One of the guys already destroys our budgets with endless blabbering about nonsense and forces us to go through excruciating detail to accomplish something relatively simple. He’s never going to get fired because he’s too valuable.. fml right?
Well, I work at my client 4 days a week with no problems. The one day I come to my home office this always happens. So its not something that happens every day, but more like every week.
The type of harrassment I’ve been through could result in fallback that could cost the company far more than a few months severance and unemployment. I’m doing them a favor.
I tried this a few years back by not giving them any attention and having my headphones in. They kept talking about me when I was walking around the office and tried to get on my nerves. I snapped at one guy and he looked likehe had just seen a ghost. So I realized that approach wasn’t...
I don’t want anything on my otherwise clean record. I always thought that if I said anything to HR, that a future employer would find out through a background check. The last thing I want is to be seen as a potential problem before I’m even hired.
Thing is, I never had this kind of problem with...
I’m not a bad employee and my company isn’t that bad. The two people I referenced who are harrassing me just completely lack self awareness and don’t understand what they’re doing. They are engineers who lack social awareness and are applying their ideology of them being right all the time to my...
Yes, I understand all of this.
My question is whether they can fire me such that
1) I don't get any severance
2) I am denied unemployment
3) It would look negative to a future employer (as if I was fired for a bad reason and not just let go due to lack of available work)
I am a consultant (there is no contract with my company). It's at will employment. I understand my employer can let me go at any time. But can they FIRE me without severance/unemployment for telling them that I am looking for another job?
Due to harassment that has been going on for years, and poor leadership? I have hesitated to report the harassment because it comes from my manager and a guy who is very senior to me and helps me out a lot. If I got on either of their bad sides, my job would become hell.
When I say fire, I...
I have been with my company since I graduated college 6 years ago. I had a lot of student loans that needed to be cleared.
I dont think its too late to switch to tech/swe - I know I’ll be behind but the way I see it, I have another 30 years left in my career so no point in wasting it here...
Meh, my pay is on par with my qualifications and experience. Shopping around would mean I work more but commute less and get comparable pay. Not worth the stress to move, IMO. I just want out of the entire industry. I'm thinking 6-12 months of programming, networking, and learning core SWE...
I pretty much am in charge. I only talk to my boss a few times a week over the phone, and it's usually for minor QA/QC. Even then, I don't like my position. It's lonely and unfulfilling, the pay ceiling has been hit, no bonus, etc.
Same. Should have done computer engineering or CS.
I have had that privilege for several years now. As long as there's no need to talk to my clients or there are no meetings, I can work from home. I isolated myself from everyone so that I don't have to put up with bs.
That being said, no...
