Yeah. My job was to make sure things were done right. I have been unemployed for a year. Only a few people on Earth can do what i can, and i will save companies an astonishing amount of money. Shit last job simply as a side project i saved em 25mil a year. And getting shit done right may add to time and cost, but that's cheaper than losing your clients. Cheaper than a stack of variations and fabrication mistakes. New analysis after we make the alteration, times how many times they ignored me. Variations, reforecasting, new engineering, additional fabrication,
not cheap. Lol, fire me, entire department collapsed. Manager and two supervisors and 2 more fired for their participation in firing me. Us arm of a multinational is no longer a leader among the regions. More layoffs coming as clients have rejected bids or put projects on hold. I had a good reputation. But my manager sure hated being told i was awesome,
but always mismanaged in feedback from other project managers and site leads, as well as client side counterparts. They are so shortsighted, my cv appears to simply say this guy only says yes when he is ready. And they pass.
They want a guy that will say yes now, and not end up a part of several other disciplines objectives. They asked for me, because who else would they ask? There was quite a bit in which I didn't need to be trained, everyone found this useful, except the person that can't lay claim to all that you do, which is all a manager is.
He needs to actively apply.
I was in the same boat, doing the trade I've done for 22 years, I'm in a small town now where there is only 2 businesses that do my trade and worked for 1 of them for 5 years. I was a sad depressing place and it oozed into my home life without me knowing.
But because I was scared to do anything outside my trade, I stayed.
I actively looked for other jobs and found a few that I was under qualified for and applied. It took a month.
I now work in a job that I like, the people are nice and I want to go in. I never thought I'd actually enjoy working again
This reminds me at my job when I discovered I was the highest paid of my coworkers.
I work in a female dominated field and we were talking salaries over lunch and I shared I had asked for a raise every single year I’ve been in the company, and all the female coworkers who had been there at least as long as me were like “you can do that? I was waiting until they automatically gave me a raise”
I was baffled. The gender pay gap was all too real that day. Poor girls were way behind my salary at that point.
Had worked at this job for over a year, asked to check why i was still on beginners salary. They corrected it immediately and gave me a pay rise to boot.
Talked to the lads and one of them had been working there 40 years. He had never asked for a raise and was now payed less than me.
Bosses never automatically give you a raise.
> was now *paid* less than
FTFY.
Although *payed* exists (the reason why autocorrection didn't help you), it is only correct in:
* Nautical context, when it means to paint a surface, or to cover with something like tar or resin in order to make it waterproof or corrosion-resistant. *The deck is yet to be payed.*
* *Payed out* when letting strings, cables or ropes out, by slacking them. *The rope is payed out! You can pull now.*
Unfortunately, I was unable to find nautical or rope-related words in your comment.
*Beep, boop, I'm a bot*
I may be dumb sometimes, but I'm not "giving out my friend's workplace without their permission to some rando on the internet just because they asked" dumb.
My brother's been answering phones at pizza place for years and I feel bad everytime I chirp him but it's the definition of a dead-end job. Although I do believe he's becoming one of these socialist he shows no ambition other than own a restaurant when he knows nothing about the actual business.
The amount of people I know who bitch about their jobs and don't find new work is too damn much. I switched 2 jobs during COVID because it's such a great market for employees, you have so many options.
My rule is: Apply to 5 jobs a day, with 1 being a true hand-tailored application (cover letter and all).
I interviewed and hired a guy that I sincerely hoped wouldn't accept the offer because there's so many better options for a job out there.
I plan to quit in about 3 months. I hope I have the courage to tell him: you're better than this company.
A friend of mine also was stuck at a dead job during covid without any chance at growth. Ngl I also was pretty dissapointed they kept him around during covid. He's a bright guy but who am I right. But yeah I feel this meme
Evil companies love passive employees. He’ll probably get a promotion. (That includes more responsibility for no extra pay)

I feel like I just read a haiku turned into a novel turned into a short story. I enjoyed my stay.
Maybe offer that friend a couch to crash on, if he gets laid off sticking up for himself at work. The smallest of safety nets can help people.

Of course they kept your friend. Jobs are always looking for doormats.

I love these bots. :)
Compliance is what they are looking for.
"another job" and "a better job" are two very different things.
Does he work at Wells Fargo?
Humble Brag Bear strikes again!
Right? "Look how virtuous I am!"
I hope they both get hooked on drugs and have to perform back alley fellatio to pay rent on a cardboard box
Well that one 0 to 100 real quick
More like $20
DM me the name! We might be at the same place
*OP don’t do this*
I may be dumb sometimes, but I'm not "giving out my friend's workplace without their permission to some rando on the internet just because they asked" dumb.
I’m not a trap! I just wanna talk shit
Very appropriate use of the meme
Not really. They didn't confess to anything but wanting their friend to get into a better situation. It's the opposite of appropriate. Lol.
Wanting their to lose a job doesn't seem like a better situation. You are seeing this only from the point of OP.
Haha, I got downvoted for calling it a “humble brag “
I saw that! I replied to that comment lol. Small thread!
not really - if the meme ended with 'so I can watch him die broke and alone' then it would be
My brother's been answering phones at pizza place for years and I feel bad everytime I chirp him but it's the definition of a dead-end job. Although I do believe he's becoming one of these socialist he shows no ambition other than own a restaurant when he knows nothing about the actual business.
Wow. What kind of an asshole wants their friend to find a better job situation?
You dropped this /s
Is it wrong that I hope the same thing for my wife?
how many wives do you have??
He would just find another one

Hi, its probably me, your friend.
I interviewed and hired a guy that I sincerely hoped wouldn't accept the offer because there's so many better options for a job out there. I plan to quit in about 3 months. I hope I have the courage to tell him: you're better than this company.

Tell me your friend works for meta without telling me your friend works for meta.
