My department has been buried in a backlog of emails from clients going back to December due to being short staffed. This past week we dug ourselves out thanks to mandatory overtime. To prevent this from happening again senior management announced that an employee cannot carry more than 10 emails over into the next day. Same staff level, same work load, same average handling time requirements…so in short,the best solution management could come up with to fix a problem is to make the problem our fault

For some background, I'm likely leaving my current company for another agency that'll pay me nearly double. The staff that I work with are kind and hardworking but because of the stress of the environment, everyone's kind of pressured not to ask for raises and bonuses regardless of all the days we pick up. There's kind of a sentiment that management is stressed out under pressure to perform even though we've never perceived them as hard working or on our side since we can predict they'd side with administration when it comes to us. Anyways, I want to encourage as many people as I can, company over all has a maybe 2000 – 3000 employees and at least 1500 could leave for other places paying them at least 40% more. And for those not comfortable for leaving I want to at least encourage them to put their foot down and…

The title says it all, I am currently looking for another job because of personal and professional issues. I have gone to multiple interviews and they have all asked if my current boss knows I’m leaving. What would be the best answer for the questions like that during the interview?

I'm 18 a lube tech I've been at jiffy lube 4 months I get payed the least have the most experiance (2 years auto tech school) and get paid $60 a day to do nearly 30 oil changes its endless, we rip off customers$ wise and I dont make minimum wage I want to get tf away from automotive besides my own vehicles now and aim to be a web dev next year I live with parents and have a little savings. I feel I don't need this job rn I might drop my 2 weeks I do most all the work while 5 jackasses stand around and I get soaked in oil every day (I despise oil and hydrocarbon shit) and have ruined many clothes and boots in those 3 months I work part time 25 hours a week only make about 120-200 a check customers don't appreciate you…

Have you ever showed up the first day, only to realize the job listing, offer letter, or details discussed during the interview ended up having nothing to do with the actual team or job responsibilities they gave you? I started a new job this week! And the only thing that actually matched what we discussed in the interview were the pay and benefits. I ended up on a different team, different manager from offer letter, different tech stack from what was discussed in interview and job posting (I'm a software dev), and the nature of their company culture turned out to have far more micro-management than what was proudly proclaimed in the interview. Anyone else been blatantly misled in order for them to get a body in a chair?

Once again I got suspended because of a customer complaint, that absolutely never happened. I’m seriously thinking of just jumping the gun and quitting. It’s becoming to the point where I’m missing work for something I didn’t even do. I told them before I walked out that they need to believe their employees before customers because w/o employees there isn’t anyone to serve the customers.

Hi all. I'm in a job that pays pretty well for my level of experience in my area, and while it likely isn't the last job I'll ever have, I'm not looking to leave it anytime soon. Recently there was a call set up at 7 p.m. that I couldn't make because I had a sports practice that started at exactly 7. I'm preparing for a big tournament this week and I prioritize this sport as one of the few aspects of my personality and identity outside of my job. My boss is saying I should've made time for a 10-minute call during the work week. My position is that once I'm no longer at work (I work roughly 9-5, sometimes until 6), anything I do at that point is as a favor to him rather than something to be expected of me. I am a salaried employee, which makes…

So I was just offered a position (Job B) that would almost double my monthly income, (salaried) they want me to start as soon as possible. However, in my current job (Job A) we just got our yearly paid-time-off bank refilled. Since my state doesn’t require Job A to pay out the unused time I’m obviously trying to use as much as I can before sending my resignation letter. Since I have more than enough time off to last me more than 2 weeks, I was wondering if I could legally begin working Job B while on PTO payroll for job A? They’re both full time, Job A being hourly. What ramifications could come from this? TL;dr can starting my new job overlap my old one?

My office has a lot of different departments and has been holding “consultations” with different stakeholders in the organization about their plans to re-open to in person work, but in reality they have really just been giving everyone the run-around on it, and the workplace is not going to be safe in terms of covid transmission. I've gotten fed up with them refusing to directly answer stakeholder questions (and other staff being too docile to push them on it), so I decided to take an opportunity to talk to them directly. Let's say I'm from Department A. Recently, they were holding a consultation for Department B. I was free at the time of this consultation, and I have friends in Department B, so I decided to attend. While the meeting was intended for Department B, there wasn't ever any announcement that people from other departments couldn't attend. No one ever…
