Many of us are aware of the struggles of finding a new job. You're perpetually sprucing up your resume, constantly writing cover letters, going to countless interviews. Well, all these efforts seem worth it if you land your dream job. However, sometimes you end up with an offer that's so terrible that it makes you question a company’s respect for its workforce.

Today, Pandas, we've compiled a list that highlights some ridiculous compensation packages out there. From less than the bare minimum pay to no-holiday policies, these posts might leave you slightly infuriated. So, sit back and discover some job openings that you definitely don't want to apply to.

Yup. Top execs make hundreds of thousands (or even millions) of dollars in bonuses but we the worker bees are lucky if we get a 2% raise. It’s so discouraging.

    A 'Vacation Request' is a notification to the company that you will be on 'Vacation' and a 'Request' that those days are paid from your vacation allowance. They are not a 'Please can I have some days off'.

    I used to work for a giant retailer in the US and I once asked for a day off 3 months in advance (we only got our schedules 2 weeks in advance) and it was denied. The day off request was for an exam in college. I asked my manager why he declined it and he said "because someone else might also ask for it off."

    In my country, vacation is mandatory, for both employer and employee (working full-time). We have a right to have five weeks vacation every year, and at least three of them ought to be consecutive during the summer months. We can save one week to a later year if we want to. If we DON'T take out our vacation at all, and later become sick, we are seen as partly to blame.

    Millions of people in the US left the workforce during and after the Covid-19 pandemic due to exhaustion from work and they started to reconsider what they really wanted from their jobs. This made them seek better balance between their careers and personal lives, good pay, and more fulfilling careers.

    Our company had a written rule that essentially was a "emergency leave" rule for an employees personal trauma event, e.g. death of a direct family member. Two of our employees had parental deaths within a few weeks of each other. HR came to me and attempted to block the paid leave, saying they hadn't approved it first. Quoted them chapter and verse of global and local HR rules. They backed off, both guys got paid leave that did NOT come out of their vacation leave. Managers need to know the HR policies as well. No clue about Pepsi, but HR also tried to cut an employee of the above company loose undergoing chemo. That failed as well. It also was in violation of HR policies.

    Pepsi doesnt own any of the bottling companies, they are third party contractors. For example Pepsi-Cola Bottling Company of New York (where I live) is owned ZERO Precent by Pepsi. It is 100% Owned by the The Honickman Companies (https://www.hongrp.com/) a private company that owns several brands including the NY Classic brand Dr. Browns. This guy is upset at Pepsi bc a third party bottling company that Pepsi does not own, fired his father.

    My father worked for RCA for 25 years - his whole career. When he suddenly died leaving a wife and five children, the company put his pension in its pocket and told my mother "Sorry, mam, a person has to live to collect a pension." They passed a law later that prevented this - one of those "intrusive government red tape" laws businesses complain about.

    I sent an email to one company owner letting him know that I was increasing the rate for my services. He flipped out on me and told me how unprofessional I was in asking for a raise. I had to explain to him (yet again) that I was not his employee. Since I was self employed I was my Boss and he was my client. So, I'm not requesting a raise, I'm informing you that I am raising my rates - with 30 days warning, no less. But, if he felt my rates were unreasonable I could take my services elsewhere.

Factor in healthcare and the fact i can drop cars for public transport and my salary could halve and i would still be good. I can buy two nice houses in France for what mine is.

    Our HR department sent out a "compensation update" email, and included the "average base salary" with sections about bonuses, company cars, sales bonuses and awards. Average base pay was almost double what support staff with a decade of experience was being paid. Talk about a major disconnect. Edit: Support staff didn't have company cars, didn't get any part of sales bonuses even if they helped make or keep the deal and awards were a local manager taking them out for lunch or a beer.

    Had a similar situation some years ago. I was returning from a work-related meeting in another city, and I informed my manager that I'd be driving for the next 3 hours (therefore, the "very urgent" project tasks would have to wait.) She called me after 1 hour and asked anxiously "What's the status on our project?" After a moment of silence, I replied: "The status is that I'm still driving." :)))

    That sentiment still holds true today. A recent PwC survey that involved 56 thousand workers worldwide found that aspiration for job hopping has risen significantly.

