I’m a motion graphics designer trying more freelance remote work, I get these scam messages almost 90% of the time. It’s like working anywhere sucks, weird.

I’m an HR and I just need to get this off my chest

Writing this just to get it off my chest because I wan’t to cry. So, I’m (f22) a fresh grad and I got a job as an HR in a small firm. For context, I’m the only HR here and there’s less than 20 employees in my office. We just had an office outing a couple weeks ago, It’s basically a paid vacation for 3 days (with 2 days on the road and 1 day with full itinerary, I have my own opinion about this but that’s another story). Back to the problem, today 2 of our employees submitted their resignation letter. This pissed my boss off because “we spent money for the outing and now they’re basically being ungrateful”. So my boss told me to make all of our employee sign a pact tomorrow that state: If the employee participated in the outing 2 weeks ago, they can’t resign…

Manager fudging time cards

I realized today that my manager is changing my Time card to end exactly at my scheduled EOS time, despite the fact that I am always working 15-20 minutes over because I am still on a call or working. We’re expected to take calls exactly up until EOS and leaving the queue before is a fireable offense. It adds up as at least 150 minutes over a pay period, which would be considered OT too. Is it dumb saying something or bringing it up in the long run? I brought it up to my coworker who noticed the same thing but didn’t think it was a big deal

Hourly rate for old company as consultant?

Hello, I left my job a couple of weeks ago, but I could work for them as an external consultant for 1 week per month as they haven't found a proper replacement yet. There are some tasks that only I could do within the required deadlines, so I am looking for a realistic hourly rate that I should charge. I know I should get as much as possible, but I am looking for some realistic numbers and based on some of your actual experiences. Let's say that my total salary expense for the company was 40$/h, would you charge +100$, 80$, 60$ per hour or something else? Or at least, what could be my minimum range be? Thanks for the help.

Can your boss legally make you “find your replacement” if you decide to leave?

My boss said “I trust you will help me find a replacement if you decide to move on to something else”. Is this legal or ethical? Or what the fuck? I guess. I felt so awkward cuz I’m doing VERY specialized work with a ridiculous skillset. No way I could find someone or even teach them without spending years.

Utterly miserable tipping distribution

Hey y'all, I made the mistake of eating out at an Earls chain in Canada, and I asked how the tip was distributed. Between kitchen staff, waitresses and front of house (the working class) a full NINE percent of the tip is split. The remaining NINTY-ONE percent goes to the capitalists. I have never felt so sick at a restaurant. I provided a 0% tip and asked if she would accept an etransfer en lieu. Guys and gals. We need to change how tips are distributed. Don't tip through the machine, and don't provide anything that can be reclaimed by management. I will be tipping exclusively via etransfer from now on.
