And no one could figure out why, everyone got different answers. If y’all are out there making things uncomfortable for your employers today, I’m (with pleasantness and good manners) trying to make it as expensive as I can for them just in case I’m inadvertently caught up in something bigger than myself. Cheers y’all.
I contacted Human Resources ELEVEN WEEKS AGO to enquire about if I'm eligible for 10 years long service leave but they have been telling me they'll “look into it and get back to me”. I'm not quite sure what is involved in working out if someone is eligible for long service leave but almost 3 months seems a bit excessive? For reference I'm living overseas so I can't go and see them in person. And it's not a massive company either.
I’d just like to thank this sub for the amazing support!! Even though I really only posted once here it’s been so helpful and eye opening in so many ways. I used to work overtime and weekends only to be verbally abused and have other people take credit for my work. Now I’m just doing my job from 9 to 5, no overtime, no weekends, no more answering the client whenever they want! I don’t worry about it as much as I once did and if they’re unhappy they’re more than welcome to fire me :).
So, I'm obviously a member of this subreddit and also part of the Anti-Work group on Facebook. But, I also joined what is essentially a networking group for women. At least, that's what it's advertised as. What it really is, is “Rich women complain about their husbands and that they're not richer.” It's absolutely mind-boggling the sheer disconnect some of these people have. Like 75% of the posts boil down to either “I have too much money and I don't know what to do with it :(” or “My spouse makes less than me, should I divorce them??” Obviously, I don't share my anti-work sentiments there, at least not overtly, because I need the networking aspect if I'm going to get a half-decent job. (The whole point of me joining the group, really) But tonight I slipped up and commented on a post about how money isn't evil. I said…
I thought that I would share this with you all. So this was at the end of 2020 and I was looking for work. I had two companies that I was interviewing with. One company was wonderful, I will call them company A: Straight to the point, direct, and clear about expectations, role, etc. The other company, Company B was not the same. Here is my experience. At this time I was unemployed (I will mention why this is important in a bit). When Company B were supposed to call me for my initial screening interview, the time came and went with no phone call. I emailed them after waiting for 10 minutes to ask if I had the right time for the interview (aka “I am waiting, where are you?”), and after an 30 minutes, I sent another message to say “I am sorry that I missed you, please…
I work in a firm which was acquired by the one of the biggest media company in world. Here's the problem I get paid $200 a month. Out of which $53 is only given when I am not absent and work night shifts. My rent – $80 Gas – 5$ per gallon Food – I have to think twice before ordering even a basic meal so I usually go without eating in my shift or I oats or bread I have been employee of the month twice, perfect attendance for 3 months and numerous praise emails from clients. After 5 quarter of reviews and assessment, someone told me upcoming appraisal after 1y 6 months is just $20. Management is floating in money, like living a better or equal lifestyle to europeans. About to say fuck you in few days. Wish me luck.
