For ~7 months, until last Thursday (technically Monday), I worked a 12hr shift factory job. I would love to name it but they only have one plant in my state and I’d rather not doxx myself. Like with every job until now, I became the well known “yes man” there, and the one to push all extra tasks onto. There was never a complaint about me and I never complained about anyone else despite being borderline harassed by all around terrible people. I had coworkers who snuck off the bathroom to do drugs. One ended up breaking her arm on shift and refusing to go to the hospital just so she didn’t have to do a drug test (it was honestly pretty impressive). A coworker who watched porn while working machines. A coworker who openly bragged about baby trapping a minor. A coworker who cussed out another coworker over not…

Im switching jobs and I have no clue about negotiating. The range is $23.50-28.50 (from the company’s HR rep), I saw on Glassdoor the job pays abt $24. So I expect an offer of $24. Idk anything about negotiating tho and I’d like $25 at least. I was thinking of saying “I was hoping for $27” if it’s under $27, so I at least get $25. Any advice? It’s a lucrative field that involves a lot of hours. It’s also entry level so they can train others, so it’s not like they’re dying to have me. I’ve under priced myself twice in this process and don’t want to do it again

I've done on average 55-hour-weeks in a demanging desktop job since December. I worked all day and all night on wednesday, did not sleep a minute yet did full eight hours the day after. I've sacrificed my social life, my hobbies, my sex life with my bf, and my physical fitness to do good in this job. I've not even reported all my hours to payroll, because I felt some tasks took me too much time to complete and it was my fault for not being fast enough, but I wanted to do them well and carefully anyway. And today I got told I've worked too slow and my managers suspect I'm being lazy and stealing company time. Is this worth suffering for 1 – 1,5 more years to get the CV points? It's a respected company and an alright position, which will be regarded well once i'll apply for…

Preparing mine, and I’m inbetween what to send. Professional, laying it all out there or subject : sorry – body : sorry for your loss, it’s me I quit.

Thoughts? I am a single man in his mid 20s.

I build some of the world best audio transducers. Today we had a company meeting. We were told the last month was the busiest ever in company history. We were told we all deserve a big thank you. I’ve been told by multiple people that my hard work is going noticed and people/engineers are coming to me and telling me they’ve heard how diligent I am. This is an extremely detailed job with tons of memorization. The highest quality is checked every step of the way. I get paid same as a fast food worker during record company profits. I have multiple degrees. I love this job except for the pay. But I’m definitely leaving soon if they don’t pay more.
