I work in manufacturing. I get into work today and there is a letter in my time card slot. I am thinking “oh maybe it’s some kind of Christmas bonus, or even just a Christmas card”…nope. It was a solicitation for donations to purchase the owners a Christmas present. The owners that are literal multi-millionaires. The owners that decided last year to eliminate production bonuses and profit sharing for everyone except for those working in the office. I got a 25 cent raise this year after receiving “exceeds expectations” on my evaluation.
The supervisors that receive production bonuses will run us like dogs so they can make more money, yet they have the audacity to act like they are doing me a favor by employing me.
I honestly don’t hate my job, so I’m not going to quit over some out of touch baby-boomers, but the thought of it just pisses me off.
