Hey, I’m wondering if anyone on here works remotely, on a salary, and has had a power outage? How did your manager handle that situation? Did they take away a vacation day?

From someone else, but owners and bosses shouldn’t expect you to “work as hard” as them if you don’t own equity in the company.

I once worked as a bookkeeper for a realty/property management firm. I was hired to start at $15/hr then would get $20/hr after first 2 weeks of proving myself. When I started, I had trouble finding someone to onboard me. Manager would assign someone to show me how to do something, but then they would be busy with their own work and not really spend much time training me. I was hired to do bookkeeping. But they had me doing something different every day. One day I was preparing letters of rent increase for the property management company. Apparently this office we worked at, and I was bookkeeping for, was a combination of several different companies run by the same people. It wasn't even clear to me which company I was working for, there were several involved in this office. Somehow an ex-politician from nearby was also involved, maybe he…

I feel like I am going crazy. Several months ago my firm engaged a photographer to take our headshots. Except, this was no professional photographer. Friends, this guy literally counted to three and then took a photo. He would reset after every photo. He also did not know how to direct someone to frame them nicely for a shot. As for my firm, think of a stuffy profession similar to white shoe law firms where everyone thinks they are special and bred to be leaders on the Earth (eye rolllllsssss). I modeled when I was younger (no college debt thaaaaaaanks) but it was always athletic or active swim wear as that was where I got the most work as I am pretty fit and tall. So think PG catalogues – never did anything risque or remotely fashion forward. PS commerical models such as I was can make a ton of…

I’m overhearing this conversation with 2 old people (very loudly I may say) about how no one wants to work. The lady is retired and she worked at mc Donald’s and the other man I assume is a construction worker. They are both appalled that people don’t wanna work for 15. (They are making it seem like so much fucking money) How are they not struggling? How are they so out of fucking touch? What the fuck is going on. Irritates me.

For context, I no longer work at this company I am mentioning, and this was a little over a year ago. I worked in a waterheater production company, small end but management acted like we were the best of the best despite being understaffed and never having supplies in stock for production of product. I ran our only assembly unit which put the water heater units together, so everything rode on if I could do the assembly process. Our water heaters were lined with cement, so they had the individual pieces of it lined before hand and then brought to me once they had hardened for assembly. One day I am going through my parts and found a rat had gotten stuck in the wet cement and died there. It had been dead for weeks and the smell was unbearable. I notified management who was pissed because they only made…

I take a nap, eat, play video games, watch something and sometimes go for a walk
