Long time lurker first time poster. Please excuse the length, just need to develop the situation. **************** for the main point. I work at a retail travel agency that deals primarily with high-net-worth people. Prior to COVID, the office had 6 people in sales full time, now there are two. While they reduced the number of sales people, the number of “managers” was not and now there are three managers over two salespeople. Needless to say, there is little work for either of them, but they have been too complacent for too long to actually pitch in when needed. Anyway, now that travel is coming back quicker than ever, work has been picking up fast, and has Since coming back from a very brief trip at the end of January, I have finalized over 200 sales totaling over half a million dollars. While I do get paid on commissions, margins…
I hate the job market. I've been unemployed a little over a year now and I just had a series of interviews for a medical manufacturing company (one of the largest in the world) for a Quality Assurance position. The position wasn't entry-level, but it was still below my previous middle management levels of work. But I've been unemployed for a year and change, so I'll take what I can get now. I breezed through the screening and went into the office for a skills assessment, then had a zoom conference with the three hiring managers. During that call, they continually told me I was overqualified for the position and asked me why I wanted this job. The first thing I asked them was if they were hiring for a higher level that would fit me, they said no. Then I confirmed with them that after six months I could…
My regular boss went on maternity leave a few weeks ago. I loved her overall and she is one of the only reasons I stay at my job. Well, who took over for her while she’s out is a complete micro manager. Questions every single thing my team does. Has no trust in us. Her first interaction with me put such a bad taste in my mouth. Didn’t introduce herself, just emailed telling I had to do xyz. Didn’t even ask if I had questions. And what she asked me to do was not a normal thing I do with my previous boss. Needless to say I could care less about work. Fuck that place. People leave bosses not jobs. updating resume
Workers of Russia, the fate of the war is in your hands. The machine of war tramples your brothers and sisters in Ukraine, and even your fellow Russian soldiers!

So as the title suggests i got a hefty promotion and a big budget that lets me increase quality of life of our workers. Without saying too that will give away which company im working for ill be a bit sparse on the details ; my workplace has had a great deal of people quitting, which was reasonable considering the conditions we are lucky we arent getting sued. (this is not a American company btw, but a bit of googling suggests its pretty much the same workers laws) I kissed ass the get a interview with the owner and promised him i could fix the current situation in return for a promotion and a budget to make conditions better, and everyone thats a year 2 assosiate or above so far gets : the equivalent of a 5k usd bonus in cash Extra interview about a pay raise (we do them…
Should I leave a 2 week notice?
So I am currently working at a job with a very disrespectful and unprofessional regional manager. I am the currently manager at this current business and I pretty much run every aspect of the business (sales, marketing, day to day, cleaning, maintenance, talent recruitment, scheduling etc) while the regional manager works from home and puts all responsibility on me so he can work on his side business. Basically one day he came in (he comes in maybe once every 1-2 months) and noticed some dust on the ground. We were short staffed that day and we were a bit behind on cleaning. He threatened to fire me essentially saying he could replace me whenever he wanted if I didn’t want to do my job. He said this to me in front of my staff and all the patrons of the facility. I basically just stood there and took it just…
Did you get a raise?
I guess the post says it all. I work as a car detailer and all I see are posts about: IT professionals going to make more money for their time. Notq saying it as a bad thing, go for it. Fucking get the cash, but seeing the same story over-and-over makes me think that it's either bots, or people telling stories… Or Retail workers getting fucked over. I left retail because I kept getting fucked by someone who wasn't my partner Nd explains to her at the end of my shift that I cheated on her. And yep, it happens, but I feel it's the same issue with bots and stories. Or Kitchen staff/cafe staff/restaurant staff getting fucked over. Now, this I think is all 100% true, because it always happens. In every kitchen. But jeez, how many stories are bots and story telling?
Looking for some information on who has profited the most from exploiting us shamelessly. There are the obvious ones like the Sacklers, Rothchilds, Rockefeller’s, Cheney’s etc… but does anyone know of a compiled list by value? I realize this may be somewhat subjective.
