Seemingly small win that is astronomically huge!

I work for a very large international insurance company (their name is on a NFL stadium in NJ). Today they bowed to employee pressure and announced that they have scrapped plans for return to office and have now designated all operations and call centers employees as virtual. I cannot express how huge this is guys. This company is old school. A dinosaur. Change is not a thing here. Some of my systems are still DOS based. Wow. Just, wow!

I don’t want pizza.

Dear businesses, please stop “thanking” your employees for their hard work by offering two slices of pizza on a paper plate. A meager lunch does not pay the bills. Instead, compensate them fairly for their time and effort. Bonuses, and other incentives like a half day with a full days pay will go much further and will show the people who work for you that you give half a damn. Respectfully, everyone.

Caused a meeting of everyone in my building by inquiring about co-workers wages. I’m a temp.

I've only worked at this warehouse for 2 weeks and was genuinely curious about the hire on process. I asked 1 lady, she said her pay was lowered after she got hired and it kind of got me heated. So on my break, I asked 2 others and they said they are not allowed to talk about their wages because it caused a huge problem before. Less than 1 hour later, everyone was called to a meeting by the owner and co-owner. They said talk of wages and personal compensation is strictly prohibited and can and will result in termination. What the fuck? I posted in legal advice because I'm pretty sure that's against the law. Anyways, I thought it was funny because they're obviously completely fragile about how they're paying people which means that they're 100% taking advantage.

Bragging about record profits is insulting.

So I work for a very large company in the US and the CEO recently posted to the employee website about how the company exceeded profit expectations for 2021. Meanwhile they’ve cut hours for most retail staff, wage increases are abysmal, and everyone is doing the work of at least three others. Meanwhile they can brag about exceeding profits and I’m sure they’re not hurting for money though.

My boss says we’re all overpaid.

Im sitting here listening to him talking to a factory rep(we’re a GM dealership) and he’s telling the guy that his whole department(service) is over paid and a bunch of divas. My last day is the 18th. So glad to be out of here.

Just wanted to leave this here

I see a LOT of white collars making 100+k a year on this sub. That's fine. Just know the reality for most Americans. https://www.ssa.gov/cgi-bin/netcomp.cgi?year=2018 As of 2018, 50% of Americans in the workforce had a net income of 32,000 or less, including contributions to retirement plans as part of that #. If you're wondering why we're in such dire circumstances, there's your answer. Also, it appears that 71% of Americans made less than 52,000 net, including employer contributions to retirement plans as “income.” There aren't 75,000,000 “better jobs” for half of America. Sorry.
