The upper managers made us sit through a lecture this week about how it's totally worth it to make sacrifices and work 80/hr weeks in order to become a super-manager who makes lots of money for the company. Sounded a lot like what you'd hear in a church/MLM scam and set off a lot of red flags for me. Also apparently in order to get a position in upper management, you need to participate in something called The Path and buy a lot of shares. If our office has some sort of alter in the basement, I haven't found it yet, but I wouldn't be surprised. Gosh, now I feel like one of those Lovecraftian characters who investigates secret worshipers of some ancient Deep One and goes mad or turns into a fish. This is bad juju goon, you might wanna bail on this bad boy

My guess is that "The Path" is some kind of management retreat scam thing, which probably does operate like an MLM. Regardless, 80 hour weeks are completely unacceptable, even if there's no management scam situation, run as far away as you possibly can from unpaid overtime being normalized, because that will never, ever get better.

I wouldn't quit a job just because of what Buttchonks is describing. I'd have got fired. The people that would inflict that don't strike me as the type with a sense of humour. |

One of the benefits to working for a massive soulless organization is you can pretty much just literally mind your own business and leave the corporate vision bs to the fine folk at HQ who need to come up with those things to justify their employment. It's useful to memorize some key words though, on the odd occasion when one of the suits visits and asks you how you're exemplifying *corpo catchphrase*. |

Edward Fingerhands posted:Same, but, some people will stay thinking it gets better. Yeah, I kinda hosed myself over so quitting isn't a great option right now. Fortunately for me I have no ambition or delusions and don't give a poo poo about this company, and my lowly arse isn't doing anywhere near that much overtime. The sad part is seeing all the people who spend so much time at work that their children call the cat 'Dad' trying desperately to convince themselves they made the right decision in life. I would feel sympathy, but then I remember that cult victims often help perpetuate the system. I just wish our timesheets weren't bound in human skin and printed in a dead language. |

Now now, they aren't all human hands, there are some monkey hands. For example, here in the appendix... oh no, that's just an actual appendix. |

The monkey hands should not be directly referenced, lest another finger curl and hr gets ideas about "team building exercises."

after a few weeks of 80 hour weeks you're effectively just drunk all the time. your brain isn't doing brain things normally anymore. you shouldn't be driving a car. human beings literally cannot do it. the people who "can" either aren't and are lying to you so you will, or are so hosed that they think they're doing ok, and they're not please don't. i used to work at a company that would post a list of divorces that had happened over the course of a project, you know, for fun. it's physically bad for you. it is harming your body

Sometimes I think I may have flamed out and sorta peaked in this industry already. It's like every place I work can't figure out motherfucking sales. I get it can be a tough nut to crack, but siccess in this industry is built on building relationships in the community. |

Work's switching over to a different retirement system and it makes no sense to use the old one unless you've got many years into it already so bye bye to the few years I had built up lol on the other hand, I should be getting a sweet check soon (of my own money, taxed again) just in time to really really really help with bills and rent |

work last night was kinda rough, had to change three different residents bed dressing and garments cause they are old people who have moved beyond the scope of our care but the whole industry is a gently caress so and then in the morning we got a call that the lady from care partners who comes to bath people had contracted covid, so i had to help a guy with his shower and i think he tried taking a dig at the fact that i was a man doing this sort of work, but then i told him about my other jobs and he started taking about mines and working underground, and i made him laugh a few times so i think he likes me. i've been working consistently with the lady i don't like but i am pretty sure i am winning her over. she seems like one of those people who when they meet someone new need to have that persons integrity proved, or something? i don't know. i can be charming when i have to be and my plan of "improve this situation by making her fond of me" seems to be working, slowly and steadily. the crazy thing is if i can get her to the point where she likes me as a human then there's a pretty good chance that my opinion of her will be revised and all the grumpiness will be forgiven. or she doubles down on being the mayor of bitch town, i dunno.

I had to show a very sick man around to pick out his own grave and it was very awkward The part that sucks even more is he's gotta take a loan out to buy it. |
