If you are the hiring manager, always pay at the top of the range.

Recently my manager asked me to hire a new team of 5 people to help support after hours operations and gave me a pay range of 60-80k a year. I hired all 5 at 80k a year. Why? Because it ain’t my money that’s why! Don’t screw your fellow colleagues over, push for the max pay for everyone!

How to put in 2 Weeks? I’m anxious.

I recently found a better job and want to put in my 2 weeks at my current job. I've been working for the company for a little over a year. I want to tell my manager in person that I'd like to resign then afterward email it in writing. I would like to be as polite as possible because I will need to use them as a reference for my new job. Does anyone have any prompts or tips for putting in 2 weeks? This would be my first time resigning. Thank you.

Fired without warning while they new I was trying to buy a house.

This happened about a month ago. I'm not going to give the name of the company because I know one of the owners is on Reddit and I haven't gotten everything I was promised on my last day, but it's an offroad accessory manufacturer in Portage Michigan. It uses 2 names, one for Jeep accessories and another for Toyota. That information should be plenty to work out what company I'm talking about I worked at this company for about one and a half years. I started as a part time laborer working in powder coating then the shipping department. After 6 months the owner approached me and offered me a position that would take over about a third of the Production Manager's duties. It was full time, and salaried and my wife was wanting to quit her job to take care of our new baby so I happily accepted. The…

I do not want to live, but I’m forced to. Any job suggestions?

Title's pretty self-explanatory. I serve no purpose whatsoever, except to consume resources as to stay alive, especially when I do not wish to. I find existence boring, meaningless, and sadistic. I'm sick and tired of people saying “life's an adventure! you'll find what you love”/”trust me bro, God has a plan for us all”/”it's all a matter of perspective, focus on the positive!”. No. Only difference between you and me, is that I do not romanticise suffering and pain. I need a job. I'm willing to go to college, then a masters, but I need a well-paying job, that doesn't make my life hell, than it already is.
