Antiwork

Hello everyone, this event occurred today and I would like your honest and brutal answers. Background: I work for a corporation that recently acquired several fintech related companies in the past 5 years. I have been in my role for over 1 year, which is required tenured for internal mobility eligibility per company policy. The company in question is not affiliated nor a subsidiary, it is the same parent company and internal job site is the same for all employees. Incident: My apologies for the long story. I have worked closely with our internal mobility team earlier this year and continued to do so within our goal work for growth and career advancement. Last week, a opportunity presented itself in the hiring site for one of the companies’ subsidiaries for an entry level analyst position. I have constantly reinforced my goals to be aligned for promotion/internal mobility. So I have…

A little over two weeks ago, I was contacted about a job opportunity in the field I currently work in, but it would require a move. When I was asked about what my salary expectation was, I told the recruiter what my expectation was (my current salary) and that I would get back to them when I did some research on the area. I sent in an updated salary and thought every thing was good! They have me fill out an application and set up the interview. I go through the interview process and knock it out of the park! After waiting 11 days, they call and give me an offer. Not only is it less than what I wanted, it’s less than what I currently make. That tells me that they ignored my update and my application. There is no way I’m moving to a more expensive city for…

For the past two and a half years I’d been the Executive Director of a Chamber of Commerce. When I joined the organization was in dire straits. Bouncing checks, no consistent revenue, Board members checked out. If that wasn’t enough, two weeks after I started the state shut down due to Covid. That all being said, I was still committed to making it work, and I did. Two and a half years later we’re doing new events along with bringing back successful ones, Chamber is in a great place financially, member of engagement is up and number of members is way up. Things are good. Until August when I let the Board know I’d need to take some time off in February for paternity leave. Three weeks later without a meeting, a conversation or an email even raising a single concern and they fire me. When I asked if this…

I hear different things for people who work from home. I hear some jobs are so micromanaged that even if you need to use the bathroom they would want you to time it in and monitor your every move. On the opposite end I hear some jobs that are remote only care about results. They don't care if you watch TV or play video games as long as the work is turned in. How would I go about finding remote jobs like the latter? Also, are you constantly working a solid 8 hours at your job if you are remote?
