Just because you've followed the saga... - Page 3

Thank you @grandma2pkmh . Speaking out has its reward. I started a mini uproar with us peons last night and it spread today. The pay cut has now been limited late this afternoon to salaried personnel only. Chalk up a victory for us.

To others here, someone has to stick up and say something since bad behavior like this is so often excused away as evidenced all over this thread. Truth brought to light hurts and I'm glad I shamed those who would take advantage. No employee should have to do that and have less peace in their lives especially now. Hopefully, others will stand up for themselves against bad employers too. Sometimes you do win one.

As to the pharmacy, because I work for a bad employer, I was certified as a pharmacy tech almost two years ago and am actively looking to switch careers. The one place that interviewed me only offered part time and I am still in a holding pattern as to my availability for that job. So still at old place looking to transition to new.

And I hate to break @Silver Lining's image of me wasting company resources but I'm working mainly offsite with minimal office time and have typed every post from own computer at home. You know what that say about assumptions...

And finally, just because I have been judicious with the little bit that I do have doesn't mean I don't matter or have long term stability. Most of that savings was in a 401k (guess what's happened to that) and I do pay rent and household bills. Never ever would I have a free ride nor would an Italian mother give me one. She wanted to generate income for her retirement. Enter me with a landlord I can trust.

Normally I would not explain myself but I want those who do lurk and find themselves in similar situations, no matter where on the financial scale you fall, you matter. You always matter.

And others may not understand financial realities because they haven't put a roof over their head in decades or been in the working world which has transformed tremendously with technology and Millenials. Or have ever been on their own without a financial partner or looking for work later in life.

I know others here get it. And it's harder to get ahead now than ever before and most of what we've built has been lost once again. Someone kicking you while you're down to boost themselves financially without just cause is criminal.

Speak up when you can. It's the only way people someday are going to get it. There but for the grace of God go I is a mantra everyone should meditate on here. You all have your own challenges. So do I. And I share them for better or worse sometimes but never believe you have the full picture. None of us can on this medium.

Bottom line, don't be dismissive or judgemental without walking the walk. If someone's venting pain, there are a couple posts here that are great ideas of what to do and I thank them profusely for it.

What planet do you live on?? The world does not revolve around you. All your posts complain in inaporopriate fashion about your co-workers, supervisors. Who writes all this verbal diarrhea ad nausea all this time about their supervisors, co-workers. On a shopping channel forum, no less. For how long now?? It speaks volumes. Grow up, you sound like a teenager in a bad reality show. Always having a tantrum...me, me, me, me....the world is all about me!!

Now that "the pay cut has been limited", do you plan to stay on at this job?

@deepwaterdotter I am just holding out until if and when the sale goes through. I expect to be unemployed at that point and I don't know what will happen to me from there.

@BeautyLverWhy exactly do you care to read and comment about it? That speaks volumes too. I live in a world that people like you refuse to believe exists because you've not experienced it. Believe it or not, I'm happy for you. You wouldn't want to.

@Laura14 At one point, an offer was on the table for a position you recently finished training for, is that offer still on the table? If so, just me but I would take it.

@BeautyLver And yet you read and remember them all. Stop reading her posts if you don't like them. Your choice. SMH

@qbetzforreal Possibly. It's all on hold until things settle down. I am going to wait for now until if and when I'm let go. The stress of trying to be professional towards everyone's needs and schedules in the midst of chaos is just overwhelming me right now.

I worked my way up the ladder...now I run a business with many employees. You have zero idea what anyone else goes through, has endured. Those of us who have been through real hardships in life...we don’t whine and seek attention. We work hard to get through and move forward. If you worked for me and your behaviour demonstrated is indicative of what you really do, you would have no job.

SMH. I just recall posts trashing others, supervisors at work. As the posts are so long and drawn out. Always the victim. Hard to forget, so ridiculous.
