The title is pretty clear. A critical path team has had hilariously high turnover. 3 – 6 months per person tops, except for me, I chime in at 18 months. When I say critical path, I mean the company WILL fail. Not immediately, but clients will not renew because we will look completely incompetent and fail to meet our contractual obligations. With such high turnover, the knowledge of how these systems work is already fading in to the history books, lost forever. They have a very small window of opportunity to turn it around before it is too late. The cost? A million… probably less… $750k-ish a year to sprinkle around to turn 5 digit salaries in to strong 6 figure salaries, or double digit bill rates to triple for consultants. They are delusional. They are ignoring what is happening right before their eyes. They can fix it simply by…

Couple weeks ago we had new CCTV cameras installed in our office. There is already cameras at the exits of the building, and 2 in the warehouse area, which I think is fairly common and reasonable, for security/insurance purposes. Now we have 9 new cameras installed, all at work stations or inside an office, watching people, not stock or products. We each received a memo saying that the new cameras were for protection of the stock, since the warehouse is becoming busier and more full of products, and such holds more value. This is a pitiful excuse anyway since cameras already all the entrances/exits and the warehouse area, but to claim this while a camera now stares at me all day in an office, with no stock being held at all is just lying. For the first week or two nothing happened besides a few comments about “big brother” and…

When employers post any job on LinkedIn they have to mark which salary range it is in, mark it hidden from public, and then LinkedIn knows where to place it when we search for a job. It's infor the search engine criteria needs to be posted. There are many websites out there at the moment that you can use to find such hidden criteria. I found websites like this for real estate, to find out what a house is listed for if they have only put up price by negotiation, and for my local job listings search site, but not for LinkedIn. Basically the data I'm looking for would not need to be scraped or stolen from the back end of LinkedIn, it is available if you have the time to toggle your search results by dollar to find out the range for job postings in. I'm just hoping that…

I work with a bunch of boomers. Nobody has time for me or takes me very seriously. This is incredibly frusturating and sveryday I feel like I am fighting a loosing battle.

So fellow fed up workers I'm on the brink of a mental health collapse due to a client that treats me like shit that I've always been nice to and management attempting to cover it up. How to approach this for a lawsuit?

At the first interview 8 months ago, it was never mentioned that I'd need a drivers licence. My job description does not require it one bit, since I work with patients and their samples in a laboratory. Now, all of a sudden, even alongside 2 drivers we have hired AND all other staff members having pre obtained drivers licences, I need to get one aswell. In my country it's 100€ per month, for 12 months in a row of payments. My paycheck is 1000€ a month. Meaning a whole 10% of my paycheck would be allocated to a drivers licence I don't need at all. Neither my partner, parents nor I have a car. Nor do we need one… And now I'd have to get the license because “I'll use it anyway in the future for personal reasons”. No I won't. And I'm not paying for shit.
