Work & Life

Disgusting, people are ruthless

[Captain Planet]

That is literally treating your employees like cattle

Makes me even think about my corporate ambitions

[Kurtis]

id get out of there ASAP tbh

[Captain Planet]

Lol nah

Make yourself invaluable and you cannot be touched without stirring things up in a big way

[Kurtis]

id rather have job security tbh, or at least a warnin

even if it means i make less

[Captain Planet]

Your company only dictates your job security to an extent

Obv if you're working for ENRON you'll be screwed

But a a normal firm you have to make sure your still an important cog in the machine be it by taking the relevant courses or being tenacious to stay on top

You should never be content as just part of the furniture

[Kurtis]

of course

but to be there since 1998 guy obv wasnt sleeping at his desk

and to let man go without even a days notice is not nice

i wouldnt want to be in that environment, constantly thinking if imma be fired today would stifle my work rate

[Guest M12]

Lol bare naivety in here. Sometimes being made redundant is a straight business decision. Nothing to do with how good you are at your job or how "motivated" you are.

[Captain Planet]

If your redundancy has more cons than pros to the benefit of te firm then you will not go

Companies don't stockpile workers to do nothing so they can fire them at a whim

If you're getting fired you are obsolete

If you're not you are vital

yes but surely when the powers that be are selecting who they are going to make redundant , they are not going to lay the ones bringing in the most money or the top workers

is what im screaming

[Supermalt]

whole departments go even if you are an asset. If your team, your floor doesn't make sense on the bottom line, your going when the dam breaks unless you can jump somewhere else in the business. Aint no point being on the top of a sinking ship, theres no such thing as a permanent job anyway.

again naive viewpoint.

Your company hires you/a group of workers because they've got a new project or new client that they expect to get a lot of work from and their current workforce is stretched. If the project gets canned or that client pulls back. Best believe you're all disappearing regardless of how "good" and "motivated" you are.

Also like Supermalt said if your department is making a loss or the company believes that market is shrinking or disappearing you're all getting made redundant.

You're a number on a screen somewhere and if an accountant/management report flags that you/your team dont make sense. You will disappear. Always remember that.

[O Fenomeno]

Maybe he wanted fresh blood

Getting rid of old guard and maybe that guy wasn't ready for the next level

[The Infamous]

yeah i got made redundant at one of my previous jobs it was strictly business aspects

they hired for the masses of calls they were getting when the public stopped getting the swine flu they released 65% of us lol

i weren't even mad knew it could happen

[The Infamous]

Nailed the interview only way it can f*ck up now is if I f*ck up massively on Monday but I'm already a OG in the role

Get in there

[revs]

Imagine being at a company since 1998. You go on holiday and come back to be told you don't have a job.

This is so unbelievably real last week.

[Kuffir]

so many piff tings

di daliance must be stealthy

[The Infamous]

THEY BLACKBALLED ME :rip: :rip:

[Mic Man]

Was there sonething wrong with ur references?

[The Infamous]

apparently she said to me on the fone if she hired me i would be in trouble

I left on a sour note but I fully don't understand why that blocks me from working in other branches :s

That's the article. Perfectly encapsulates life working for them. This article is the reason we all got a raise, although they claimed it was because they "had such an exceptional year and really wanted to show their thanks"

SMH

Some guy was telling me that you don't really have management in the apple store and some random computer chooses your shifts and what not.. Is it true?

He was saying some other boys sued a store once over that and won..

But PMSL @ having a pc make your roaster on some take it or leave it sh*t. Thats peak.

[Supermalt]

starting to think i just dont like working for people, no matter what the job is, never really happy

new job, decent pay, alright people but still
