I've found this to be mostly true. If I like a job I've started looking up current market rate for my job and go to my boss and say "I should be making $XXX. Let's talk about a raise". I'm about 50/50 success doing that. If I don't get a raise (or big enough raise), I find a new job. At least they can't say it's a surprise when I tell them I'm quitting because they don't pay me enough.

Correlation not causation. It could be that those who leave go because they have better opportunities, or they're more capable. It's perfectly possible for companies to reward their employees for loyalty, and for people who switch to be paid more on average. Be critical thinkers about the way your employer treats you, yes. AND, be critical thinkers about this type of half-assed study posting.

1point

Anyone who has had a sub-part boss and manager has probably realized just how much someone’s delusions can (and will) cause headaches for the folks actually trying to get work done at the end of the day. Rules, regulations and unrealistic expectations can all come together to very literally harm how a company operates. So this begs the question, why are the people at the top sometimes useless?

Canadian educator Laurence J. Peter had a theory that this is, unfortunately, somewhat inevitable. In short, people are, justifiably, promoted based on results and seniority. However, it doesn’t take an expert to see how the skills of, say, a good salesperson won’t necessarily translate to management.

I used to open our offices at seven in the morning, but would actually get there to begin at about twenty to seven. I had a new manager who rather aggressively questioned my time keeping (much to my annoyance) I told him in no uncertain terms that each morning I came in twenty to thirty minutes early as attested to by other staff. Also I had never missed an opening for over twelve years. And most importantly if he wasn't such a Pr@t he would realise that it could all be checked by the alarm system that had to be unset each morning. I walked away rather than give him the slap he so richly deserved.

1point

Sarah Belt 10 months ago

My small business/single owner employer let us write our own time cards (we used 15 minute increments) and set our own breaks. No policing, no limits on breaks other than the floor needed to be staffed at all times. As the manager, I once tattled on an employee that was trying to claim O/T for times before the doors were unlocked. He believed the trash would see itself out, and it invariably did. I loved being treated like an adult. The culture from above sets the tone for the entire workplace.

If you’ve watched the Office, you’ll recognize this principle immediately. Another key point is that once a person reaches the "ceiling" of their competence, they no longer generate the results needed to move on to the next level. This means the least effective folks sit and stagnate in sometimes important positions for years.

Of course, an important point is that these managers often don’t quite know that they are incompetent. Sometimes they are so removed from the reality of the work that they come up with, frankly, hairbrained schemes and ideas that the employees have to suffer through. Indeed, one of the rare ways change might happen is when a lot of workers decide that, ultimately, enough is enough.

I always enjoyed ignoring the video calls of an employee who bullied me from day one. She ALWAYS told her coworkers what to do and when she needed something from them. Day f*cking One I saw I had to set a precedent. Her ridiculous antics got worse as she made a simple task unnecessarily difficult and kept demanding I meet with her when she was ready. I kept requesting she give me a heads up so I can make sure my schedule is open. It was ALWAYS open, but I never told her until she f*cking budged a smidge of "respect" for my time. B*tch had been praised for YEARS and I realized it was because people were terrified of her. She always video called without notice, and, because of Day One bullying, I ignored those until I felt like answering. She took a job in another state within months. Not bc of me, but it felt good when she bailed, so she could start her bullying over again with new victims.

This weekend we are doing a production release. Our 4th weekend in a row. We have rotated which engineer has been there, but our quality analyst has been the same guy each time. He doesn't work for me, but I told my superiors we were holding off until Monday morning, because I wasn't about to ask this dude to give up one more weekend. Luckily he's in India, so his monday morning is hours before any of our customers will log in, so I was able to get that approved. I don't want that guy to quit, or for his wife to make him quit.

Who texts their boss and doesn't have their bosses number saved in their phone contacts list? In other words, how do mis-text your boss with the wrong number?

I did pretty much the same thing years ago. I used to have a phone number 1 digit off of a local restaurants and would get constant calls for the restaurant. Normally people were calling to ask hours, or to make a reservation. After a bunch of times of telling people they called they wrong number, I just started out giving out bad information or taking fake reservations. Well, one night a woman called and asked "Is this such and such restaurant?" Yes, how can I help you? Well, she was calling in for her daughter because she just had to have her childhood pet down and was really upset. I just told her "ok, no problem" and hung up. I felt terrible so I called her back a couple minutes later "Did you just call for your daughter? Who were you trying to call? This is such and such pizza, I just checked the schedule and we don't have anyone working here with that name. You were trying to call the restaurant? Oh... We get wrong numbers for them all the time. You were off by one digit."

At least you called back and did the right thing. I feel that redeems you. Sometimes people have phone anxiety and just blurt stupid things out that they regret later. I can only see doing this after they call more than once and you already told them "wrong number" but would not mess with anyone's job because those jobs suck anyway and you WILL get fired for one no call no show no matter the reason

Kathrin Pukowsky 10 months ago

There are many situations in which a phone call is preferable. I don't like talking on the phone. I don't like answering calls. But I do it when I need to, and more often than not, I was able to solve issues my colleagues have been pushing around their desks for months with a simple phone call. Even when I need to send written confirmation afterwards, like hiring a contractor, if I've talked to them first, me and my project are already on their mind. Emails can be overlooked, but I get a direct connection from a person's ear to their brain.

When you are talking directly a person, a lot more is conveyed then what would normally be conveyed in text. Each form of communication is from in person to "text" leaves out more and more of the conversation.

I can’t eat gluten without getting sick, so there would be no compensation for me right from the get-go. Even if they tried to get gluten free pizza, believe me, that s**t is no compensation either. I developed this sensitivity late in life, so I know what good pizza tastes like. Gluten free pizza is the diametric opposite of good pizza. That would be more punishment than compensation.
