If been following this sub for a while and I have an interesting scenario that unfolded at work this week… My department was hiring a new person after a long search and it was leaked to us how much his offer was.. $15K MORE than the rest of us with the same job. The way we found out: our boss was sharing her screen on a team meeting and the offer email WAS IN AN OPEN TAB! Just a gut punch. I’m not sure if it was because she noticed we saw the screen share, but the next day my boss tells me to expect good news and I think I’m getting a big bump in pay or at least getting matched. This morning I’m told I’m getting a 3% raise, which is still less than new person. I’m not one to complain about a raise, but team morale is…

If where we are during lunch is dictated by the constraints of the job, then it’s time to pay us for it.

Today in an all-hands meeting, my job title (and many other coworker’s) was changed from Deployment Engineer to Support Engineer. There was no announcement or notice prior to the meeting. Upon comparing the two titles, the average pay is around $10,000 less for the latter. My pay is currently staying the same (above the average for Deployment Engineer by a couple thousand). Should I be worried about anything going forward?

The day I put in my 2 weeks notice, my available PTO was 47 hours. My manager asked if I could make 4/15 my last day—instead of 4/12 because a couple of people were on vacation that week and we’d be short. So I said “Sure.” Well, got an email from HR today saying that once a resignation is given, no PTO is able to be taken—even if already approved. And, no PTO is paid out upon resignation, unless mandated by the state (Kentucky is not one of these states). So, I went to the website and it now shows 0.0 hours available for PTO. I’m salary, but I have been told if I call in sick for any remaining days it will be docked from my paycheck. This is a Fortune 500 company, not some rinky-dink operation.

You can take this job, and shove it! After working 7 years at the same municipal greenhouse I'm calling it quits. Fuck this job. New supervisor is turning what was a cushy job into a back stabbing and toxic workplace. Supporting those that snitch on others and promoting others that have been there a fraction of of the time over those that have been here for years. One of the gardeners essentially got perp walked by the supervisors to the office like a child being called to the principles office for coming back late from lunch…this place can really shove it.
