Antiwork

only 2.88 percent salary raise announced today after taking on middle managerial duties in addition to my own job duties. No raise in 2020. I hated working already. Being underpaid just adds insult to injury.

I finally graduated college last summer with an associates in account after going part time for 4 years while working full time retail for 5 years. I spent a few months putting in applications and going to the occasional interview when they could be bothered to get back to me. I eventually landed a new job at a large bank as a banker. It wasn’t much more than what I was making but they offered a better bonus structure and I was looking for a change of pace. When I interviewed, they mentioned that I would also be trained on the teller line and that I would spend time there while getting trained for my main role. They said that the breakdown would be something like 70/30 depending on how busy the business was. I was use to having a multi role so I didn’t think of that at the…

He only sleeps like 4-5 hours a day, works 7 days a week pretty much and only has maybe 3 hours off of work during the weekends, he works hard for me and my family I know and I know the expenses for me are high due to me being autistic but still

Once in a while, we all come across a call for boycotting a company that fouled their employee. Why not also make it a trend to support and help with our wallet as far as financially possible, those businesses, big and small, who treat their employees extremely well?

Is anyone else REALLY sick of seeing people who have family connections getting preferential treatment for hiring and/or promotions? It's even worse if they are unqualified or undeserving of such positions. I've seen it in all 3 post college jobs I've had. My wife has seen it in her workplace and was passed up on promotions by younger girls who have the family name. I've seen it benefit family friends, one example – a recent college grad with a criminal justice degree, and no relevant work history, got a job in the financial field because his dad is friends with a higher up at said financial firm. I like the guy and glad he's doing well but it's frustrating that I did all the “right things” (licensed engineer at an engineering company) when others get to skip the line and get positions/promotions they aren't qualified or deserving of.

I had been working in this company for about 2 years, it was a small business with around 20 employees, eventually they closed the sales department that was the biggest one and I was left as the only employee doing human resources and client services, talking to the clients here and there, I was in charge of everything, all the spreadsheet with the clients information were under my name and I was the only one who could edit it, I was also the one the clients knew the most since they would always talk to me. I saw it coming, I knew they were about to fire me, my boss's wife spend so much money it's insane but that's what you get when you're white middle aged man dating a hot Hispanic girl in her 20's, he started to cut cost, some supplies, the mail lady salary, eventually he told…
