Salary see-saw
Was applying for a job today and asked about job description, was told that since it's a new company, then “doing a little bit of everything”. When asked about the salary, the interviewer said that salary will be discussed with candidates who will go further, according to their experience and skills. I asked about the range and the interviewer was visibly annoyed, instead trying to make me give out a number, which I flat out refused, considering the way the conversation was going. It's that bad, huh?

I hate this kind of co-worker
Do you also have the kind of co-worker who is so obsessed with doing EVERYTHING by the rules out of sheer prinicple? I work at a school, and for once, all kids will be leaving by 2.45 pm instead of 5 pm. I talked to my my two co-workers and suggested that we could go home earlier now that there was an opportunity to do so. One of my co-workers said we have everything under control and that it shouldn't be a problem whereas the other one said “Now that all kids are gone, there are many things we need to do”… Like… we have nothing that needs to be done, so why being like this? She works 75% while I work full time, so… maybe I need this more than her?
I stumbled onto this article. It's titled, “toxic phrases highly insecure people use.” Then proceeds to list phrases used almost exclusively to address concerns in a toxic work environment. The article paints the clearly distressed individual that would use said phrases as lazy. It then advises that coworkers refuse to comfort or offer support to their distressed colleague. Instead, you should “interrogate them,” “refuse to accept excuses,” “poke holes in their postion,” and repeatedly pressure them saying that “excuses and claims, and claims need to be proven.” It's isolation and gaslighting 101. https://www.cnbc.com/amp/2023/05/11/psychology-expert-shares-toxic-phrases-highly-insecure-people-always-use-and-how-to-respond.html
Stolen from another sub but thought it would be appreciated here!
It really is a story to read about how corporate has transform a job embedded with everyone's to a gig economy meaningless underpaid task. It is a must read.

Which is which
I’ve been in this job for more than 2 years but I still don’t know how to work around my supervisor. She. Doesn’t. Delegate. Never thought I have to deal with someone like this. She always complains about having a lot of workload but she tends to do everything! Even the smallest tasks. It’s like if we do a task, we’re over stepping and if we don’t, we don’t have the initiative. Fckn sucks.
So, what about legal sabotage for a start ? You know… Quiet quitting, voluntary untrackable mistakes, sending fake applications in order to make HR work for nothing… https://preview.redd.it/ycjqf01ntcza1.png?width=400&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=e64f99cc89bba7113cf9a1c05748fc713694cd67
