Not calling your employees on their off day to cover a shift. Letting employees take sick leave on mental breakdowns. Paying comparable rates and more for “extra effort”. Not judging body language and dress up. Giving health insurance. Valuing your employee and their space. Understanding that employees are also humans and need rest, break, food, sleep. Not acting like you own them just because you pay them.
Had a job interview this week over zoom. I am not looking for work at the moment but I thought I’d listen because it was a decent raise. Granted this was a public sector role and I’ve had these types of interviews before. Very, very formal. But this one was formal and awkward. It was over zoom and for the entirety of it both the CEO and his assistant were typing my responses. No eye contact. It was a weird vibe. They also asked questions like my experience with MS Office. This to someone who has been in the industry 10 years and grew up around computers. Learned today that I didn’t get a second interview. Whole process was just weird.
I (21m) work at one of, if not the most popular fast food chains in the US. I’m chilling on break rn and just got a chance to escape the heat of the kitchen, forgive me for any spelling errors etc. . On top of running a shift on my own as a red shirt (a regular employee) today, it is mid 80’s in the kitchen right now at my job. I’ve informed the general manager and i was told to give her a minute. That was 30 minutes ago. While customers, white workers, and the gm chill in the lobby in a crisp 70 degrees, my employees are in the back of the kitchen, sweating while they make food for people who don’t give a shit about them. Not to mention communication between the kitchen and management never happens due to most of them being native spanish speakers. I…
My boss is an egotistical, entitled, prick and I think I have a great offer at my side gig for something bigger that can pay the bills. Any tips on how to quit? My current boss does not see this coming and keeps saying “you'll learn this in time” and his wife says I'm such a great part of their family..
Hi All, I'm posting for my partner who doesn't reddit but could really use the support/perspective of this issue. I've got my personal opinions about this, mostly involving using all the sick and vacation days for the next 3 weeks then just quitting on the spot… but maybe those with less emotional attachment can think more logically about this… “I've got 6+ years of banking experience. I've been in a specialized department at a large national bank for 15 months. I'm qualified for my job. From the start, I was under trained to do my daily tasks. Out of ~10 tasks, I was trained on 1. I asked for more help from my trainer, but they had moved onto helping other new employees and couldn't help. The manager was not helpful in figuring out how to handle the other tasks. He was new, too. My only resource was another…
Ok so. I left my very high paying and stressful job in Sales to work with a friend/practitioner that I have a good relationship with. She is in dire need of branding, marketing and website remodel. She didn’t have a lot of funds to pay me, so I agreed to a much lower rate (and one day a weeks work) for the next few months until things are up and running. Commencing beginning of next month. I’m paid on a daily rate (so 4 days a month) and currently haven’t been paid so far except for a couple of small procedures. Due to the amount of work, this has ended up being CONSTANT work for me. I have had to build an entire website just to send through to her web developer to set up, come into the office for filming days once a week (usually on a weekend at…
