Hi everyone, love this community! I'd like your help on how I can use this situation to my advantage, while setting boundaries. My department is overworked and I frequently work unpaid overtime (salary). I moved over to a new industry because I was burnt out buuut joke's on me cause I'm feeling stressed out here too working wild hours. Recently 2 of my colleagues put in notice around the same time (reasons: burnt out, wfh policy, salary differences), which means I'm the last one standing in my department (one of my colleagues was on leave but coming back in a couple of weeks). Found out even my manager is job hunting lowkey. I'm extremely concerned I'm going to be expected to work at triple capacity and take on more (with what extra time??!!). We are transitioning new platforms so there is a lot of learning and planning involved that id…
The title says it all. They said the job had a “competitive salary” which they only reveal after an arduous application process followed by an interview. Surely this can't be legal?
Eventually the DOL was able to change it to 32,000 a year in 2019. But the Trump administration has stolen 15,000 – 20,000 dollars a year from any salaried employees for several years.
I posted a commentand a postexplaining the situation that gained quite a bit of traction under this throwaway and to my surprise you guys let my former boss know how you felt about it as well through phone calls. That morning she started making changes, giving my coworkers back their hours that were cut, and provided drinking cups (there may have been more changes as well I don’t know). She was telling the people who organized the strike with me that she was upset about the uproar her behavior has caused. I’m not sure exactly what was said, and hoping that there were no threats and everyone supported the post in a firm, yet respectful way when speaking to her. Thank you r/antiwork. A very large amount of you apparently are from the Portland area and showed your support. This is exactly why you should drop names and stand up…
They Wanted Me to Beg
Started a job at the coordinator level, realized three months in that the job that they were expecting performance at a manager level. I bring this up to my supervisor and they say that I am on a fast track for a promotion to the manager position. I feel surprised and happy that they basically read my mind. Two months later I make the formal request for the promotion. Manager says they will start the process. I asked a couple times about the process, they gave me a couple updates. After two months there's no progress. I get told that I will have to wait a year to get the promotion due to internal policies. That week I get hit up by a recruiter on LinkedIn which offers me the promotion level position, fully remote and double pay. I go through the interview process and get the job. Manager says…
