Priorities
Recently quit a job due to being offered a better job with better pay. HR told me my final check will be mailed to me and she said if I change my address within a year to be sure to call so they can update it? I don’t expect a final check to be mailed in a year lol I thought it would be like a week at the most. I’m in California in case it’s different from state to state

I work for a healthcare insurance company that I will not name but let’s just say you most likely had this health plan with this company at some point. Our computers at work are so incredibly slow that getting to the desktop takes about 5 minutes and is still very sluggish while using. Now this might sound like a short amount of time but imagine sitting in front of a blank screen for 5 minutes, where you aren’t paid until you are actually logged in. In many cases I end up being late because how long it takes to load. Company is too cheap to upgrade PCs and work can be completely done remotely yet we are not allowed to work at home at all. I’m on very good relations with management to the point where I do not really worry of getting fired but still they cannot grant us…
Who is really resigning?
The following link goes into great detail about tech workers resigning and the desperation of tech companies. As a white-collar worker, I have been skeptical of ALL the press on the quits rate because the slant was always that service workers were quitting (implied because of corona), since I know so many office workers who quit. WELL, the article below furthers my suspicions as it states ” In IT alone, 31 percent of workers actively sought out a new job between July and September last year. This is the highest among all industries, according to analysis from Gartner ” And the article goes on to say how talent to find, presumably because people have quit. Tech Companies Desperate
Wage Theft
I work for a huge medical foundation. At the family practice I work at we are completely understaffed. No attempt whatsoever to hire additional staff has been made. So the staff that is left is expected to do the work of two people for the same pay. Don't forget, we're also “heroes”. I have the bumper sticker they mailed me as proof. /s. So our lovely, poorly qualified manager decided to implement a “no overtime no exceptions” rule. She said all work had to be completed before leaving, but absolutely no overtime (even though the company is literally saving about $200k a year at our office because we are so understaffed, but paying 15 minutes of OT a few times a week was unacceptable). So staff started clocking out and staying 10-60 minutes after, unpaid, to show their loyalty. The manager was completely aware of this. I have screen shots…
