I found a job that had been open for six months at a factory. I googled the company, turns out the last guy who worked the position died while operating a lathe on some sketchy project that was totally unsafe.

    I had an employer literally announce at the X-mas party that they had done record business for the year, and not 15 minutes later tell everyone that for the first time there would be no X-mas bonus. Record business, no mulah for you.

    There are many people who experience anxiety and stress due to increasing layoffs and salaries that struggle to keep up with inflation. It is younger employees, mostly, who tend to feel this burden more than all.

    A recent survey by Cigna International Health of nearly 12,000 workers worldwide showed 91% of those between the ages of 18 and 24 reported feeling stressed, rising from an average of 84%.

    Had a bureau chief call one of my coworkers to try and figure out who left her the horrible review. My coworker kept asking why she thought it was someone in our specific office as coworker didn't think anyone in our office had even completed the survey in the first place, never mind the fact that the surveys were to be anonymous and there were over 100 people in the bureau. Coworker told me and another person about the call over lunch, I smiled and just replied, "well one of us had to be honest" - they were so proud of me! I have no idea if the bureau chief ever figured out it was me, but she did make some positive changes afterward ... I was told that upper management spoke to her about "some concerns that had been brought to their attention."

    My company didn't put the wages on the job description 10 years ago, just "competitive" and "negotiable". Yes, you are absolutely correct, they tried giving me the minimum wage despite how happy they were to have me. Their reasoning was "we don't want people to just look at the money". Thanks Mr Krabs, that makes sense...

    I wish this was true. It is truly an absurd proposition to post a job and not list at the very least a wage range, specially when they know is below market. It is as if Amazon allowed products to be listed without a price.

    As a millenial I have always refused to apply for jobs without a salary listed. "Competitive salary" or "salary dependent on experience" is just code for "competitively paying you a value below both you're actual worth as a human being and your experience/qualifications" - added points for "wE'rE lIkE a FaMiLy" which translates to "we'll treat you worse than your actual kin and expect you to put up with $h!t with a smile on your face"

    Millennial here, I completely agree. I think it should be mandatory to have wages, holiday and hours of work listed. I applied for a job once that looked perfect for me. When they called me about it I found out it was graveyard shift and I wanted days. I wouldn't have applied had that been listed. They wasted both of our time by not listing a tiny detail.

    As a supervisor who trains new employees, the onboard process should be erased and the stick leg should be broken. I work in a SUD outpatient; good training is necessary and often dumped on an overburdened middle manager because HR won’t properly onboard new employees. Sending me an email of their onboarding needs is not onboarding!!

    When I started the job I am in, my manager was out sick and left instructions for me to read some info on our office internal website. I expected that when he returned I would get actual training, maybe a manual, or desk aides, a checklist, .... or perhaps a sheet of paper with an instruction ...

    We may be stressed at work due to several reasons. Let us assume you have been given additional duties. Right now, you can be under pressure because you see this as an opportunity to impress your superiors. In fact, not being able to perform well might make you feel anxious.

    Other factors may include disputes with colleagues or supervisors, tight deadlines, and working late at night. Employees who suffer from stress often miss a lot of days away from their jobs, according to the National Health and Safety Commission.

    I had about 20 colleagues once, who all said how much they loved their jobs. Then we all bought shared lottery tickets when there was a big rollover amount. Next conversation for a week: "We shouldn't all retire at once and ruin the department, so what is seniority and age, so we can stagger our retirement dates in the fairest way?" That told me all I needed to know about how much they loved it.

    Being passionate about your job makes you more productive and involved in the office, but when dissatisfied, some will contribute little or even start thinking about changing careers.

    Engaged business teams produce positive outcomes within organizations, according to a recent Gallup report. Conversely, they calculated that poor engagement costs the world economy $8.9 trillion, or 9% of GDP worldwide.

    This is how Petsmart works, they rotate the worst managers who come in & change everything just to prove they can & it always screws everything up & pisses employees off.

    However, whenever you find yourself overwhelmed by your role, do not hesitate to have a word with your supervisor or manager about it. Talk to them about how you are feeling.

    If you are unsure of how to go about it, note that your organization also has an interest in creating a better work environment that promotes staff well-being. It is possible for organizations to encourage employee engagement through a positive office culture to curtail the cost of employees quitting their jobs.

    Last retail job I had, HR dragged us all in for a meeting (many of us were on our day off). The genius HR drone spent the first half of the meeting telling us all about how much profit the company had made, how much money it was saving on products with its new suppliers and so on. Then in the 2nd half of the meeting that same drone wailed to us about how badly the company was doing and how that meant there was no money for raises, bonuses, promotions or replacing staff that'd left. We all genuinely started booing, laughing at and insulting the drone for being so stupid as to put those two things into the same meeting.

    I've heard that if companies paid employees raises that kept up with rising profits, minimum wage would be somewhere between $20-25/hr. Like if you compared wages and profits to what they were in 1950, you'd see overall profits of American companies have risen much more than wages.

    I live in Supported Living. Whenever new staff join with such gusto and enthusiasm I say to them 'yeah? Welcome to *name of my building*'. The new staff take it as I'm welcoming them. The older staff know I'm not and I see through the BS show of management. Six months later those 'new' staff come up to me and say 'I know what you mean now'.

