Its bad for a lot of people rn. They also squeeze you to do more work per hour if youre a wage worker and dont have enough coworkers on shift. Capitalists trying to juice blood from stones
I think the part I'm mad about is that they agreed to a higher salary at 30h then to ask in the third interview if I could do more hours then had HR go LOWER on the salary but HIGHER on the hours. What the absolute fuck.
Yeah, thats fucked up, you are being exploited. The consolidation prize is that we know Marx is right about surplus value. I hope you have better luck if you keep hunting!
I sent a passive aggressive email back, if it's any consolation. I can't believe I was stupid enough to not clarify that 40h increase would mean a wage increase as well?? I thought it was implied! Fuck me I guess.
Hell yeah, be less passive and more aggressive! What are they gonna do, fire you?? Seriously, you might have some power cuz workers are in high demand.
I haven't signed the contract yet. I'm just fuming because second interview I assumed I would get, say, 17 an hour and now it's 13 an hour and even MORE hours. And it's not even in the field I studied for. I worked so hard for four years, doing the work of two degrees, and to get this shitty response? I'm so upset I can't send them a "Fuck off" letter.
It may be worth it to walk away. It's reasonable to feel like you have to take anything at this point, but if it's not going to meaningfully improve your financial situation, then maybe you shouldn't.
You could tell them to fuck off, just decide if you want to with a clear head. You have all the power rn if you didnt sign yet. Do what makes you happy, as long as you can afford to eat!
You may have dodged a bullet. If that place was willing to fuck around with you before you're even employed, imagine what they would have in store for you after. Props to you for challenging their new proposal, I remember when I was job searching out of college, so much re-entering what was on my resume and all that bullshit all for them to either never contact me again in most cases or to have some BS interview process that my socially inept ass fumbled through and failed. The first offer I got was the one I took with no counter-offers, even though I knew I would wind up doing more work then a junior dev should do for even less than the average entry level salary! How whipped has capitalism made me ... :kitty-cri-potato:
Thanks, I suppose I need that 'hey you did a right thing' right now. I just feel so upset it's been 9 months of shit all, and the worst bit is, I can LITERALLY get higher rates as a babysitter than what they were paying me. Of course a babysitter is not a full time job but ffs. And I'm still mad that I met their CEO and she had the gall to tell me my job was important.
we had a call out (I teach) and my supervisor called me a half hour before class starts and tells me that I just have to teach both classes at the same time. I straight up was like 'these are two very different, already too large, classes. I'm just going to show videos because I have no time to plan anything' and thankfully she was just like 'yeah do whatever'. but it's so frustrating that they already underpay us and overwork us and then pull this shit. she was like 'i'll get you a Dunks gift card' and I'm like "JUST FUCKING PAY ME FOR MY LABOR!". Jesus, is it that hard? They bitch about not finding substitutes, but if they were like 'hey here is 30 bucks an hour' I am sure people would love to sub or teach for them...
I wish I could sub, but I dont have the qualifications, some bullshit nonsense. I cant pass a drug test for pot. I can show up to work not stoned or reeking, but somehow that still makes me less employable than the men who talk me history.... :amerikkka:

Lmao I swear 83% of teachers I know smoke.
trading two weeks of sobriety for a job as a sub is not what im looking to do though. I would do that if I qualified for a full time job tho
