So after 10 years working here, I had a big kick-off with the CEO and he told me to take 2 months off.

Context: I work for a charity and we've been operating for 10 years, so basically I started from the beginning and I've seen the charity move from $100k a year income to $25m – I'm in charge of fundraising so I've undergone training and built up skills to manage everything and personally, I've raised tens of millions over the years, helping many people worldwide – I've even had to be in close proximity to dead children in the recent Turkey earthquake disaster, I've been through flooding zones, war zones, had armed security across multiple countries, , but I've done what I've done for humanity's sake as my passion lies in helping people. So this said charity operate on a 100% donation policy meaning no money donated is used for wages, rent, marketing or admin costs, so naturally they're not able to pay amazing salaries and I completely understand, even though…

I just wanted to have a small house and a family – if I cant even reach that – might as well just live from social security

I just wanted to have a medium sized house with a medium sized garden and like 2-3 kids to raise and see grow. A family. A normal boring Middle Class life. Together me + GF make 20-30% above the average/median wage – yet a house is out of the question. We have enough saved for a down payment buy if we borrow 400 000 from the bank – we will have to pay 600 000 back over 30 years. Kids would be our financial suicide. Either GF stays at home – then we lose like 40% of our income – or we pay for daycare – which would eat up around 30% of our income. Also we would never have the time to see/do something with our kids. Im really tired of this shit. And even more how politician that make 10-100x what I make complain that young people dont…

I have learned that far too many people use going to an office as their only socialization as a human. Usually they do not have family, nor friends. Work is it for them. Let “them” all meet at the water cooler. Meanwhile, let the rest of us work remotely and we will catch them via video.

I was hired for a specific position, but am now being forced to do the work of another position as well without compensation

Title says it for my TLDR people. I was hired by a property management company to be the groundskeeper for an apartment complex, the apartment complex I am also a tenant of… I should note I was hired part time at 30 hours per week, and given the opportunity to work as an umpire at the local baseball league in town in the evenings… seemed like a great gig working from home basically not having a daily commute. My initial manager had made it clear that my job was to take care of the property, that being exterior work, and that was it. For example, pick up garbage, power wash sidewalks, basic landscaping, etc. Well the hiring manager left the company, and I got a whole now regime. The new manager is a huge bitch… she has treated me like shit from the jump, basically telling me that I was…

This is what my boss did to me at “Max horsemeatburgers”, lying to me about monthly salary and changing it after a month. Now I’m getting late to work everyday and working 30% slower just to piss them off until I find a better job
