Antiwork

Have you ever showed up the first day, only to realize the job listing, offer letter, or details discussed during the interview ended up having nothing to do with the actual team or job responsibilities they gave you? I started a new job this week! And the only thing that actually matched what we discussed in the interview were the pay and benefits. I ended up on a different team, different manager from offer letter, different tech stack from what was discussed in interview and job posting (I'm a software dev), and the nature of their company culture turned out to have far more micro-management than what was proudly proclaimed in the interview. Anyone else been blatantly misled in order for them to get a body in a chair?

Once again I got suspended because of a customer complaint, that absolutely never happened. I’m seriously thinking of just jumping the gun and quitting. It’s becoming to the point where I’m missing work for something I didn’t even do. I told them before I walked out that they need to believe their employees before customers because w/o employees there isn’t anyone to serve the customers.

Hi all. I'm in a job that pays pretty well for my level of experience in my area, and while it likely isn't the last job I'll ever have, I'm not looking to leave it anytime soon. Recently there was a call set up at 7 p.m. that I couldn't make because I had a sports practice that started at exactly 7. I'm preparing for a big tournament this week and I prioritize this sport as one of the few aspects of my personality and identity outside of my job. My boss is saying I should've made time for a 10-minute call during the work week. My position is that once I'm no longer at work (I work roughly 9-5, sometimes until 6), anything I do at that point is as a favor to him rather than something to be expected of me. I am a salaried employee, which makes…

So I was just offered a position (Job B) that would almost double my monthly income, (salaried) they want me to start as soon as possible. However, in my current job (Job A) we just got our yearly paid-time-off bank refilled. Since my state doesn’t require Job A to pay out the unused time I’m obviously trying to use as much as I can before sending my resignation letter. Since I have more than enough time off to last me more than 2 weeks, I was wondering if I could legally begin working Job B while on PTO payroll for job A? They’re both full time, Job A being hourly. What ramifications could come from this? TL;dr can starting my new job overlap my old one?

My office has a lot of different departments and has been holding “consultations” with different stakeholders in the organization about their plans to re-open to in person work, but in reality they have really just been giving everyone the run-around on it, and the workplace is not going to be safe in terms of covid transmission. I've gotten fed up with them refusing to directly answer stakeholder questions (and other staff being too docile to push them on it), so I decided to take an opportunity to talk to them directly. Let's say I'm from Department A. Recently, they were holding a consultation for Department B. I was free at the time of this consultation, and I have friends in Department B, so I decided to attend. While the meeting was intended for Department B, there wasn't ever any announcement that people from other departments couldn't attend. No one ever…

So, this is an insignificant situation at work. I just recommend you to read if you really have spare time to lose. This is how it goes: I work for a bank in the caribbean and got promoted last year after almost ten years of being stuck in the same position due to being essential in my team. Regardless, I was more experienced or academically more prepared, this stopped my former boss from considering me for the manager position. I got the promotion just after having an interview with another department in the same company. It was a lateral move, but yearly bonus payment would be added to my monthly payment so I wouldn't need a project to close to receive that money and I would work 8 AM to 5PM instead of being a slave 8 AM to Forever(That's how we say in spanish). So, after I got the…

It's very difficult to get a decent paying lab job, are there any unions i could join?

So I've posted about my shitty boss before but now she has taken it to a new level. I'm an HR assistant and she has has now put in rules that I'm not allowed to have private conversations in my office with employees because it “makes her uncomfortable”. In the past she has done sketchy stuff like firing someone for not picking up shifts but in reality she prevented us from offering shifts to the worker because she didn't like them. Or not documenting preformance corrections with an employee so when we found out the employee was committing fraud we (as in HR) were put into a bind. Well I was told by a coworker about how she was planning on firing an employee eventually once we got more staffing which without proper grounds would put me in a bind again. So to head this off I emailed my corporate…
