An act of kindness at work

The best part of the job was making a few friends that I still keep in touch with.

When you are a new hire, you are not introduced to your co-workers. You are never introduced to the so called big shots either.

Your job description changes daily. You trumy to assist the customer and your are told you did wrong

My 1st supervisor there was kind, helpful and understanding. After she was teansferred to another department, the new ones had no idea how to treat their workers.

Workers are suppose to work to help the customer but.the customer has to speak to numerous agents to hopefully get their issue resolved. i suggested having the agent work from beginning to end and i was shot down. As a comsumer do you want to repeat yourself over and over. I don't. How about having an agent hang up on you. And those sgents get raises and you dont

Empty promises and treated like you don't matter

If a suoervisor sees you do something right they turn it inro something you did wrong.

Don't waste your time.working where you are treated poorly. Their products suck and so does working there

Fired for no reason

I worked with a company for 9 years and out of nowhere, after a full day of work, I was told by my supervisor they were letting me go. When I asked why, he said because of a disagreement we had 6 months ago. I had never been written up, told I was an asset to the company, told I would never be fired because of all I knew and how good I worked all by him. After that disagreement 6 months ago I had went to the HR person and explained and also found out he lied about what really happened. HR never documented it and turned on me also, they are friends. My supervisor had humiliated me once again because everyone new I was being fired. He even let the office staff leave early that day because of it. I was still working and wondered why everyone was leaving. Now looking for a job at 60 years old to start all over. Took me about a month to get over the shock, anger, sadness. Couldn't sleep...I was devastated. I'm still feeling it because I cannot find a job and now with this Coronavirus, things are even worse.
Thank you for listenening....

You can’t unless you’re part of the culture that predominates there. You will be stabbed in the back and trash talked by the people you work closest with. It is a very demoralizing and territorial atmosphere.

Setting expectations when you're having a tough time outside of the office

So I'm currently going through a difficult time outside work and I had to have the internal debate as to whether I should let a handful of people at work know because, ultimately, it was affecting my productivity at work. I ended up coming to the conclusion that, in order to be a responsible employee, I should share the information with my boss, HR, and a few select people who I trust and work with closely.

This can be a daunting thing to do but I advocate for it for two reasons:

  1. Setting expectations with your work and colleagues about what you can and cannot do is the right thing and the responsible thing to do.

  2. When the thing that is impacting your work is due to the side effects of emotional upheaval or mental illness, having the conversation (without ever needing to go into more depth than you're comfortable with) helps normalize the notion that we are all human, we all have varying degrees of emotional stability, and we can recognize that fact. Talking about it is not a bad thing and, in the vein of this group, helps move us in the direction of stopping the stigma of mental illness.

Narcissism on the Job

It often happens that employees, at all levels in a worplace, are confronted with the "big ego" of others. In fact, dealing with this in a helpful way may be a significant, but unstated, part of the job description. People in middle management are often confronted with the narcissism (big ego), of people above and below them in the organization. Dealing with narcissism in a humane and effective way may require gaining skills and awareness in regard to narcissism, but such education and training can significantly upgrade overall functioning and job satisfaction. Loss of employment, voluntary and involuntary, is frequently due to difficulties in the relationships between employees rather than due to difficulties in performance of defined job tasks. Wounded pride (narcissistic injury), is frequently behind the loss of employment. Even violence on the job (or post employment) can be traced to narcissistic injuries. Bureaucratic systems are especially at risk for causing wounded pride and having serious consequences. Even though problems related to narcissism in the workplace are prevalent and very costly, I am not aware of workplace narcissism being the focus of efforts to upgrade workplace functioning. Perhaps people reading this would like to respond and offer their experiences of dealing with "ego" problems in their workplaces.

Terminated

How long does it take for me to find a wrongful termination lawyer to go over my case. Was terminated 2 days before the new year came in after a bunch of lies was said about me. This was after me and a former co-worker had a disagreement
