In an update for the long post I made about my wife quitting and thus screwing over a company after they mistreated her, they offered to double her salary while taking away some responsibilities and halfing how much she has to work. She still said no.

Well this morning she told our oldest she was going to be spending more time at home and they would hang out more and she got super happy and started hugging her so yeah probably not going back regardless. She is really really burnt up and rightfully so about getting berated for not bringing up her cancer story during the investment pitch because it was clear to her then what they thought of her

Scientastic posted:Aaaaaaaaaaaaaargh, this is the worst. We are making record profits, but morale is really low, and leadership keep having meetings to find out why. I felt like everyone else in the meeting was insane, they kept going on about time management and task prioritisation, and they looked at me like I’d just shat on the table when I said “backfill all the vacant roles” When this happens, it's a sign they don't WANT to fix the problem. You said it yourself: the company is making record profits. But they need to go through the motions (and document it) to minimize blowback when the chickens come home to roost. And potentially to not feel like monsters. You basically pointed out that the emperor is naked in a room full of invisible clothing salespeople.

Josh Funk covered this one and looked up her salary history. She actually got a bunch of raises over the pandemic, too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7kE_14tWdMI It’s nice that people/news outlets are starting to point out the hypocrisy of people with plenty of money (food, housing, and medical security) berating employees for being concerned about money.

All this talk about e-stops made me remember the water based ride I worked at Disney World where if you ran a magnet along the door sensor on one of the two cast member entrances, it would trip an e-stop alert in the tower, and if someone did the magnet trick while that e-stop button was pushed the entire building would lose power for some reason, meaning a full evacuation and maintenance crawlthrough, most likely shutting it down for the day and severely loving up the Metrics. It was a tightly guarded secret passed down from one overworked wage slave to another, only to be used in the direst of situations because it would mean a heavy managerial presence over the next weeks.

The Husband's company is having the ISO audit this week. In a fun twist, they had the external audit at the beginning of the week. The internal audit happens at the end. I love that they'll find out if they're still certified before they hear what they are doing wrong. That just feels so...engineery.

In continuing the saga of my wife quitting after getting yelled at for not talking about her cancer at a meeting with investors, head of billing just left as well. Several other executives are talking about leaving and the CEO has left multiple messages begging my wife to meet with her and even offered to fly her down to Miami to meet

I'm sure they understand if she's feeling a little fragile right now and could they please also bring her spouse for emotional support? Take the free holiday and run up a tab on the company dime. And then tell them to gently caress off.

Have your wife sit down and think about what absurd level of money it would take to get her to go back 10x pay, 20x pay, whatever. Then double it as an initial offer so that she can back off a bit to seem reasonable, or don’t. Worst case you get a free trip to Miami. Best case your wife delays her future plans for 6 months to make bank and then bails when the company falls apart then. So don’t accept stock options or any deferred stuff. Straight up salary money should be the core.

Then double it as an initial offer so that she can back off a bit to seem reasonable, or don’t. It's also a good opportunity to not only bend them over the barrel for title and compensation, but also make it extremely clear that her hours per week are limited. You mentioned she wants to spend more time with your kid? Great, have her do that. If they're in bad enough panic mode you might be able to get her working half the hours of the job she's looking at now for similar or greater pay, plus a good title to springboard to future stuff when the kid is older and needs less focus and care. Or not.

LinkedIn has gotten so FaceBook-y that I'm giving it the FaceBook treatment: I still have a page as a basic landing pad if people are looking for me, but gently caress browsing it and double gently caress posting anything. There's a whole conversation to be had about whether it's good, bad, or indifferent that people feel comfortable to share stuff like mental health struggles with coworkers, how career spaces should be less formal and less gate-keepy, etc. But the reality of the matter is that you're putting that poo poo out there for your coworkers, your current boss, and your future bosses to see which just means you're giving potentially lovely people in positions of power over you ammo to use against you.

MarxCarl posted:Make the CEO come to you to beg. Then tell them to gently caress off. This is cathartic and all, but if they truly have the company realizing they hosed up big it could be a unique opportunity to get a really sweet deal, in writing, that remedies a lot of the old problems. I'm not saying they should, and if the bosses are toxic enough no amount of compensation or low weekly hours can make it worth while, but it's always worth sitting down and thinking about what, exactly, it would take for you to work with a company. edit: and again, it's not all compensation. Schedule, title, and responsibilities are huge. Having a company backed into a corner like this is how you can get a really nice resume bump that can lead to better things in the future, even an entire new career pathway.

Yeah I never understood seeing people posting on it like it was social media. Why the gently caress do you think anyone wants to read your blog post that relates to work!?  I log onto it to update my resume, maybe press a few easy connect with people buttons then log off until the next time I'm job hunting. Honestly I might just let it rot, it's never helped me one iota in my career..
