Yes…to push you to find a new job. In fact, with my current job my boss has lost about 4-5 people in the past 6 months, only able to hire 1 (whom has been at this job 4 months and wants to quit) all due to micromanaging. My mind is blown that managers allow their paranoias/anxieties/trust issues to get the better of them, effectively ruining their own department in the process….
Now that many jobs have been proven to be sustainable from home, working from home should become a fundamental right. If you're forced to go into the office, the commute itself should be part of your work day. If it takes you 1 hour to get to work, and 1 hour to get home, then you have 6 hours at the office. Not being paid for a forced commute is WAGE THEFT as it steals extra time out of one's actual day.
This company has been pulling some absolute Shady practices for the last 6 months I wasn't even aware of until he got the call today. The company is based in India but they have workers in the US. Honestly it's an absolute shitshow. Six months ago they created another company where three of their workers were transferred to and employed without consent or contract under the new company. The new employer is technically another entity but is still owned by the original. Last year alone they changed our insurance four times and failed to notify a lapse of coverage for 3 months. They said they will cover the medical expenses after the fact but didn't. Therefore the company was no longer providing insurance which is legally required due to the amount of employees. They consistently messed up his salary paychecks, threatened his job when he used vacation days, and now…
I’ve worked remotely for a company for a year to be exact. Ironically this week is the annual performance reviews for everyone. Throughout my review, I was graded as “Exceeds expectations” just falling short of the maximum rating by .3 percent. Since the beginning to the year, we’ve received email after email saying that the compensation change structure would be getting a revamp and we would all be getting raises based on performance rather than the 3% normal raise. I figured this is a fair change and probably will help accommodate inflation. I kid you not when I say we had at least 3-4 meetings about this, multiple emails and endless attempts from leadership to gaslight any questions or give any real transparency to the questions we have. They even were so pathetic to bring someone onto the meeting the other day who we’ve never interacted with. They came onto…
You know the ones. Either the ones with so much money they could feed an entire country, and the ones who never lifted a finger for their millions. I'm not afraid to admit I'm horribly jealous of them for living the best life they could for the cost of virtually nothing. I've been thinking about this lately. I grew up and still am in horrible poverty and it seems like there's no way out. I live in a very small town without a qualification to my name OR a working car, so job hunting is difficult. I'm constantly stepping further down the ladder while some asshole is getting even further up for virtually no reason. I don't want much In life. The “American grind” is not for me. I'm content with a modest lifestyle. As long as bills are paid I'm pleased. But I absolutely feel jealousy that these people…
