Same...

Upper management does not believe this is true because people in upper management is motivated by titles & money & power.

If everybody truly had these priorities, all the stuff f*cked up in the world would instantly disappear. Sad. But joy to you for helping make a difference. We just have to remember not to be silent along the way, or the (illusion of) control seekers will destroy everything once and for all.

This is not hilarious, this is the sad truth

Exactly!

This right here. I don't need to go from inside sales to outside sales to sales manager, etc. I'm perfectly happy being the "girl in the chair" and keeping things nice & orderly for the department, and getting regular raises for a job well done.

My boss encouraged me to apply for a role in XYZ city, different state. Pay would be 10% more than what I am on entry level, rent 150% more than what I am currently paying. I LOVE my entry level job and no way do I want the stress of a promotion

Is "dassit" the new "tryna"? That's it, I'm done trying to make sense of these silly "words" that save a few characters. Sounds ignorant anyway.

I totally agree

Its this attitude that enables so many graduate recruits to arrive in an organisation expecting to slot in straight away at or near the top rung.

I have been blessed to have this exact situation. Plus, my job is not stressful, the majority of my co-workers are mature and level headed. I've been at this job going on 10 years and have no desire to 'move up', or take on any additional responsibilities. My siblings look down on me because I live in a small house, drive an 18 year old car and never have extra money. But, I guarantee, I have more peace and happiness than their new cars and fancy vacations will ever give them.

Why is this so hard to ask for? Something is very wrong with our society, there are way too many humans for any one to feel burnt out.

Same here... Its a big part of why I hate being an American. Its near impossible to do here.

Amen brother!

A life goal to be truly proud of!

Universe: Best I can do is copious amounts of alcohol and crying in the shower until you go all pruny

Cat > people

Leadership skills

I asked for a raise and they didn't give it to me. So now I only work for what they value me. And this is why I spend most of my working hours on BP! 🤣

"I'm sorry, sir, but I won't be able to come in today on account of needing to take care of my son whose school was canceled."

Damn, this hits hard

Majestic!

*smiling way too hard*

Person on the left side not taking the hint

It starts when we're in school. Getting called to the Principal's office. We're used to not being allowed to defend ourselves on equal ground because we've been infantilized. Boss big, you small. Such nonsense...

Good old USA :D Luckily we have ~28 days paid vacation, paid sick days and 1 year maternity leave (reduced wage tho) but I wouldn't trade that.

That's when I make a show of reading their name tag. And then acting 'shocked' when it doesn't have the word 'management' written on it.

I would do this

Nah. All you need is algebra.

My mood after leaving my cat:

So stupid when they say you should be here for other reasons. Like I don't give a hang about your business, I just want to earn enough to live my life

Sometimes when a snow storm or hurricane is coming, I think for a second " maybe they'll close my workplace." Then I remember I work at a hospital...

I've mastered it

Isn't this why communism always fails?

I'm very close with a particular colleague, it turned out that we live withing walking distance from each other, so before lockdown and home working, I used to drive her home and we would spend the journey griping about our jobs, colleagues, management

If my boss ever asks us for suggestions for improvement I'm dreaming

100%

My life...

I honestly despise people expecting recognition just cause they wield "manager" or "C" title. You do your job, I do mine. I's totally out of f..s to give which a*s you've been forced to kiss to get your badge. But you will have my full respect if you are competent at what you do.

I do this. I’m 14

True stuff 😂

101st upvoter = me

I just change 'kind regards' to just 'regards' to let people know I hate them

For me there's no correlation between sleep and getting annoyed at work

The definition of 'okay': Not okay at all help me, Life is good, I hate life.

I threw A-nnette outta the winda to catch Linda 🤪

nah but ET looks cute

people. 🙄

Drama!!!!!!!!!

Worker: Give it a try, just in case, I bet you can express your feelings in cash better than you think

This is me before work

And I can't help the fact that I was born idiot intolerant.

blep

yet the day ahead will be at least 14 years long
