I used to work for a large bank, and they were having trouble with high turnover. HR had a meeting with us and wanted to know how they could improve worker morale without increasing pay or giving us more benefits. Could luck with that!

My father is not really the best person in the world, but it bothers me when someone says I'm lazy. I was complaining to him about the hours I'm working cause I am basically going to work and going to school without anything really in between…. and this bothers me because I'm just now being able to go out and actually live my life! Before I moved in with my grandma, I was basically confined to my house because my mom wouldn't let me go or do anything because I was a “bad kid and would get into trouble”. I am a full time college student and I just got my first job as a hired part time….. at least that's how it started out. Fast forward and the store I work at has only two people, me and my boss. So now I'm working 50-60 hours in two weeks.…

I work as a health care contractor for a few different companies and was hired on with a new company because my mother needed extra members for a team. We have been testing college students for COVID and commute for work. We commute about 230 miles round trip, and recently there was an adjustment to mileage. The company would no longer cover mileage more than 150 miles. My mother wanted the change to mileage in writing since it had been changed to avoid further alterations in the future since it would be a huge deduction to pay. However this was not the first change that had occurred while we working with them. The owner decided to fire my mother and myself after their phone call got out of hand. I had never talked to the owner of the company nor have I had any issues before this. I don't understand…

So, as the title says it, I had a DM tell me I wasn't worth much, so I proved them wrong. I worked for an auto parts store and was patient enough to wait an extra 3 months for my review, promotion, and raise. I finally got my review after my DM told me I couldn't go find another job that would actually pay me $15 or $18 dollars to start. At this point, I was making $11.50 an hour after 2 years and a 25-cent raise with a forced raise by another manager who stepped in and gave the whole store a raise. My boss refused to catch up and do reviews for any of the employees so I went above him and straight to the DM whom I thought was a good guy, turns out he didn't really care much either. I finally got my raise and promotion,…

Or is this just ny company? Just seems extremely dystopian to me that my company realized that the majority of employees are fine working from home (or even with a hybrid approach) and are now trying to make it about the perks of “returning to each other” rather than going back into the office (even though that's very clearly still what it's about) If this is just my company, might be time to find a new place to work lol

I did what I was told. I went to college and scrounged enough food to live. I wore filthy clothes to save money. I wore them until they fell apart. I didn't have streaming services so I could save money. I drank tap water because it was free. All of the bullshit I put myself through to save and get out only to find that I'll have to live the rest of my life like that just to pay back the loans. I genuinely think about driving into oncoming traffic every day I go to work. I have a shitty job at a shitty company, surrounded by shitty people. I have wasted the one resource that I will never get back. My time. I burned through the best years of my life trying to make whatever I had left slightly better. I'll never get that time back. That's why people…

Do you have to pay a fine or something? For what I understand you don't have to pay anything if you live in the us. In my country (Italy) you have to give 15 days notice otherwise 15 days of your wage will be retained from you. So here is the question. Why my US friends keep giving the 15 days notice when is not in your advantage at all? I love my us folks very much Sorry for my bad English

I’ve come to the conclusion that Christian sharia (don’t say gay, report trans kids to child services, fine teachers who teach things that you don’t agree with religiously, book burnings) is a reaction to the gains labor made during the pandemic. Part 1: declare pandemic over Part 2a: start a culture war Part 2b: start an international war Part 3: go back to abusing workers and see if enough get tricked into voting against their self interest in the culture war, or enough poor kids go off to war & nationalism catches up others who might engage in class warfare. All our institutions have failed us, and now the Handmaid’s Tale laws, and war…. it’s reactionary. They are wedges to crack this movement. Please stand strong, and ignore these wedges.

I used to work for a company that had some vacant roles and never filled them. The thing is we actually put out job postings and received tons of resumes and held interviews that I was a part of – We actually needed to fill these roles. But a week later the bosses would decide not to move forward and the position would stay empty. The hiring process and training was too much effort, apparently. Penny wise and pound foolish, I say. I've also found out that a lot of positions I left were never backfilled even though I saw postings for these jobs online. Many positions I've applied for along the years were also never filled, even though HR said they desperately needed them filled when I interviewed with them. I often wonder how many employers bitching about how no one wants to work, or companies/businesses with skeleton crews,…

Hello everyone. I finally did it. Mid group call meeting I realized I was fed up with this workplace and just….signed out of the meeting. I powered my computer down, deleted all work apps from my phone and realized I'm quitting. I need to go into the office tomorrow to collect my things and give my resignation letter. I will not be giving two weeks notice, it is effective immediately. But I have never written a resignation letter, and never not given notice. This job was doomed to fail from the start, and, being set up for failure, I failed many impossible tasks. It is the very reason the last 2 people in my role have quit. Management takes no notice of this and thinks that I am just underperforming. I am fed up with the role and I believe management is frustrated with me. How to I write a…
