A kid from an adjacent department told me that yesterday he gave his notice, and his supervisor asked him to submit a resignation to him (supervisor) before submitting to HR. He (colleague) asked me in private why that would be a relevant request. I'm a manager in my department and the one who handles the bulk of the exit work when someone on my team leaves. Basically I just keep HR in the loop and update the database and it's all good. I was honest with my colleague that I wasn't sure, but for my own reference I'm curious. Has anyone else heard of this situation? I see all kinds of horror stories here and get them from a lot of the younger folks I hire as well (often they're coming aboard after exiting the service industry). Is this some fresh bureaucratic horror, or just a poorly phrased request open…
I currently work part time at a retail store in the airport. I was looking to get a second part time job for more hours. I think about a month ago, I applied at another job in the same terminal. I got a call from them the day before yesterday, I was assuming for an interview. Because this job is in the airport , (I've interviewed for a few airport jobs before) interviews are usually held outside of the airport or you can meet with the interviewer at baggage claim and they can escort you through TSA. So it's a little bit of a plus if the candidate already works in the airport because they can just walk over to the store since they have a badge to get in already. After interviewing, your hired, then you apply for a badge which can take a week or so. My current…
It should easily be yes, they of all people don't live under rocks. However, the lack of self awareness in big corpo's social media presence induces a feeling of the big bosses not knowing how many people despise them. Musk, Zuckerberg, Bezos all have a certain energy when they make appearances, digital or in person, that scream “Hey, I'm great. Everyone likes me”. I know it's commercial and propaganda and everything, but still….
I want to work from home one day. But one of my biggest worries is getting a work from home job that uses remote monitoring software or tracking software. I want to know what are some tips on avoiding jobs like these or how to know if they use them before getting hired?
The backpedaling on this is strong. Bo, an Asian women, hosted 2 work events where women discussed their views of being labeled as Karen's. She was put on leave for hosting the event, but there is a screenshot of Chief People Officer Nikki Krishamurthy being on the panel of white women. “The following day, on May 18, Uber’s chief people officer Nikki Krishnamurthy shared in an email that Lee was asked “to step back and take a leave of absence while we determine next steps.” “While it was meant to be a dialogue, it’s obvious that those who attended did not feel heard,” Krishnamurthy added of the May 17 session. This is what bothers me about work environments. They try so hard to be inclusive on paper, but when shit hits the fan, the white execs who are also at fault throw minority execs under the bus to take the…
My company was making me do work for the other companies they created for free. Anyways, I asked for a $20,000 bump. My supervisor a proclaimed Feminist, acted like I spit on her face. She said, “I will talk to my boss”. I know they will lowball me, so I’m applying for other jobs.
Don't get me wrong, i know self-care helps build resilience, which is important to help us cope and overcome issues like overworking, burnout, fears of losing your job, fears of being broke, etc. But I really don't think self-care is the only solution to these problems. They don't help us confront adversaries that affects our mental health in the first place. These can even be harmful because it make us content with adversaries. By changing the way we think and feel, somehow the world will become a better place? I don't like how managers, team leaders, or employers are promoting self-care as the only solution to any work-related problems. Some problems are more systematic and a single people may have less control over it. It seems like a cheap way to increase productivity without making systemic changes, like more pay, more benefits, or even UDI or a welfare system. In…
