Amid China's struggles with excess manufacturing of various products, workers at a domestic auto plant are confronted with a tough decision regarding their employment....
That sounds crazy low, but I also wonder what the spending power is there? I mean, if you take $7/hr in the US and put that in San Francisco, you're gonna have a rough time, but lots of places that's uncomfortable but not starving, you know?
Just from context and reports about conditions of poor Chinese people, I imagine it's worse than our $7 in a rural area, but I don't feel like I can get a clear idea of what that means to a person living there beyond "that's really poor."
It entirely depends on the particular workplace and what is involved, but either way a decent manager should work with you.
"John, Sarah, and James have already asked for that time off, and we have to have someone in the shop. Would you be able to change to this time to this time?" And you never, ever, ever call someone in when they are on PTO. If you, as a manager, okayed it, it's on you if there's not enough coverage for whatever reason.
In fairness, I work in Search and Rescue, so operations like mine and other emergency-related workplaces can't just be like "Oh well, I guess we won't have coverage that day, Joe wanted to go hunting." If you work in an office and your work literal lives aren't depending on you and others being there, then managers should work around it as best they can.
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...
So I’ve read through this whole conversation between you and PseudoSpock, and at the beginning you definitely had some good points, but you’re coming across awfully entitled.
There are some people who really enjoy training and can quickly shift from their workload to training mode quickly (I’m one of those), and make it clear that you can always come to them when you want to learn something because they value training above just about everything else.
And then there are others (probably most) who have to me an effort to change gears, are trying to get through their own work, and don’t appreciate constant interruptions from people trying to get ad hoc training on their own schedule with complete disregard to the schedule of the person they’re getting training from.
It seems like you are assuming and forcing coworkers into the position of the former. And worse, when it’s pointed out to you that it’s problematic to a lot of people, you’re doubling down and saying other people are the problem instead of rethinking your own approach.

Every damn day ( programming.dev )
can you help me formulate an answer to a colleague who is not my boss but feels entitled to tell me how I have to work?
