I'm an introverted, shy person. I arrive to do my work and leave. My boss decided to have a conversation with me and said i look unhappy at work. I'm just there to earn money, i didnt tell him that but thats just how I feel. He says he wants everyone to feel okay and not crying. Im okay, but i guess i dont look ''happy'' ? I dont know what to do, i cant change who i am and how i feel. Im just there to do my job and get my money.
To put it in extremely blunt terms: Servers are concerned about their livelihoods. Customers are concerned about their ease of access to luxuries. And I don't think that qualifies them to lead discussions on the matter.
Ok, I believe in flat tax with no exemptions/deductions. I don't believe in infinite profits. I think instead of taxing the rich we should be regulating that they can only “earn” a sane ratio to their lowest paid employee, 10:1 feels high but fair, so if they want a raise, everyone has to get one. Otherwise they have to put that back into their company/product. Minimum wage should increase with inflation. And it should be called thriving wage. If your lowest paid worker needs welfare/foodstamps to survive, you are not paying them enough, or your business model doesn't work. I believe in rational working conditions. E.g. 35 hours a week max, if you need ot you need to hire. If you can accomplish 35 hours of work in 15, you should be allowed to leave (paid) or be allowed to train for a higher role. Pensions should exist again. Healthcare,…
I got my bachelors in winter of 22 and began job hunting shortly after. I made an account on LinkedIn, connected with alumni and professors, and updated my resume. I started applying for entry level jobs and internships in my field, mostly dealing with urban planning and sociology, and after three months, I got nearly a dozen rejections, hundreds of no-replies and one interview with the city Transit that went well, but they said they won’t follow up until a few more weeks so I have a feeling they won’t choose me. I’ve been following the subreddit for a while so I’ve heard all the stories with employers only hiring experienced workers, but I can’t even find anything entry level. The thing that makes me anxious is the rumor I heard that once you chose your career path it very hard to change it, whether it be changing college major…
Just joined the sub, and it made me think of an experience I had a couple of years back. I had applied for an entry level programming job, and one of the first questions I was asked was what year I graduated high school. I started working out of high school, and went to college after working a few years. I wouldn't say I'm old, but I was older than the traditional college grad by over a decade. The job I applied to required a college degree, so I didn't include my high school background on my resume. What was in my resume though was some relevant experience that would predate my time in college. During the interview, the interviewer didn't ask me if I had a GED vs a diploma, or where I went to high school, just what year I graduated. It seemed to me a very focused…
I gotta vent. I work in marketing, and I really enjoy most of what I do — MOST. Unfortunately, there's an element to my job that I absolutely loathe. Every week, I'm tasked with going through our clients' Yelp and Google reviews and providing meaningful responses to show that our clients give a shit (even though they really don't). You wouldn't believe the kind of crap I have to sort through! I'm not even talking about dealing with Karens or anything like that; I actually like that part as I get free license to hit them with facts and essentially tell them to fuck off. There are two types of reviews that really chap my ass: Reviews that are as fake as the day is long and clearly paid for by the client Genuine reviews from people that just HAVE TO share their story with others, as uninspired as they…
