Loud Quitting

I'm almost to the end of a two year contract. I have told my employers exactly what I require to stay. One director actually laughed…. until she realized I was serious. I posted the NLRB document from our HR about discussing pay and wrote my number of years and pay per hour. It was taken down shortly after. I've tried training some of the new staff to do the various things I do in order to keep the place running but the new leadership and hires have decided they are going to do their own thing, reinvent the wheel and push out all the experienced people. Nuclear quitting option: no matter what happens, on the first of the year I am dropping a package of evidence to some state and federal regulatory agencies about all the deficiencies and shady practices.

You know you’re in a toxic work environment when…

You need to build a case to cover your own ass as a situation unfolds at work, when you discover your company's retention policy automatically deletes conversations in teams after 2 weeks…

Is it shitty to leave a new job two weeks in?

I started a new job about a week and a half ago. I really don’t like it, I am doing stuff that wasn’t expressed during the interview or application, I hate working in a cubicle and in general I’m not a fan of hospital work. My old job is now hiring for my boss’ position (she left same time I did) so now I’m considering going back and trying for that. Is it shitty for me to leave so quickly? I feel guilty, but I just don’t dig most of my duties. I have a pit in my stomach learning my duties and each day I’ve gone home feeling sad.

Guess How Much the USA Federal Minimum Wage Hasn’t Gone Up

I was curious about the history of USA Federal Minimum Wage and how it's increased over the years because I hear the BS excuse, “If you raise wages, then prices will go up” and I'm like, “It's already going up without wages increasing” and wanted to bring this to light in case my conservative quilt guild members spew that swill within my hearing. It's gone up $5 in 35 years. That's right, from 1974-2009 the minimum wage has gone up $5. Or would it be 5 decades (50 years) because there hasn't been an increase in the past almost 15 years? Isn't the 1970s in America when it started with the need to have both adults working to survive? I'm not familiar with this history. I just needed to rant how little the minimum wage in the USA has moved. It's disgusting.

Don’t always trust your managers

Just a quick one as I'm at work. You probably have all experienced this anyway. I'm working with two managers at the moment and I'm genuinely shocked at how massively incompetent they are. They are so busy struggling to do their job that they have no time to understand what their staff need or want. One of the managers employs a young mother who works Sunday, the mother wants Sunday off and I spoke to her manager about this and potentially bringing someone in to do Sunday. The managers response? I'm far too busy to go through the recruitment process. What a piece of shit. I just wanted to let people know (I wish I could've told my younger self this)

I found a document with a break down of all employee bonuses for the company I work for

I’m over here busting my ass for the POSSIBILITY of a 3% bonus (3% of my salary) while C-levels make up to %50 of salary in bonuses. What shall I do with this tangible, physical information lol this is the same company that couldn’t pay me a bonus last year because we were struggling.
