Antiwork

Covid going rampant in the nursing home I work in. Despite being double vaxxed and in full PPE, being hands on with positive cases has landed me home sick myself.. I feel better after one day but I have to stay off for at least a week. I'm already living paycheck to paycheck and I don't get any sick days at all. Fuck me I guess!!! All I can do is relish in the fact that we have so many staff off that my millionaire employer who never leaves her office is currently on site cleaning and caring for residents … fingers crossed that covid will hit her like a ton of bricks soon :))))

Yesterday I asked my manger what would happen if a goal he set wasn’t met. “You’re fired” When I mentioned those consequences seemed a bit severe, he replied he was joking. Hilarious, right? I explained that if I got fired I wouldn’t be able to afford my rent or food. So, no, I did not find his jest humorous and the next time he “jokes” like that I’ll assume he means it and leave immediately and find a new job.

I have a meeting with HR on Monday about wage compression at our organization. I know what it is. My wage compression score is 9% or .95. The thing is I don't know much more than that. I want to know how that compares to other employers. I've been in my organization for 10 years and I have 15 years of experience. I'm hoping somebody has some Human Resources and compensation experience to help walk me through better understanding these numbers.

This is my first post so please bear with me. I have been with this company for almost a year now and I think I need something new. When I come in to start the day I'll come in 5 minutes early that's just how I am I don't like coming in at 10 or 15 minutes early. He just always has a comment about it like I'm here not late, get over it. I just don't see 5 minutes early being an issue. He basically never sleeps and gets to work @ 3am to then be a crabass because he didn't get any sleep. The next thing is he always says to me and my other co-workers we are (the company's name) bitches. This just doesn't rub me the right way and I know it's not a joke. I talk to my wife about it and she says with…

You all know exactly why I'm bringing this up, and I want to know what to do so that this doesn't become another Fox News. Bloomberg doesn't seem like a malicious source and I have no doubts whatsoever about my personability or rhetoric, but if I were to take this I need everyone's help, your coaching. What are the pluses and downsides of this opportunity? Do the cons outweigh the pros? I feel very inclined to accept, as I have become very passionate about this group; this MOVEMENT, yet this is one of the most nerve-wracking things I've ever been presented with and I'd rather not do it at all than screw up in a way that would defame us. Please be civil, and no disrespect to the prior interviewee please. One love.

mini rant: im tired, i hate that I have to work and slave away to have basic necessities. I graduated from college in the first year of the pandemic and have not been able to find a decent job. I’ve been doing temporary jobs in my field but its so underpaid. I had to move back with my parents because rent is so so so bad in my area. I hate it here, I truly do. I deserve a space of my own and it’s been so hard to even attain such a simple thing. I’m on the hunt for yet another job but I haven’t been scored an initial interview. All the jobs in my field are so underpaid and everything seems so bleak. Being a first generation graduate, I feel even more anger because I have no connections and my parents dont know nothing about all this. Anyways…
