My current employer has announced that they are going to start random drug testing. I hate some things about this country. My thoughts are to find a job that doesn’t random. I know how to cheat the tests but I’m nervous about getting caught. I have no problem getting busted on a pre employment test but would hate to get fired for some bull shit. Any advice or thoughts?
I've been working with this Illinois company for 5 years. I was recently put on a performance improvement plan in the summer. I was unhappy and stressed with the initiative I was forced to take part in where I had to abandon working with my local coworkers and work with others on the other side of the world with short time zone overlaps. I had to learn a completely new coding language, product, and working style on the job and compete with people who have had more than a year experience with the software and product to deliver a functional product to the client. This was without proper training due to lack of resources. I was put on a PIP but I was left unassigned without any projects. So, essentially I had no way to improve my performance as there were no projects for me to work on and there…
So basically the first movie spider man (with Tobey Maguire) is the story of : Oncle Ben, a 68-year-old worker, fired from his job after 35 years with the same company, who has to work to survive (no retirement) and who can't find a job because the companies have staggering demands (in his case it is imperative to know how to use a computer, we were in 2002, not the bronze age but still) Ben Parker: I'm already on my ass, May. When the plant's senior electrician is laid off after 35 years what would you call it? I am on my ass. Hand me that dish. The green one. The corporation is downsizing the people and upsizing their profits. May Parker: Oh, Ben, you'll get another job somewhere. Ben Parker: Well, let's look in the paper and see. There are the want ads. What do we got here? Computer……
Just wondering since capitalism is a system used almost worldwide
Just been let go
Was told it wasn't working out to which I agreed and parted ways and after I left boss told other staff I was a thief and couldn't be trusted
I got my first yearly merit increase!
A whopping 2.5% from 17.23 to 17.66. When mentioning to my supervisor that my very large multinational company posted nearly $15 billion in net profits last year and the top five execs made almost $100 million, I was told “no company gives raises in line with inflation. I've been here 14 years and that's how it's always been.” Not going to call out this company because they have a very large social media presence and a not great reputation, and I have no prospects lined up for a new job.
Ours was a video of our whole c-level exec team saying “thank you”
