My country is considering to raise the minimum wage to a whooping 12€/h. After some quick maths I figured out that makes 480€ a week. So with an average rent you work a week per month just to afford housing. A quarter of your work goes into your landlords pocket, over a quarter of your life is wasted enriching property holders. And our “social democrat/green” government celebrates this ridiculously low rise as a victory. No matter what party is in power, we are ruled by the Kapital
Hey Crew, I work Retail for a Running Specialty Store in a major US city, and after several years without a formal review we finally have pushed management to take the time to schedule an actual evaluation/review with all employees individually as a chance to discuss our employment. I am looking to make the absolute most of this rare opportunity to negotiate better pay and accommodation for myself and my coworkers and am hoping the Reddit hivemind can help me out a little with some advice! Some things to know: In my city, the minimum wage is set at 15 dollars an hour. We make 15 dollars an hour with no promotion structure in place or annual pay raise. The company has been hemorrhaging long-time employees. Many multi year employees have been quitting out of frustration with upper management due to low pay and an increasingly poor quality of live…
I feel like I’m walking on thin ice while employed, I still want to leave off on a decent note so I can use them as a reference? Should I put in my two weeks tonight?
I was more than accommodating when I requested time off as I asked TWO MONTHS in advance. I understand that this is my first mistake because I should’ve [needed] the time off. Today I got a slap in the face when I looked at the schedule and they completely ignored all the days I requested off. The second slap in the face is when I emailed the supposed person in charge of scheduling who then proceeded to send me a cut and pasted reply, conveniently when the schedule is posted, which went (kinda) like this: “Dear [you absolutely dogshit employee] Please request off in the system. If the schedule is already posted then please find someone to cover your shift.” Of course that message is a little bit biased but then again I am very pissed that they completely ignored me and ABSOLUTELY brushed me aside. On a completely unrelated…
Hey everyone. I'm in an interesting situation with my employer, a private university. I posted last week explaining that the majority of my team had been fired on the spot. I've since learned that the external firm brought in to replace them doesn't employ a designer or developer, giving myself and my remaining coworker a bit of leverage. We're now being told to return to the office for a few days a week after being fully remote for the last two years. I've already voiced my opinion that without an internal team to reunite with, there's little to no reason for us to be on campus. I have an upcoming meeting in which I'm considering giving an ultimatum (let me remain fully remote or fire me) and I want to know what kind of repercussions I could be looking at it if I go through with it. I've read on…
Hello All, I'm asking for a raise in my job that is currently denying me insurance and fulltime status. I'm fighting for full time status and trying to get our finance committee (made up of boomers) that what I'm being paid isn't sustainable income. After taxes and healthcare costs, I make 12.31 an hour. This is with a master degree in the field that I'm working in. I'm 5 hours away from fulltime status. When I requested a raise previously to afford health care, I was told to work more. Anyway, drafting a petty letter. Please give me your best credible sources for this
Just because I took a couple leaves at the start of the month. Is this shit even legal?
E.g Employer wasted your time there should be compliant file and compensation. Employer cancels the interview on your scheduled interview. Employer mistreatment towards neurodiversity with people that don't have social skills but can do the job.
Not sure if this is really the place for this but, does anyone know jobs that are great for staying at home and don’t require as much commitment? I struggle a lot with getting out and having the energy to function. I’m hoping something I can do at home, semi in my control will help me a lot. I’m 18 rn and live with my mom and she’s been pushing for me to try and get some kind of work bc we are struggling a lot to afford basic needs. My mom and I both struggle a lot with our ADHD so she hasn’t had consistent work much either. Anything online that you know doesn’t require much work experience would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. My last job was food service and I had to quit because of how awful that shit made me feel. Also note: my mom has…