    This should accompany every job posting. I mean, every time a job is posted, this should be presented to the poster to acknowledge. This should be preprinted on paper job applications, so it's in the face of those who peruse them prior to the interview process.

    Does 35k means yearly income? If I divide it into monthly income and convert it to our currency, it's almost 68k czk monthly... It's more than twice the money than my last paying job... And it was a secretary for a law company, not big, but not too small either... And last job offer I denied, because they offered 17k monthly... Like a 1/4 of money from that article... Our prices are comparable with the US, but not the salaries... I am thankful for our health system, because we don't have to get into huge debt just for an emergency doctor visit... Of course, there are better paying jobs, but you gotta know the right people to get them...

    That 35k does not include deductions for taxes, healthcare, etc. when you factor all o& that in, 35k ends up being more like 20k

    Do you not realise how short the supply of teachers is, and how much in demand we are? No one in the department of the college I work at takes any work, marking or planning home. Everyone flatly refused. If there isn't enough time in the work day to do our work, there's obviously too much work! No one's contract stipulated 12 or 14 hour days plus weekends. It's people doing those sort of hours that normalizes the practice. Your question to your line manager should be "I finish at 5, what DON'T you want me to do?"

    For one thing, feeling stagnant or trapped is one of the reasons why people leave their employment positions. When you keep doing the same tasks day in day out without any challenge at all, you may feel like your career is not moving forward.

I guess you could use pots and pans on fire but what use is pots and pans without stove ? I asked for clarification and you could tell they did not know what the terms were.

    With tech jobs, it’s often HR that puts in the number of years experience required. They base it off tables relating to the level of work the hiring manager says the job will be doing. The tables turn X level of skills into Y years of experience. Obviously, these tables should never be used in relation to specific technical skills, because tech moves so fast these days, but it’s what they know so it’s what they do.

    Pay rises vary across offices depending on many aspects such as inflation rate, geographical location, type of industry, and individual job performance. But there are times when workers feel dissatisfied with their paychecks.

    Some people work in companies that they hate simply because they need money. However, if you are unhappy with your job, chances are you might quit or look for better opportunities.

    A doctor did a similar thing. I'm M-66, New doc as my old one retired. Went for physical. Mind you I'm Type II Diabetic under control but am Hypoglycemic due to malabsorption. (I had gastric bypass) I also have seasonal asthma. I normally do a ton of bloodwork every 6 months to keep up on my vitamin levels, A1C and the general stuff for cholesterol, platelet counts etc... you get the drift. So doc orders me bloodwork. I go, get drained like the vampires they can be and wait. Now, I can see ALL of my appointments, procedures and TEST results on a thing called "MyChart" which is a great thing as all my docs can see what the others are doing. I look at my blood results and I got the general stuff, but noticed he tested me for: Heroin, Cocaine, Amphetamines etc. I was pissed as he never said anything about it, I never asked for it and all my docs can see this bull. All negative, of course. Gave him royal hell got a new doc too. I was so mad I went out and had like 5 shots of Jameson, a beer and a joint.

    A toxic job culture can push employees out the door. You may experience burnout if you feel you are working a lot without being fairly paid as an overtime worker. In some cases superiors can be rude to their juniors, disrespecting them and their contributions.

    When an employee feels devalued by their employer, they lose motivation for staying on the job.

    And for some reason, these same people are against universal healthcare. The American HC system is a convoluted mess of private insurance companies, HMOs, and healthcare networks. It's broken and inefficient. A single payer mandate would save BILLIONS. Not just for patients but for EVERYONE.

    Sorry mate, while I'm from Toronto, but this applies elsewhere - BS! Firstly, even if there are spaces at that price (there could be) they would be outliers. Even in Toronto there are cheaper places to park, along with an efficient cost effective transit system - like other major cities. Your problem sounds like an entitled one.