    I always hated that. Learn the sytem first and THEN offer suggestions. Also, I hated hearing "Well, because we've always done it that way", when I come up with a solution that would save an easy 30 minutes. I just did things my way and was usually ready to leave at LEAST an hour before everyone else.

    Furthermore, you could do something to keep track of behavior that makes you tense. Picture yourself as if you were part of a new group, and one colleague always ridicules whatever you say.

    When this happens, your morale may go down, and you may fail to perform optimally. You will get a clear understanding of your triggers and responses when you write down incidents that worry you.

    Every client I have ever sacrificed personal time for because "it's an important project" and "this will lead to more work," are either no longer clients or they themselves left the company they worked for. I have stopped sacrificing my personal time and sleep for these people. I had a client say to me last year the "whatever we have to do to get the job done," line. I responded with, "Well, this project has been horribly managed by your company resulting in an emergency put upon me, so if you want me to give up my weekend, it will cost you $5,000 up front." He stared at me on Zoom and I said "That's what you have to do to get the job done." Turns out it was fine to wait another week.

    It is also necessary to strike a balance between work and personal life. This means that one should switch off thoughts about their tasks after working hours. Continuously thinking about your deadlines or incomplete projects can wear you out.

    Studies reveal that just thinking about work can detract from your ability to recover from it. So, focus on activities you enjoy, like reading, running, or cooking, during your free time. Take baby steps if you are unable to stop completely. Try meditation and if nothing helps, you can always seek professional help.

    I relied on public transportation at one job. I had to leave at 3:00pm on the dot to not miss the first of 3 buses. The owner would constantly start asking me question at about 10 til, while I was putting everything away and shutting down my computer. I told him he could send me an email & I'd check it when I got home - in 2 hours. (Yeah, it sucked only having one car). He seemed confused by this EVERY SINGLE TIME.

    We shouldn’t underestimate the power of taking short breaks. Stepping aside from your workplace or assignments, even for a few moments, helps diminish mental exhaustion and even improve concentration levels.

    Another thing is that this enhances creativity. Micro-breaks could involve short walks during a lunch break, a quick chat with your colleague, or stretching exercises during sessions.

    This post really spoke to me, but not in a way you might think. You see, I recently had difficulty opening one of those types of medicine containers. I tried to persevere and continued to attempt the opening for nearly an hour, before finally passing it to my wife to try. She also did not want to 'give up', but eventually she asked a neighbour to help out. He managed to open it almost straight away. Then my wife left me for the neighbour. Now, most people might leave this situation with a feeling of having failed, but when I look at it I see nothing but positives. Not only did I successfully outsource a problem, I managed to remove the one thing that prevented me from focusing on my work 24/7. Life is about the lessons, and the grind!

    Train someone for an assistant manager position at a different store that does so many things we don't do that it's like another world over there and convince me this is not a waste of time. What assistant manager is going to do the peon c**p that I do every day?

    She wasn't crazy, she was a pill popping narcissist who got off on making one employee a year so miserable they'd quit (you can't get unemployment in Seattle if you quit, unless you file a harrassment suit against your employer - and win). I lasted 5 years before it was my turn. Bummer too. I loved the company, most of my coworkers and her husband, who was my direct boss. He made going to work fun.

    I sent the owner an email asking about Christmas bonuses around the 12th of December. He flipped the f*ck out, like I was asking when I'd get my bonus. I was like, "Calm the f*ck down, Jon. I'm your bookkeeper and I kind of need to know before I do the next check run". We all got bonuses and I quit a month later. Yeah, have fun figuring out how to do ANYTHING on your own. (I usually create a How To manual, written as simply as possible so pretty much anyone could follow it. One of my selling points for my services. I didn't bother with this a*****e).

    Seriously though, look for a new job. When companies hire terrible managers and then do nothing about them, it's a sign that your manager is just a symptom of bigger problems. Even if you outlast the current managers, chances are high that the company will replace them with people who are just as bad or worse.

    I just told my CEO in a one on one that the middle of the road employees who are doing their jobs well and meeting expectations (3 out of 5 on their reviews type of thing) need to get raises that keep up with the cost of living, at a minimum, or they will leave. Especially the younger ones. He agreed, but we'll see if anything happens.

    Yep and I've pointed it out to several business owners when they wanted it in the employee manual. Sure you can put in there, and then the employee can report you for unfair business practices - with the proof you've so conveniently provided. AND - I could point it out in the "Big Book", The Washington Employer's Guide

    I don't get this, every where I have ever worked, people are happy to share pay slips. A few times this year, a co worker said something Which prompted everyone to pull up their eslip and share. I don't think it's an American thing though, a while back here in the UK people discovered a lot of women payed less for the same job as men. I didn't get that either - why hadn't they realised before?

    yeah except you need a huge bucket of money to do (a), and (c). A decent flight to the EU from SA sets you back about $2000. If I had $2000 I'd buy a car. Item (B) you can do if you don't mind repeated rejection.

    Maybe I don't want to start a business. Maybe I don't want a "job" (you know what I mean when I say that). Maybe I want to be an actual productive member of society...

    Yeah my financial situation is something I am doing to myself, I should just pull myself up by my bootstraps 🙄

    Started the business. It cost me twelve grand and paid less than that.
