Month: November 2023

I work for an attorney. 6 full time people in office including me. I have worked there a little over a year. I'm nervous about asking for a raise. My coworker said she has not gotten a raise every year (she's been there 12 years) but with our bonuses & employer paid health insurance it evens out. I have always gotten a raise every year at previous jobs. I like my job, but I'm working to make money & want a raise. Fellow redditors, do you get a raise / salary increase each year? Thanks for your input.

I know a lot of people experience this, but I just started working full time in august and some days it has a bad effect on my mental health. It feels like my manager is always disappointed in me, and I’m doing something wrong. For example, this morning I got told off by the other assistant for showing up 20 minutes early. I’m scared because I know she will tell my manager of this, and I may get called into her office to get told off once more this week. There seems to be no room for error in this job. For a normal person these little problems and being told off would be something to brush off the shoulder, but for me it lingers with me all day and does negative things to my mood. I wonder if it shows up in my face when I’m upset. I don’t…

I started a new job with no guarantee for contract renewal and feel I am facing the following obstacles: denied HR accommodation, people older and younger than me in higher paying positions, harassed by a old white male for wearing a mask outside, and unable to make time for the job interviews i want to go to. I am angry at the layoff from months ago that caused irreparable damage to my income and my direction towards my career. I feel lost and hopeless. Does anyone feel the same way? I am 2 years away from 30 and feel the only best job I had was during Covid-19 lockdown.

I’m sure this has been talked about in this Reddit thread in the past but it’s my turn now. I’m struggling, man. Like, really struggling. 2 years ago I worked at a manufacturing plant. It was hell. For over 7 years I worked for a narcissist who did not value their employees. I finally took a stand for myself and left, with $3k in my bank account and no backup plan, and no other experience. Today, I can say that I’ve worked hard to find a work from home job, which is something I wanted my whole life. Just makes things easier. The thing is… I spent months off of work, and I finally found true happiness. I felt free. I had time to spend with my loved ones. I had time to learn and work on my art projects. I felt like a person again. Now, though this job…

And I quote: “we recognise various milestones from 5 to 40 years service, and reward you with gift vouchers and a pin badge” Seriously? A badge? Being stuck in the same place for that long is hardly a point of pride to the extent that I want to wear a god damn badge. And I have it in good faith that the gift vouchers a pretty low value. Why can't we just have a bonus?
