I'm worried about that gap growing and narrowing my chances because of absurd "rules"and "standards of HR. You also could have been taking care of a sick family member.

NoWake posted:Started at a company working salary coming up on two years ago. Employment contract has no definite hours listed, just a motto to follow saying "we do whatever it takes". I averaged 48 hours/week in '23, and in two years earned a single sub-$2k bonus. I'm mostly doing back-office work, setting up projects and running budgets, occasionally on-site project management. Ownership has me clocking in on an app that tracks my location. I'm typically working from home. Just another vote for get the gently caress out. If you think there's a chance of getting a referral later, or getting paid while being told not to work, put in two weeks' notice, but if you think the bridge is burned regardless, just call them the day you want to leave and tell them you're not coming in. What country are you in, and are they not letting you take any time off at all, or is it just this one particular time they're upset about?

NoWake posted:It's becoming clear, I'm in the US so leaving is likely the only course of action if I don't like it. The pushback I'm seeing is in direct response to me getting a backbone and trying to carve out a life outside of work hours. None of my peers really do, and I'm not trying to fill in their 2x divorced and heart-diseased footsteps. It's a family business and they pay a lot of lip to having a work-life balance, until the rubber hits the road and it's "No! Not like that". I understand when things are an emergency and we need to respond for our clients, but it's back-office stuff that can be taken care of whenever, wherever. Right now it's starting to look like they're building toward constructive dismissal. It's a small industry, but I'm betting I'll find a new spot that will take my skillset. What is their paid time off policy? How many days a year do you get? Under what conditions are you allowed to take it?

Kaiser Schnitzel posted:What's the deal with fraud protection on debit vs credit cards? With more businesses charging a fee for credit cards, I've been thinking of using my debit card more but I remember reading somewhere that they generally have less fraud protection if your card is lost/stolen or your card info is stolen. Aside from potentially missing out on CC rewards/cashback, are there any other reasons not to use a debit card? Ostensibly, there is about as much fraud protection with a debit card as there is with a credit card. The fundamental difference is that if there's an issue with your credit card, it's an issue with the credit card company's money; if there's an issue with your debit card, there's an issue with your money. The smart way to do it is to have at least two credit cards, so if you have fraud on one that's taking some time to deal with, you've got your backup. I don't even have a debit card, I just have an ATM card, and ATMs and my rare WinCo trips are pretty much the only places I use it. Use a credit card for everything.

Space Fish posted:Debit card bonuses would be more of a thing except Congress slashed how much issuers can charge for debit transactions, which means no budget for making debit use sexy. I have also noticed stores/restaurants adding an upcharge for credit and debit alike, even if debit should result in a much lower merchant fee.
