What’s your reason for existence?
We had our annual company wide call yesterday. They were very excited to announce that we exceeded all of our 2021 performance goals and we exceeded our profit expectations by nearly 20%. They were also very excited to announce that raises were approved and we would be contacted by our supervisor to discuss our raises today. I was pretty excited and relieved. Well, I got my raise today-2% pay increase and a pat on the back. Also, they announced last month that we are returning to the office full time after two years of WFH. This will not even pay for the my commute. TL;DR: got a 2% raise and lost money
My work loves me and I've been here for 4 years . Recently I was asked how long I was planning on staying and I told my boss that I was moving out of state in the fall ( so 6 to 7 months from now). I also told her it's not confirmed yet, as my wife and I don't have plans yet. It's just what we want to do. Ever since then, my boss keeps making comments about how I'm leaving so soon and doesn't want me to participate in trainings that are directly related to my work now. I feel that these training could really benefit my work for the next 6 months. Is this weird or a red flag?
Just got hired maybe a month ago. Threw me into my first shift alone with no training, didn't complain. I was supposed to only work part time (3 days a week) due to being in school. The 2nd week of work I got handed 40 hours. One of the other employee's had a baby and needed time off, no biggie. During that 40 hour work week: I get cursed out by some drunk chick that stumbled into the store because our register wasn't working. We got a case of domestic violence happening in the store. One of my shift replacements was 5 hours late, so I had to work a 15 hour shift that day. And the store got robbed, I was alone when it happened. I got fired because I requested for one weekend off.
Thinking back to before I was broken.
I was 16 and working at a car wash. Now, I was a soon to be gutter punk trying this “job” thing out because I was making payments on an old truck. I was told to wash my truck or park elsewhere. I asked if the car wash was free. He said no. So I said that when he starts making my car payments, he can tell me what to do with it then. I started parking on the street right across from it and driving in mud more often. You absolutely had to see my filthy shit covered anarchy wagon if you where going to turn into the car wash. They went to the town council to male that street no parking. I gathered up some buddies and 18-year-olds to ask the town council to build a skate park right next to the car wash. Where we would allow…
A little stressed.
Allow to introduce myself. I'm a hardworking, 54yo, Australian male. I work for a business that manages unit complexes. I am the groundsman/maintenance person at 2 of said complexes, one of which consists of 113 units, the second is 55 units. I live in the managers residence at the smaller complex, and do enjoy a rent discount compared to market rates. I take care of all the gardens, lawns, pool, tennis courts etc at both complexes, with no help from anyone else. I work hard to make both complexes look good as well as taking care of tenants needs repairing and maintaining leaky tap, broken hinges, etc I've recently had a health scare with the return of Cancer in my body and have had to take time off for treatments and doctor's visits. I've been trying to do as many hours as I can to support my children, I'm also…
“Nobody wants to work anymore”
That line. That one line drives me mad. I have to hear it all the time at my current job, since I work for the public and rent equipment to businesses for jobs. I have to bite my tongue nearly off every time I hear it. How brainwashed these people are to an exploitive system that disregards you as a human being is beyond me. So badly do I want to give these people a piece of my mind, but once again, I must hold back for the fear of losing my job that I desperately need. These people seem to not understand how impossible it is to live now a days. And are so stuck in their own head that the system will reward them if they forfeit their entire lives too it. Im sick of it man. I can't take this anymore Rant over
