Antiwork

Started a new job a little over a month ago and send fine at first. It's Even in a union shop that pays well. But this last week different bosses and coworkers have started with the “we are your family” bullshit and it's just turned me off this place so much. These people like to live at work, 10-12 days 7 days a week sometimes. I don't under stand it, is that not why you have decent skills so you can get a well paying job and not have to work 24/7?

So here's the deal. I used to work with an older guy in my company who makes quite a bit more than I do. He's about to retire and has moved to a different department. I've absorbed his responsibilities with no promotion. Earlier this year I had my annual review and received a raise. I told them I needed a better raise and they went from 4% to about 9% increase. That's all good. I've also been verbally promised a promotion at the beginning of the year following my next annual review. I've asked for a similar situation as the old assistant manager had (equivalent of 50hr week salary) but told them I don't need to be paid as high as he was yet since he had 20 years with the company. The thing is we have a new hire I'm training who is starting at a higher rate than…

Hello. I’m a manager at a company. I have about 10 direct reports and due to the nature of our work, it’s pretty easy to guesstimate workload accurately by month for employees for the entire year. What I mean is, since my reports all have 1 month of PTO annually, I budget for 11 months of work to get done in a 12 month cycle. I’ve been doing this for over a decade and it’s pretty accurate/consistent. We don’t have the Unlimited PTO policy. I’m just curious. If we were to go to Unlimited, how many months should I plan for?? If I plan for 10 months, but the employee wants to take off 3, we’ll be behind. If I plan for anything below 10 months, the numbers wont add up at budget time. I’m curious as to what other managers do for Unlimited. Thanks
