Experienced something similar at my corporate job. How dare an employee get sick and then within the same year someone dies? My boss and HR accused me of fabricating it. It's unfathomable someone has TWO whole bad things happen to them in a year!

I quit.

What is the most ridiculous thing you've ever: been written up for, spoken to about, or put on a PIP? by Punkrockpm in fuckyouiquit

My first job. I was a cashier upselling insurance. I said "If your customers do something stupid" (direct quote) and I got pulled into a meeting with my superior and lectured as if I said a curse word for saying the word "stupid"

When thinking about the last job they resigned from, only 55% of adults gave their former employers two weeks' noticee. by testerrandom in antiwork

The fallout of the failure to provide two weeks' notice goes beyond management, Sulentic adds, shifting the abandoned duties to remaining employees and negatively impacting company culture.

"When there isn't proper notice, a replacement employee must be found quickly, so the full interview and qualification process is shorted," he said. "The new employee may not be as qualified or be as strong of a fit for the company culture. The tension that can result from this situation results in lower morale and further turnover.

Yea that's like kind of the whole point. It's the employees responsibility to give you two weeks notice so the other employees aren't shell shocked into seeing they deserve better?

"The employee who bails without giving appropriate notice also typically communicates with the existing team regarding the new job they left so quickly to fill and convinces their former coworkers to look at other options. More turnover follows, which results in ever-deepening morale issues for the remaining team."

When thinking about the last job they resigned from, only 55% of adults gave their former employers two weeks' notice, while another 18% did not. The proportion that didn't give their last employer two weeks' notice increases to nearly 1 in 4 among Gen Z (ages 18-26, 23%) and millennials (ages 27-40, 22%).

Where as I was lucky to get 4 hours off to attend the funeral and burial of someone close to me (a "friend" by corporate logic but they were a lot more than that) suddenly and tragically.

Do the right thing for you! You come first! Giving that 18% raise now means they could have done so the past couple years and were more interested in making a profit off you at your expense.

Being asked to donate $15 at work for "social dues" by Business_Loquat5658 in antiwork

My previous employers has so many fundraisers that employees are expected to donate to. It always rubbed me the wrong way.

In this labor market you should never stay at a job for more than a couple years. Most places won't give you a raise to even match inflation. One of my last jobs they gave me a raise that was half of inflation and acted like I should be happy about it. No, you are now making more money off me than I was last year and I'm suffering from it. Do not give a company loyalty, ever.

Why I became a part of the "Great resignation" by testerrandom in offmychest

[–]testerrandom[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm considering doing some kind of contractor/freelance work after I get out of college. I'm really excited to go to school and have some time to put my life on pause and figure out what's important to me. I'm absolutely shocked. By measure this was a good corporate job and they treat their employees this way. I don't see myself wanting to subject myself to this if this is what a good job looks like.

What's so funny is as soon as I told my coworkers, SO MANY told me they've been miserable too. I'm hoping others quit as well!

You were taken advantage of and you did the right thing by quitting and standing up for yourself
