I am a fresher and I have completed my MBA degree this year. I am joining Deloitte USI in India in near future. Please give me advice on anything that you feel relevant or useful as I dont know even the things that I should ask advice for. So, please consider me as completely clueless.
So, my work place of 5 years has decided that I am to be payed less then the new hires. I get 16.37 an hour. With 5 years of service at this location. And 9 more years of work history that can be considered experience. 14 years. 16.37 an hour… And this is with me actively teaching these new hires, trying to stop them from losing hands and fingers and how to stay clean while working. But I’m done with it. Sunday I told them after 2 months of asking for a raise that I was done with it. Walked out and told them to have a response for me when I come in today. Well, unless they give me 20+ an hour for my work I’m done. With my skill set and this city I live in, I could have a job in less then a week. Tired of…
I cant find anything online and this may be legal advice territory, but let’s say I’m a grocery store manager. Obviously if I’m having a staffing shortage, I’ll help bag groceries or bring in carts as needed. But can I be required to go to another store, that I don’t manage, to bag groceries or bring in carts? Not in a one off event, but on a continuous daily basis while also managing my own store.
With all the awareness & communication about piss-poor jobs, where are the champions of industry? the companies who care for their staff? with PTO & benefits? It's easy to spot terrible companies, so where are ALL the good ones?? are there ANY? where are THOSE testimonials?
When I found this sub 6 months ago my first reaction was “wow look at all these communist lazy bastards” but the more I interacted with people and read posts I have to apologize I was still blinded by the blind loyalty to capitalism…so many people on this sub are hardworking, have great careers etc…this sub has really opened my perspective tbh I’ve worked all types of “low skill “ jobs …burgerking, retail clothing, grocery store but I never respected it because I felt like it was above it and I was only doing it till I got my degree (information technology management) but the fact of the matter is our country would go to shit if every retail , fast food and grocery store employee quit tomorrow they’re so important and society has taught us to look down on them IM SO SORRY
Manager decided to go hybrid but honestly, wants everyone to come everyday of the week. Using bullying tactics and manipulation to scare his employees to come to the office. So, I went because I need the money to pay cc debt. I arrive at the designated floor and behold! Everyone from my team is sat on the floor! The literal carpeted floor because we don't have desks or offices or even chairs. I swallow my shame and anger and sit on the floor and start working. By lunchtime, manager has procured a “conference” room for us. It's literally a closet. Four chairs, one big table. That's it. We are 6 people. Two people need to sit on the floor while others sit on the chairs and use the table. Imagine 6 people working in a small room. The noise, the bumping of elbows, the irritation because my manager keeps micromanaging…
2 weeks of PTO in a year for a Full time employee? Wtf? every other developed nation gets more than that. Why does the US hate parental leave? A lot of jobs don’t even have it and when they do it’s unpaid. And part-time employees get nothing, not even the basics like healthcare. The US is anti-union. Most jobs don’t have pensions. On top of that, we have to deal with no life having, micromanaging supervisors.
