I’ve spent the last 2 years at an entry level position. The 1 year mark has historically been when promotions to a 2 position are given. I was promised that I would be getting a promotion, but since a merger was taking place but would be delayed a few months. Another year passed and I never got the promotion. Last month I applied for a senior position internally with another team, was given the interviews, and immediately was recommended for the promotion. Now HR is saying that they can give me the senior spot, but can only pay me a 2 salary because a starting senior salary is double what I currently make it “requires ceo approval”, even though if they hired someone new they would be required to pay a starting senior salary. I don’t make enough currently to get a full raise with my promotion. Do I quit…

I was reported by a coworker and ended up having disciplinary action taken against me for saying “I hate God”. Is that not a statement of my own personal religious beliefs, and wouldn't it therefore be protected? It seems similar to if I were a Satanist and said “Hail Satan”, it's a personal statement of religious belief rather than attacking others for their religious beliefs, right? Am I reading too far into this, or is there someone I should reach out to about this?

That's what a random MSP from Washington DC offered me…should I feel offended about that? should I ask for more money? I'm not sure, however, I need the money and I got no options….🥹🥹🥹

I’m only 20yo and this country/this economy is killing me. I am a veterinary technician and I’m in school to get my license. I can barely afford anything. I’m so worried about the state of the economy. If prices of things just keep going up, how am I supposed to keep up? I’ve tried so many things to make extra money, but I work full time and I’m doing classes online anytime I have any free time. I just feel at a loss. Life feels like I’m just trying to survive. This is no way to live. edit: to clarify, by “this country”, I mean the U.S.

In this movie during the shootout every cop would rather put everyone’s lives at risk by engaging in a shootout with the criminals than let them escape with this banks money. Money doesn’t matter people matter. People can’t be replaced. The police put more importance on stopping them from stealing than making sure that all the civilians around wouldn’t get caught in a fucking crossfire. Capitalism once again showing the wrong priorities.

Basically the title. I work a hospital job that is incredibly demanding physically, mentally, and emotionally. On top of having past trauma and a physical disability, I decided I needed a break and gave my notice. I'm scheduled for two more night shifts, tonight and later this week, but I'm feeling so overwhelmed, overextended, and exhausted that I don't think it's worth it. I don't want to leave them in the lurch, but I also need to prioritize my health for once in my life. It's already a wildly understaffed department, so I feel conflicted on calling my manager to quit. Any advice or guidance would be more than welcome.
