Antiwork

Short post here, but I've been job searching for 2 months now. I have an MS in biological sciences and currently work in pharmaceuticals. Applied to a remote life sciences consulting position and heard back from a recruiter today. They offered no “hey, thanks for applying! We're interested in talking!” Just told me they needed me to take an online GMAT to test my analytical and critical thinking skills. The test is easily over 2 hours long. I have a master's degree…. And multiple publications.. and they need me to dedicate 2 hours of my life to take a test for a job I know very little about, including possible compensation? Ridiculous. On to the next.

Currently I'm working a part time job at a k-12 school. The job is easy pays 19.94/hr but I only work 28:45hrs per week. The job I have an interview for tomorrow is entry level full time 31k salary and I'd be just looking over FASFA Applications for a college. That job doesn't require a bachelor's degree. Should I just keep my current one. I'd be taking a pay cut in a sense. I doubt they'd accept me negotiating my salary to 33-34k.

Hello, I work in a office in a union environment. As a result, salary is determined by years and not by merit, what you contribute, the fact that you know the difference between a computer a water fountain, etc. Over the last 8 years 4 employees have retired and I've taken their responsibilities. We went from an office of 8 to 4. I am the newest (14 years) of the 4. The others are at top pay scale. The most recent retirement, coupled with other internal conditions, is really making it difficult to continue working here without additional compensation. Each employee that has retired has earned 40-60K more than me. I would quit and go elsewhere, but my pay would decrease heavily if I changed jobs at this point. Any advice on boosting my own morale? How do I continue working here without feeling like a chump?

Hey Reddit. I work for a pharmaceutical company in the US and our plant director has been creating a hostile work environment, taking advantage of employees financially, and all of this results in potentially dangerous drug products getting on the market. The plant director often yells at his managers and supervisors for minor things rather than helping them find a solution. This trickles down to the low end employees making them scared to discuss anything which is going wrong. If you disagree with him or make any kind of complaint you will either be slandered as lazy, homophobic (he’s gay so any complaints make you homophobic), or dumb. If you ask a question the response is always “that’s your job why am I going to tell you”. He also get very upset if things are documented via email and requires everything to be done in person so there is no…

Basically I was an outreach worker and would typically work monday to friday with varying hours as I had to do house calls (via public transport). One sunday I had to do a night shift (which I never did). I did get to sleep but was played a flat rate of £55 regardless of what that night involved. The worst feeling was waking up from this night shift to get a taxi to start my outreach with no break inbetween. I am thankful I didn't have my cats at the time. How they got around it was that night shifts (sleeping) didn't count towards your contracted hours yet I was told I would be paid hourly (only reason I agreed). When I got paid I was paid the flat rate and the manager denied saying anything like that. Fuck the care work industry, glad I don't work for them anymore.…
