Boss just threw my coworkers under the bus.

I gave my two weeks notice and he said I don't have to bother showing up for the rest of my scheduled days including tonight. He said it in a super round a bout way but it roughly translated to:”How dare you go somewhere else with higher pay for the same exact position I thought we were friends.x Today is friday btw. My note even mentioned to give you enough time to find a replacement for me. He would rather throw my coworkers into chaos instead of negotiating higher pay and a full time pos.

Unilever has workers labeled as “releaseable” and “un-releaseable”

My aunt works at Unilever and constantly complains about how her desk is always flooded. She gets the work of those who do not do the work and slack off. She has the job of 2-3 people with how many desks she manages. She just told me tonight she applied to another job for more money. Unilever declared her as a “unreleaseable” worker and refuses to let her go. I’m absolutely furious for her. She makes barely 45k a year and constantly is forced to work overtime. She is literally stuck as a job because she is viewed as “valuable” but gets treated like shit. There’s no way they can’t refuse to let workers go.

No, I wont be returning to the office

Like most of you, I too received an email stating so and so corporation has ended wfh and so will we. And like you, my first thought was no, pay me more. If the job is so important for you to watch me do, surely you can afford to pay me the difference in cost of doing it at your desk instead of mine? I dont have another job lined up, i fully expect eventually i will have to return to an office or work setting away from my house. But it wont be because you wanna be like da big boys. And it sure as fuck wont be for free. My ultimatum, pay me more, fire me, or let me continue to make you money. But i will not be paying an extra $1500 a month out of pocket to continue doing the same job I have been doing…
