My signing bonus runs out in August. I told my direct supervisor, her boss and her boss's boss after they sent me an email full of attaboys about how indispensable I am that my evaluations and compensation don't reflect that. I was given the ” HR doesn't allow individualized raises” lie. I forwarded an email from HR where THEY told me that raises are set by department, and HR only approves and codes them. Come August, I will be taking all of my amassed GPT at once. On the last day after I get paid, I will inform them that in order to continue, I need a raise, clear duties in line with my scope of license, and a certain set of hours. Any extra days or asked to come in short notice will be considered consulting, paid at 5x in four hours blocks. ( I also attached the things…

My best friend is sick with a stomach bug and needed to call out of work… Dominoes demands she get a doctors note. For a minimum wage delivery job. This absolutely infuriates me— I’m a lawyer, and this is absolutely never a requirement in the corporate professional world, unless you’re requesting some kind of short term disability. This is literally only just a tool to exert control over minimum wage workers, but also she doesn’t have a choice because otherwise it’s a write-up. What the fuck. “Oh but too many people were calling out.” Sounds like a personal problem…

We work for companies and they pay politicians to have agendas which aren’t good? Im sure the simple answer is money. What are your thoughts?

Saying No. It's very powerful. Try it on your pencil pushing middle manager and watch them get red in the face. Say no to them, they might get so pissed that they put their hands on you, then you have a lawsuit. Say no to the lazy supervisor who does none of the work but basks in all the benefits. Say no to being forced to stand when you know you could reasonably do your job sitting. These dorks doing their best Richard Nixon impressions have never been told No by low level scum like us. And we believe we're low level scum and we kiss their feet. STOP, they are abusing us and we're taking it without question. Question EVERYTHING.

I currently work home health as a nurse. I do enjoy the job. Ive been doing this for 18 years. Im now at the point where im just tired of this field of nursing. I drive a lot, around 28k miles a year. Im now ready to work from home. The driving is really getting tiresome. My company doesn't have any work from home openings. I found a lot of companies that offer WFH positions on indeed. I sent out my resume and had a lot of responses. I liked one in particular and set up a phone interview. It was for last Friday at 9am. Each day I would get a text reminder of the interview. So the day of the interview comes. Im a very punctual person(military services molded me this way) At 8:45 I put the dog in the kennel, turn off the TV and get my…

So as the title says, I quit my job last week so I can go back to growing cannabis full time. I was a Sous Chef at a seafood restaurant making about 40k a year. The owner is in the process of opening another restaurant next door and wanted to make me the Executive Chef. He offered me a 3k raise. I quit the same day. Not so much because I was offended, although I was. But moreso because I know what I'm capable of and I know what I'm worth. If this guy doesn't value me enough to pay me a decent wage that will allow me to buy a house and afford the mortgage and pay my bills and not have to get on welfare or food stamps… well then he can kiss my ass. He's the kind of guy to show up in a Tesla, one of…
