Yes, some employers are bad, as are some working conditions. If you are able to self-employ that may be ideal. But honestly reading through the daily posts on here, many people are just lazy. Some of your lazy asses are also struggling financially because you are lazy. This should be an environment to productively “anti-work” not complain about your employer because they actually expect you to work when you are not on breaks. Most posts on here aren’t even consistent with the posted mission of the subreddit. It’s just to complain. Edit: example this post here. What is the point? He’s angry cause he thought he was gonna make $90/hr as a customer rep at planet fitness—where memberships are like $10/mo—, which is clearly a typo, cause who in their sensible mind would even believe it wasn’t a mistake.

My company gave out less than 3% year end pay bump last year and I just saw a figure of 8% for inflation. I'm curious if anyone or any company actually gave out pay increases of 8% for inflation. Any examples of companies actually doing the right thing here?

If this isn’t the right sub for this please kindly tell me to fuck off so I can take the post down. 2 days ago my boss told me they are looking for 2 new ppl to recruit so I could introduce anyone I knew. One part-time position with no skills required and one full-time position with the exact skill set of the coworker in question.

I was a little confused because my boss mentioned two ppl. And…
