I’m resigning, thanks to a post on here

Hello everybody, I'll have to serve my notice period, but I'm quitting following a post I read on here about leveling up and hopping jobs to level up salary. I've been where I'm at for a few years, had some excellent results for the company (£400k+ in saving each year) and they've done very well. Meanwhile, I was deducted a few hundred from my 2% annual bonus because the company hadn't done as well as they had hoped overseas. My workload has exponentially increased, some people have left and I've consumed their workload without any reward as “it's good experience”. I'm the only one that manages several key aspects of the company, again because of “good experience” and not for any kind of reward. Following the job-hopping post here and after receiving the pathetic bonus I put my CV online. Had several agents immediately contact me and offer interviews. The…

A movie… remade and revised… and turned into a movie

Hear me out… I just watched a day without a Mexican (great movie) and I’m thinking maybe a movie called “a day without the working class” post COVID… I’m talkin everyone who isn’t at the top profiting in excess just decides NO MORE not until the entire work force can earn a living wage…among other incentives ya know the ones the folks at the top get! I say all this to say I word for a franchise of a company (IHOP) and they literally kept one our locations open because it was a tax right off! Profits over the people! They don’t care about customers, and they damn sure don’t care about employees! And I worked with so many other folks who would have bent over backwards to make the store run efficiently and anytime they would ask her to help she would! And when she asked for more pay…

Need advise: how to get my coworkers “work to live” instead of “live to work”

I work at a family business that isn’t open to the public. There are three of us who run the place – Jim is my uncle, who is supposed t be our manager. Len is a family friend. Jim is a very selfish conversationalist and absolutely dominates any conversation he walks into, uninvited or not. The running joke is that Jim can here people talking from up to 5 miles away and can travel at light speed to said conversation and immediately start a full on TED talk. Jim will often take a break during work and sit and tell stories about how awesome he is, how everyone loves him, he saves the day in every story. His stories can melt into each other and before you know it, he’s been talking for over an hour. Sometimes he does this at the end of the day and talks until it’s…

How should I get my picture taken down?

Last year I landed my dream job, but had to leave after a few months. The manager was an asshole, using she/her for a non binary coworker, sexually harassing customers and staff, having ME be the main trainer and do managerial duties even though I was on base $16/hr pay, run twitch streams on shift and donate $500+ to streamers while saying that he can't pay me more, and a whole litany of other terrible things. I recently looked them up, and they're still using 3 pictures of me on their Google page, two of them insinuate that I work there. I had said it was okay to use them, but that agreement should've ended with my employment. I don't want my picture up there anymore, what witty thing should I send my old asshat boss to get those taken down?

VP of sales lied to me.

I’m a part of a sales team that hits metrics like all sales teams and last year we were told if we achieve “winners circle” we get a trip to Costa Rica. Like mid June I was miles ahead of my team so much so that I was told to get a passport. Well omicron put a stop to the trip and I was told they’d pay me out $5,000 since we can’t go. I was then called back by the VP saying there was a mistake and they are in fact giving me $10,000. I was so happy I told my mom my gf it’s now enough money to put down in a house. I checked my bank today and I only got $5,000. Now granted that’s a good bonus but what the fuck? She also wouldn’t give me it in writing and told me not to tell my…

Annual review coming up

I haven’t had a review with my current employer in over 3 years. It comes up every year and they’re “serious” about it this time. I’m not going to hold my breath until my manage schedules it. Anyway in the event it does happen, I’m going to tell her that I’ve met my goal for 2022 already by getting BMFS tickets at Red Rocks in May. I’ll also mention I don’t have any other goals identified at this time because every job is a dead end job including hers and all the way up to the CEO. Noone is getting out of this life alive so why should I do anything above then bare minimum? I’ll continue with taking paid lunches and staying utilized, just keep approving those timesheets.
