If you get written up, but disagree with the events as defined in the write up, is there a phrase you write with/next to your name? I feel like I’ve seen something about this before. Thanks.
I'll try to explain it as simply as possible. I am an entry level employee who works as a “part time contractor” for a big entertainment studio. Although I'm considered part time I've been working 40+ hours per week almost every week since February. They've recently started hiring more people in my role and that's been significantly lowering my hours. This week I wasn't asked to come in at all and next week it's only gonna be 1 or 2 days. I am already pretty broke and will now have 1 week without pay, 1 week with very little pay. I feel so lost now and upset about the idea of having to look for extra work. My boyfriend said it's fine because I can just look for some freelance jobs or do delivery driving or something. Well that sounds terrible. I'm 26 and still have to do this? I…
One of my several jobs requires increasingly brutal 9-hour days, and it’s going to be v hard for me to make one of my shifts next week without huge amounts of stress (due to various responsibilities that day, as my family has a lot going on). Is it possible for me to make it to work that day? Sure. Is it worth it for the pay? Absolutely not. The day in question is 8-9 days away, so too late notice to randomly announce that I need the day off, as my boss is the only person who will be able to fill in for me. But I also really don’t want to fabricate an illness the night before/morning of, as it’ll cause undue stress for both me and my coworkers. What are the best excuses for needing a relatively-last-minute day off? The only thing I can think of is “I…
Hey all. I just got a promotion to manage a team I was previously on in my workplace. I am strongly anti-work and I want to be the best possible supervisor for my team. I already have some ideas about how to accomplish this – get to know people on a personal level (but don’t make it weird, we aren’t a “family” and I’m not going to ask for details if you need a day off); push for better pay and benefits to my higher ups; and generally treat people as adults that don’t need dumb incentive carrots (spot bonuses, not t-shirts please!). I want to be as transparent as possible with any information I get from leadership, and support my team with any career goals or personal issues they decide to come to me with. What else can I do to be a good supervisor? Because this is a…
It's especially stupid when gas is over 4, even 5 dollars a gallon for some people. Say you work 5 days a week in the office, and your fuel is $4.00 a gallon, commute is 30 miles, and your car gets 30mpg. That's 8 dollars per day, 40 per week, $160 per month.
I am so done
I wish I could quit right now. Currently sitting in my bedroom and crying and angry. My heart is about to burst. I work so hard at this job at a start up. Taking on as much as I can. For the first time, i fucking said no coz I have so much going on, they come back and question my effeciency, my productivity nd my hardwork. I am furious. How am I so de valued after working so fucking hard. It is mind boggling to me how unfair I am being treated right now.
Job jumping and loyalty
Summary: your employer doesn't care about you. So first and foremost take care of yourself and if you get a better opportunity then take it! To the story. I was practically handling HelpDesk alone because my colleagues hated life and couldn't be bothered. To be frank, I never blamed them for this. We all have our issues and mental health is important. I love my job. I love helping people and resolving IT issues. It makes me glad. So I worked more, took initiative, established rapport with users and became a trustworthy and likeable IT. Several of my colleagues quit and got at least 10k raise with less workload. I actually liked my workplace despite the workload. I believe it was due to appreciation and respect I had gotten from users. I didn't want to quit. So I wrote a long mail stating why I should get a raise. I…
