[Rant] I’m fucking annoyed. (reddthat.com)

My already soul-sucking job that has me carving out 9 hours a day just announced that going forward we’re supposed to be dedicating an extra half hour and that this will be rigorously enforced with a clock-in/clock-out system (we didn’t have one before), and I’m livid. Naturally, there’s no mention of a pay increase or any such because apparently “this is what we should’ve been doing all along”, even though we’re paid peanuts and there’s next to nothing by way of incentives or anything of the sort.

I worked my way up here precisely so I wouldn’t have to be subject to this sort of Big Brother scrutiny and this is just beyond annoying.

You worked your way up to a job that pays peanuts?

Sir I have all the sympathy for your situation but you also settled at a shit company. You need to hustle your ass on out of there to a better paying job

The only way anyone gets anywhere these days in jobs is to move out when the pay gets stale. And you should avoid settling for jobs paying peanuts. Value your labour more than that or an employer never will

Relatively peanuts, compared to industry standard, but I absolutely hear ya. I'm out of here as soon as I can.
