Hi, I need advice. I'm from the Philippines and I made a mistake before with a previous employer. I stayed 4 months with the BPO employer. I was offered 27K monthly for a Citi account. I enjoyed the training and was looking forward to the time I'll be the one sitting behind the desk and taking in phone calls. However, it was already 4 months yet they couldn't provide logins. I followed up a lot regarding the logins, and sat like an idiot in Ops, got called as a walking library since I was very familiar with the tools and the resolutions from training. That was the only thing I could do at that time since I wanted to show I am eager to work. Yet I still didn't have logins and the Ops Manager, whenever she got angry, she'd take her anger out on us since we would be…

Hello! I am really frustrated and need advice. Please understand I’m in therapy and have multiple disorders and I am trying to not put so much effort into work. I love the actual job. I work with kids with mental disorders and it’s fulfilling. But I’m not getting paid what I should and I feel like the actual wage I wanted is tied behind a different role where they are dangling a carrot 🥕 in front of my face. I am going above and beyond every single day because that’s my disordered self and how I do things but I’m under appreciated and under valued and under paid. Also I’m male and a lot of the staff in my field as well as the managers are all female. I don’t think this matters but just feeling really frustrated. Besides taking care of the kids how do I stop putting so…

I've applied for a handful of associate-level jobs that are asking for long-form responses to many of the first-round interview things we'd go for. One company asked even for my resume, cover letter, writing samples, references, etc. ALL OVER AGAIN, as well as filling out a 15-question questionnaire they emailed me before an actual interview. After doing all of that, the company did not even schedule an interview for me. Has anyone else on the job search encountered these or just me? If it's just me, that's fine, and just consider this me ranting

This was a large workplace and we used an old time punch in time clock. There were about 35 employees all needing to check in on the same clock. We’d be standing around before 08:00am waiting for our turn at the clock. Sometimes the clock would punch is in at 7:58, sometimes 08:01. This drove our supervisor crazy. The 7 people in our department were told at staff meetings that we needed to clock in at 08:00 exactly. I asked if we were shorting time. No, we were usually right on 8hours or a bit over, but we needed to stop doing that and check in exactly on time. I asked her how we were supposed to do that if even one of the employees took more than two seconds to punch in. This wasn’t her problem. Her problem was having to do the math on our timesheets. We were…

Hi everyone, I recently as in 5 minutes ago decided to go review my Job Duties as stated in my contract and I realized I have been performing activities outside of my contract for the last 8 months. My boss asked and I always said yes but now I realized I could just have said no, or yes if I was getting payed more for it. Is there any good way to change this in my favour or did I dig myself a hole for doing all of it for this long without really noticing? My workplace is good and I have mostly positive feelings about my job so I don’t want to burn any bridges but also my direct supervisor is changing in a few weeks and I think it would be a good opportunity for me to bring this stuff up.
