I'm thinking cuz I got a job in the back of a grocery store, storage and stuff, work from 6:30-15:30 and yknow lots of boxes and carrying it up and down etc. But can a factory be better, from all aspects (physical, mental, financial)?
Work drama and fellow employee
So there has been a lot of work drama from salesman who make their own rules, to people constantly calling asking statuses on job when I have given time frame. Now I have a fellow employee who's cubicle is next to mine who constantly brings up drama and says we should quit but when i mention to him about leave he goes it isn't that bad, or you don't want to do that. It's like seriously how two faced are you. I am thinking I just need to start over fresh and just be my own boss like I have been slowly doing since 1.5 years ago.
Community Health Needs Assessment
Our new Health Needs Assessment for my community came out yesterday (for anyone not familiar, communities typically conduct whats called a “needs assessment” to gauge resources, demographics, and other information) The findings are not great: -71% of the population is at “working age” 18-64, but the majority of jobs in the community are retail -Unemployment is UP 4% since 2019 -Depressive disorders are UP 3% since 2019 -The median house price is UP 45%! (Houses are about $75k more expensive now than they were in 2019) Big take away from here, median household income increased a measly $4k annually during this time, while median house prices increased a whopping $75k. The disproportionality in this in stark. Wages remain stagnant or even decreased (raises are less than a market increase) while the cost of everything keeps going sky high. Why dont wages raise proportional to other things??
I read comments about it all the time and I think there should be a standard for it. Some people are against tipping and some others think it is necessary. Can you suggest a model ? Such as tipping should be added to the receipt as a fixed percentage if you order food for here or if it’s a takeaway you don’t need to pay for service fee. I think a standard is necessary because employee’s main focus shouldn’t be getting a tip.
Gee, thanks!
Although it is against my will to leave my homeland, I'm thinking of reconsidering the offer if I happen to not really succeed in finding a job that pays well and just so my parents would stop acting like I'm not giving my all here…
Employee Satisfaction Survey
Hey everyone. I manage a team of 17 and have been tasked with creating a satisfaction survey. I don’t want this to be a check in the box. I want this survey to capture a realistic picture of how everyone feels. More importantly, I want the results to lead to change if necessary. Can you all provide engaging questions that the team won’t roll their eyes at? Thanks.
TW: Self-harm & suicidal thoughts Like full on, fetal position, crying uncontrollably in the break room kind of breakdown. After I calmed down I clocked out and just left in the middle of my shift. I work at a gas station as a pump jockey or whatever you want to call it. It's not difficult work by any means, but the mental strain gets to be a lot, y'know? I have to juggle the gas pumps and propane and working the register (when required) and cleaning inside and outside. It's a lot to put on one guy. It got to the point where I was hurting myself and imagining killing myself in my boss' office. I've come a long way with my depression and mental health, but this job just brings all the bad things back and I don't know why. It isn't supposed to be like this, but between…
