Bad Manager
Hey everyone, I have a situation I was hoping someone could help me navigate at work. We just recently had a new manager start at our warehouse located in British Columbia and he is on a major power trip. There hasn't been a single day since he started that someone hasn't either been written up, pulled into the office or screamed at by him. hes constantly threatening to fire ppl and saying negative comments. He also walks back and forth throughout the warehouse looking for reasons to give ppl shit, he has turned the entire warehouse into a hostile work environment where we have to constantly be looking over our shoulders for him. 2 days ago I had some of my coworkers come up to me and ask if I could make a report about him to HR and have them all sign it.

Always record your calls
Yesterday i made a call to RrHH of my employer and i drop the bomb, end contract and everything was normal, until today another person above of my boss call me to ask why i was leaving the company and request me information about the new job (i dont have any so far) yelling and call me all names on the book, after a few hours another call from main RRHH almost asking about the interaction with the boss, i ended showing the recorded call and looks quite complicated how this will end

Publishing salary information also means that competitors and current employees can see what a company is paying. In some cases, current employees may discover that they are underpaid, which could lead them to demand more or find a new job. “That's the scary part, that is why [companies] aren't putting it in writing,” she said.”
No Salary Listed for a Reason
Companies don't/won't list salary for an open position because they don't want existing employees to know what they're willing to pay a new person for the same job. Even small companies with 2-5 people working the same positions will have a wide variety of salaries.
I currently work for a law firm in the UK and like many, this pandemic has opened my eyes to the value of working from home and having a better work/life balance. It has also thrown up many new job opportunities in my industry for the same role at a higher wage and better prospects but due to the higher wage, one question I have been asked in an interview is how can they justify offering me a higher wage when it will be a WFH role?.. My first answer was well you’re actually saving money but also my wage should justify my work ethic, ability and professionalism not the environment I operate in so I just wanted to ask for this subs thoughts and answers!
