going to be treated like the peons. But now I think MM are seeing that their just at risk as the rest of us. That the corporate overlords…
I feel like periods in general should be given reasonable accommodation if your symptoms are so severe it hinders your ability to work. Especially something as severe as endo I often times can’t even move and throw up and pass out due to pain but instead I lose my jobs due to excessive call offs and when they get my medical documentation they say a period isn’t a valid reason to miss work and to suck it up.

Part time management horse shite
Post covid we have been required to spend 40% of a fulltime work week in office as opposed to working from home, under the guise of promoting face to face team interaction and guidance (for a telephony based role where noone talks to each other) Besides that our specific team manager is a part time manager (which is just so pointless) and imho a part time manager shouldnt be a thing and completely defeats the purpose of a management so here we are monday morning were all made to come in the office spend our wages on transport leave the house two hours early for our TL to be working from home as they are part time What an absolute fucking joke, A how does a part time manager effectively manage a team when they arnt their half the time B why you not in the office when all your…
