Antiwork

We work residential hvac. He and the dispatcher don't get along well. We don't get our calls ahead of time, leaving us unprepared for the day. He has to interagate her for info on the job to know how to properly charge. He is a bit snarky sometimes and comes off as rude. There was a project that was scheduled for one time slot that we knew would take nearly all day. He noticed and said something like “a bit optimistic for that place. That's gonna take all day and you added 4 more calls for me?” Well, that set the boss off. He told him to not even speak to her anymore. When he needs to close out and get a new call, only call boss. Boss is always in meetings, on calls, and doing estimates. Huge PIA for coworker when he needs basic info, like address conformation or…

People have to drive 15. 30, 45 or even an hour to work. Your traveling that long to at least work more than 5 hours. Gas may soon hit to 100 dollars to fill a full tank if it hasn't already in your area.

TLDR : how my previous boss lost one of his best designers on the shittiest project ever, while the workplace turns pretty bad with new hire setting bad morale. I am a french building engineer living in Denmark. I have lot of experience in design (AutoCAD) but I am bored as fuck. For at least two years I have been hitting my boss (verbally speaking) to put me in engineer position. But he always refused and instead hired other engineers. Even newly educated, which made me furious. All that because I worked fast and quite good (I never pretended that I was the best, but I was for sure the fastest and worked pretty well with the other departments). So he maintained me in a design position. I could not quit on a whim, overwise I would have. I almost did it. Twice. Last year I began to get better…

So my sister (31F) has been looking for a job because she wants to phase out of caregiving and yesterday she interviewed at a printing place and was hired and started today. She was pretty excited that she found something close to home and the owners were super nice and she really liked the vibe of the place and was ready to work. She called me on her break to tell me that everything was going really well but she might not stay, and when I asked why she told me that the lady doing the designs came up to her and in an incredibly rude manner told her not to put sticky notes on the forms she was filling out because she couldn't stand them. My sister immediately told her that if she had a problem with them she could talk to the owners who trained her because they…

I work for a pretty big company. Over the last year, I have been put in some extremely stressful work situations that severely compromised my mental and physical health (they dangled a raise over my head and then told me I can't have one because no one else gets one after making me work overtime for three months straight and then having to apply to keep my own job). I am in a state of pretty severe burnout and am trying to take disability leave/get accommodations, and that process alone is crazy stressful because HR at my company is the worst. I have been going down every avenue possible of trying to get help (and understanding my rights), and today I called the HR-sponsored Employee Wellness service. Only to be told that they cannot help with any work-induced burnout, stress, or mental health issues because it is “a conflict of…

Got our company pay released for the new tax year today. Good news – 49p per hour base pay rise. Bad news – Overtime cut from 1.5x to 1.25x. I do an overtime shift almost every week but these will now be worth £20 less per shift… Reason given by company that only 3% of shifts this year were overtime, so they've taken out of the overtime budget to increase the base rate. Not sure they've thought through that the overtime is necessary to complete all work. The incentive for doing this OT has now been halved. Let's see what happens going forward with missed orders if staff refuse to take overtime at reduced rate. Think my time here is limited now.

With prices and inflation going to shit for the while you should start to save money. I work minimum wage at a part time job and if i were to keep this up the only logical thing is to continue living with my parents. I have no body for this message ill keep it short Living on your own is way to expensive thats why you should stay with your family liie the “old times” and keep that home like the “old times” Idk take it with a grain of salt also dont buy so much stuff of course.
