Retiring in 4 years from a job that been alternating between shitty and generous for the last 30 years.

Lately it’s been shitty, so I’m going to skate for the next 4 and do just enough to keep from getting fired so I can burn up my sick days and vacation day (they don’t pay-out at retirement and would be lost) I’m gonna max out my pension and 401k (the only consistently generous part) and since I won’t have to ever work again or need a reference I’m going to tell them “fuck all ya” on the way out the door.

My contract won’t be reappointed. How to ride out the last 2 weeks.

Small team, big company. My super won’t reappoint my annual contract to no fault of my own. I quietly removed my personal possessions and sent a follow up email confirming that conversation. Any pro tips?

In 2022, my brother died and IKEA (my employer at the time) denied my bereavement leave because their policy doesn’t extend to siblings. I then posted to this subreddit to expose their policy for which I was fired for posting on Reddit. I haven’t forgot. Hi IKEA!

It’s Sad to See Workers Thinking this is Appropriate at All

I didn’t even realize till halfway through that OP was actually the red text. This is absolutely unhinged telling someone else they shouldn’t leave at the end of their shift regardless of how busy it is. Also saying their plans aren’t important in the grand scheme of things…like Domino’s profits are?!?! I get feeling flustered from being short staffed when it’s busy, but to take it out on another employee (even the manager) is just completely misplaced. EDIT: after posting I checked OP’s page to see they also posted an update. Unlike what they originally said they didn’t actually quit, rather they contacted the owner and got the GM fired…for leaving when they were scheduled to leave. God I wish we had solidarity in this country. https://www.reddit.com/r/Dominos/s/H0R1ViIE5l

Now that I am out of debt and have some money I respect the rich even less.

I recently started my own business working as a consultant and it has done quite well. More recently 2 months ago I paid off the last of my debt and now can live quite comfortably. Other than eventually buying a car that is not 20 years old (like my car). Saving for retirement and maybe buying a place to live I seem to have no use for this excess in wealth. I have already started giving some of what I have that is extra to homeless people in my neighborhood and family members who need help. I feel soooooo rich from not being in debt. Even though I probably have what many would consider very little money. What this newfound removal from struggling in poverty has taught me is the wealthy are completely morally bankrupt in their greed and they are missing out on so much joy from sharing it…

Vacation planned for months I’m advance, then denied a month before.

Writing this on behalf of my friend because I'm so pissed off. I'm in Europe, she's in the US, we've known each other 6 years now, and met each other irl for the first time last year. We've decided to make meeting up a yearly thing, she went to visit me first, this year it's my turn to visit her. We've been planning this trip since she left last year, we've made plans, picked a specific date, rented our bnb as soon as possible, I got all the necessary papers to travel and bought the plane tickets, got my own vacation days approved… All the while my friend has already handed in her request for two weeks time off, so she can spend time with me, but obviously their software is broken, so she has to ask to permission in person. She asks her manager who says it's no issue,…

Hilarious old lady

So I was supposed to start working at dominos today at 4:30 as a delivery driver in a Texas location, to clarify me and my wife are completely broke so I had to doordash for gas money before I went in, I wasn’t on the schedule or gotten my uniform yet, I get there at 4:31 walk in at 4:32 and a manager I hadn’t spoken to or seen the past week and half I’ve been in the application process came around the corner at 4:33 asking why I was late, I explained my situation to her and she told me “We’re trying to make being punctual extremely important here so I don’t think we’re going to continue this” I just sort of laughed and walked out after telling her okay. Never in my life half I been treated like a child late for school by someone I’ve never met…

Oh, an 8-Figure company out of California, seeking a Financial Controller, surely the compensation will be commensurate with the position they’re looking to fill?
