salaried while having an expectation that ends at 8:00 is inconsistent. If they do push back try to become salaried non-exempt and bill an hr every day when you check emails at 8.

CLAM DOWN posted:IT workers are exempt in BC too, from the regular labour laws. It's a constant point of contention here. The key isn't necessarily where you live, it's having the desire and self-respect to stand up for yourself and get a better job for a better company. my post was worded poorly. I wanted to convey that having a duty of work end at a specific time (whether after hours or hours) is more along the line of a non-exempt salary rather than exempt. It's certainly legal to have exempt salaried people on call 24/7 if in the original contract, but when you try to make that non 24/7 or add an expectation without renegotiation you're really opening yourself up.

Those types of contracts I only see for helldesks here. I did one to get my foot in the door but was very prepared to sue over the contract if I found something better prior to a year or the company went after me for other reasons.

SEKCobra posted:If I leave I'm having my new employer give me a signing bonus that covers anything I owe my current employer, problem solved. Hell, I even signed a non-compete that requires me to pay 1 months salary if I start work at an explicit IT company within 3 months of quitting. Not really worried about that. poo poo son I don't know where you're at but if there's a lot of turn and burn you could probably get a class action going if the company has ever attempted to collect on this.

I feel fine otherwise, and so I'm working from home. and is it still PTO or are you just remote? The former means gently caress off, even if normally on 24/7 call.

You can always say no if an offer comes and you can voice your concerns in the interview, preferably under the guise of questions. Entry level IT does occasionally import workers.

jaegerx posted:Computers and IT were niche until just around 15 Years ago. Girls and boys are growing up with more technology that millennials ever had. Eventually STEM will change and we’ll see more women in IT. Forcing it just to force it is stupid. They're more forced out right now. They have to excel compared to a dude to not get poo poo on in my experience.

It appears every young person on social media is shouting this 'from the roof tops' as old people say. Is this going to help? IT/tech in general is the current white boys club. See the lack of salary transparency in most firms and lack of organized labor. You mentioned border patrols.

I dislike my 1 on 1's. I'm told ticket statistics. That they're good, that I do work befitting of a title promo. Then denied promos/good raises because of ticket statistics. I lateraled into the wrong group, I'm still convinced the economy is going to implode though and this company pays well.

Vargatron posted:Ticket stats as measurables might seem like a good idea, but you have to take them within the context of the organization itself. Like ticket stats should drive company improvement, not used as the sole metric of an employee's performance. Right now, for the best statistics (which changed last week), I send and email and immediately close regardless of resolution with a note for the user to call me if instructions don't resolve. I'll miss any email response with our ticketing system, but it's the path to a promo.

siggy2021 posted:My boss does this thing where he just sits in my office, dicking around on his phone. It's very awkward and I can't stand it. And I don't mean for like 10 minutes, but upwards of an hour sometimes. I can even leave my office and he'll still be there when I come back. He doesn't really talk except to occasionally show me some dumb meme. It's mostly just sitting there. This usually occurs nearly daily after lunch, sometimes more than once a day. are you an attractive member of his preference?