    I was in third grade and had switched schools, where unbeknownst to me, you had to get permission to use the restroom. I just got up to go and the teacher asked where I thought I was going, so I told her. She told me I would have to wait for recess (20 minutes) and I told HER that I had to pee right now and kept on going. She literally raced to the doorway to stop me. So I peed all over her (new) suede boots. She took me to the principal's office where I explained the problem. She's the one who got in trouble.

    Try to get your elected representatives to raise the minimum wage, and a chorus of big-business flunkies holler propaganda about $25 tacos and robotized restaurants. They conveniently ignore places that have raised the minimum wage and are doing well. When people work multiple jobs and still can't eat, that creates a hotbed for trouble and revolution.

    HA! We moved to Springfield, OR two years ago. A 2 bed/1 bath apartment was $2350. AND - it was a dump. Luckily we were staying at a wonderful little inn and had become good friends with the owners, who happened to be former realtors. She put us in touch with a realtor and a mortgage lender. It was cheaper for us to buy a 3 bed/ 2 bath condo than it was to rent. Insanity!

    While on a job search, if individuals come across poor compensation packages, they may not even apply for the position. Can you imagine working at a place that forces you to work even when you are very sick? It’s off-putting when companies do not care about the well-being of an employee.

    Fast forward to 2024 and they're forcing public schools to hang the 10 commandments in classrooms. Out of 10 commandments, there are exactly 3 that matter to the modern world. Thou shall not lie, Thou shall not kill, and Thou shall not commit adulatory. The other 7? I am the lord thy god, thou shall not have no gods before me, thou shall maintain the Sabath, ETC.

Will we teach according to the child's beliefs or will we just ignore the fact that several other religions exist). I don't want my kids pledging the US flag either. It didn't go so well for a lot of kids in 1930s Germany.

    As a boomer, I can vouch for the fact is you cannot compare hourly rates during our youth to what is currently offered unless you factor in expenses and what that money could buy back in the old days as compared to now. The actual monetary amounts don't mean sh*t; what is important is how much power that amount of money had/has.

    I realize tipping culture in the US is out of control but I've asked the employees about the pay system prompting me to tip the crew if they get any of the tip. Turns out many places didn't know the pay system asks and they admit they never heard of any tip sharing.... So even though the pay system blasts you with a plea for tips when one isn't really expected, the employees may not be getting any of the tip if you feel you want to give them one... This is horrible. I ask the employees if they actually get the tips before I even consider tipping now.

    Keeping "mandatory" tipping and taxes off the prices on the menus just makes the prices look lower than they really are. VAT can easily be calculated for each item and included the price, for ordinary people (we do that in Europe, and it works very well). Tips ought to be for extraordinary service, or if you're feeling generous. The standard wages ought to be living wages, because cashiers, chefs and wait-staff need to be alive to do their job. Lower than living wages is simply slavery.

    Nothing is more insulting than being paid less than state minimum wage after 6 years, being denied minimum wage for my time (12 hour days) because I'm "not productive enough" despite my boss confessing, in the same breath, that she "doesn't pay attention to what I do when I'm there," and then giving me a generous $5 per day raise... And buying a $12k ATV, an $18k hot tub and a whole mess of expensive "toys" and upgrades for their recently custom built mcmansion. 😑

    Yes, they used focus groups during the presidential election race between Gore and Bush, to ask if people thought climate change sounded happier. They did, so the administration ran with it, stole the election from al gore very literally, and claimed the earth isn't heating faster since the industrial revolution, but it's changing naturally. We could have had Al Gore, one of the first to internationally sound the alarms to governments about global warming...instead we got a stupid daddy's boy who started a war against, well we don't know really, to get sadam Hussein since his dad couldn't. (And not that Hussein wasn't a war criminal, mass murdering tyrant who absolutely needed to be assassinated, just that he didn't crash plans into the trade center to start a war).

    As uni prof a bit ago, I would occasionally allow parents into my classroom with children (all parents had them wear headphones during lecture). I talked with them in advance. I approved every request and none were disruptive. But if I said no, they would have to miss class. It wasn't all semester but here and there. Students were penalized for missing too. Everyone one of my bosses (3 over 12 yrs) told us we could not do that. We had to deny the parent. I never had a complaint but would have done it as many times as I could have until I would be threatened with termination. I would probably have gone to the Profs Senate and taken it to the university floor for discussion.

