Upper management in their obsession to make sure that nobody is “slacking off” wants our department to make a list at the end of the day of everything we worked on and give them 8 hours of work. It’s insulting and degrading because they indirectly are telling us that we are lazy , is insulting because I don’t have to explain my work, specially when our schedule adherence is extremely high and we tend to complete all our required tasks . But yet they complain and say that we take too many breaks , talk too much , or simply we are not fast enough . I don’t think is their business what we do as long as we deliver results and following the required procedures. This is just some micro management crap because their whole thing is to make their employees lives miserable

I’m frustrated considering I was initially told all of my team’s salary was level set. Obviously not. Please share you tips for leveraging this information to request a raise! If Im denied a raise then I guess I’ll be in the market for a new job

Had a third interview scheduled today for a position via teams that I prepped for, bought a webcam, researched the company, position, interviewer, left work early the whole 9. Interviewer was 25 minutes late, half way through the usual questions she tells me to hold on and turns her camera and mic off for 20 minutes!! When she finally came back she told me that she was just informed that the position I was interviewing for has been canceled. Then she has the audacity to ask me if I’d like her to call me if they have another opening in my field, no ma’am I would not. This was a senior position too. Interviewing is absolutely exhausting.

As the title says I need a second a job and I don’t know what to do. I currently work as a cashier for less than $200 a week above minimum wage and now I need a second job to just make ends meet. I have union benefits, vacation, and sick pay so I can’t just quit but I can’t contribute anything to my household and my family will have to move soon and I’m just so frustrated. I did something nice for myself and went to a concert and now I just feel guilty I even went. I did installment plans wherever I could just to make this happen. I probably have a second job lined up for possibly August or September but I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to dig myself out of this hole that I’m in before then. I just don’t know how I…

When people have nothing that's not a life; it's just survival, what's the point?

So yesterday I applied to a job I thought looked amazing (related to forestry). Today I got a call and had the weirdest and most concerning pre-screening interview of my life. This is how it went down: Hiring Manager (HM): Hi is this the applicant? Me: yes HM: Ok…. I looked you up and saw you posted “Eid Mubarak”. Is this true? *At this point I'm thinking maybe he's had issues with islamophobes and wants to confirm I'm not going to be against him.* Me: I don't remember doing so but a lot of my friends are Muslim so I wouldn't be surprised if I did. HM: So you support the oppression of women? Me: No I don't. But a lot of religions have a history of oppressing women HM: That's not true. Think of Muslim countries. So what do you say about the women being forced to wear the…

Mine is: “You only care about my labor.” If corporate wants me to also value the company that pays me and the experiences I can learn from; then corporate needs to do the same thing for their laborers. If you want us to care about something other than money, then give us something to care about. You can't have it both ways.
