Working the night shift
Imagine that your work puts 100 into your company's coffers. You sold a deal, you cut cost, you save a client, whatever it was. You did something and the company got 100. Generally, what percentage of that should go to you? Yes – it will depend on a lot of variables. if you need a specific example to work with, your current employment, contract, job, will work. Assume that you make enough to live on (and I completely understand that there are people who don't). Just in general, Company makes X, what percent should go to the people who did the work?

Interesting conversation with my boss.
Through casual conversation me and my boss were talking about money. He says to me “so you’re only working for the money” and I said “yes” he says “that’s terrible, I don’t want someone greedy working here” I asked him if there was anything in the world he’d rather be doing right now and he said of course. I then said “I work here to fund those things, my life isn’t in this office. It’s the minute I get out of here and do things does my life start” It blows my mind how brainwashed people are. Do people really think they are greedy for wanting money to do fun things. Like I didn’t come up with this money Shit, y’all did. I just want to make some just to give right back so you guys leave me alone. (You guys meaning mr boss man/ government)
I got a new job that starts in a week from Monday, even tho I told them I need two weeks. I am in a big conundrum now. For my current job I’m working as a contractor. They have put me thru hella without paying for overtime, on call or for holidays. I have to be on call in a week from now for a whole week. They are also low on staff already and will be more if I leave, which I will sooner or later. Should I just quit Monday and take a week off before new starts?
First post here, and I'll start off saying I have no idea how to format on reddit, so I'm sorry for that in advance. I had worked for a local county-level government with a clerical position in the Social Services department. I can't really go into much detail about the actual job due to confidentiality concerns, but fortunately this is more about the treatment received by the bosses that went (and unfortunately still goes) ignored if not encouraged by the higher-ups. Off the bat, being openly queer was met with resistance from a boss with comments like “Oh, that's so gay” said to me when a printer stopped working, just small things, but they started building up. The job had a six month probationary period before even getting the starting pay, instead getting a lower wage for the 6 month period. During this time, although I was walking on eggshells…

Walked out on toxic shith*le
I spent a good year and a half on site at a client taking care of the employees needs, only to be under mind by the ethically compromised plant manager, his boot licking lackeys, and willfully inept supervisors. There comes a tipping point where enough is enough. I’ve never considered walking out on a job before. The environment was so combative it was conducive to this type of behavior from the employees. If you push someone enough, they break. I’m not sure if I feel like I did something wrong, but I know that things could’ve been handled completely differently, mainly by the toxic management. I am so glad I’ve moved on, within a week I was offered a boost in pay and the title worth holding onto.
