When I worked at a soul-crushing insurance job, we were given an event where the bosses served us pancakes. That was right after we were forced to celebrate bosses’ day and watch our bosses open gifts that the suck-ups got them. I was able to quit without notice shortly after and it felt so goddamn good.
I’ve left a dozen or so jobs over my entire life. One because the job was eliminated, five or six because school was starting/ending, one because the manager was a prick, and the rest exclusively because I was offered more money.
Definitely not. I’ve seen these type of questions and answers on practically any job application in America. Thing is, this isn’t even the worst example of it, unfortunately. It’s fucking depressing and degrading.
I had this argument with a boomer HR consultant and she just doubled down, even though I explained that neither I nor my colleagues, give two hoots about fussball or team building. Our position is a resounding “fuck you pay me” but oh no - boomer knows best.
My then gf now wife moved in with me and my employer wouldn’t cover her under the insurance. I made it clear that this was important. They wouldn’t back down. So got a new job. During the exit interview I repeated what I told them. It was only about the health insurance. HR tried to get me to talk smack about my manager, a guy I actually liked. I praised him and again told them that this was only about insurance.
Told my manager about what they did on the way out the door.
It’s especially morbid when the CAPITALISTS try to get you to “care about our totally noble mission, not what you get paid.”
The irony being that the mission is always to make the capitalist owners more money as the only priority. You, on the other hand, should just see making them money as its own reward, you lucky little capital battery.
It’s like being scolded about the intrinsic value of human life… by Jeffrey Dahmer.
Unless of course your job is to be a ping pong ball tester, in which case you may not be getting supported with the necessary tools to perform your job successfully.
Hundred percent. And best indicator for someone to stay is having sn actual friend at the company. So you gotta invest in leadership training and team building.
I am close to that. I know I could make more and I don’t particularly enjoy the work but my coworkers are freaken awesome and so is my boss. Guys I actually enjoy seeing after work.
Most likely just going to stick it out. There is something to be said about dealing with people for 40 hours a week that I like.
I’m not that old, worked with 14 companies, every manager was on the shit scale. Even when I saved a smaller companys biggest client, by rewriting critical part as a new hire when no one else could get it to satisfy new requirements, the manager told me I should not expect more money, since I didn’t finish Uni.
My boss had the worst employee satisfaction result ever seen in our group for his department. No surprise, he had oversold himself to get the job and when his idiotic project of redoing everything from the ground up started to be way delayed compared to the unrealistic promises he had made to the board, he asked everyone to go into “crunch mode” for “a short time”, work late, Saturdays, and so on. A “short time” became months…
Anyhoo, he asked us, what we could do about his shitty results because the board actually got worried. I reminded him, the work life balance sucked, people were overworked and they didn’t see any end to “the crunch” and it had to stop before any other action.
He dismissed my idea and he settled on a team lunch. But since he didn’t want to waste work time for “the crunch”, he decided to have it on a Sunday and fuck up the only off day for most of the people.
I’ve never seen a floor of people so angry than the day they got the email about that team lunch.
I told him, he dismissed it again.
That’s about when I went into quiet quitting and patiently waited to be fired while pretending to be out on meeting and actually going for walks in the park.
If a company is paying competitive wages then when an employee quits it isn’t because of pay.
If a company is paying low wages it will probably be because of the pay that a person quits, because there is nothing to keep them putting up with the bs that EVERY COMPANY HAS.
Employee retention has been a huge part of my job for over a decade. In the professional world, employees rarely leave over money.
It’s generally about opportunities to do new things/grow in their career (which is distinctly different from compensation), a culture problem (which compensation will not fix), or an engagement problem (poor leadership)
The only way I can see what he mean making sense is that he’s talking about the people making more than low 6 figures. I can totally see someone making 300k a year not leaving because of money but because they wanna do something new.
I’m sure your anecdotal experience clearly changes how the science of studying human behavior works.
That’s why COVID boosters were so pointless - your cousins brother’s friend got sick from the booster so obviously they’re full of metals that solidify in your circulatory system.
Just because you follow overlapping communities doesn’t mean everybody else does. As long as the post follows the community policies, there’s no problem with posting the same content to multiple appropriately-themed communities.
Bruh. I only posted it one community which I was advised to do so by others. The others are other people sharing this in other communities. There’s nothing wrong with sharing posts, in fact it can help people find other communities they might like.
Questions like these make me wonder if large capitalists actually live in an alternate universe but through some time and space shenanigans they are still here. There’s just no way they can make this type of shit up (assuming it’s a real question) without being delusional or sadistic.

Of course there is: they want to implement doublethink. It’s a deliberate attempt to make workers not to pursue their own rational interest when it conflicts with corporate profits.
These people live in the future where automatons make money for them for nothing. It’s why uber is pushing for automated cars. They don’t care about the present.
They are either people in advantageous positions that benefit from this or people that are stupid enough to think they will one day be the rich benefiters of this so why should they shoot their future self in the foot right? Goes hand in hand with people that are stupid enough to keep voting right because they advocate for the poor so at some point surely something will change.
