So I’m not sure if this belongs here but i work at an art gallery and basically we just get a bunch of super rich clients who buy shitty work because it’s a way to invest their money which looks legit (basically just an official way of money laundering) and we had this old guy just buy a work for €75.000, i checked out his website and it turns out he’s a “high fashion” leather maker and he has this super cringe website (not gonna post it- don’t wanna lose my job) and he has this creepy video of him showing the process and they show the workers of his factory and they’re all brown/black POC’s working in the manufacturing part and then when they show the “fashion” part (where he makes ugly shoes and watches from the leather) it’s him (a white old fart), and other white pieces of…

Thank you all for being so supportive of me dealing with my job the past few months (I have multiple Reddit accounts and sometimes post on the other ones) lol but still. Today I am quitting a narcissistic, micromanaging workplace that has an owner who has publicly humiliated me and verbally abuses their employees. Terrible benefits and work culture. I gave a 2 week notice but planned to quit after I got my paycheck. I got my paycheck and I am quitting at end of day. Happy to say that I am transitioning out of corporate and will have better pay and benefits and the work culture at my new job seems great and supportive and I actually care about what they stand for. I will never work in corporate America again. And I will take the next 11 days to heal and enjoy life. Thanks again.

It’s mandatory for management to read this before our management meeting. Getting into it, it’s pretty vague, but the more I read it feels like it’s essentially advising to drop more responsibility/jobs on the staff due to staff shortages while going about it very nicely so that they won’t quit, and so that management has less responsibilities? I don’t know how I feel about this book or the fact that it’s “mandatory” that we read it. I work in resorts/hotels… so I’m used to the powers that be trying to make their staff drink the koolaid, but this is ridiculous. I just started this job too, caught multiple red flags on my second day, the book being one and the fact that the staff receives no percentage of the service charge being another. I hate hospitality so fucking much, and I truly just hope it crumbles.
