There is no difference, let’s adjust our language accordingly. Oligarchs rule the US, workers are not free here.

RUDE HR Manager

Hey bros, So I was talking to a recruiter for a company that my friend who was also my ex-manager was working at and highly recommended. She said the people were really polite, and she thought I would be a great fit for the role, so I decided to send off a cover letter to them for the role, and heard a reply from them the day after asking me if I wish to partake in an interview. Story goes like this. Juicy part is point 4. The recruiter asks me some basic questions about the role, my past experience, and if I would like to give some time-slots on when I may be able to interview which I did, but then there was also a question about my monthly salary expectations, which I gave to her after-tax. She asked me to connect with her on Linkedin which I did,…

been asking for a new laptop for half a year now

i work as a software engineer for a decently sized company with good profits. most employees have good laptops but i was given an old one that has most keyboard keys that stick, screen hinge has about 4 inches of free play, mouse pad is too small and dingy to be usable, cannot be unplugged from power for more than 10 mins. i argue that i would like to work from my couch sometimes instead of being plugged into a ton of external peripherals, so i need all of those things to work. older management cannot relate to not working at a desk. it most definitely is impacting my work performance but upper management won’t budge. when i quit i will bring that up as one of the reasons. Edit: 100% of my work is on this laptop. I am a SOFTWARE ENGINEER.

Screw these managers

So I work at a big automotive supplier in germany and it's my job to assess the compliance of the product to certain technical standards and normatives. This results in a document where I have to deliver the proof of compliance and provide a clear statement of compliance for legal departments, authorities and customers. So far, i really love my job. But for many months now, as i have been constantly highlighting and proofing incompliancies, engineers and managers ask me to explain them what they have to do (they know it but refuse to do it) and basically end up telling me i should create those evidences by myself. Many of those topics require a lot of technical expertise which i don't have. Lately, i'm being pulled into any possible escalation and i have to find excuses for a shitty product in front of assessors, authorities and customers which i…

The snake eating its own tail

I have been working at my current job since october 1st 2021, so less than half a year. And I am already so done with the company it is unreal. I am working in local journalism, but in my country, there is one huge company that publishes over 100 small, local newspapers, I don't live in a big country, so that's basically as local as you can get. As you can assume, working in journalism is all about connections and networking. You want the mayor of the town to talk to you comfortably, you want the police to take time to give you statements, and most importantly for this company, you need businesses to advertise since it's entirely ad-financed. Well, this company has an insane turnover rate. barely anyone makes it more than a year, especially in my region. And it is just simply embarassing, people all the time tell…

The difference in QOL between middle class incomes and higher class incomes is very narrow.

As title says. Having a job that pays 90% top income just increases the quality of the products you consume. It's having a branded new gen phone or a lower cost older version. Same goes for houses and cars, it's mostly just better versions of the products you already own. You generally feel safer when not living from paycheck to paycheck, but the general life experience is just “premium”. Significant changes come around when peoples money starts generating money on its own.
