A hostile environment is pretty clear cut and dry when explicit sexual content is permitted to repeatedly appear and thrive. People should not have to be subjected to discussions between the anchors of their masturbation habits, jokes about prophylactics, discussions of the size of the size of Donald Trump's penis, and full on explicitly detailed descriptions of rape. It's been playing in my break room for probably more than a decade. I'm tired of being forced to listen to the filthy way that their anchors speak while I am trying to eat. I'm talking to HR tomorrow morning about it. Are you?

Hello everyone, first post to this group so I hope something like this is allowed. I’m a mechanical engineer who’s pretty young, only about 3 years total of relevant work experience since graduating with my Bachelors. I’m in the Duluth, GA area and make 70k now. Is that fair? What should I ask for as I start applying to new companies?

Our TX company/hospital is trying to force the staff to work unofficial holidays such as Mother’s Day, Black Friday, Halloween and other unofficial holidays which are notoriously understaffed.

I started working for a nonprofit as a data analyst a few months ago and have mostly been enjoying the work. It's not necessarily what I was expecting, but the pay is nice, I enjoy working from home, and it's my first position out of grad school. It is a grant funded position, so it currently ends end of July, there's always possibility of extension, but I don't know when that discussion occurs.

I'm considered “well ahead in life” as I have my car paid off (although it's quite broken and in need of regular maintenance too) and I have a small home with a mortgage. Even with that in mind, my wage job pays exactly enough for me to get by and my credit card debt only increase by a few dollars each month But I'm struggling more elsewhere. I hate my job. Year after year we lose a supervisor (usually fired for violating a policy, or they leave for better pay/benefits elsewhere) and I train the replacement to be the perfect boss, (for me and my team) my leadership operationally has always been far and above budgeted output and we regularly support the rest of our warehouse. I learned to code within our warehouse management software and automated quite a few departmental tasks, which increased productivity and reduced role complexity (it…
