First of all, sorry for any typos or formatting; I'm on mobile. Also, it's kinda long so there is a TLDR at the end. So there's a lot of things I currently hate about my job (My boss not knowing what I am supposed to even be doing, micromanaging, being pulled different directions by different managers, having to train new people when I am fairly new myself, being told to “make” coworkers work when they won't even listen to me, the list goes on far too long to write it all here right now). I was already thinking of quitting, but I think this was the straw that broke the camels back. We are supposed to be getting a bonus within the beginning of March, and then one of my coworkers (the only other one in my department that actually knows and does the job) put in her two weeks…
Animated Anti work TV show
What do you all think would be a good premise for an animated anti work TV show? Obviously commentary about poor work conditions and shitty managers but what are some other themes and things you’d like to see in a tv show with this subject matter in mind?
What the title says. My annual review is coming up. I wrote an email to HR asking about my options for advancement (certification, education, etc). I have asked them to keep it between me and them & not tell my boss as I am only looking at my options before I consider any plan change. They replied asking for a chat over the phone. Should I be concerned they don’t want this in writing? Edit: I’m in a state where recording others without their knowledge is illegal.
my boss is a child.
i had recently quit my job, my boss has not submited any ROE to the gov, they held back my check and my separation slips for seems what no reason whatsoever, and had the audacity to be mad and have an attitude with me when i requested my papers for me to pick up. I have been waiting a couple months for them to do so, as it says he is required to do so after 5 callender days, says right on the gov site. Im am unsure what to do because i dont like burning bridges or calling people out, i am not receiving EI while i hunt for jobs so its very difficult to do so with no means of getting gas. any advice on what to do as i am currently lost. (in Canada btw)
I'm privileged to say that I love my job, and I'm so grateful for that. But a recruiter reached out to me for an opportunity and when she told me the range started at what would be a 50% increase for me, I had to learn more, even though part of me knew I'd miss where I am now. I went through the whole portfolio review and the guy is a little intense, and he's critiquing my portfolio, telling me things that “even basic designers should know” and I'm thinking, didn't you reach out to me? Why are you even interviewing me? I'll take feedback where I can get it, but I've been in this industry for 5 years and gotten plenty of jobs, its definitely not perfect but why are you even talking to me? This was impromptu, I had 2 days between the recruiter interview and this, and…
My store closed down
I work at an authorized retailer for AT&T called prime communications, and the store I worked at shut down. I walked to the store every day, and once it closed I figured I'd get fired and get unemployment, but instead my DM moved me to another store I have no way of getting to. He said I can either send a resignation email, or they can file job abandonment. What should I do in this scenario?
My boss is awful
So I have a bipolar and take meds so i can work and she made the comment that I’m sometimes delayed greeting customers and I was oh yeah it’s my medication it messes with vocab and proccessing time. She was like we need to find a solution to work on it. I legit looked at her and said what get put on different medicine and she legit said well it’s effecting customers. Oh also my phone is the issue and she’s going to have to start having me put it up. She thinks that causing the problem. I legit just filed an Ada compliment because hr does nothing
I did it I started my own business.
I'm not sure if it's kosher to pimp ones own business here so I'll hold back on sharing the details unless the mods okay it, but I did it I started my own business. I'm a photographer in particular I'm a landscape/building photographer. I don't really photograph people, but for the sake of expanding my business I'm about to break into that side of photography. I've only did this as a hobby but decided it was time to see if I can make some cash doing it. I don't expect I'll make it huge as basically I'm working as a freelance artist and let's just say the market is saturated with good talent and cellphone cameras making everyone a photographer. But just the simple fact that I'm doing my own thing regardless of if I succeed or not makes me happy and sure the pipe dream is to make enough…