    Where I live, employers have to help their employees have a decent work-life balance. If their employees get burned out, the employers are seen as partly to blame, and have to pay some of the sick-leave. When kids under age 8 are sick, parents get paid sick-leave for Caring for a Sick Child (VAB in Swedish). Parents are expected to share this; if the mom takes all of it, her colleagues and employer will often urge her to get her co-parent to take some of it.

    Because the Republicans are manipulating the districts so they cannot lose an election. Even though there are more people in a gerrymandered state that will vote Democrat, the Republicans still win due to the gerrymandering. It is not ethical or fair, but Republicans are no longer concerned with fairness or ethics.

    I found a way to deal with that "work or die" b******t. I developed a nasty case of covid in 2020. The company did allow for work from home for a few months and then notified employees that they need to be back at work by Monday. I was over covid, but left with miserable respiratory issues. I went back to work and deliberately refused to take any cough meds with me. I coughed constantly- and loudly. In meetings, in the break room, in elevators, everywhere. I am also blessed with a really weak stomach, so a lot of coughing fits are followed with vomiting fits. So, in a large conference room, full of soldiers, I start wheezing, then coughing, then retching, and finally vomiting. Everywhere. I tried to get to a trash can, but they had moved them to make room for the meeting. A soldier might not be afraid of bullets, but I can assure you that they are afraid of projectile vomiting. Some of them even joined in. We went back to WFH the next day.

    As a programmer, I go through credit and criminal background checks every time I change jobs. My code and I deal with sensitive customer data, and they want some reassurance that I'm not desperate enough to be compromised.

    You're correct. It has no bearing. But certain industries, banking, finance, gaming, pretty much most that are federally regulated, require it. Not saying it's right, but it is true.

    Disgusting to ask your employees to sacrifice when they could just give the time. CEOs are mostly sociopaths with no empathy whatsoever. Reminds me of the owner of FOX biscuits in the UK. His son hit a wee girl with his car. She had permanent and life changing injuries. The son was sentenced to high compensation payments. His father then asked all FOX employees to donate to pay for the compensation.

    we had this at my job 20 years ago. You had to ask reception for a key, and walk around the block to the disabled toilet out in the back carpark that was being used as a storeroom. There was a way through the building straight to the carpark right next to the said toilet, but it was through the office of the sales team and you were not allowed to interrupt their d**k measuring contests. Guy with explosive Diarrhea got an official warning after using the inside toilet for a medical emergency. The kicker? the mens toilets where in the area where the COO sat.

    As a nurse, I'd drop off a copy of the signs and symptoms of Toxic Shock Syndrome. It then becomes a choice for the manager. 1. Do you allow women the freedom of menstruating with dignity and taking a break when necessary. OR 2. You can deny a few breaks a shift to do 'girl things ' or you can wait till they're so sick that they'll miss months of treatment. (If they live that is. TSS can be fatal.

    My son works for a pizza company as a general manager. In our state of Michigan, breaks are not required and neither are unpaid meals. He consistently works 10-14 hour days without a single break and no opportunity for lunch. The only employees who get a break are those under 18 due to child labor laws. Adults get nothing. Ridiculous and infuriating.

    In GA, even under 18 don't get breaks or the mgrs never allowed it even when I asked. I was a phone girl and a delivery driver from 16-20 yrs old. I only ate b/c of a friend working on the ovens would slip me bread sticks or what not as I went out the door and ate them on deliveries. As a phone girl... It was tricky. I was usually so busy I didn't think about it. Unless I worked the lunch shift. Then I would be made to clock out for 2-3 hrs in the middle of the shift if not enough customers ordered despite being scheduled for that whole shift. Pissed me off royally. You couldn't go far in case the mgr called you back for a run or spate of calls and need to make the pizzas.

