So the title says most of it. I'm an electrician for a small business and recently a new project manager for new construction got hired. Well there are three divisions at this company New construction, Service/Remodel, and apartments. I joined at a really turbulent time for the company in which pretty much no “good” people were getting hired.(because the owner is stingy) Well I usually have apartments to go and fix up but last week was a bit different. Every single Division lead says that I'm a great worker and that they always try to request me. Then owner noticed this an decided to give me a major bump in responsibility and pay. When I don't have apartments I usually get sent to a service call or put on new construction but when I get apartments I can leave at my discretion. I called out on Tuesday last week and…

Currently, he's a driver for a company. To my knowledge, there are designated drivers for the routes and they have to get the work done….or so it seemed. He has worked for this company for upwards of 5+ years. Always been on time, and never really called off sick unless he has to. He works a weird shift and I won't give the exact hours, but something like 1230AM to 10AM per week day. Over the course of this whenever he was severely ill his boss would guilt trip him. Saying stuff like “if you don't come in we have nobody else to do your route” even though, mind you, he was a backup driver before his legit route. This was at least 2 years ago, and to my knowledge they haven't hired a replacement backup driver Anyway, his wife got covid and so did he. They're both okay, but…

Title pretty much explains it. I get where everyone is coming from in terms of getting treated with respect, pay, and all of that. But what else makes a job/company attractive in this environment. Honestly looking for feedback.

Your company has plans to return to the office soon? If you want to continue working from home, will you be able to continue doing so?

I work in the manufacturing industry with about 10 years in the field now. Worked for a very well known automotive brand as a manufacturing engineer. First job. Ok pay but really bad work environment. Left that job last year for a much better offering from another company that approached me. Last place of work was extremely toxic and pretty much ruled by one manager who clawed his way up the ladder through the years. Typical shitty middle manager attitude towards employees. Complains a lot and never praises or appreciate the work put in. Constantly played favorites and found ways to screw over anyone that went against his ideas. Very loud with his words but that didn't reflect in his actions. I worked there for a while as it was my first job and I felt obligated to hang around because this manager kept feeding us with how it's bad…

Hello today marks 5 years since i started looking for a job, after having a single job. ive been taken care by my parents, mostly my father, he build me a small loft which i helped and a lot more things, but i live with my mom She does nothing to help but its okay, im an adult and im supposed to take care of myself. So anyways this week may be my last week with electricity and water since i found out my mother is planning to force me to get my own things. Sure, i get it, i dont pay rent yet i pay for my food, i have 1 to 2 months money for food and propane for cooking. i wasted more than i want to admit with bus tickets and cvs, its been 5 years and i barely even have an interview i guess its because…

Hi (20F) Had a massive cry about my hospitality job yesterday and my bf urged me to quit and look for another. It isn't a bad job. I just don't fit in. All the waitresses are older and been in the area longer whereas I am an awkward age and don't gel w anyone super well though Im polite to everyone. I'm new to the area and a casual worker, looking to make connections at work but I still feel uncomfortable around the crowd there. Unfortunately ive been sticking out this anxiety inducing environment for 6 months. The thought of interviewing and being the new girl again elsewhere makes me horribly overwhelmed but it could be for the best…It is quite a prestigious restaurant/ cliquey unwelcoming workplace and I feel like an outsider there still. I've never felt this way at a job. Anyway just needed to vent. Any advice…
