It might sound very obvious that I should get a new job but I’d like to explain a little bit. So I will start with the cons of my job. To start, the pay is not great, the commute sucks, I recently discovered I make the same amount as someone who has worked there for 12 years (I’ve been there 3 years), sometimes I do work email outside of work because my work email is on my phone because they give me money every month for “phone reimbursement”, I could keep lost stuff but I want to get on to the pros. The pros are that I am great at what I do, I love everybody that I work with including my supervisor, I have some freedom in this place to walk away (still doing my job just need to be outside or in another building) and no one questions…
Im curious how much people make a year that are part of this subreddit. Please post your TC below! Edit: seeing a lot of high earning tech workers in here. This is very interesting to me.
Pharma Sales Let Down
I accepted a position with an expanding pharma company after a layoff in December. After a month my manager is riding me for my “performance”. My territory basically sucks and I recently found that several people have failed in this area. I mean, how much opportunity can you have in a 15 mile radius. After being hired I immediately saw a problem and it was my territory. I spoke with my manager about expanding into other cities and I was met with “I will get back to you”. After a month of diligently working my territory I get a call from the boss man. Basically he said I was underperforming compared to my class. I fire back: The other reps have 200+ quarterly prescriptions they are inheriting. There are 20+ demos in field for each clinic in other territories (easy in) They have a 40+ square mile radius and I…
Speaking with my wife she asked if I (Electrician, Alberta, Non-Union) get sick time. I respond that's laughable. I don't think any of the construction disciplines get sick time and Vacation pay is typically paid out each pay cheque. I think it may be that the employers want have a control over an employee, ie: can't take vacation unless you set aside your vacay pay and not treat it as your hourly. Ciao for Now
My boss keeps going back on her word
So originally I had met with my boss and the manager directly above me to talk about schedules. I’m the Assistant Manager at the facility I work at. We decided that my manager and I would be alternating between Mondays and Saturdays off. Today my boss told me that she never said that, and that I’ll only get one Saturday off per month, despite me showing her all of the things in the schedule that coordinate with her decision to alternate Saturdays off. She said that she actually wants me to work every Saturday, so my manager only has to work Monday-Friday. It feels like no matter how much work I do, I’m always being overlooked as an employee and as a person. Should I just get a different job at this point?
Salary Question
I am an hourly construction worker. My manger had supplied a salary “offer” but there’s a few odd things about it. I’m from Canada btw. My main question is when your on salary and you get your T4 is your income 66000 even or is there something that changes from your income to your T4 that makes its 62474 (for example). I hope I explained this well.
Y’all don’t know me outside of here. Sure some of you are nice, but I’d sooner deep throat that cactus you forgot to water a year and half ago. Don’t act shocked when I don’t get it on my phone or personal devices- like any gentleman that’s reserved for porn.
