When I moved to Canada, about 8 years ago, I was given a work permit to work at this IT company. They knew that for the next two years I didn’t had a choice but to work for them, or I would have to leave Canada. When I tell people what kind of work environment I had there, they can’t believe me. Btw the company is alive and kicking until this day. We were told to bring toilet paper from home. They wouldn’t buy it. Same thing for water. Tap or home. Not to mention tea or coffee. No AC in the summer – saving electricity (and there were some hot days there). There was a parking in the building. 50$ a month. They refused to pay it and preferred me running outside every 2 hours to move my car. They would make me come work weekends at least twice…
Edit: They have already reported the issue.

Someone just posted this, people in that thread are talking about how America doesn't care, they're right but they're also wrong America wants us where we are, That's why there's no change. The situation that we are rebelling against is exactly where they want us. They're only willing to give up as little as humanly possible and until we demand more and and I mean demand not “ask” or “tell” like “refuse to move and stand in the way” demand. We need to become a problem that will get fixed become a squeaky nail, get hammered. Remember The class war is real. How many of you want to spend your late formative years and early relationship seating years struggling to survive on 80 hours a week. We might be able to force them budge a little bit with wage but the only way we'll get any real change that will…
Little backstory, I have 12+ years of experience in software development, business management, and digital marketing. I used to work for a retail equipment distribution company – the business model was very simple, buy from liquidations at pennies on the dollar, refurbish, and sell it back to retailers. My job was to rebuild and expand the e-commerce side of things. My “boss” was a sales guy who had a very close relationship with the CEO. They created my position in order for my “boss” to get additional commissions off someone's hard work (me). This boss was the cheapest mofo i've seen in my life. We'd go to lunch and he'd have me paypal him ridiculous amounts like $5. Even while I increased sales by 600% I was never taken out to lunch on the company dime. I started on a $60k salary with commissions, ended up doing about $80k my…
Made a post yesterday about my upcoming departure from my workplace due to a new employee that works under me making pretty much the same hourly wage I do. Several people commented that the reason I'm leaving is my business and the employer doesn't need to hear it. But I'm wondering, how are things supposed to ever improve if we aren't direct with them? I'm leaving because I have years more experience and deserve a better rate out of pure logic. They need to know this, so that the employer knows their pay needs to be better all around, and the remaining employees maybe start thinking they also deserve better. How does just leaving without explanation help the cause?
