I put in my resignation a few weeks ago, after my boss told me it was ok for me to leave. I was supposed to give a two months notice but instead I'm giving 1 month and 1 week notice, as per my boss approval. Now my company is going to keep three weeks of salary + taxes, as per contract. Nothing I could do to reach a different agreement. I tried everything, I know my money is lost. I feel bitter and angry and a fool for putting all my trust in my manager and my company. Has any of you experienced anything similar?
Make sure you make the right decision for a whole year where you have no idea what will happen cause you can only change it once a year. What a fucking bullshit system.. it's so dog shit
Fought back and saved my WFH
Have been working from home for last 2.5 yrs, Manager texted me asking to relocate (2500km from hometown) as it's not working out for her and targets not being met after multiple warnings. My reply in one sentence was “It won't make any difference in my performance so I can't relocate.” Later in the day she called on MS teams saying how shamelessly I said it won't make any difference. They've been trying to blackmail me for long time using WFH as a bargain for meeting targets. I've cleared the clouds now and won the WFH indefinitely.
i quit my job after a year
So i began working there as a warehouse employee and after a month i wanted to quit. But somehow i got into transport of materials to the line and i was really good and interesting. The last 3 months I worked as a “spider”. I fell in love with the job, basicly making sure that the line has enough material, ordering materials and making changes to a diffrent tipe of a machine, and the other little stuff. But i really loved it. So last week they moved me to a diffrent sector (baverage) and on the first day i hated it. No one there is nice, everyone is strange and I don't want to work with this people. I tried my best to get back there but they don't want me back. My boss even said he made a standard who is staying and i don't fit there. But the…
Work just stole my days off
I get three days off a week which I loved. These precious three days just got stolen by my boss. My boss said they gave me some extra hours on one day, the next day I'm on call so not really a day off to be real, and the next day I have to train for 6 hours at another facility. I want to be honest and say something like: “I didn't ask for extra hours. I was fine with where I was at. Also I need an actual day off next week. Not one where I am expected to be on call. I just do to recharge. Some people will take on more and more hours and be okay. I however know my own limit. I know that I cannot do more than 40 hours a week or else I will burn out from the stress. Thank you” But…
EVGA, NVIDIA and the Workers in Limbo
Hello all, here is something I thought would be something to talk about in terms of a Worker Co Op and how, a CEO and Board, just up and said, F it, and that their workers are finding out about it hours before this video that EVGA is no longer making Video Cards, which is the majority of their revenue stream. The timestamp is in the middle about the workers, but I feel strongly that the whole video should be watched if possible. Directly @ EVGA I feel EVGA is trying to do right. Counterpoint. Fuck hierarchy CEO bullshit wage theft. Your decision making is costing peoples livelihoods because NVIDIA is too difficult. Boohoo. Maybe you should have asked all your workers what they wanted to do first. Anything to do to make a buck? Disgusting. Turn your company into a worker co op, but I suppose its too late…
I'm a late 20s male currently losing my resolve in the world of retail, and more or less on the verge of breakdown. My body is crumbling within the cogs of the corporate machine and my spirit is wavering. If it is not the hostile customers, it is the older fellow staff members making my life difficult. I've recently been letting my hair grow out longer than usual, and either by coincidence or direct cause this has brought in myriad comments about my appearance. At first I didn't care too much, however the constant barrage has slowly worn me down. One team member has resorted to constantly calling me 'princess' or 'pretty boy', on occasion yelling it from afar within the store. Again, I have been tolerating this as a bit of banter, or at worst a backhanded compliment. Until more recently this team member used a very borderline homophobic…
It’s an “integrity thing”. (my b repost)
It’s a semiformal restaurant for gated community member’s. I was hired as host and on my first night they had me running food, no big deal but they asked me if I liked running food and if I was hired for that role. I said no and that I’m looking forward to hosting as well. First thing second day the GM calls me to the back to say she’s already got complaints about me and that I didn’t want to run food. Gave me bad anxiety for the rest of the night and now I don’t feel comfortable talking to my coworkers. Also I was told I had to “earn” my nick name. Eww that rubbed me the wrong way
