For over 24 years I have always been told from my plant manager as a company, would rather promote from within, yet they consistently continue hire outside the company. Also having been personally told “we don’t just hand out positions. Everyone has to apply and go through the application process”, which was also not true on many occasions in the last 5 years alone. The hardest decision I have ever had to respect is the fact that I was personally groomed over 2 years for a supervisor role, which was not only handed to someone else but then having me personally transition said replacement into that role and now one year later someone who has zero no knowledge of the department has been selected as his replacement when he takes time off. All of this has made it increasingly difficult to feel I’m contributing enough or my input is even…
Is it ethical to lie on your resume?
I see some people here saying to do it, but doesn’t that just edge out the honest people?
1 less chain in the wheel
I’m telling my employer tomorrow that I will not be returning to work for them. Or for anyone else for that matter. Be the change you wish to see in the world! That is all! Wooooooooooooo
This sub is great for helping workers learn their rights and supporting existing union efforts, but we have over 1.7 million people and I think we could start brainstorming and doing a lot more. The ridiculous protest in Canada has shown that a bunch of vehicles on a road is basically untouchable, meanwhile any other protest is immediately shut down. Even aside from protests we could have a stickied thread for recent news and ideas. List of local representatives to call/mail, etc.
Stressed by An Obsessed Customer
I lost it today and finally opened up to my supervisor about a customer (I’m in retail) whom is constantly asking me to go out with him EVERY single time he checks out at my register. He is a construction contractor and makes several purchases daily. I told my supervisor that it makes me uncomfortable and stressed because he is so persistent in his invitations. I wanted to file a complaint but needed some help with the form and as he stood close by, he asked if I needed to move to another register up front …to “move away” from my regular area. This would undoubtedly change my future schedule and the times I normally work…in other words, a downgrade. I started to cry and asked why a victim of sexual harassment has to change and not the customer. All I want is for him to stop his advancements and…
How is 3-5 years Entry Level?
The work is fine, it’s bosses that suck
Been reading this subreddit for a while and the common theme I feel that floats to the top is how humans treat each other. It's not that work sucks, it's that people suck. Perhaps it's warranted to be frustrated with someone. Perhaps there are issues that are happening to you personally, or professionally. If we remember to treat each other well then most of what gets complained about here doesn't happen. This subreddit would be a lot less popular with people treated others with respect, work hard and be there when you need or are needed to be. Of course things come up the prevent our work ethic from being on point or prevent us from being on time, but that's where the respect comes in. Whatever your job is, if your superior treats you with dignity and respect and you return that by working hard and being on time……
