Done With The Nonprofit Sector
Got fired last week from a small Nonprofit, where my job was essentially a job that most orgs would have 3-4 people doing. After crying for a day or two I started looking for new jobs, and I didn't even realize how low I was selling myself. I could make more money at the local Verizon store than I did at my previous job. I already have one interview on Friday, and a few more (hopefully) coming in the upcoming weeks. The point is, remember that Nonprofits can be just as exploitative, if not more, than any private companies.
How my plan to raise my pay backfired
I worked at the same firm for 4 years. Pay was good, but the pay raises, as most experience, are always underwhelming. I decided to float the job market, to get a better offer, to incite my current employer to give me an upward adjustment. I did find one “interesting” offer for what I felt was the right number for myself. It was about 20k (25%) higher than I currently had. This happened almost exactly the same time as merit increases were given at my current employer, at the time. 4%. I went back to my employer at the time and said I had an outside offer on the table. I shared the numbers with them. They declined and wished me well, but did not force me out the door. I took the new job, and left the old one on good terms, if that matters. Now, a month into…
DO NOT TIP ON THE SONIC APP
I just went to sonic and I used the app to order. There’s an option to leave a tip off of your card so I left a tip on there since I don’t keep cash on me. I asked the carhop when he gave me my food if he got the tip I left on the app. He says no so I was a bit confused and asked if he’d get it at all like at the end of his shift. He says they don’t get the tips off the app at all. I’m so pissed, I always tip on the app and apparently they’re not giving the workers their tips. Also taking my money under the false pretense it’s going to the carhop. WTF
“Income Share Agreement”
What is this bullshit? Recruiters are getting bolder every day. https://preview.redd.it/ekxpn0ew74x81.jpg?width=377&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=4f41de0e05296306fbe997ab3a262be252704694 I'm almost tempted to tell this guy to pay me 9% of his salary to make up for this nonsense. And it's 9% pre-tax too.
I called off today because I woke up with a migraine and puking. It’s eased up some after sleeping all day, but not enough to function at work. I barely slept last night as well. They told me to find someone to cover my shift, I texted four people and nobody could, I found one person but he already works today and he can’t. So now I’m being told I need a doctors note…for a migraine? No doctors note= a write up. It’s almost 4 PM where I am and they just told me I need a note. My doctors office is strictly appointment only, idk what to do. Because the chances of me showing up with a doctors note tomorrow are slim-to-none.
