every job posting should indicate the number of years to buy/own the cheapest living quarter within 10km radius, besides pay grade. one without considering inflation another with projected inflation say $3/hr job, show the middle school calculations on number of years need to achieve the minimum security/ownership. Similar for other higher paying ones. just a thought.
I just had a buddy try to convince me to leave my job and apply for a Correctional Officer in Florence, AZ for $24/hr. Hard pass.
I usually go once or twice a month. They've been pressuring us to go at least once a week, but there's no point. Even if I go to the office, part of my team is remote so all meetings are virtual anyway. They said they might make it mandatory if people don't start coming more often. I told my boss I would still not come more often and I would really be unhappy if they decided to go that way. It sucks because the job is pretty good otherwise. Also, this is such a waste of equipment and resources. There are over 60 workstations, the whole office is heated or air conditioned for a few people a week. Rant over
I’ve been going through the application process for a new job and have spent approx 5 hrs so far in 2 interviews, and 2 lengthy personal forms. I have 2 more interviews coming up which should bring my total hours to about 8. A full days work. I already have a job that I enjoy but I want to keep my options open, and they reached out to me in the first place. I understand that companies want to make the right decision when hiring someone but I am getting sick and tired of this lengthy process. In the case that I do not get the job, can i bill them for the time that I have spent on this?
I’ve been away from my job for about a month, unpaid, for some medical issues. I will hopefully go back in the next few weeks. My boss called this morning to check on me. He asked if I was going to be near work any time soon. I told him I was actually going to be there today to drop off some paperwork. “Make sure I see you when you are here.” He’s a cool guy, so I just assumed he wanted to chat for a few minutes. I get there and he and I start talking. We talk for just long enough for my co-workers to bring in a ton of groceries for me. I found out later that he bought it all. There are still good bosses in the world.
From the WBEZ news roundup email this afternoon. I appreciate the chutzpah of whatever employee(s) put this out.
I've hardly seen anyone talking about it, it needs a major signal boost Edit: It's by Bernie, and your pay would be required to scale up so that there'd be no loss in pay
Had my quarterly one to one with my manager today. It's not the worst place to work. I'm there for 2 years next month. I have a toddler at home. Unfortunately, over the past year, he's brought every single bug and plague into the house from crèche! I've had 3 absences in the past 6 months due to this. No bullshitting and taking days off outside of legitimate illness. The last bout was Norovirus and I even came back to work on the 3rd day still not feeling 100% but stuck it out to avoid another subsequent absence. Before that, Strep A, before that, what seemed very aligned with Covid symptoms. These weren't just sore throats or a touch of the sniffles. Towards the end of my one to one meeting, I was informed HR had reached out and informed him to give me a verbal warning for absenteeism. He…
