Meanwhile in America, getting to retire at all is a problem.

The definition of low-skilled is tied to professional qualifications. Data entry is considered low-skill, Accountancy is not.

No, salary folks just like to micromanage you into oblivion.

Even the A.I.s know better than to work for sh*tty bosses and companies. Feeling hot under the collar yet, businesses?

Unless your name is James Corden.

Karens be like: "wAit yOuRe a wOMmaN yOu sHOuLdnT bE dOInG tHIs jOB yoU sHOuLd bE At hOmE dOInG thE wAshINg wHiLST yOUr huSBand'S wORkIng!"

What the fùck!?????

Too nice.

Could someone explain this to the people who want to cut programs that help people buy food

That is very well put.

"How can we squeeze you dry while giving you the least amount of money possible, while also keeping you here?"

Christ, you need a degree in computer science, no less than 10 certifications, and at least 12 years IT experience just to get a job for geek squad stocking hard drives and installing laptop ram. Sigh. So sick of this world.

It’s never problem solving pressure either. It’s ‘we refuse to acknowledge our own disorganisation and sh**ty culture’ kind of pressure. All I ask in my role, is to do my actual damn job as a forethought, not an afterthought…still waiting

Maybe we should get used to a smaller global economy? Don't we want to reduce the human population? That would solve environmental problems for sure.

I prefer to use a cashier because the self-checkouts tend to f*ck up all the time or ask for an age check on ridiculous items. I had my whole transaction stop and had to wait for staff to turn up and prove I'm over 18 and allow me to continue... for a f*cking Pritt Stick! I also like the personal interaction with a real person

I was hoping that if my last boss died that I would have some advance notice. You just can't buy dancing shoes off the rack these days.

Headless Roach, are you reading this?

If you are in a gray cube, you aren't seeing the outside world which is nicer and vibrant and full of possibilities. You are being conditioned that despair is normal, so you might as well get on with it.

In Norway we pay a fee of 60$ each semester. Social democracy works.

Sounds like an MLM or one of those "sales and marketing" scam jobs. The ones where you have to pay them to work and the only payment you receive is commission based on how much useless s**t you can sell.

Had a mental breakdown in November last year and my doctor put me on schedule 5 meds and booked me off till the following Monday. Told my boss. He lost it and would not stop calling and texting me while I literally couldnt talk or walk due to the strength of the meds I was on. Tried to talk to him about how it's not appropriate and address it with him. It then turned personal and became a witch hunt for my head.

Just say, "I don't care to discuss it with you. "

My boss when I was making 12$ an hour at as a first time employee, and I told my coworkers because I heard that the one that had worked there 5 years was making 10.25$. Safe to say she got the raise and I quit a month later

I've been at my job for 20+ years (a few more years to retirement). I'm what they consider the "dinosaur" in the office, as no one has been there longer than 5 years. At this point the new director, and supervisor don't even bother stopping me from expressing my opinions on this office, and how things get done (or not get done).

He does speak fluent sarcasm.

If you want your employees to be happy people, there are better ways than a sign.

I had covid in February. The day AFTER my positive test, my boss said I could come back to work as long as I didn't have a fever. Yea... not gonna go to work and spread that s**t, plus, even vaccinated, I felt like death beat me with his scythe. I still have issues with breathing and bad coughing fits walking to far or up and down stairs.

Um... Not sure if this is universal, but it's illegal in many countries to have a layoff and then recruit for those exact positions.

This description is missing something vital. In capitalism there is a party who provides the funding to create the business in the first place. This party also funds improvements and expansions. That is to say, they provide the capital that is essential for making the company operate. In return for these investments, they receive dividends or returns, usually 4 times a year, whenever the company makes a profit. So, in reality, without capitalists most businesses would not exist.

Last one sounds like the origin of countless competitor stories. If you’re ‘outshining’ the owner, you’re not gonna settle for an hourly. Seriously, what kind of a**hole runs this joint?

I just gotta say, this dude has a great smile. 😁

'Snack size'

Screw the pizza parties and the nap rooms and the pool tables and the free snacks and drinks. Pass us what we're worth, you would be able to afford it without all these 'extras'.

Paper applications are required from every applicant by federal law. Most employers find that having that filled out at the beginning is the most efficient.

Toxic

Gee, I wonder why they're severely understaffed...

Ride it to work with large speakers strapped to either side playing Ride Of The Valkyries while I blow a party blower nonstop and the elephant wears a shiny party hat.

The smart ones left. The two that stayed are in for more of the same treatment.

I'm a coloured (mixed race) South African 31 year old female. Although I didn't feel the pain of apartheid like my parents and grandparents did, the effects are still rife. Back then, we weren't white enough for good jobs. Now when I apply, I'm not black enough due to the "Black Economic Empowerment" (BEE) system which is trying to reverse the effects of apartheid financially, economically, career-wise. It doesn't work. We can't reverse it, but we can learn from it. I'm tired of feeling like I'm never good enough for the good things in my country. Bursaries require race, religion, and other ridiculous things. I am educated, determined, so willing, and I'm a single mother, but I feel like my country doesn't see me. They see black or white. Everything in between seems to be irrelevant. It hurts. I just want a good life for my daughter and I.

This sounds illegal

Okie dokey

I feel like this is one of those things that people think would be funny but it really isn't.

Amen!! Love this

Yes they do. They're the ones you are trying to force into joining the scheme despite their protests

Hahahahahahaha...Oh wait, you're serious... Hahahahahahaha.

Take this notice, and lay it on the managers desk with another, anonymous sign; "this is illegal. Withholding wages is illegal. The State Dept. of Labor has already been informed. I'm looking out for my Team."

Bye then 👋🏼
