I have a surgery coming up March 24th. My check is supposed to come the 25th. I asked my supervisor if my PTO could go on that check since I will be out till April. She said that they won’t do that. She says “Aint that your last day with the company?”. I have never insinuated I was leaving and even stated in my email to them in Dec letting them know about my surgery, i gave the exact dates of when I’d be gone and when I’d be returning. They denied my raise last week. They posted my job on Indeed two days ago. Now they’re not letting me use my PTO and the fact my supervisor says that makes me certain that they were planning on firing me during leave for “excessive absence”, since apparently that’s legal. I’m just super upset, and worse over, mad I can’t just…
Immigrant that’s in a temporary visa situation for a long time. CV and Experience – on paper – not a top candidate so very nervous for future prospects and have always thought I’m current in a position that is good opportunity. However, I am a competent, reliable and talented worker that’s been unhappy in my current company and position for some time. Beleiving it would be difficult short term to fill my varied role. With training and time competent people could do this role. I trained myself in role. I’ve found this sub and it’s helped me order my thoughts and give me some kind of viewpoint and perspective for what is and isn’t ok from employers. I work for a small firm in specialist home construction and have title of manager after working my way up from labourer position. The issues I’ve had besides being spoken to poorly, laughed…
Say, theoretically, I wanted a certain amount of money today to never have to work again, never have to worry about money again, but live a very luxurious life, how much would I need in my bank to retire on? (Granted I would be investing in index funds and S&P 500’s, etc)
I need help phrasing to “employer”
Company never made offer letter or anything but paid for my insurance exam. I didn’t fill out ANY FORMS! So I just want to make sure. My usual subs are quite dead but I can’t sleep and I know you guys have a lot of great information. I feel stupid because they convinced me to leave my job and I had no income for two weeks. Like I’m such a soft person and I feel bad for not paying them and yet I do not want to pay them. This is what I wrote for their email and I figured I send them a text message saying “hey I’m sorry to leave you on short notice but I have a better job opportunity for a full explanation please see the email I sent” “Dear company x,Hope all is well with you. I'm sending this email because I do not wish…
Whats up with everyday standups?
I recently realized that my work (software engineer) has this every fuking day. Is this the new norm? I started regreting going back to fulltime.
I’ve got another position available but need my p45 as proof of working. I’ve emailed HR and my previous manager; no response. Anything else I can do?
Where I work, we have limited Saturday hours and work a partial crew. There is a schedule posted and the supervisor assigns the work schedule based on pretty much her own whim. It varies how often in advance this schedule is done up ahead of time, usually several months. The rule has always been that you can switch Saturdays with another coworker if you need off, so long as you have coverage. I can't ask off, but I can compromise with a coworker and swap. I need next Saturday off. It doesn't have to do with the weekend, but the people I'm scheduled to work with (same supervisor is a raging bully, and she ropes in her favorite subordinate to help – both of whom make my life a living hell). I didn't want to make waves, so I elected to switch instead. Today I get a text saying that…
