We agreed on pay over a handshake.

I’m in a pretty high up position that I earned for doing the groundwork and building my CEO’s company that got started half a decade ago. Part of my concessions early on was shit pay because I knew what could be afforded. Last year our company was in the black and we started talking pay. I made about 5% of the gross revenue I figured out at the end of the year. A little more but I rounded down. I went to the boss and stated my case in negotiations and said the company will grow and I want my pay to grow at the same rate. I want 5% off all income that comes into our business. We agreed with a base pay and the rest to be paid as a bonus at the end of the year to get me to 5%. If the company had a rough…

Leaving my job due to discrimination

i have documented evidence of my boss, who was hired after me, asking me if I had ADHD and then criticizing my “personality” and how I handle things as far as scheduling doctors appointments and sick days. I also have psoriatic arthritis, and have had to go to many doctors visits to get properly treated. He also said that since my personality wasn’t great that they could easily train the new girl ( we just hired a new person in our department ) to do what I do. I am fucking done with this guy. I love my work and have put in 110% for my job. But I will not bust my ass for someone who treats me like this. On a side note: People have been leaving my company in droves ever since I started about 8 months ago. Its due to the fact that the CEO has…

it’s about the culture more than the job

It has finally dawned on me that jobs are so much better when the culture is great, no matter how bad the work is. – I’ve always worked Maccas and Supermarkets for the past three years as i’m only 17. Recently attended Basic Traininf for the army in my country and had to come home due to an injured anjle (although they’ve garaunteed me a slot on the next training in June.) Now that I got back this week I got right into job hunting for the next few months, ended up landing a job at a cardboard printing factory. It is a 5am start til 4pm and I bloody love it, 5 days of 11 hours yet still offered to work a 6th shift of how good the culture is. I only get $18USD (converted) a hour although after 40hrs I get $27 a hour for the remainder although…

What’s your opinion on working

I see working as a matrix, you supposedly work to get a better life but all your progress is reset by taxes, all capitalist society wants from citizens efficiency and doesn't give shit about mental condition. Even if you do something you like you're forced to do it for the rest of your life, almost never getting a chance to try something new.

I feel I reached my high point.

For context I'm 23M a few years ago when I was 19 I got my first job at a hotel as a server for there restaurant. I did that for a few months when the head engineer offered me a job at higher pay and he'd train me. I took it and he fought with the GM to allow me to get the position. He trained me and was a very kind boss. After a couple years I had gone from the 9$hr to 10$hr because (I was being trained according to the owners) and my boss who was making 20$hr told me he found a better offer for himself and that he was leaving. They never found another head engineer so the role fell to me. I eventually got boosted to 13$hr and was taking care of taking inventory, making lists of what tools I needed and interviewing for…
