My company is so lazy. I'm quitting, for a variety of reasons (pay is one of them but not the biggest reason). I do not want to stay, under any circumstances. When I told my manager, he told me I should collect a bunch of data and contact higher management to make a case for why they should pay me more to keep me from quitting. They want me. To do the work. Of trying to convince them. Of how to convince me not to quit.
As titled. I had worked there 7 months, during which I produced obvious results and developed good relationships with some people. But there were always people you just couldn’t be friends with. Last week, due to conflicts with said people, I walked out of my office and requested 8 hours sick paid time off, plus 5 hours previous week for a doctors appointment. On my portal I have accrued over 20 available hours. It should be more than enough. I already suspected them being petty towards me in the end so I only verbally told my direct boss that I was leaving, but would still work from home until then. My boss approved. When the company found out, they were not happy with it and became very hostile towards me. I decided to turn in my 2 weeks. The next morning, I was informed that I didn’t have enough sick…
First week back to the office, trying to act happy but really looking for a 100% remote job – and suspect many coworkers are as well….is this what companies really want from their workforce?
They told him it doesn’t count as bereavement leave (my work gave my 10 days bereavement) and told him if he calls off it’d count against his record.
I have today off & I just stopped by the grocery store I work at full time to buy a few things. As I was walking through my department a co-worker approached me and asked me to close (work 11:30-8) because one of my managers who was the one covering my day off called off. I told them no, I want my day off and apologized. Two co-workers from other departments said I have nothing to feel bad about it, especially with how beautiful the weather is. Regardless of logically understanding that there’s no reason to feel bad about saying no, I still feel really bad about it. It made my skin crawl and gave me bad anxiety for like 30 minutes before it began to go away. Still feel weird, but not as bad as a few minutes ago. Thinking about the situation more, it is insane how I…
I won't specify what kind of job or what field, but I had some experience in that field and I explained to my boss what I did and didn't know in the interview. He said “We don't expect you to be perfect by 3 months and it's about 6 months to fully know the job.” Which yeah, that's pretty standard. They had me doing things that most people shadow 2-3 weeks for on my 2nd day, which I was not really comfortable doing. There was very little explanation on really how things are done, why things are done a certain way, safety measures, etc. My trainer kept telling me I was doing “a really good job” until I was just pulled aside today and told “I'm sorry but it's not working out”. I should have not taken the job as I often see them hiring on Indeed (obviously high turnover).…
I put in my two weeks on Friday after discussing pay and availability with a company. They were pushing me to start sooner. After not hearing anything, I emailed both points of contact yesterday. Someone I’ve never spoken with asked for a call this morning and said that because there shouldn’t have been any negotiation with pay, the general manager wanted a clean break with me and told this guy to rescind my offer. Now I have to scramble to find a new position. I hate this.
