We see this everyday. It’s always the average and underachievers getting the promotions and raises. The hard workers just stay where they’re at because the bosses know they don’t have to incentivize them when they already have a strong work ethic to begin with. The average workers and the under achievers keep getting raises and promotions because they know to do precisely what their lackluster managers want them to do.
Any thoughts on Chewy as a company
So I just had a great experience with a customer rep from Chewy.com and wanted to see if anyone ever worked for them. My pet parent friends have always raves about their customer service and how friendly they are. I was curious if they treat their employees as well as their customers. When my dog died them send a hand written signed card and refunded me my recent food purchase. Yesterday they refunded me $100 of dog food because my dog didn’t like it and said just donate the rest to a local shelter. On this forum we talk a lot about companies that are awful to employees and how as customers we should avoid doing business with them. I think if it’s also good to recognize businesses that treat both employees and customers well. I only know the company from being a customer so was curious about them from…
I've had my eyes on this promotion for a while now, and was making sure to progress in terms of pure technical knowledge in my field as fast as I can. My boss knew I was aiming for this new job, and was approving of it. I then learn by chance that they're looking for someone to fill the position outside the company, because “no one has the required competences inside”. Very well then. I'm already more than annoyed, when I'm told that it's gonna be my job to walk that new person through their job. The very job I'm reportedly to incompetent to get, and that pays almost 2x as well. What the hell do I do now ?
this is pretty much a rant
I fucking HATE DOING ONLINE APPLICATIONS. EVEN MORE SO WHEN I APPLY AND THEN THEY ASK ALL THESE FUCKIN QUESTIONS THAT I ANSWERED IN THE APPLICATION. Like fuck, do your job right or do it old school. Thanks for listening to my rant.
Quit my job last week
No long, drawn out story of me quitting unfortunately, but it feels so great to say. I graduated 8 months ago with a degree in computer science, and have been working a dead-end IT support job since then for a company that cares only about profits. After 8 months of dealing with dumb, rude, outlandish client calls and working unpaid weekends every month, I can finally say in done. Landed a development position for 50% more than I'm making now, and quit without notice early last week. After a lot of posturing from my boss, I called his bluff and havnt heard from anyone at my old company since. To all, it gets better! You just need the strength to get there.
I was the detailer for a Caliber Collision shop in my area. My primary job was just that, detailing cars. However as time went on, I kept being stuck with other bullshit jobs. Taking cars (some being completely unsafe to drive) to whatever location, and rounding up trash are a couple. And when I say trash, if you’ve worked at a body shop you know how it is. Mountains and mountains of cardboard, plastic wrappings, heavy junk parts off of wrecked cars, etc. I was the ONLY person expected to manage a whole shop’s worth of trash. All of this would detract from the time I had to do my actual job I was hired for. Fast forward to a couple weeks ago and I kinda fell into an amazing opportunity at the place I now happily work, for a boatload more money. I am now gone from Caliber, but…
Hey y'all, I'm right off the heels of this (just happened last night) and just needed somewhere to vent. I worked for a small business (technically a chain but we had all of 3 people working at a time max) and to make a long story short, I was the only one besides the owner who knew how to do half the stuff this job demanded. The holidays were our busiest time and, before they'd begun, I requested some time off in the future since I knew the owner was going through medical treatment and wanted to be courteous by adjusting my schedule around theirs. Big mistake. To make a long story short, they blew up at me when I tried to actually go through with the plans, refusing to grant even a single extra day and actually expecting me to cancel last minute plans that unexpectedly came up to…
