I'm torn. I don't agree with some of his stances on issues (unrelated, not relevant to this post). I like him in the general sense as being someone with strong views some of which can be used retroactively. But recently I was made privy to a video he made where he claims to work 100hrs a week. 14hr days. The rest of the time he claims to spend time with family and friends whilst also doing carpentry and fixing up his “cottage” or whatever. When does this man eat, sleep or get time away from people/working?! Jordan Peterson is someone who a lot of (generally young men) look up to as an example of how they should live their lives. Working 100hrs a week, 14hr days. I'm torn between my enjoyment of many of some of his sentiments and my inability to agree with his promotion of this type of…
“This sh*ts got to go” -Jacque Fresco
Currently my workplace is hiring salespeople. But because it’s commission-only and it takes a significant amount of time to get established in this business, we’ve seen a lot of declined job offers. And me as a peon gets to hear how sad it is that “no one wants to invest in themselves.” When has anyone actually said the words “you know what, I hate investing in myself I’d rather keep pissing my money away”? People can’t not eat for 3+ mos that’s not a thing. Anyone would choose a lot more money later than a lot less money now – that’s literally what investing is. They don’t have the option to go without an income. What are your commission horror stories?

Problem solved!
My department has been buried in a backlog of emails from clients going back to December due to being short staffed. This past week we dug ourselves out thanks to mandatory overtime. To prevent this from happening again senior management announced that an employee cannot carry more than 10 emails over into the next day. Same staff level, same work load, same average handling time requirements…so in short,the best solution management could come up with to fix a problem is to make the problem our fault
For some background, I'm likely leaving my current company for another agency that'll pay me nearly double. The staff that I work with are kind and hardworking but because of the stress of the environment, everyone's kind of pressured not to ask for raises and bonuses regardless of all the days we pick up. There's kind of a sentiment that management is stressed out under pressure to perform even though we've never perceived them as hard working or on our side since we can predict they'd side with administration when it comes to us. Anyways, I want to encourage as many people as I can, company over all has a maybe 2000 – 3000 employees and at least 1500 could leave for other places paying them at least 40% more. And for those not comfortable for leaving I want to at least encourage them to put their foot down and…
The title says it all, I am currently looking for another job because of personal and professional issues. I have gone to multiple interviews and they have all asked if my current boss knows I’m leaving. What would be the best answer for the questions like that during the interview?
I'm 18 a lube tech I've been at jiffy lube 4 months I get payed the least have the most experiance (2 years auto tech school) and get paid $60 a day to do nearly 30 oil changes its endless, we rip off customers$ wise and I dont make minimum wage I want to get tf away from automotive besides my own vehicles now and aim to be a web dev next year I live with parents and have a little savings. I feel I don't need this job rn I might drop my 2 weeks I do most all the work while 5 jackasses stand around and I get soaked in oil every day (I despise oil and hydrocarbon shit) and have ruined many clothes and boots in those 3 months I work part time 25 hours a week only make about 120-200 a check customers don't appreciate you…
Have you ever showed up the first day, only to realize the job listing, offer letter, or details discussed during the interview ended up having nothing to do with the actual team or job responsibilities they gave you? I started a new job this week! And the only thing that actually matched what we discussed in the interview were the pay and benefits. I ended up on a different team, different manager from offer letter, different tech stack from what was discussed in interview and job posting (I'm a software dev), and the nature of their company culture turned out to have far more micro-management than what was proudly proclaimed in the interview. Anyone else been blatantly misled in order for them to get a body in a chair?
Absolutely done.
Once again I got suspended because of a customer complaint, that absolutely never happened. I’m seriously thinking of just jumping the gun and quitting. It’s becoming to the point where I’m missing work for something I didn’t even do. I told them before I walked out that they need to believe their employees before customers because w/o employees there isn’t anyone to serve the customers.
