Earlier in the pandemic many news and magazine organizations would proudly write about how working from home always actually can lead to over working and being too “productive”. I am yet to collect some evidence on it but I think we remember a good amount about this....
for me at least, 8 hours any other time of the day is less bad than the constant awful grind of 9-5...
So, I just need to rant for a minute about what’s just happened. It’s made me feel fairly disposable as a worker. I work in I.T. support. I help people who can’t operate technology with highly complicated issues. I am highly skilled, well trained and I have a diverse set of understanding for technical issues....
i saw someone on twitter saying to “leverage your network” i’d sooner leverage a shotgun into my mouth jesus fucking christ...
Are the same petty mods running this show? If so, please ban me immediately. I don’t see how you can reconcile claiming to fight labor exploitation while at the same time giving away your labor for free to a billion dollar company.
Whole Maryland office is being “consolidated” with Austin. They offered to move us to Austin if we want. How fucking generous....
the colleague in question feels that only her way of doing things is the right one and expects me to adapt to her way of thinking and her logic. This is tiring and burdensome because I have to force me to stop doing things automatically and efficiently, but think how she wants it done and do it her way. I work worse when this...
I’ll try to keep this short and sweet....
I've observed if I say nothing (because I simply don't know how to react), opinionated people think you agree with them, which I don't. I don't care....

I'm a man and so far this has happened only with other men, but I'm genuinely baffled as to why some people do this. It has happened thrice so far in 3 different work settings:...

Yesterday I had an interview for a certain position. Last Monday it had been scheduled for one location but on Friday it got moved to another. At the last minute yesterday, apparently it had gotten switched to the original interview location, and I was not notified until I got to that second location and waited a few minutes. I...

And now, fast forward to 2023, they are laying me off, along with another 99 people....
It was majority employee-owned before the acquisition but is now majority owned by private equity firm. The main change I'm noticing is that everyone is being pressured to work uncompensated overtime (we're all on salary here) and requests for training/professional development have been all but eliminated. They also initially...
like the suggested medicare for all, but only on a state level
The theory that many people feel the work they do is pointless because their jobs are “bullshit” has been confirmed by a new study....

I’m a nurse working shifts and sometimes 5 days without a pause and I still don’t know if I’m gonna take one of the 2 9 to 5 jobs my hospital system has offered. I’d earn less money, but I’m already 45 years old and I don’t know if I should call it quits and settle for a regular job 5 days a week and free weekends...
Title says it all. How are you going to manage workers reform from the neolib trashy reddit clone taht is LW?
Got laid off in June and have been fortunate enough to be on gardening leave until the end of this month. The job search has not gone well so far and I started getting desperate....
I am so sick of employee engagement surveys and the resulting exercise in futility around soliciting changes that never get made. It’s honestly one of the more evil and deceitful processes that capitalism and academia have ever teamed up to create.
i worked as a manager for a cafe, me and my boss had a good relationship texting after hours, bonus’s. in lock down i was furloughed so i moved across to another city to live with my partner through lock down, my boss out-of-the-blue calls me in the evening telling me to go into work the next morning, something that wasn’t...
