executives who don’t produce real work are the dead weight, not underpaid laborers.

I've had too many jobs where half the executive team sit around talking most of the day, offering minimal direction and help to the employees doing the work that gets them paid. I moved into an executive role recently and I'm disgusted. I still work, grunt hard labor work, and I do my executive processing while getting shit done. The others on the Executive team sit in offices discussing how others should work. Not saying there's not value to the thought and direction that goes into a company. But your true product/service producers are the only reason you make money. Step up and get real work done. Do you really think sitting in a room discussing and directing other people's work is with 2-3-4x the real workers wage? I call bs.

“Company time”

I work in at a law office, it’s a big company but our office is small, only about 20 employees. Since we’re such a small office, the rules are pretty lenient and people goof off probably more than they would if HR was actually in the office. That being said, there’s one girl, who I’ll refer to as M, who is always being picked on for “wasting company time”. And she’s not even being picked on by the lawyers, it’s the other paralegals that are doing it. Does anyone have any tips for M on what to say as a comeback when people who have literally no authority over her are picking on her for “wasting company time”? Like something smart about how company time is bullshit anyway. I’m not well versed enough to help her form an argument with this.

Being guilt tripped into working 6th Day

So work has mandated all shifts work normal schedule on Saturday so as to cover for Thanksgiving holidays. Technically as a temp i dont have to go in BUT the guilt tripping by my boss is strong, add to fact the physical nature of the position & that im already getting OT during the week im at the point of dropping dead. Yes i could always use extra money but im also not 21yo & i work my 40 all week just so i can watch football & if i cant do that well…it might be back to drawing board so stay tuned If it wasnt so damn expensive to move to Europe & ofc the language barrier…

Today, i realized your boss or company will not care about you

so after a “mistake” i did, my boss got angry and what hurts me the most is when he said , EVERYTHING I GIVE TO YOU GUYS is a HEADACHE! Like we never did anything good for him. It just hurts me that i started crying in the washroom coz i realized that whatever hard work you will do- nobody will care about it and about you. We had a good work relationship, coz i always do the task in a timely manner but this one task which i did an error- he started fuming. Thank youfor letting me rant
