My partner has an aggressive and disrespectful manager. What strategies of resistance can workers use? Here’s our list so far: -Work slowdown: take as much time as possible to complete tasks -Work to rule: complete only tasks specifically required by employment contract What else can he do to sabotage his boss?
I was an ad writer for a company called Boost CTR in San Francisco. We wrote Google Ads and in 2015 the work was abundant, allowing me to spend my day job doing my second job. A Boost manager disliked me and, despite being the very top performer (they had a performance chart) I was fired. The manager was soon fired so I reached out to an executive there and asked if I could re-apply on a trial basis. She punted it to someone else, and that person said my ad samples did not meet their standard. I then applied under another name, and they replied quickly: THEM: We need foreign language writers. do you speak French, German or Spanish? ME, with pants on fire: I speak all 3. THEM: Take this test. The test had nothing to do with those languages. It asked what a preposition was, which ad…

Obs.: English is not my 1st language, so sorry in advance and I'll clarify anything that comes up in the comments as needed. So I'm currently working in a big education company. We offer affordable college to people that wouldn't have the opportunity to graduate otherwise. Still profit driven and a lot of possible problematic conversations are possible, but still… Better than my previous job in a bank. I'm happy with my role and I see the direct management and up to VP being widely focused in delivering quality education to our students/clients. My manager just hired a trans man with almost no skills to support me in my attributions, and put me in charge of giving him the tools to grow skills in excel, power bi, etc. And I'm genuinely happy to do so as in my country is very hard to trans people to get good jobs. Also,…
Been working at my company for 3 years and I’ve become the “do it all guy” . We’ll recently new hires have been started at a wage higher than mine I took my complaint to the GM and told me there’s nothing he can do but wait till next quarter to “work out a raise” well I took it as a sign that maybe I’ll get what I deserve . Next quarter comes and I was told a raise couldn’t be approved right now I told him this might be my last two weeks then and he preceded to say “the last thing we want is for anyone to go” so since I had already basically put my quitting notice I decided to text my Supervisor from another number inquiring about (me) as if I had applied for another job just to fuck with them . Next day I was…
Last Thursday night I had a mental breakdown at work and vented to my boyfriend and both him and our friend came over to check if I was okay. I was absolutely miserable. The next day I was helping them move our friends stuff and decided to talk to me about my situation. I was being mistreated and already got fucked over because they payed 5.50 instead of 15 for 9 hours of work on Thanksgiving, lied to me about giving me a day off while having me work on my days off this week, and moving my ten hour shifts to thirteen hour shifts on Saturdays. So I texted my boss that I got a better job opportunity and quit almost an hour and a half before my shift. Then he started calling me demanding to tell him what's going on even after I told him I quit and…
