Details aren't important. I supervise a department at my company. Entry level type job. My pay js embarrassing and their pay is really embarrassing. This guy started 3 weeks ago and works way too hard. I've tried saying hey I appreciate your effort but relax type of stuff. He's a little ass kisser to me my boss and his boss. It's cool like if you are a sucker go ahead. I don't want him to work more than what he's paid for.
I’m 26 and a medical scientist. I don’t really need an income terribly bad. My house will be paid off in about a year and my student loans are down to about $1,500. After that, I don’t have any expenses that I know of aside from food, fuel and utilities. I was thinking about leaving my job (I can come back anytime) and dicking around with retail or fast food just to see how bad these awful bosses you guys are always talking about are. If they pull half the shit you guys talk about, I’m probably just going to laugh at them and tell them to fuck off or something. I’d love to see the look of shock if they fire me and I tell them “I don’t care, I don’t need the money”. What’re your thoughts on this?
(copied over from my linked in profile, I think it fits here better than anywhere else.) Dear Hiring managers/Talent Scouts, Consider removing the background and Mental health red flags from your application filter. there are plenty of people looking for work every day who are willing to work harder than others just for a base job. People need second chances. Even people with Disabilities are capable of working, YOU have to ask them what their disability is in order to determine if they are capable of performing the job you have available! Instantly disqualifying people who Earnestly need work and apply for dozens of jobs a day because of these 2 things means you are looking for perfection where it shan't ever exist. Your applicants are Human, some made mistakes, some have deformities, some have mental health issues, BUT they are human and need to be treated FAIRLY. YOU Can't…
This is minor compared to a lot of work issues, but to me it speaks to the toxic work ethic that many of us have been raised in. Years ago I had a boss who was generally reasonable and we got along well. One day she asked me to set up a meeting to “discuss some ideas for x project.” I interpreted this to mean that she had some ideas, but when I got to the meeting I realized she wanted to hear my ideas and I didn’t really have any. It wasn’t a project I was normally working on. I didn’t object to being pulled in, I had just misunderstood and was underprepared and she didn’t like that. Fine. But then she proposed one way to approach it and I said something like “sure, ok.” I was a little rattled – this was a few years ago and I…
I work for a company that has multiple locations along a river to meet the needs of different trip types. Last year, my first year, I was a river guide and got tested and approved to be a driver so I could get a pay bump. So far, I love the pay, love my coworkers, and love my bosses (except one, who’s no longer working for us) I was recently asked to be the supervisor of one of their sites, and only offered a $1/hour pay increase. I would still be doing a lot of the same labor I did last year but I’d be in charge of about 15+ people on any given day. I’d also be making almost twice what they make before any raise. The old GM was a cheap ass who didn’t even offer overtime pay (since it’s legal to do so in a seasonal job).…
No matter what, there is never enough time or money. Making more money eats up the time so I don't want to pursue anything, but trying to take more free time means I wont have the finances to do them either. I'm interested in so many things. I wamt to try my hand at creative writing, I want to try making music, I want to learn how to draw, I want to get into the car community, I want to keep being able to play video games with my friends, I want to get better at fishing, I wanna learn how to skate, I want to meet more friends and get a potential partner. It just all piles up into so many things I want to do, but I can't do because currently I lack the finances for many of these things, and in order to get the finances for…
