I’ve worked at a few IT places that made me do on-call which is somewhat common in the industry. Place #1 first tried to tell me that’s only for “their” employees since I was doing work for another company but I told them I won’t do it simply, so they said fine I’ll pay you but you have to fill out this form, I fill it out and I don’t get paid I have to hound them for it. Months go on same old song and dance so I let my self get fired. Job 2, no problem paying me the on-call pay but again if any over time or on call is performed we have to fill out a form. This company wanted a printed sheet to be signed by me and the supervisor which was a pain in the ass since neither of us were in the office.…
Where should loyalty rank?
So as I’m giving my 2 week notice to my bosses boss because my boss said it was respectful. Whatever just get me the eff out of here right? So when I’m giving him notice he tells me my position merits a one month notice not a two week notice. The other thing he said was about how if I wanted to climb the ranks I would eventually have to find a company I can be loyal to. So 1. I know a one month notice is all benefit for the organization and all risk for the employee. 2. If this is true where should loyalty rank when choosing to stay or leave an organization? TLDR: when should loyalty if ever come into consideration when deciding to stay or leave an employer?
Throwaway account of course. TL-DR: Doctor was getting a blowjob from a clinical manager, practice manager and head office tried to cover it up by saying the witness saw it wrong. Staff leaving left, right and centre (me included) because management is toxic af. FK YOU PHIL, you POS. Recently, a doctor at a specialist clinic I work at was caught having sexual relations with the clinical manager in the early hours of a workday. My colleague was opening up the clinic at 6am that day and part of the opening process is turning on all the lights and computers in all of the consult and testing rooms. When this colleague of mine walked into one of the doctor's office, lo and behold, the clinic manager was on her knees giving a blowjob to the doctor of that office. As soon as my colleague opened the door, she saw everything…
Possible solution
If the majority of the people stopped going to work, stopped buying shit, and stopped paying taxes we could easily bring down governments and greedy politicians and the rich. We would just need to organize and we can definitely do it with the modern day technology that we have available now.
Plausible Theory on WFH Resistance
Okay, so I was mulling over and speculating why Work From Home is getting so much backlash from companies (that aren't Google, Apple or others that prove WFH can be a vital asset to the company) and after seeing cubicle culture, real estate insights and viewpoints from admins, I think I see a grander picture. Many businesses thrive on the footwork and commute of the metropolitan/big city working class. Partly why masses of workers are concentrated closer to the center of those cities, since more pedestrians = more potential customers. On the way going to and from work, you pick up meals, hit up the gyms, get some shopping done, check out events, drink at bars, etc. Now imagine if a massive amount of jobs made the workplace your home. Not every single job, mind you, but enough to make a significant cut of pedestrian and vehicle traffic. SUDDENLY, those…
In our “healthier” earlier economy it was still hard to buy real estate. If the housing market crashes cause offices get turned into apartments and causes a flood in the market i dont care. Maybe if the market bursts it only effects the 2%. I feel we have the ability to manipulate the housing markets now. We have a game plan. Make offices obsolete so the estate managers have to force themselves to sell it to be used for housing. All these companies own too much land
I see to many people here that are making minimum wage and dealing with shitty managers and customers. Stand up to your boss and the shitty customers. The worst they could do is fire you and you have to cross the street to find another min wage job. You have managers for a reason. If you are a cashier and a Karen starts demanding you accept her 5 year old coupon, just grab the manager and let them deal with her. Don’t over explain things to pissed off customers. “I’m sorry that’s policy, if you would like, you can step a side and a manager will be with you shortly”. You don’t get paid enough to deal with BS. Don’t take on any extra responsibility. If your dog dies your employer will tell you to get over it and be at the office tomorrow at 9am. So when your employer…
Job Security is a myth.
In reality most employers can fire you for no reason at al no matter how dependable you think you are.
