Hello all. I’m in the US. I just accepted a job offer formally after negotiating for slightly more (.17 cents) hourly at that new job. After thinking about it, I think I am worth more than that and would like to ask again for a bump between .50 cents and a full dollar. As stated, however, I have already accepted the offer at the slightly higher rate. How would I negotiate a higher pay despite this? I was thinking of raising the point that I have just gotten an offer at a different firm that has a higher pay (which is true) and asking them to match. I have no real intention of accepting the other offer because it has such a higher workload but I do have leverage. What should I do? Thanks! This is a cross post on r/jobs as I wanted to get several perspectives.

Should that ratio be approaching 1:1 ina 13-person division? /s

Ok, let's me start this off by saying that I absolutely hate working for others (and being am employee). Not to sound weird, but this time around my colleagues are really great, the work pressure too is low with a good work life balance. However, once the increments comes in they are almost always in peanuts. I'm planning a side income but not very sure what to start. Being based out of an Asian country like India cound be taken into account. This is a genuine question. I probably would like to increase the side proj, into something I can fully grow and leave my work for, in next few years down the line. Any suggestions are appreciated. TL:RD:I'm a tech guy.

Personally, I think we should have replaced these two outdated institutions and instead use technology and automation to provide life-necessities for everyone without a price-tag. Decision-making could be handled by the scientific process in a cybernetic-system, making corruption less-likely to exist in society. But what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? And if so, why?

As the titles says. UK based. Let me give advice to those struggling in negotiations.

I am soliciting the help of tech savvy anti-workers to help me automate part of my job. Every morning as part of my job I need to send out a series of stock emails. The system is clunky and tedious for no apparent reason. This takes 30-45 minutes out of my day, time I would much rather be napping, scrolling Reddit, or wasting my bosses time in other ways. Worst of all, my pay is heavily metric dependent and these emails are not part of those metrics. This is all time spend that essentially SUBTRACTS from the incentive portion of my pay (which is probably why they don’t spend money to fix it, because the we would also produce more and get more per unit pay.) The system works as such, we use Salesforce (the most basic version) to compile customer emails. We then have numbered lists in sales force…

Would this be like staking a claim on someone who might have other irons in the fire? It's a bit invasive, and what if one party backs out after such an announcement?

I’m a maintenance worker for some moderately nice apartments in LA some homes less people sometimes come and take shits in our hallways my gf tells me i can sue or whatever I don’t really wanna do all that but sometimes my workers bitch I’m not doing everything I’m supposed too do but I still clean up that and it’s not what they explained to me I’d be doing my question being is it illegal for them too make me clean up literal human shit when my job is just clean and mopping hallways

I am thinking about giving up and working part time even if it will be probably troubling with the money. But I got two major burn outs already and feel like my body cant keep up with any kind of stress anymore. I am also scared of working part time. Not only the money but more like this pandemic alone made alot of people jobless and also the job market will be even harder if I give up on my current apprenticeship and education. Do you have any experience to share with me maybe?
