These guys are extremely hard to talk to. They’re country dudes in their 50s who have that “respect is earned not given” attitude, they run through hella employees and can’t figure out why. Truck is old as shit, we deliver produce and the back of the truck also doesn’t even get as cold as it should be to keep the food cold. I’ve done nothing to these guys, I hate pulling the race card but I honestly think they might be racist because why else would you not put me another truck and keep in the old truck with no AC and engine issues. Of course the smart thing to do here is quit but I feel shitty employers need to be held accountable for their actions at some point. Are they breaking rules or violating any safety? I live in Florida btw so you know it’s getting hot as…

The job in question does not require any heavy lifting or operation of machinery or any other tasks that should require them to know all of this info

I was recently promoted to management but my promotion is still under wraps until my boss lets the team know at our next department meeting. When I told one of my close colleagues who I consider a friend he jokingly said I guess we can’t talk or be friends anymore. I took it for the joke it is but it made me think will it be unprofessional to talk to them about work the way I did before the promotion? Or do I have to keep my opinion of the company to myself now?

Recently I had a meeting with my managers and a HR rep. Long story short, they decided to put me into Performance Improvement Program (PIP) for a number of reasons which half of those issues I managed to counter argue though still they didn't care. Out of all points, the main point highlighted is “You do work but we no see you work so you no do work”. At the end of the meeting the HR rep explained a few things on the objectives and that's it. Safe to say I'm feeling pretty bumped right now and highly demotivated because never in 7 years of my career being placed in PIP let alone called for 1:1 (except for KPI review) due to performance issue. Since I have 3 months to go through this PIP, how do you guys suggest me to go through the program? Any other inputs are welcomed.

Og, pleas redirect me if I'm on the wrong community but I need help. My boss is utterly ridiculously unreasonable, he manipulates and gaslights me on a daily basis, all i want to do is cut ties with him and never look back. But I work on a ship and he is kinda my only way into the company and I need his recommendation to be hired. Thing is. The rest of the crew is fantastic but this donkey makes my life fucking missreable. So the question is how do I deal with him while also dealing with some mayor personal problems?. I can't ignore him, but I need to keep my sanity. I still have 5 weeks left of my contract. A little background info, on my midway evaluation he basically wrote I'm useless and a terrible person ( he handlet it to me and went “sit down, read…

Anyone work for employee owned company here? Would be interesting to hear opinions around culture, lifestyle and overall satisfaction of both types of ownership in a company setting. I may be jumping to conclusions, but it seems that having a company like BlackRock own your employer vs. employee owned company may be the reason for so much inequality in the system. Example – company owned by investment firm produces a profit and is paid to the investment group and not reinvested back in human capital, development, new technologies or just raising wages of workers. Investment firm will demand same amount of profit next year plus some. Don't meet the requirement, they'll slash spending, layoff etc to ensure they get their return.

I’m going to assume most businesses in areas hit by the poor air quality do not care. I hope everyone is able to stay safe. Wear an N95/KN95!! I hope y’all are not having to work during this
