So I work at a big automotive supplier in germany and it's my job to assess the compliance of the product to certain technical standards and normatives. This results in a document where I have to deliver the proof of compliance and provide a clear statement of compliance for legal departments, authorities and customers. So far, i really love my job. But for many months now, as i have been constantly highlighting and proofing incompliancies, engineers and managers ask me to explain them what they have to do (they know it but refuse to do it) and basically end up telling me i should create those evidences by myself. Many of those topics require a lot of technical expertise which i don't have. Lately, i'm being pulled into any possible escalation and i have to find excuses for a shitty product in front of assessors, authorities and customers which i…
The snake eating its own tail
I have been working at my current job since october 1st 2021, so less than half a year. And I am already so done with the company it is unreal. I am working in local journalism, but in my country, there is one huge company that publishes over 100 small, local newspapers, I don't live in a big country, so that's basically as local as you can get. As you can assume, working in journalism is all about connections and networking. You want the mayor of the town to talk to you comfortably, you want the police to take time to give you statements, and most importantly for this company, you need businesses to advertise since it's entirely ad-financed. Well, this company has an insane turnover rate. barely anyone makes it more than a year, especially in my region. And it is just simply embarassing, people all the time tell…
I’m pissed of
I work in a group home with eight teenagers between 13 and 18., we are a small Team of five Today we had a training at work. Our own mental health was a topic for a few Minutes so I said that I feel stressed since I had to help out very often in the past few weeks Boss asked what would help me to feel better and I said “If I dont had to help out” Everybody laughed so I said I wasnt joking. Boss said “then you would get a Problem with me and X (Teamleader)” Wtf, dont ask if you cant take the answer
As title says. Having a job that pays 90% top income just increases the quality of the products you consume. It's having a branded new gen phone or a lower cost older version. Same goes for houses and cars, it's mostly just better versions of the products you already own. You generally feel safer when not living from paycheck to paycheck, but the general life experience is just “premium”. Significant changes come around when peoples money starts generating money on its own.
Hi everybody! Writing a paper and I cannot seem to find any resources on job vacancies by pay. Does anyone have this information or resources where I can find this info?
No one will let me work!
Mind you, I have a fully open schedule apart from some nights due to night classes. I left my job at a deli (16/hr, 15hrs a week) because of poor management and not enough hours. I was lucky enough to have a job at a local owned pet store lined up (15/hr). I was willing to take the pay cut since they promised me 20+ hours a week. And it was like that! But now we have hours cut. I'm down to 16 hours a week and I'm pissed! I told my boss that this isn't gonna fly long-term. She said it won't be but it's been almost a month of it and I'm teetering on using my savings closer and closer every week. I've been looking for a new job but no luck so far. I move in 5 months so absolutely no one wants to hire me. I'm…
Hi reddit! I'm still newish to posting but I do want some advice. I am currently working in a healthcare job (like, back office shit, in a lab) and I want to stay to receive the benefits of their education program. But I've only been here for less than 4 months and things are already looking pretty bad (surprise, large corporations!). Very low retention rate, “voluntary” overtime, guilted when leaving after your mandated 9 hours (I clock in earlier to leave earlier), a supervisor who wants to strictly dictate everyone's lunches and breaks, and impossible to meet production per hour rate which most people still can't meet. I am also trusted to do certain tasks that half the people in my dept can't do. This can only lead to every story here where I get fucked massively because I do everything eventually. Also, it is reaggravating my previous job injury,…
Google helps Ukraine…
Google, a company worth 1.7 trillion, offers this much to Ukraine: https://preview.redd.it/xkq9rcwrg8l81.png?width=678&format=png&auto=webp&s=922a5bfaffecda03630e4f715f36c0784739ecf7 $5million, employee matched. A company worth so much gives so little by 'offering' its workers a matching donation.
I'm doing interviews for internships (a 5-week internship is required to complete my tech program at school). A lot of internships turn into fulltime positions for students almost immediately, so I've been mindful of where I apply. I interviewed with a place today that is notoriously slow in their communications with incoming employees but tout themselves as an ever-expanding company. I researched the company beforehand to see what kind of work they do and expected them to get into more detail in the interview. They didn't, everything they told me was readable on their website which is already kind of vague. I asked them about their work culture. I've spent the last ten years working in very chaotic and unstructured environments, and I don't want to get involved in another place that is constantly chaotic with no leadership. When I posed this question, one of the people conducting the interview…
