I'm so tired of this middle school bullshit. I don't even interact with this rear end in a top hat other than simple greetings and I'm done with that. I'm sorry he's a loving deadbeat dad, but maybe he should stop taking out his anger at his own shortcomings on his coworkers.

Have you tried not giving a flying gently caress about this head chef who doesn't affect your job at all? Seriously, EFN. Ignore his rear end. He's a bastard that has nothing to live for but being a miserable prick. So take his loving joy away and don't buy into his game. Ignore him so hard he cries alone in the walk in where his employees usually cry.

Cthulu Carl posted:The CEO picked Leonardo Yeah, the answer we've been getting is "We base our salary increases on the cost of labor and not the increased cost of goods and the labor cost inflation has been fairly low." Like eight months of every All-Hands Q&As asking about compensation changes and getting that answer and some variation of "We are listening" or "We are sensitive to the topic" and then when raises were handed out they were basically all raised by a single percentage point over the usual range. Most of us understand that the only way to get anything beyond that level of raise is to jump jobs or companies, but I don't think anyone was ready for how little they were willing to do in the face of high consumer inflation. It hit me a little less than other people because I moved up a step just as raises were rolling out and got the max allowable without having to have an executive level person approve the jump. I was apparently in the middle scale of what my pay band was and should have been, after four years, at the high end, so now I'm in the middle area of my new job title. If you need an idea of how much work I typically do in a day: I was going to respond to that when it was first asked and only just now had some downtime. Typically, I'm at my desk from 6AM to 5PM or beyond, with about eight to ten of those hours being actual work. I'm also doing something like three jobs at the moment and one of them is a crisis level priority, the other is treated like it's in crisis if responses aren't immediate and the third is kicking into high gear now that I'm organizing a process mapping event for next month. In truth, a lot of this is emailing things and responding to questions from either vendors or people further removed from our process, but in May alone I issued something like 200 purchase orders, which is more than what most buyers issue in a year if not multiple years. Thankfully, I work from home so I can take a couple minutes here and there to decompress away from other people and I get all my email and IMs on my work phone. I can go walk the dog while responding to IMs or whatever I need to do in order to get out of work mode for a few minutes a day. I went to the store yesterday to get some patio furniture and pick up a gift for my wife, but had to stop every five minutes to respond to urgent emails (and the trip was a complete waste because Lowes didn't have the chairs I needed and Wal-Mart didn't have Advance Wars). I can't complain too much because that kind of freedom is lacking in most office or shop floor level jobs entirely, so the fact that I can take some time to do other things that would have to be confined to weekends normally is something of a perk. Today's been an outlier in that I've gone multiple minutes without anyone trying to contact me, but every Friday before a holiday weekend is like this.

If you're "doing the work of three people" then your company thinks that is one person's job and will give you one person's salary for it.

I have tried to explain this to people I work with and they just don’t seem to get it. If a manager comes to you and asks you to do something beyond your job responsibilities and you just do it without question, that’s now become one of your job responsibilities. I have seen people take on more roles “to help out” and never get any additional compensation, and never have those roles moved back to another position, to think that it’s going to work out any differently for me.

In no particular order: 1. I get to focus on the parts of my job that I like doing. 2. 100% remote. 3. I'm compensated fairly. 4. I work way loving less than 40 hours a week.

BigHead posted:If you're "doing the work of three people" then your company thinks that is one person's job and will give you one person's salary for it. When I took the position it was stated that I would be pulling responsibilities from two other people so they could get back to their actual jobs and figuring out how to make the functions that were taking up almost all of their time into something manageable by someone working these things part time. It's a good fit for me because this type of purchasing was what I did for the first 3.5 years here, and I'm deeply familiar with our Compliance system from this past year of working the more traditional side of the business, which the things I'm being asked to do would have gotten people fired if anyone was paying attention. I didn't love being in the business-as-usual side of the company because, as I thought when people had previously tried to recruit me, there's almost no critical thinking involved. I've basically taken on more work and responsibilities to have the ability to fix a glaring issue in how the business runs. Completing projects like this is more or less the currency that you use to move your career around here, which is something I didn't care about for a long time but now I want to see how far I can get before I just hit a wall I can't climb. As a mediocre white man it'll probably be a while.

Reference Desk at an academic library. 90% of your time is just sitting at a computer doing whatever you want. You don't have to hide it, you're not slacking off, you are explicitly being paid for your availability. 8% of your time you're telling people where the bathroom is or helping them find where a book they already looked up actually is. 1% of your time you're helping people find sources for a paper, which is a pretty fun thing to do sometimes. 1% of the time you're listening to literal crazy people try to communicate whatever is going on in their mind. The need to sit at the computer and be available was amazing for my productivity at other things. I got a lot of my own research and writing done from there. The actual work was rare enough that it stayed fun when it came up. The work environment was pretty great. I'm sure if it was in a profit minded setting some busy body boss would be horrified at how much time I was idle and given me some busy work to do between questions. This was an academic library though, and the librarians didn't give a poo poo. Pay was absolute garbage for the education and skill level.

My girlfriend's company is letting her walk (to a job at a competing company) because they don't want to pay 1k for a certification that would allow them to charge their client more per hour for her services. But they approved it for her boss, and paid him, no less, for literally the exact same course. She had been with that company for three years and they want her to drop off her truck at a site two hours away from where we work, and she was leaving on good terms. HR are some of the most thunderingly idiotic goblins. A Festivus Miracle fucked around with this message at 23:00 on May 26, 2023 |
