Boss makes a dollar, I make 5 cents

That's why I'm skipping the office events

I’ll do fun work events if they’re during work time. You’re telling me I don’t have to work and get to have fun? Sure!

We played laser tag once during a Friday instead of working. It was blast.

Oh, I work from home most of the time and for most "events" I would need to appear in person. A pizza party is not making me want to spend an hour extra in traffic

[-] Mirshe@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

Bingo. If it's happening during work hours and I still get paid, sure. If I'm not getting paid or it's happening during my limited time away from work? I will move heaven and Earth to HAVE something to do.

Earning ratios are worse even in ol work songs now? Sheesh!

It's keeping up with my inflation.

Boss makes a dollar, I make a cent

That's why he can get fucking bent

Probably going to feed it to Haitian immigrants in line for their transgender operations.

Would love to see a company list their cons during the interview process…

[-] wizardbeard@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 months ago

I had one that kind of did. Looking back I think it was a clever way of seeing if I was a good fit based off my reaction.

It was the end of the interview and he asked if I had any questions, and I pulled the "turn it around on them" play and asked him what he enjoyed most about his job/working there. He was going to be my boss.

He said "every day I get to work on something new". With the magic of far more experience now, I understand just how much that's a blessing and a curse. That idea excited me at the time, and it was the attitude needed for the position.

Now I prefer to have that opportunity available, but I have to be able to deep dive into a smaller subset of things and ignore the churn sometimes to stay sane long term.

Working with something new every day in a tech support position just means something new is breaking every day, and there's not enough time to become well versed in much of it.

We're highly incompetent and all of the other teams that rely upon us hate us.

[-] Obi@sopuli.xyz 2 points 2 months ago

See that's when I'd be thinking "I can fix them"

[-] stringere@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

I've been looking for that team all my career. I always seem to be on the "competent and held accountable" team.

I kind of had one a few years before covid because they were butts in the seat with strict office hours. They asked up front if that was an option. A lot of things sucked with policies but it did have a decent work life balance. Walk out the door exactly at 5pm and never check email remotely.
