I work at an electronics repair workshop (mostly smartphones like the iPhone 14 and the Samsung Galaxy S22/23) that is controlled by a massive insurance corporation. The disconnect between workers and CEOs, EVPs, etc is unreal. I’ve been there for a year and a half – our quota is 6 devices repaired per day. I typically got 9 on average done while my peers only had around 2-3. Asked for a raise 6 months in and got denied because I hadn’t been there for a year. After one year, I was denied again because they supposedly only give out raises in July and my 1 year anniversary was in October. Got a double promotion from repair technician I to III. It didn’t come with a raise at all, was told I would get it this July. I was just told yesterday that a new EVP was hired and would be in the shop to examine how things are being ran and see our numbers. I now will need to shave my beard and dress in a business attire when he comes in. Worst part? If our shop’s numbers as a whole are not sufficient (not just including the repair portion of the business), I would not be receiving a raise. Guess who is now looking for another job and doing the bare minimum? I am so lost right now – I can’t believe these big businesses can take someone who worked so hard and cared so much about their job and break them down to someone who couldn’t care less anymore and actively looks for jobs on Indeed on the clock.
