I’m literally asking questions regarding leave and work holidays and he just doesn’t answer them. But he’s got time to make jokes on the main chat and I can clearly see he’s active. At one point I quadrupled messaged him and that was 2 weeks ago and I still haven’t got a reply. He’s really pissing me off now.
We've all seen them the person on a zoom call telling their boss how they won't stay late or take their laptop on vacation often punctuating the call with a “toodaloo” How many jobs have they had, because I've never worked anywhere that would tolerate that? I get that they're right, but I guarantee you everyone in the company secretly hates them because they're not seen as “team player”. Again I'm not disagreeing that the employee is right, just wondering where the hell they work that their employer is supportive of that.

Ich hatte eine Ausbildung gekündigt und im Kündigungsgespräch hatte mir die Ausbildung gesagt , dass ich nicht zum unternehmen passe. Auf Nachfrage kam keine Antwort (auch per Mail). Und diese Sache verfolgt mich immernoch. Wie geht ich damit um?
I am remote. Is this overused phrase a way for supervisors and companies to have surveillance since we aren’t in the office? For context, I got a request to create a PowerPoint presentation. I said ok this is my draft… Take a look and if there are any key things to change reply and let me know. Now the supervisor replies with this zoom meeting request and CC’s 3 other colleagues who have no relevance or connection to this PPT. It seems like every small request or task that can easily be done by me, always turns into this “wow let’s discuss via a zoom call” and “let’s connect ASAP”. No thanks. Just read it over and tell me it’s fine. We don’t need to analyze everything to death and have endless zoom meetings. Anyone also have a supervisor or company culture like this? It’s exhausting. A 1 hour task…
I work with a small team, and my manager is quite harsh on the entire team except for his few favorites. These past two weeks my manager has been constantly pulling me in the office for things that has nothing to do with my performance or job role. When he asks me a question, he tells me my tone is rude. When I’m quit and just observing during meetings, she pulls me into separate meetings saying i look miserable and like I have an attitude. I was honest with him and told him I’m a little more reserved because i’m nervous to open my mouth during our meetings or other times that are outside my job role itself (for reference i’m a floater assistant teacher). I have spoken to people I consider a safe place at work and they reassure me that they’ve never thought of me as rude or…
Any advice for how you to keep yourself from telling your boss to fuck off and gloriously walk out / quit? I’ve tried going for a walk, nod and agree, taking side actions to make myself feel better (apply for jobs, preemptively write my resignation letter, etc), but my anxiety along with this persons incessant toxicity is lighting a short fuse. I’ve got several interviews and second rounds lined up but need to keep it together for the next few months. For context: I work in the architecture industry in a large city; the community is small and my boss is a terrible human, and more relevant to me, a terrible manager. They’ve been with the company their whole career (20+ years) and are very well connected in the community. If I quit on the spot, it’ll be much harder to find a job and potentially give me a bad…
I can safely say my American bros, you are being screwed royally. I work 4 days a week and 3 days off, I make about 85% of my 5 days a week salary. Never been happier honestly, i work monday tuesday, and then Wednesday no work. Getting to work on monday and realizing that in 2 days I will have a day off again makes me go to work with a smile on my face. Using that day off to either (kite)surf, boulder, snowboard or spend time with my little niece in the afternoon. Then when I get to work on Thursday I smile again because only tommorow left and then weekend. On saturdays I do my household chores and then Sunday completely off again without any responsibilities. It has been an utter godsend and such a psychological boost for someone already struggling with their mental health. Fight the system,…
(Not my story but someone close). A few years ago, they were working in a bit of a hostile environment. The workplace was professional (suits) where they were required to submit products on schedule. In this environment, if a due date was Wednesday it was a standard to be done by close of business Wednesday. After 3 years of grumpiness and sharp remarks from the team lead, things finally came to a heated discussion. Apparently, when the team lead said 'Wednesday' – they REALLY meant 'Monday'. So, my friend asked, “So, for 3 years, according to you, I've been turning in my work 2 days late.” Team Lead: “YES” LOL
