So my work will adjust the time I clock out so they won’t have to pay overtime for me and in exchange, I get a good schedule because I don’t cost the business as much as the other servers. I just want to get paid and scheduled what’s entitled to me without having the carrot and stick treatment.
Like the post title says. I included the link at bottom for reference – may want to read the article and then come back. Now, this story itself is old – it was originally published back during the magical, glorious, wonderful days of Quarantine – yet it is still relevant for discussion. I’m trying to decide how I feel him, and I have been for years. One of the most telling parts of the article, IMO, is when his subordinate explains that they can’t meet his production goals the way that things are. They need more humans Elon doubles the workforce at that plant – practically overnight. No bullshit, no nonsense. Just boom. Done. But still, I have great difficulty getting past the idea of a fucking ONE AM MEETING. How does the Hivemind feel about Elon? https://www.cnbc.com/2020/03/06/what-elon-musks-early-morning-spacex-all-hands-meeting-says-about-him.html?utm_content=Main&utm_medium=Social&utm_source=Facebook&fbclid=IwAR2XgtsWt9WCxTAtvLcXGHUkXjFra-ashmUnv9i1KkZndY5xSAdMoxFlf0s#Echobox=1645111192
This song inspired me to quit my job
Just frustrated today because I’ve been working in healthcare for nearly 7+ years now and had previously worked in education before getting a different degree. Im in an entry level position yet again because that’s all I do. I flip to another when when offered more pay than before after a few years. This seems to be the only way to actually get a decent raise anymore. I have a masters degree and it honestly doesn’t seem to matter. I am a creative thinker and always trying to help and work hard at my job. Hell I’ve been the top performer in my department for a year now and been running engagement and meeting people. Ive joined resource groups, hosted meetings, and joined extra work programs that don’t pay anymore. Just was turned down for a management position for someone who has been working at current company two years but…
Just one day
Imagine for just one day we, across the globe, didn’t make a single purchase from a large corporation. Nothing, from a coffee to a car! What would the ramifications be for those corporations? If they knew we were not purchasing due to unfair work conditions and pay disparity.
I'm afraid, but I shouldn't be. My company is a hilarious sinking ship. The ceiling is falling in right next to the server room. There are six (6!) drip buckets scattered around the hole. Three new employees will be joining my department because the best employee we have demanded a job title change. She'll be in her own office next month (good for her) but now I can see more “holes” My department is kind of ok, but the people in purchasing and accounting make waaayy more money than me. BUT they're even more miserable than us. That's a bad sign. A guy in purchasing retired, and then his replacement quit after three months (due to stress) Just today a woman that has been with the company for 13 years resigned. She is the only person that knows how to use fancy million function office printer behind me…and she's not…
Is it always greener on the other side?
On paper I’m working as an assistant for a great company. I get paid $26 an hour. (Amazing especially compared to other people on this sub) I’ve been remote for 8 months and we are officially starting hybrid next month (3 days in office, 2 days out) this job is something I’ve been wanting to do! The on boarding and training process was really hard. The people I work for are pretty nice, for the most part… This is my first corporate job. But i have fallen into a deep depression, and have no desire to work here anymore. I’ve been applying to other jobs…. But my question is… Should I stick out? It’s a decent position. Will I just get the same feeling somewhere else? Has anyone else gone through this? Am I just being an entitled millennial?
Currently at a new temporary job. I can’t afford to quit and I just don’t know how the heck to push through it. I need to work for 3 months to pay off everything that I need to pay off. I get a lot of anxiety and dread before work.
This was over four years ago. Basically, I had already gotten an offer for my current job but the start date wasn't for a month. So I thought well damn, I need something to do (I wasn't employed at the time). I ended up looking around for a bullshit job to do until then, except I wanted to do literally nothing at all and see how long I could coast. I ended up getting some $14/hour work from home job. It was sales for one of those lawn care scam companies (sorta like TruGreen). And I really like to think I was the worst employee they had ever hired. I ended up lasting two days. I was late both days even though it was a work-from-home job. Those two days were training and except for maybe part of the first day, I didn't participate at all. I eventually turned off…
