frogge posted:I still have job-PTSD or whatever you would call it from an annual review for a job I worked fresh out of college. Basically worked my rear end off and when review time came along my boss gave me 4/5stars on like everything because, "there's always room for improvement." Found out through the grapevine that she had done that to everyone in the department and with scores that low(!)- corporate HQ basically let her pocket most of the money set aside for our raises. So she's walking away with thousands of dollars more a year and we're getting maybe an extra $8 every week. Had something similar. We were rated to have 0.5%-5% raises, all based on performance. Some managers said 'gently caress we can't rate our team on this' so gave them all 5% My manager said 'gently caress I can rate my team on this' and rated us depending on how much buddies we were. His D&D roleplaying group that were in the team all got 5%. Everyone else 0.5%

Pro tip: work for an old hippie custodian who has the working class kind of class consciousness. He'll call you a tranny and use racial slurs daily, but he also has stories about the army and doesn't care if your 30 minute lunch is an hour and a half long every day for five years. The entire housekeeping team spent the last few days playing blackjack and watching movies. Plus all the custodians are super nice and there's monthly potlucks where an filipino grandma talks about how glad she is to see you. Plus they fire sex pests. Downsides: aforementioned angry old white guy, busy days are as terrible and grueling as every other housekeeping job, it's only for three months a year and you work with me.

Reviews are such garbage. I had a single review over two years at my last job but we were told it would be every 6 months. Anyway, because I took the job seriously and actually put effort into building/keeping rapport with clients and taking over some of the larger sites we ended up keeping a bunch of huge contracts that we were no longer the lowest bidder on. Review time comes and I get a solid 2 or 3 out of 5 because one time I spoke poorly about the company in front of a client - that is to say, I let the client know that particular branch had been grossly negligent in their responsibilities. I should have phone my supervisor/the manager/a boss nevermind it was out in the boonies at 1 am. gently caress reviews.

Honestly I like my job, and if I could do it for 10 hours a week, and maybe spend 10 hours a week picking turnips or fixing cars or whatever else breaks the routine for a while and spend the rest of my time relaxing and having fun I'd probably be in a much better place psychologically and so would basically everyone else on the planet. G'luck parecon people.

Every job I've ever worked at has only been for the money, and as far as I'm concerned, job satisfaction is a myth constantly swinging between "at least I don't have to live off unemployment benefit scraps" and "I want to burn this place to the ground"

I started working at Amazon mostly for money but also to get me out of an office chair job that was slowly killing me, but I ended up just turning this job into a gym membership where they pay me to show up. I'm either walking 17ish miles a day or lifting 15k+ lbs of poo poo in the form of boxes, depending on what role in the building I'm given on whatever day. Pay's poo poo (lol $15 an hour ain't nothing when you only get 18 to 28 hours a week anyway) and benefits are nonexistent obviously since it's a megacorp and thus gives no shits about anyone below C level, but my cardio is insane now so it's working out basically how I expected it to.

The same company later also fired an entire sister department to mine the day after Christmas so they'd show profits for that quarter by cutting labor costs, which was kinda the final nail in the coffin for me staying any longer than absolutely necessary. I guess they were really close to the line if saving 5 days of salary made the difference between profit and loss!

I had a brilliant idea. So you know how every time a major company announces huge job cuts the stock market gets a massive boner and the share price skyrockets? Even though it actually costs more to do that then not to? What if you just announced huge job cuts. Bring people into a meeting room. "Hello, you're fired, also you're hired, don't worry about it." Send them home for the day and have them come back as normal tomorrow. Hell, pay everyone a bonus to have the costs increase for a quarter like they do every time a company fires a lot of people. If shareholders ask why the costs have remained high next quarter just tell them you increased executive for doing such a good job firing people. Get high fives. Everyone wins. You could even pay yourself a modest non-exploitative bonus out of it. And your company will be in a better competitive position relative to others because you didn't actually fire people you need to be profitable like other dumbass CEOs. Get stock price jump for higher than expected earnings, announce another round of job cuts, repeat until communist utopia is achieved.

The museum where my wife works has a lot of people that have worked there for over 20 years, and had pay raises massively behind cost of living. Now a few of the more technically minded/experienced staff are retiring, they've had to put up the salary offers to attract new people, but haven't offered equivalent raises to existing staff. This has made the mostly boomers who work there start planning for strike action.
