Perry Mason Jar posted:I am constantly worried about getting fired yeah. But to be fair I put in the lowest amount of effort possible and almost never arrive on time. I've been here over three years and recently became the not-most-junior guy. I absolutely deserve to be fired but every time I think I'm going to get reamed for something that seems super serious everyone kind of shrugs and doesn't care at all? Everything is so stupid

I think Blizzard may finally be paying the piper on their policy of "we don't need to pay you at all well, we'll work you too death for pennies and you'll ask for now because we're Blizzard." When Diablo 4 sucks, it might be over for them as anything other than a steward for WoW.

inferis posted:people should talk about how much money they make more often, not talking about it helps corporations and no one else Seriously. It's loving weird (lol no, it's capitalism) how we've all learned that our salaries are private. I was recently negotiating for a new job, and the combination of my union giving me wage statistics and co-workers being willing to tell me their pay helped me set a much higher goal and in the end land a higher pay. If everyone knew each others pay, it would be way easier to see when you were getting screwed, and to demand more in negotiations. Guy who hates me for buying a house: I'm buying a house for my family, and because I can't/won't drive, I need it to be within biking distance of stuff. That is a popular thing, so it's expensive. I'm scared of unforeseen costs like undiscovered structural damage, and I hope to poo poo I don't need to divorce my wife anytime soon, because neither of us can afford it. It's the middle class dream, so pretty okay, but it's a fair bit down the line to the guillotine.

On the one hand I want to talk about my wage because gently caress the man On the other I've worked with enough people who got mad at me because "you make what I make and I've been here for years" like it's somehow my fault that the company didn't adjust wages across the board after they raised the starting rate that I just keep my mouth shut now

one of my cousins used to work at goldman sachs. I don't know what he did but he made such a stupid amount money that he was able to buy a house in the all rich white people part of New Jersey in his twenties and then his wife got laid off from her part time job she didn't look for another one. now he works for chase where he makes, i assume, an even more stupid amount of money

I've never received a poor performance review and I've been randomly fired out of the blue before. It was pretty awesome asking my boss' boss why they were letting me go and getting mumbly non-answers in increasingly agitated tones. The lady at the unemployment office when I filed for benefits kept saying "no one ever gets fired for no reason, what was the real reason??" A few days later she called me back and said "they really wouldn't give me an answer so we're approving your claim." It was the only time I didn't have to do the "appeal the first couple denials to actually get unemployment" dance. Still don't know what their deal was, but the awesome thing is I haven't ever felt secure at any job since. My point is enjoy the ride at all times because the earth beneath your feet will forsake you without warning.

Failed Imagineer posted:I tell people my wage and help them prepare for salary negotiations, and I've gotten the same info from others. It's part of not being a scab This is explicitly why I told people my wage as well. I know this is why the bosses didn't like it too. A couple of the managers mentioned this to me indirectly and I replied both times that the world would be a better place if everyone told everyone else what they made. Adjectivist Philosophy posted:I've never received a poor performance review and I've been randomly fired out of the blue before. I've talked to a great many people, managers and supervisors as well, who flat out didn't believe that people were ever fired "without cause." I even followed this up with the implications of the Right to Work law but they would still disbelieve or would retreat into a vague "well that just doesn't make sense" or "why would a business do that" defense. These people were intelligent, experienced professionals. They had gone to universities and received advanced degrees. They held positions of power and influence. bedpan has issued a correction as of 00:44 on Mar 20, 2021 |

As soon as her public service is up and her student loans are forgiven she's going to the private sector because "that's where the money is" Len has issued a correction as of 00:43 on Mar 20, 2021 |
