If you saw my last post on this subreddit, you know my boss is an asshat. He recently started to question my workload and the workload of my coworkers because we are all stressed and burnt out. He tried framing this assignment as him trying to help us to see if he can help us better time manage things, but we've gone to him with requests and feeback before and keep getting told “You just have to work harder, that's what I do.” I had to block of my entire calendar to do this task today but I am going to write the most obnoxious and highly detailed essay just to piss him off. In grad school, I was notorious for overwriting and taking my time to “get to the point.” Who knew that fun little skill would come in handy today. To answer the two popular questions: 1. No,…

Don’t be afraid to take a leap
I quit a job 3 weeks ago where I was promised a contract but wasn't given it when the time was there. Really regretted having to quit but I wasn't going to stay somewhere where I wasn't valued.

ITS HAPPENING!! Some companies in the private sector in Ireland have shifted to a 4 day week with great success, but now government workers are putting the pressure on. Once this is achieved in the public sector, the private sector will fall very quickly. POWER TO THE PEOPLE

Foreman left, company collapsed
A few years ago, I worked for a “professional” cabinetmaking shop. Originally, I was hired purely as a warehouse guy, but I got quickly promoted by the shop foreman because I was the only person who gave a shit in the entire building. The owner of the company didn't want that because his son was supposed to have the position I ended up with (a machine operator), but he couldn't really argue with the foreman. As part of my “giving a shit” responsibilities, I was sent on First Aid and Workplace Health and Safety training. I was still loyal to my foreman, so I kinda looked to the other way on a lot of the violations (I was young and stupid) during my inspections. Still, I wrote everything down, but I never filed anything as a complaint. Then, a cold day in February came when my foreman quit so he…
