Sciatica Nerve Exercises
My employer asks every employee that's leaving to write out and sign a PDF stating their resignation of their role, the new company they're going to work for, and the role they're taking at the new company. The sounds pretty immoral to me but is this something others have experienced in the state of Michigan?
who is in the wrong here?
I work as customer service. My working hours are from 09.00-15.00 every day. Every time i boot up my system i go through 6 different applictaion that have their own boot time. One system we use for receiving calls takes about 10 minutes to become operational. Funny thing is that my boss expects me to be logged on and ready to recive calls 9 am sharp. Not a minute late. That's why they expect us to use 10-15 minutes of our own time when we're not paid to be ready. I've tried my best to be ready 9 am sharp, but I'm always 1-5 minutes late every day because of the boot time, but also the fact that we're not getting paid until 9 am. Today i was told I've been late too many times this week and I'm getting a written warning letter. Personally i think this is pure…
Hate work? Government Job is the answer.
User to work in the private sector at an an engineering firm. 8.5 hour days + shit pay + asshole bosses. Now, as a government employee, i was on my phone for 2.5 hours straight yesterday, accomplished 2 menial tasks all day and had a fulfilling day at work ! Boss encourages me to leave early, doesn't care if I show up late. Fellow antiworkers, find a public sector job.
Joined a small company at the start of the pandemic and have enjoyed it, great bunch of people and the small nature of the company meant there was flexibility and involvement in different roles. The company has since been bought by a huge multinational, and of course our employment contracts, HR etc is now all centralised. As part of this we all got a million invites to “lunch and learn” throughout the year (at least one a week), which are dial in via teams. Now, firstly a pedantic point, I thought a lunch and learn is where an employer provides lunch and is another way to bullshit more training in over your lunch break. Obviously this isn’t happening remotely. Secondly, my lunch break is unpaid (1hr a day), and I usually take it away from my desk to go for a walk, and you know enjoy my life where I…
Being a teacher sucks
I teach high school. I hope this post deters people from becoming a teacher. The pay sucks. You get hit up for money ALL THE TIME to support this club or school spirit. If you don't, it's frowned upon. Also, the union dues…if you choose to join. It's hella expensive! Even while you have the choice, if you do not join, your colleagues will avoid you & question your loyalty to being a teacher at the school. It's happened to me and others I've known. I'll wrap this up with the students. The students, most of them, are okay…but the select few who are violent, sexually harass others, and do drugs repeatedly in school are simply given a slap on the wrist. By slap on the wrist I mean a few days of in school suspension coupled with a restorative meeting. So, in short, save yourself from becoming a teacher.
So this is just going to be a quick rant because I'm really fed up with this bullshit. I am a lawyer in Germany. I have been unemployed for a few month now. That is by choice because I just hated the last two law firms so much, I had to take a break and rethink what I want to do with my career. I recently had a job interview at a firm that looked absolutely perfect on paper. In the interview the partner basically did all the taking. I could just say a few sentences in between. I don't know why but that seems to be a habit of lawyers here, since that is basically how all my interviews went. What he said was actually good and I really wanted to work there. So in the end he said “we will need about two weeks to get back to…
