Antiwork

Working from home is great, but the intrusiveness of managers and companies is frightening. The amount of information they can capture from work computers, work phones is disturbing. Plus, if you have fitbits that are given to you from your company give personal information that I feel a company has no right to have.

1: You must not have the confidence that overshadows the interviewer. 2: You must worship the ground the managers walk on. 3: education means jack shit since the manager might not have any. 4: Recruiters are effectively in the sale's community. They would sell you to their grandma if it meant more money. 5: They don't give a fuck about you! Based on recent experience! Had multiple interviews and I thought I aced one! 1st interview great talk. However, it's a nope far from it, it appears I was full of my self and laconic about the position. Second conversation through the phone was just blatant gatekeeping, no matter what I said she just wasn't convinced. Third the recruiter dotted down al my personal details and was gonna introduce me… Even though I'm highly motivated (bill's piling up) and I did my research on the companies I can't land a…

So I'm not sure if this is legal what they're trying to do or what but here's basically what's happening. About 6 months ago I got a new job that payed salary instead of an hourly wage.

Can they just up and decide that they are going to change it like this? Does it matter that they stated it would be salary in the offer letter?

I'll start. Several years back I was working as a service provider for the second biggest internet service provider in my city. This company paid a second, smaller company to provide on site tech support to the the customers of our Isp. I was basically a wandering IT guy It was going well till the Isp switched companies and they contacted me to continue employment under them. I got paid by the number of appointments completed and the number of appointments started falling drastically. On top of that, they started to just take their sweet damn time sending my money, and trying underpay me. I quickly lost patience. So one day I quit providing service. I didn't bother to tell them tho. So for a week or so there were no appointments fulfilled in the whole city. That's right, I was the only guy in the whole city providing support…

Our director (three levels up from me) just emailed a directorate-wide email. Spotted this little gem in his signature: If you receive this email outside of business hours, please reply during business hours We need more people like this.

This happened a few weeks ago and is still on my mind.  Started at a new company early last year and had my first performance review. I sat down with my leader and thought it was going well at first; I was told how much of a hard worker I was, how much the team loved me, and was complimented multiple times about how quickly I picked up the processes to support our clients.  Then my leader asks me “what would you rate your performance on a scale of 1 to 5?” I replied with a “4”, that I had really made an effort but there was still room for me to grow in my contributions as I was still learning the in and outs of the role.  He told me that I was more like a “3”. I was floored by this and asked if I had made any…
