Off Topic Discussion Megathread

[Cincierta]

Note to self: stop sacrificing so much of myself to a company you work for that doesn't care for all the hard work I put into it.

A couple weeks ago my boss made the incredibly stupid decision to let 3 people go on vacation the week before Easter, including himself. He then scheduled two of the most unreliable people to work on holiday stuff, and one of them has turned into an absolute flake during her current pregnancy. She's also quite underweight and small to even consider having a safe pregnancy.

The other can't work more than a handful of hours at a time, and she came in suffering from flu-like symptoms.

I got left with a ton of the Easter production and normal production, ended up skipping my breaks and pulling in 45 hours last week and got a decent chunk of them done by myself. Instead of getting thanked for pulling a near miracle, I get reamed for not taking breaks.

If three people didn't go on vacation at a critical time, not only could we have had more holiday stuff out, but I would've been able to take my break AND not have a ton of overtime.

It sounds like it's time to look for another job.

I was brought up with the idea that if I worked hard and kept a good attitude I'd get somewhere too. It's all a lie.

You just get used while other employees get promoted because you're indispensable in the lowest job on the organization's tier chart. And, when you go above beyond, it isn't appreciated. It's expected.

Then, after years of busting balls for them, you get called in by HR, and they threaten to fire you for something petty.

Meanwhile, your supervisor is enjoying the largest bonus she's ever gotten.

It's all a lie.
