CEO “Inner Circle”

I'm a manager and recently had a meeting with the CEO. He starts off by showing me a video about navy seals and how they'd rather have an incompetent but trustworthy (bootlicker) team member than a competent one. He then proceeds to show me a plot chart with all of the management team members and where he thinks they fall on a scale of competence and trust. He has 3 people that no one in the organization trusts because they're incompetent as the people he thinks are the most competent and trustworthy. He follows that up by heavily implying that if I want further advancement in the company I need to be in his inner circle and I can achieve that by spending off work hours doing off work things with him. I'm now looking for a new job. FYI, I was in the quadrant that is competent but not…

Advice needed: Should I switch or stay at my current company?

Guys, i need some advice. So I work in India and resigned from my current company because they were paying me pretty less. Now I am joining this new company which offered me 110% appraisal. My current company didn't match, however offered me like a 88% match. Current company (it was acquired by another big company a week ago) will give ESOPs and is expected to go live with their IPO in a year. I love working at my current company because there's absolutely no stress – my managers are good, so is the management. However, what I do isn't really teaching me anything as a Content Marketeer. Coming to the new company , the job is remote & also offers ESOPs. However it is a new company that started in 2020, it got like $10mn funding last year and is growing. The role is in the content marketing realm,…

Try To Buy Fair-trade

I understand Fair Trade items cost a little more, and those of us who enjoy coffee, tea and chocolate may be hesitant to spend a few more dollars per week over a year. I get it, yet I had the opportunity to meet someone who was intimately familiar with the current cocoa and coffee slave trade. No, they're not slaves in the sense that we used them in America, but they are highly underpaid workers doing a long, rigorous and sometimes quite dangerous job. Imagine doing your job without the promise of being paid on time? Without the promise of any safety inspections and no breaks? Imagine working 7 days a week and not allowed to leave because you won't be paid for your last month if you quit? Imagine having to rent all your uniforms, tools and shoes from your company but they charge more for them than you…

Should I resign or stay

I've been working for this relatively new company financial services company for nearly 2 years and have done so much for them during this time. During this time they have screwed me out of a good salary for so long with a promise that it'll improve in time, 2 potential redundancies which I successfully fought against and a non-existant work life balance. Some of my colleagues have moved on to the other roles and are doing well for themselves while I'm still here. The workload has increased tenfold and the company is not offering any type of support even though I've been crying out for some help for a while now, their excuse is always “it's good to be busy, think of the commission” but I can't think of the commission when I can't even service every client properly. I'm so very behind it's not even funny. I've asked for…
