I know this probably isn’t anything new and most definitely not unique to my situation, but I think it’s bullshit how even when you use company-allotted vacation days, you and your paycheck amount still end up paying for it. I work 5 10s M-F and anywhere from 5-7 hours on Saturday, for a total of 55-57 hours a week. Well this last week, I had a court date to go to so I took a vacation day, so at least I’d get paid still. Well I checked my email paystub last night and it said 40 Regular, 8 Vacation and 7 Overtime, but my Vacation was ofc paid out as normal time. So I went from usually 40 Regular and 15-17 Overtime to essentially 48 Regular and 7 Overtime, so my check was significantly less due to less 1.5 time. This might be super menial and dumb, but I hate…

Im in the process of applying for multiple new jobs but I’d rather work for myself. Any advice on how to get started? So glad I get to leave that toxic environment!

I don’t want better hours or wage I just don’t want to work, never. No unions just unmediated hate

I'm a manager and recently had a meeting with the CEO. He starts off by showing me a video about navy seals and how they'd rather have an incompetent but trustworthy (bootlicker) team member than a competent one.

He has 3 people that no one in the organization trusts because they're incompetent as the people he thinks are the most competent and trustworthy. He follows that up by heavily implying that if I want further advancement in the company I need to be in his inner circle and I can achieve that by spending off work hours doing off work things with him. I'm now looking for a new job. FYI, I was in the quadrant that is competent but not…
