Antiwork

I wanted to get some information and context with how I should approach the proposed extension of my term at work. I am currently covering a 14 month maternity leave and there is talk that the leave will be extended to 18 months, meaning my term will be extended by another 4 months. When I had first signed the contact, I signed on for a specific salary and for a 14 month term. Now having been in the role now for 9 months, I know that this position can pay a higher salary. My performance has been exemplary and I have grown their books close to 20% (which is pretty hard to do in my industry). My question is, given that this is a term position, am I able to ask for a raise if my contact was to be extended? Also being that the extension is only by 4…

Hello all. I’m in the US. I just accepted a job offer formally after negotiating for slightly more (.17 cents) hourly at that new job. After thinking about it, I think I am worth more than that and would like to ask again for a bump between .50 cents and a full dollar. As stated, however, I have already accepted the offer at the slightly higher rate. How would I negotiate a higher pay despite this? I was thinking of raising the point that I have just gotten an offer at a different firm that has a higher pay (which is true) and asking them to match. I have no real intention of accepting the other offer because it has such a higher workload but I do have leverage. What should I do? Thanks! This is a cross post on r/jobs as I wanted to get several perspectives.

Should that ratio be approaching 1:1 ina 13-person division? /s

Ok, let's me start this off by saying that I absolutely hate working for others (and being am employee). Not to sound weird, but this time around my colleagues are really great, the work pressure too is low with a good work life balance. However, once the increments comes in they are almost always in peanuts. I'm planning a side income but not very sure what to start. Being based out of an Asian country like India cound be taken into account. This is a genuine question. I probably would like to increase the side proj, into something I can fully grow and leave my work for, in next few years down the line. Any suggestions are appreciated. TL:RD:I'm a tech guy.

Personally, I think we should have replaced these two outdated institutions and instead use technology and automation to provide life-necessities for everyone without a price-tag. Decision-making could be handled by the scientific process in a cybernetic-system, making corruption less-likely to exist in society. But what do you think? Do you agree or disagree? And if so, why?

As the titles says. UK based. Let me give advice to those struggling in negotiations.

I am soliciting the help of tech savvy anti-workers to help me automate part of my job. Every morning as part of my job I need to send out a series of stock emails. The system is clunky and tedious for no apparent reason. This takes 30-45 minutes out of my day, time I would much rather be napping, scrolling Reddit, or wasting my bosses time in other ways. Worst of all, my pay is heavily metric dependent and these emails are not part of those metrics. This is all time spend that essentially SUBTRACTS from the incentive portion of my pay (which is probably why they don’t spend money to fix it, because the we would also produce more and get more per unit pay.) The system works as such, we use Salesforce (the most basic version) to compile customer emails. We then have numbered lists in sales force…
