I have been at the same job for going in 11 years. It’s absolutely horrible. I found another job in the same industry that would have paid me so much better and been life changing but they asked for a hair drug test. I can absolutely pass a urine test but likely not a hair one. This isn’t a job that requires heavy machinery or driving or really any reason to make sure you don’t occasionally smoke some pot. I have been in this same industry 15 years with never having had a drug test. I’m just sad. I feel defeated. I’m so good at what I do and love what I do. I just can’t do it at my current place anymore.

Hello everyone! I swear, this isn't a “feel bad for me” type story. I lost my previous job due to them moving out of state. I had an offer to move with the company and retain my position, but for the pay being offered and assistance with moving costs, it wasn't worth it to me. I would have had to uproot my life and leave my friends and family far behind for a job that paid just enough for me to keep rent paid and gas in my car. Not worth it. ​ I figured, no big deal on finding a new job. My resume was updated and revamped prior to this as I knew when my end date was well in advance. I figured with my track record I'd have a new job in no time. So far I've had a couple interviews and not much else though. I…

We all need to fight this one tooth and nail. I refuse to ever go back. If we all band together they can’t force us back into the offices. Who is with me?!

I got fired from my last daycare because i “was too slow with working with kids” by that my boss meant that i didnt yell at the kids and id actually try listening to them to understand why they were sad/mad. im a firm believer in not yelling at kids. theres so much better things to do to get the kids to listen to you. Anyways, i thought if i reported them to DSS for yelling at kids id be overreacting. But im in a daycare now that actually cares about the kids and oh my god guys this is the best daycare ever. I never realized how horrible my last one was until i came here. I talked to my parents to see what they thought about me reporting the former daycare and they told me to go for it. Im glad i did!

I work for a financial at the lowest position the company has. I get paid decently, but I’m in school (that I pay for with this job and loans) and have expenses. My boss wants to take up collections for us to donate our money and/or our PTO (to someone who is sick, but is in a higher-paid position than me) and I’m not going to donate through the company (I may send the coworker some baked goods or a meal when he gets home post-surgery). The company’s lack of PTO/Paid Sick Leave and the USA having absurd medical bills for people suffering is a major problem and I understand this man is probably suffering, but it feels wrong that I’m being pressured to provide what the company won’t. Why can’t we solicit donations from the C-Suite instead? Edit: I don’t give permission for this post to exist outside Reddit.

He doubles down on his idea that if you can go out to dinner then you can go to the office. Says you can’t build a career from home as careers can only be made stuck in an office. What a tone deaf tool…. https://www.advisorhub.com/morgan-stanley-ceo-says-workers-staying-despite-office-push/

Told them to give me a raise or lay me off. We're only a few weeks from our busy season (construction/heavy equipment) so I'll take a couple weeks off until then if it comes down to it. I have no mercy for these companies anymore. If you're not going to pay me, you're not going to play me.
