Hello there, fellow workers. I wanted to share an experience I've recently had that has left me questioning the purpose, the honesty, and the integrity of our corporate world. An experience that embodies the idea that, despite being more than qualified, one can still be overlooked in favour of outsourcing. Just a few weeks ago, I found myself in the running for a promotion at my company, one that I had been eagerly working towards for years. It was a role that would not only mark a significant career step for me, but it was also a chance to bring forth the innovative ideas I believed could make a difference in the company's growth. After countless hours of preparation, brainstorming, practising, and late nights, the day came. The presentation – a culmination of my hard work, dedication, and passion – was executed with flying colours. The room resonated with the…

I don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I’m going to give it a shot. Patricia, who is working the register and Robert, who is the sole bartender at Le Grand Comptoir in the Orlando airport—you are doing an amazing job! I sat here while three other employees didn’t do jack all while you both handled all of your customers, which were back to back. They talked about how they are expert coders, lol, but yeah… I hope that you guys see this, and know your worth. You deserve better than that manager who nonchalantly told them to get busy… you deserve better than having to deal with all this bullshit. You guys are rockstars! You even got me drunk, Robert. Much love. Find people that appreciate you. Fuck these assholes.

I am really not sure what to do morally and need some advice. I am a special education assistant. I work at a private school but I’m technically hired by and paid by a state run organization. Earlier in the year it was found out that I was not allowed to substitute for teachers by the organization that pays me. However, I can supervise kids doing technology time. So since this I’ve been asked to supervise outdoor celebrations, substitute but only have kids do tech/work on a packet the whole day, and do tons of makeup testing when we have standardized tests. For the most part I don’t hate my job, but I get really frustrated when I keep not being able to support kids that really need it. The biggest moral dilemma is that if I tell the organization who pays me, they might cut funding to the school…

I work as a data analyst and database manager for a midsized non profit. The salary is above average for the non profit world. PTO is good, 6 weeks or so, but there are designated windows. I have decided to leave mostly because I resent some of the work culture. For 13 years everything has felt chaotic and poorly planned. The executive leadership (with whom I work most closely) regularly has some emergency that requires putting projects aside to do some ridiculous task with no notice. There's a pride in working 60 hour weeks (though I do not and am not forced to). They add meetinga to my calendar without even notification of the meeting, let alone input for scheduling a preferred time. I also get no real supervision (blessings and curses I guess), and I don't have much respect for my bosses. Still, I had a job with enough…

Today a Boomer asked me that and honestly- I don't want to tell him or anyone else. That question feels so invasive. I didn't ask him that. That wasn't at all part of the conversation, since we were talking about me renting something.. Ugh. I just hate it. Wanna ask me how much money I make or what kind of house I live in as well? Maybe my GPA and what school I went to?
