I just had a job interview and was asked to come back tomorrow for a 2 hour work interview. I don’t think it’s paid, I’ve never heard of this before so thought it was odd. The interview itself was a little awkward as they seemed pretty uninterested. I’m debating should I even go?
All of my coworkers have left and they gave me a $2 raise. My branch manager also left. They are trying to have me do all kinds of stuff to keep the bank in good audit standing and keep customers happy. Today I wrote a letter and asked for a raise, they didnt even negotiate with me, sat me down and told me my letter was threatening and that I make enough. I'm so frustrated and I see why everyone is leaving. This morning they told me what a great job I'm doing and how proud they are of me, unfortunately compliments dont pay the bills.
I a chemist with 6-7 years of experience in the industry, and after 5 years with my current company I make only 55k a year. With my years of experience I should be considered as a Chemist II, but still only hold the Chemist I title. I took over the job of a Lead Chemist III when he quit but no pay raise or title increase. It has been 6 months since that has happened and I have been looking for a new job for longer. I am applying to jobs of my experience level and in my area the low end is 72k with a median of 80k. I've been asking for 70k and get ghosted whenever they ask what I desire for a wage. Am I overvaluing myself or is it just really that bad that no one is willing to pay more than entry level, even for…
Journalist ISO workers who have had to disclose health issues, despite ADA laws, to their job to ensure their own safety. Example: One worker shared that she had epilepsy and asked HR to send out a video of what to do if someone has a seizure at work (without disclosing she was on the one with epilepsy), they said no and she had a seizure at work and no one knew what to do. Another: One person left his previous job because he didn’t want to keep his insulin in the public fridge, but the company wouldn’t let him bring his own mini-fridge. Anyone with similar stories like this that would be interested in sharing for a https://worklife.news/ article? Can be anonymous if you are more comfortable! Thanks!
Hello all, Long time lurker first time poster, I just dont know how to feel. I hate the run of capitalism, I just finished my bachelors last winter I had a remote job that wouldn't let me move and now im at a crossroads. I am unsure if I should take a boot camp to aquire the skills needed to become a data analyst or a web developer, or try my hand at entrepenuring. I chose these because of my background accompanied by the wish to work from home. Are there any data scientists or coders out there that can help shed some light on the actual difficulty of your job?
I was working for a company, killing myself physically for nothing. My body made me stop and now I am worse off than before. I want to work but I have no idea who would hire me or be ok dealing with all the accommodations I need. I already have been “punished” for needing medical leave, been told my issues are a problem, been denied a promotion. I am working with every government agency that I can (vocational rehab for example) but I genuinely feel f'ed. I actually need a decent salary as I have mountains of medical bills to pay annually despite having extremely good insurance. Eventually, I will need to get shots for my spine in a series out of pocket that prevent further erosion. Like, I have no idea what to do. I physically can't pull it together. The last two days I have been stuck in…
I work in laundry at a nursing home. I have been there for 7 months, enjoying my job and working graveyard shift so I can basically just do laundry, run stuff to closets and listen to music. It was the first job I actually enjoyed and it didn’t stress me out going in everyday, I didn’t love it by any means cause I’d rather work on my tattoo portfolio (aspiring tattoo artist looking for apprenticeship) but it gets me money and gives me something to do. A few days ago I was yelled at for drawing during my downtime, which I admit I should just do that on my breaks, but with it being overnight shifts it’s usually pretty slow and I had nothing to do at the time because I was waiting for cycles to wash and dry. And people listen to music or watch videos all the time…
A year ago I was working for Company X (web development startup). At first I was very happy, everything was organized and going smoothly but as we started getting more projects I started having more responsibilities because apparently I was very good at what I was doing. So I started handling multiple projects at the same time and doing the work of 10 people. Design (UX/UI, logos, visuals, brochures, etc.), meetings with all our clients at night 7, 8, 9 PM even at 10 PM few times a week because our clients were based in USA so there was time difference, requirements gathering, project management, QA testing, and so on. I wasn't getting paid enough and I was working overtime some days. I used to start everyday from Monday to Friday 8-9 AM till night (if we had late night meetings) I saw a job vacancy ad on Linkedin at…
I found out Saturday night that my dad died in October. It's kind of thrown me for a loop. I had just started making calls at work, last week. I'd done it for one day, only to find out that the whole lead sheet was completely mismatched, which meant I would burn any lead I called. This was something my boss gave me, and was his responsibility to figure out. I only figured it out toward the end of the day, by looking into minor details and matching emails to names other than what was listed with them. Yesterday I came in, told my boss my dad died, said I was good to stay, but he said I should go home. Continued to insist I shouldn't be there after learning that. And I only had so much in me to push back. So I ended up going home. Today I…
