I worked for a big tech company for over ten years. Every yearly review I ever had was above average, which wasn't hard because I actually enjoyed what I did ( maybe not the company so much, but my department was generally good). About year 2, management approaches me for supervisor work. I decline as I'm using continuing education and I'm up to my neck in work and school. Year 5, I've wrapped up a good amount of education and am pegged to lead a very important project where I'm the point of contact between two departments and two outside companies. Things go incredibly well, within 6 months the amount of work suddenly increases by 200%. At this time 10 full time team members are added, I'm in charge of cross-training and bringing every one up to speed. I hand pick the team, they are each incredible at very unique…

So a little while back my employer opted me and my colleagues out of our pensions. I wasn't particularly pleased but thought I would leave it as I was looking to leave in the very near future. (Haven't done so yet due to personal reasons). Now recently when I needed my employer the most to step up they have let me down considerably. I will be shortly retrieving my pension and what is rightly owed. I will be seeking legal advice before hand. Does anyone have anything I should look out for or be aware of before taking action?

But, my job sucks they just gaslit me today after I had my personal safety and job threatened by one of their partners for not agreeing with them, and on another occasion was called a dumb fucking bitch by a male partner, and then being told my supervisor “well it’s the industry you’re in they don’t know better?” So glad I filed my EEOC claim and recorded and documented everything. Plus the conversation where I was called a dumb fucking bitch was recorded. I’m looking forward to them explaining this behavior in court.

They said that while my back ground check comes in they’d job train me. Said they’d call me. That was two weeks ago, no word. No text. No email. No call. At this point I’m just embarrassed to call. How long do back ground checks take? What could be the hold up? Do employers ever just ghost applicants? I just want to work man. They said they needed people, I applied. Silence. Edit. It’s an apartment building maintenance job. I know for a fact people get hired quick. Within the week. I’m just down that I get no word. I want to work damn it

I didn't know exactly where to post this, but I'm hoping maybe some of you can help me out. Here's some background: I started teaching in 2002 and that has been my career since then. For the past 5 or 6 years, I've been desperate to figure out a different career because I would have to teach another 15 years (after this school year) to be able to “fully retire” through my state employee retirement system. I mean, in a way, I have a sort of easy job but now I'm teaching middle school and I'm struggling to get through every day. ​ I'm still fairly young (44), I've always been really good with photography and anything technical (computers, etc.), and I have a MA in Information and Learning Technologies. I've thought about trying to go into something in IT, but really haven't started anything with that stuff yet. Do…

On mobile so excuse any errors made, and if this seems incoherent. I’m not the best at writing out frustrations. I work at a place that does windows and doors. We build them, ship them, and that’s about it. We know we don’t exactly have a hard job, it’s actually quite easy and heavy lifting doesn’t happen often. My immediate boss is a good man for the most part, so all of my gripes are with the owners. So the gripes are mainly with pay. We’re underpaid for the industry. I get 11.50 an hour, our highest paid position is 13 an hour. We have zero benefits. For reasons unknown to me most people there have just put up with it and haven’t tried to get raises. I have been at this company for roughly a year and have seen one raise. I have learned more than one department and…
