I often go back and forth telling myself that I don’t need others validation to tell up I’m doing my tasks with completion and correctly. Sometimes, it does feel nice having a colleague tell me that I’m doing a great job but I’ve learned to not fully get upset by it or get to hung up on it lately.

Pretty much the above question. If they haven’t already stated the salary or how much you’ll be making at the position, do you guys then bluntly ask about the salary? Would love to hear it from you guys!! Thanks in advance!!

Hello all, There was a survey done in our company and at the end they addressed people's concerns about pay. They showed a pie chart that broke it down. About 75% of the company spends funds on workers pay, like 20% on our Healthcare benefits, and claim they only make a 5% profit and cannot afford to raise wages.

A wage that will kill them, make them sick, become homeless, live in a tent, be abused? When you go to the grocery store, get an oil change, drop your kids at school, should these people have a DYING WAGE? END DYING WAGES. END THE DEATH SALARY (I recommend adopting these terms – please don't…

Apparently a man was reading in the break room. A woman colleague asked if he likes reading and he said yes. Apparently that creeped her out enough to report him to HR. Then he was reprimanded. I thought he must've been reading something really creepy so I sided with her until I found out that she didn't even know what the book was. Turned out to be just a regular fictional book. Idk was this a bit out of line? It seemed a bit much? Opinions?
