If the Russian Ukraine conflict spills to China and Taiwan, and the US gets involved and this turns into WW2 scales of conflict and ultimately the country starts begging for economic solidarity would you still go on strike for your workers benefits/ union rights/student debt? Or would you put up with the status quo for longer? Is your line of logic: I don't care about the country that doesn't care about me. Or: I support the military to support Ukraine
I'm a software engineer and previously worked for a company that had a really strong engineering team. But then the company went the cheap route, things got horrible, everyone – except my friend left. We watched their mental state go down. They finally hit a breaking point and left a couple of days ago and I'm super stoked for them. Basically, what happened is our company kept making promises, more engineers, more help, more money, more resources. Instead, they kept none of the promises. They hired a team of contractors which went poorly, a couple of them were stellar, but some just literally did nothing. We were all working for roughly 20% under market value, and when the broken promises started getting bad, engineers started leaving. First the director, then senior engineers, then everyone. Before I left I said essentially “hey, I'd like market average, here is what it is…
So last year I left a long term job to change locations. Things are going badly and we need to go home. I reapplied at my former job, and my interview was yesterday. While I was working there I had what they called “attendance issues”. What they actually were, were several physical and mental health issues (none of which were helped by mandatory 8 hours overtime LITERALLY EVERY WEEK), which I have explained to them ad nauseam, and every time it was like talking to a brick wall. So fast forward to yesterday's interview, which started ten minutes late. It was a panel interview, there were 3 unit managers and the ADON present. We do the interview, it goes OK, and just as we're wrapping up, the former DON logs on (at this point 30 minutes late) and spends 20 minutes berating me and insisting on knowing “what's changed”. Like,…
My bosses already rack in so much money! They own a private practice and recently he hiked up some of the prices. Like why?? 1 days worth of work there could literally pay for my mortgage, utilities, HOA fee and groceries. They recently asked me to think of ways to save money. Motherfuckers drive teslas and act like they're broke. They also didn't give my coworkers raises last year! I'm so sick of their bullshit excuses and them treating my friend's incorrectly.
Hello to my favorite sub, first time poster here. I was wondering if anyone could help me with a coworker situation. A coworker of mine has begun to send me essay-long, disrespectful, work related messages to my cell phone. The only reason she has my phone number is because I was helping her turn off the ring tone on her phone and called her to see if it worked (she saved my phone number after I called her, against my wishes.) What is a way I can respectfully tell her to stop messaging me? I don't want to be contacted about work on my time off and I don't want to take it to our boss if I don't have to. Thank you in advance. Edit: changed a few words
So I’m in the very fortunate position of not needing to work. But sometimes I feel like I should do something. Especially when I meet girls and they ask me what I do. I just tell them I’m an investor (which I am. But who isn’t these days?) I enjoy my free time and don’t want to be bossed around doing stupid stuff. I’ve been applying to jobs online and getting no responses. Should I keep trying to find something or naaaahhhh?
Howdy folks. My company is planning a trip for all employees where all expenses will be reimbursed (airfare, food, gas, rental car, airport parking) but also there are expenses that are not transparent to employees (hotel, wine tasting, food, etc). But they don’t provide health benefits. Just by adding up the expenses I know, there is no issue with them spending over $1000 for employees and their significant other. A friend of mine also brought up the fact that the costs that are not transparent could be going to friends of the CEO who run businesses that provide those good or services so they can write those off on their taxes as business expenses. What makes all of this worse is that the company I work for does HR Research and brands themselves as the company to use to create an employee experience that job-seekers can’t resist. The CEO and…
I have noticed a trend in the recent past a LOT more discussion about companies removing remote/WFH work plans and having employees returning to work. I know many people attribute this to appear like a manager is necessary or maintain property values; and while these may be driving factors I don't think they're necessarily the actual reason seeing how we're now basically 2 years removed from people packed up they're computers to work from the dining room table. Lately as Anti-work and work reform have gained traction the corporate noise about returning to office has only gotten louder. Middle managers have still “proven” their worth to their bosses if they still have a job 2 years later – but we're seeing the push now coming from the VERY top not the middle. This is usually where one makes the argument about property values but honestly they only care about the…
