I've been at this company a few years, pay is meh but benefits are great. People almost never get fired, but that also means else most of management has failed upwards. The politics are ridiculous, my department is rudderless and most of my projects get cancelled before they're finished. Problem is, I really care. I really want to do good work and I find it takes a toll to lie about things that are clearly false. And I keep watching and working on projects that are just wastes of money and it takes a piece out of me. I also suck at the political games. I like to tell the truth and I don't like brownosing, which is clearly expected of me. So how do you manage not to care? Cause I don't want to change jobs just yet, I want the benefits, but I care too much about doing…

Recently my employer has been cracking down on double time hours (I work in EMS so there’s plenty to go around). Normally if we call out of a shift we get an occurrence point and if you get enough of them you get a verbal warning and then a written warning all the way up to termination. My question is if I’m looking for coverage and I find it but the person I find would wind up being paid double time, can my employer deny the swap and give me an occurrence point for not being able to find someone they wouldn’t wind up paying double time for? I’m not sure what my state laws are but I live in CA.

Gonna try to summarize this as much as possible. The company is Boeing btw. I am a level 2, and I was approached to take over the work and fix the errors of a level 5 employee because quite frankly she was terrible at her job and was moved to another project (still level 5 tho). I was promised a promotion to a level 3 if I took over the work. Issue is this was all verbal, although my lead was present for all communication. This happened back in February, the work was transferred, my work load tripled, and no promotion was given. Back in March, I reached out to my direct manager about it, she said that she would get with the manager who made the promise/proposal, and I haven’t heard from her since. In fact, she’s cancelled every monthly 1-on-1 since then, and hasn’t made a effort to…

Not sure what is like in the states but here the public service is a pretty good gig. You get more working private but the conditions and package make it hard to leave. Decisions like this put more pressure on the private sector to either increase wages, or match conditions, or risk losing more workers to the public sector. It's also easier for large unions to bargain with single employers. https://www.9news.com.au/national/working-from-home-public-sector-union/ Is government work in the states considered good work? Are working conditions generally better, equal or worse than the private sector?

I’m deciding whether or not this new job opportunity is worth it. Yearly bonuses will only come out to 2k-2.5k what is the more financially smart job decision

This is more just a huh post than anything else. My official title is data entry coordinator. My boss thought my title had changed to specialist when I got my last raise but when we checked it hadn’t. One day the manager referred to me as the Information Coordinator and I said I like that title better because it actually encompasses what I do much more accurately. Then I noticed that an employee at another location has that title and does the exact same job as me, only difference is she’s been there 11 yrs to my 1.5 yrs (I make more than her though already) but am not given the same title. Well I decided that should be my proper title and will request it formally be changed but I changed it on my resume and linked in. Just the title. Nothing else. And suddenly I have recruiters and…
