If everyone who resigned doesn't use the time off and money saved to start their own Small business, investments, or side hustle.... then this was all a waste of time

Human capital is the most important part of a company. Pizza parties aren't better than a raise.
Yeah, these companies rather give you a bullshyt pizza party instead of a raise. Clowns be walkin in the breakroom like :mjgrin: when they see them pizza boxes on the table.

Corporate be lookin like :skip:

Detroit You bytch Ass nikka
I just requested 25 a hour at a job that starts at 18 per hour, they said yes.


However, they told me to NEVER mention my pay rate to anyone or my job could be at risk:what:.


I guess they would like to continue to be able to pay people 18 who don't ask for more at hiring.


I think I'm gonna take this job, Comcast never called me back after requesting 21$ a hour, so fukk them :yeshrug:

The best thing to happen because of Covid.

The curtain has been peeled back and the wizard is a lil bytch:mjlol:



Asking grown adults for doctors note to take sick days like they in 2nd grade :mjlol:

Timing grown adults breaks :mjlol:



Not letting grown adults take PTO:mjlol:



1% raise year over year :mjlol:




No one has time for this bullshyt
I love to see it.

Make these people as uncomfortable as possible. Make them scramble to find workers.

And that's just because of everything you listed. The "gung ho" attitude of American workers should have stopped long ago. People working through their breaks/lunches, spending more time at work than at home, etc.


My last job required you to put PTO time in TWO WEEKS IN ADVANCE:dahell:

I put in a request at my job 4 MONTHS in advance for PTO to visit my homies in ATL :unimpressed:

When I opened my app to see that shyt with a red mark saying denied:gucci:

Decided right then I'm going on that vacation regardless,:smugfavre: stopped answering their texts & now I'm transitioning fields happier than ever
I'm goin' to vegas at the end of next month. Put my request in 2 weeks ago. Regardless if it is approved or not, I'm still goin':umad:

We cant even carry our days over to the next year, so our only 2 options are to use them or cash them out. I'm not cashing out shyt. I'm using ALL of my days. I'll still have 9 days PTO remaining after Vegas.

Pizza parties will always be a negative experience for me ever since my last job. It was a damn near blizzard in New York and they wanted me to come in cause the trains were still "running". It took me 2 1/2 hours max to arrive at work and my manager gonna ask me why I'm late as a joke. :childplease:

I look around and only 10 people showed up out of 30, my manager then later the day talking about thank you and he needed me. They threw 10 of us a pizza party instead of giving us raises the next day tf. :why:

Same shyt happened when we had to work through the peak of the pandemic. Instead of giving us a raise for potentially risking our lives, we got a free corporate hat.:unimpressed:

I did this and don't regret it. I saved up my money and I quit at the start of this year with no backup plan :yeshrug:.

I been winging it all year, but I will finally be attending a tech bootcamp in Jan 2022.

How many realistic saved up money though? We saw through the pandemic, majority of people don’t even have 2 months worth of bills saved up.

Let's see how these folks will be looking in 6 months.

I mentioned in a thread a couple yrs ago about my disdain for pizza parties in regards to being rewarded.

I got a few "who doesnt like free food?" responses:snoop:

And ppl wonder why these jobs continuously get over on their workers.
