At what point do I resign?

I have been working for the same company for 4 years now. It is a small design firm with about 18 other employees. I have been trying my absolute best for the past year hoping that my bosses would recognize and respond with higher pay. Nothing. Finally I got called into my bosses office today to discuss the upcoming year and he gave me a $2 an hour raise. I asked him if that was the best that he could do and that I have really being trying to go above and beyond over that past year. He said that he could definitely tell and that I have been doing an incredible job. However, the company does not have any headroom to increase my pay any further. This is coming from the man who just bought a brand new HUMMER EV. At what point do I move on from this…

Forced work interactions

So looking for some advice on a current situation I am on at the moment. I have worked for the company now since October. Was very excited about starting, fresh start and all that. Since starting I have had some pretty heavy news about my mum being really ill. Which resulted in me being more quiet than normal, I'm normally quite a reserved guy in work anyway but this made me very quiet with my colleagues. I'd still engage in conversation but preferred to just focus on work as it's been hard mentally. Performance wise I wasn't perfect as it is a completely new industry for me. Which resulted in my probation being extended, I understood their reasoning and points to work on performance wise. Since the probation review I have had regular meetings to make sure the points to work on are being worked on, which is fine. Today…

If I wanted to “be acknowledged” couldn’t I just tell my team lead? More like “make sure to sign your name so we know who to fire”.

My boss asked me to set multiple alarms throughout the night to check my phone……..

He wasnt talking about a one time event either, no big things coming up too. He wanted me to wake up every few hours….. just to check my phone. I honestly thought it was a joke so I laughed a bit and said “haha Ya, I'm not doing that”. He did the whole “Why are you laughing? I'm seriously asking. Would you be able to do that?” I said absolutely not. Then he offered a compromise of “How about just 6am? I don't think its unreasonable to ask you to wake up at 6”. I again told him thats a ridiculous request and I'm not doing that either. Also for background I start work at 9am. And he was talking about ALL days, holidays, weekends, weekdays.

Why is it that Americans will riot and attack the capital for an ahole like trump, but won’t for their own rights and will happily keep bending over and taking it?

I read this subreddit and hear all the horror stories and all I can think is, wow I'm glad I don't live in america. You guys keep saying lets organise and take back our rights, but for some reason you'll only do that for a narcissist like trump. WHY?

My little anti work story. Worked for this firm as a driver 2016.. fell behind on my council tax and they wanted to garnish my wages. Called in to office and the owner said I need to “live within my means”. Funny how the turn tables.. they went bust 2020. Sorry about the website link.

Which one of you was this? This ain’t how you do it. This is as bad as those fake bills with bible quotes. Don’t be an asshole like this person for the love of god.
