fun times

I'm.so terrible but not as bad as “the owner”. So basically I finally convinced “my boss” to give everyone a bump up so we can hire new people. “My boss” has been pushing “the owner” for weeks. And he finally broke. But! He will only raise the pay for a few people….. Who's pay does he raise…. The new full time employees. So now I have new employees making the same as people that have been here for 10 plus years…. So when I was told to tell the people that got the raise to tell them not to talk about the pay increase… But some how it maked it to a “dramatic team leader”. I'm not sure who told her but the Bomb that “the owner” created has is starting to blow. I'm just standing back and watching the show. I'm also betting that I won't be getting a…

How old are you, how much do you make and how long did you go to college/ what education debt do you have?

I’m 25, make approx $78,000 US a year and did a 4 year apprenticeship that was free and I got paid during. EDIT: Can you live comfortably from that wage?

How do I quit now?

A little bit I wish it was a toxic environment i I could just text “fuck u I quit” but it’s actually not that bad and the boss is nice enough. Pretty much I need help with the phrasing. Pretty much I’m in the the process of being terminated (long story I don’t have a photo ID for my I9 forms and can’t get one) I have the next two days off but they want me to work one more full week just in case I’m able to get an ID card. I absolutely think that’s pointless and pretty much want today to be my last day. My problem is I don’t know how to tell them that and I’m afraid I’ll just beat around the bush and get pressured into staying for the last week. Idk sorry if that’s confusing. Thank you in advance! Edit : it’s a housekeeping…

We’re going into a recession. How will your career survive or thrive

Lots of thoughts going through my head right now about how our jobs, work, careers will look like going through this situation. We will all be affected in different ways. There will be opportunity to sink or swim. To keep your head down and try to survive or step out and start something new. I'm in telecom and it's going well still. But the feeling of shit is about to go down is present and feels like it's about to hit a tipping point. Maybe all that passive income propaganda pushed a few months back was a sign to diversify our selves and our skill sets because our existing work world might be completely upside down soon. If we do reset, I'm curious to see what is the outcome. What are some of the changes we want to see in the market from a worker or founder stand point? I'm…
