Do you think history is going to repeat itself?

Not in the French revolution kind of way, though. More like how America got out of the great depression: WW2. I mean, that Ukraine Vs Russia conflict is looking real promising. Maybe war will be the way out of this shitty economic situation, again. For the second time now.

The hardest thing to do…

Silent quit is not as easy as people believe, silent quit means to switch your mind from “I can work hard as I love my job or wants to get promoted” to “will work what I'm paid for or i don't care if promoted or not” People who is used to work harder will find way harder to stop working at this speed, and of course companies will notice when the guy/girl who used to do the work of 3 suddenly is just doing what they were hired to do and nothing more. But the benefits are impressive, when you manage to switch your mind the stress will go down, also you won't care if the company is going down as long as you get your paycheck, and you will be able to negotiate more in case they ask you to do more work again. Worst case scenario: “you won't…

Anyone else hate this as much as I do?

I HATE that your immediate boss and your boss's boss think it's okay to treat you poorly. Are assholes to you. Treat you like you're dumb or lazy. Treat you like kids even though you're a grown adult. Cuss at you. Are smartasses. Raise their voice to you. Embarrass you in front of your coworkers. Pretty much disrespect you in any kind of way. But the moment you treat your boss how they treat you, you're immediately fired, get a write-up or get sent home. WTF?!?! Thankfully not every boss is a bad boss. Wished there were more good bosses than bad ones.

If everyone is broke, how are non-essential businesses making record profits?

Speak with you wallets. They know you're not completely broke, because we keep buying their stuff. Wages aren't going to go up until employers really feel people have no discretionary income left to spend on their goods and services. Stop. Buying. Stuff you don't need.

“Company can’t afford it”

I work in a company in Europe. I get paid 1.000/month. CFO gets paid 10 million/year. I asked my manager for a raise. He said that at this point with the war and recession “the company can't afford it”. That's it. I just wanted to share it.

Should this response from an HR manager bother me regarding a request for a cost code for a mandatory company meeting?

For the meeting, we encourage people to charge to their project especially since everyone tends to work more that 40 hours on the project. If that doesn’t work for your particular situation, you can charge to training at 2336. For parking, you can charge to: Company 01 Dept 11 GL Account 11.01.7000

They say I’m inefficient but they micromanage me

I'm managing a project which is overseen by two “higher ups”, who form a committee, which I basically serve. This project has suffered many delays, some due to covid, some due to the nature of the activities in the project. They have accused me of not doing enough. The committee insists that they sign off on every document, email etc. before I do anything with it. The first guy is my direct manager and wants to see these things before I submit it to the committee officially. The second guy is actually quite chilled. The problem is, my manager demands that I add a huge amount of detail and then once I do, I submit it and the second guy says its too much detail. The process: generate document; send to manager; add the detail manager wants added; send to second guy; remove the detail manager wanted; perform a committee…

Might be losing my job but won’t know till today’s shift.

tl:dr provided below So I'm trying to calm myself down as I cannot afford to lose my job (who can?). I'm a seasonal employee but the company mentions how they'll be hiring after the season's over. Upon hire, I'm an at will employee till my 90 days and was given 3 days of unexcused time off. When calling out where required to inform our managers at least 2 hours prior to that shift. From my understanding and the brief discussion I had with one of my managers, an excused absence is when a doctor's note is provided with my callout. Having that information, anytime I called out it would be roughly 5-4 hours prior to my shift and when calling out I've provided the reason with not much personal information and anytime I've had a doctor's note I have attached a clear photo of it and even offered to send…
