Steaming Mad: Gold Digger Boss needs to Go to Hell

During the pandemic, I ended up out of work and took a part-time position at a nonprofit organization. I am still looking for full-time employment, while I work 3 jobs. My immediate supervisor is a gold digger — married well with a husband who makes well over $100K, works a super cushy job, and pushes all hard work off to lower people — took a weeklong cruise with her husband, and brings me back a Bahamas magnet. She knows I need full-time work and insurance, yet, she will not convince upper management to place me in roles, I am qualified for! She and her husband can go on an $8,000 cruise (I found the copy of the check-in copier, a few months ago), but yet she will not convince management to give me insurance. (I am looking for work outside the agency!) I seriously want to tell her to go…

Not really about work but working from home dealing with upstairs neighbors

If only people wouldn’t purposely annoy there downstairs neighbors and acting as if they can not control there kids, work from home will be more pleasant.

I’m an introvert and my standards are too high, and now I hesitate on every job offer.

I discovered how capitalism is horrible just after finishing high school (still not fully educated on it tho), and I was angry and sad about how jobs actually work in this world. I didn't really have a job while in high school so I wasn't mentally prepared for what's to come. I became a person who wants to work less and less – less hours and less days, not caring about making less money, but at least MAKING money. I loved my free time, and I told myself I don't want to work in an office job, hating the idea of 9-5, and as an introvert I didn't feel comfortable with many kinds of jobs. After telling everyone that at some point I will work (but kinda delaying it, letting the recent covid outbreak be my excuse), I started getting pressure from friends and family about getting a job, and…

Conflicted about career

I have a really good job, but of course with recent U.S. inflation and gas hikes, I am really believing I am not paid nearly enough. The company skipped raises out of concern of loss of profits from covid for like 2 years. However, the books are public as it is a non-profit and they made money each year… So, I'm in a lower position rank wise in the company, but critical. I have to go into the office mon-friday. No wfh. I've never gotten a raise due to covid. I make about 2 or 3 dollars over my states minimum wage as it has been going up every year during covid regardless, due to a planned rollout (MA). The fact that I am one of about 5-10 MAX employees out of 80 that have to go in every week, coupled with the company stating they will let people work…

What companies are doing things the right way?

Lots of examples on this sub of companies behaving terribly. Are there any companies where the employees feel appropriately compensated, respected, and proud to work for? Not trying to create a r/HailCorporate post, but hoping to highlight some examples that could become a blueprint for shitty companies to follow. Would be great to see examples of small, medium, and large businesses.

Honest question

What’s the idea of this sub? Are you all just trying to find ways to live comfortably while doing less work? Or is the sentiment that all work is bad, and the sub exists to bash it?
