Just walked off the job. Didn’t clock out. No good-byes. Never going back. No Fu**s left.

All supervisors at my workplace received an email today that stated if we are giving out reference checks or confirmation of employments for workers that we supervise, we MUST forward these requests that we personally receive to our internal HR/HR Manager. What the actual f*? In my honest opinion, if an employee is seeking another job, it should be none of their current employer's business to know what and where they are going. It makes things awkward and most people looking for jobs dont want their current place of employment to know, particularly a toxic one. Is there any breach of privacy laws going on here? The email was quickly “retracted” but it still feels absolutely invasive. If I am job hunting, that is none of my current employer's business to know. The fact that they are demanding this information is a bit much. And god knows what they would…

Exactly the title. I’m a technician in a (new) company. Literally entry level, you cannot get below me. I (stupidly) contributed to a culture where you’re paid badly but perform way above your duties, so people keep referring to me for duties that managers are supposed to do. I asked for a raise and got rejected. I asked to be funded for personal development and got rejected. I’m not going to be your contact for shit hitting the fan. Boss just text me this. I’ve already applied elsewhere. Enough is enough.

Had my review today and they offered a pay increase of 4% but with every one leaving the job has become that much more stressful. I told them I would be working for less money this year then last if I did not get 6%. They said that was the best they could do. So I am job hunting again after 10 years with the company. All of this over $1300.

This seems to be coming up a lot so here is a quick list of what to do in this scenario. DO NOT advise them that what they are doing is illegal. This will only work against you If the warning was given via group email, immediately “reply to all” and announce what you are paid. If the warning was given over a group chat/text, immediately respond and announce what you are paid. If the warning was given in a team meeting, immediately ask to speak and announce what you are paid. If the warning was made directly to you in private, immediately use whatever communication tool listed above will be most effective in announcing what you are paid. Wait patiently to be disciplined/terminated. If legally allowed to do so then secretly record the meeting. Again, DO NOT advise them that what they are doing is illegal. Be sure that…