    I once worked as an accountant, taking and counting money from employees who sold train tickets, food and drinks on trains. My college was on vacation and they closed our second office for a few days just before some major deadline. I had so many people wanting me to count and officially receive their money I had to work over 12h+ daily for about a week, with 2h commute to and from work. And I mean 12+ hours working, no time for any food during my shift. I managed to get only a small break, because I had mom's dog with me (mom was away and I couldn't lock her home for 16+ hours). I tried to eat something small before my shift, sometimes after it too, but after a week I got so sick I could not digest anything, even water was a problem. My whole gastric system was inflamed and I developed reflux (I hope it's how it's called in English, too)... I had to get about 2 months of sick leave, because I could eat only banana and plain yogurt and it took me those 2 months to heal my stomach enough I could function on a strict diet. It has been more than 5 years and it still sometimes comes back in some form, when I am in stress... You need to eat at your own pace for your brain and body to work.

    That happened to a friend of mine who worked at Rogue Brewing. Yeah, openly naming them this time. It was New Years eve and the owner's son called the restaurant and the phone rang FOUR TIMES! All staff meeting on New Years Day at 8AM. My friend told them to get effed and they fired him.

    While ignoring this is probably the wise route, I would either send them an invoice for $150 for "processing an invalid invoice" or simply ask to see the contract where I agreed to a two-week notice requirement. You know these SOBs would highly likely have sent you home immediately after you gave two-weeks notice and not paid you for the two weeks.

    My workplace doesn't provide milk. There's no point in bringing your own because people steal it. And when we asked why they won't give us milk, they said because people use it for their cereal instead of coffee/tea. SO WHAT?! Then they said the GAs (General Assistants) steal it (which I can believe, since they pay them badly). So I put my regular milk in an almond milk bottle. No one at school like almond milk!

    As someone who worked as a teachers aide and who is alot a parent i can say teachers dont get paid enough . Some have to pay for their own class room supplies and kids these days ain't easy. I swear if I was a teacher and some kid started in with the 6-7 c**p id throw something at there head.

    The pay for teachers in my state is "up to" 50k a year now, and you have to have a bachelor's and teaching certificate. The pay fo a correctional office with a GED starts at 60k, with shift differential.

    Then, there's Chicago: "If the Chicago Teachers Union gets its way with the mayor they helped elect, their next contract will boost the average teacher’s pay by half to $144,620 in the 2027-2028 school year. The average now is $93,182."

    A few years ago, someone sadly passed away in my dept. We were told first before the rest of the company. We were allowed to go home if we felt the need. No one did but we all basically stopped for an hour or so. The ceos put out the notification along with saying that the rest of the company had to wind their necks in and not try to harass us as they usually do.

    There's so much we don't know. OP could have been a terrible employee who they'd been contemplating firing for a while. OP asks for a raise, and management decides this is the time to let OP go. Or, maybe OP was great, deserved a raise, and management are just jerks.

    I don’t think “sick leave” should be cashed out. Getting paid for work not done is considered a benefit / privilege in most of the world. Accrual should (in theory) be a balance between what should be paid fairly(while actually being sick) vs @buse of sick leave. Humble opinion. MCom I/O Psych and HRM - yet ground level employee. That said - I fully agree this employer could do more than asking other employees to “donate” their sick days, especially because it’s an ongoing issue

    We had a sick leave bank established where I worked. We each already had plenty of sick days ourselves. The bank was for people with really long-term illnesses. Nobody had any for years and years, so we we're able to start funding maternity leaves far beyond what our employer provided.

    I was working as a contractor. I have 25 years experience, and my compensation was matching the experience. The company decided that all of the people working for my contracting company were overpaid, and told us we would have to take a 30% cut in pay if we wanted to stay there This came after 5 years of no raises and the cost of living going UP more than 30%. Their justification was all of our jobs listed on the various job boards were for 30% less than we were making. What they didn't factor in was the experience level of those jobs was 2 to 3 years, not 25 years. Then they never bothered to actually allow us to take the pay cut, they just terminated the contract. I found a job that paid better in less than 30 days. And I have heard they are still having problems with the new person because they expect him to do the same level work as I did.
