At a previous job we had an HR manager get fired right after returning from maternity leave. She was replaced by the guy that she trained to fill in for her while she was gone. She sent a company wide email with the pay rate of everyone from the plant manager on down. It was a shit show. A lot of pay rates were wildly different in management/supervision and maintenance. There were talks of workstop strikes and slowdowns, even threats of unionizing. I believe that this one act lead to the eventual closure of the plant. It was a crazy time.

I know how much everybody in the IT is getting paid. From that I can safely say that: 1) new people with no skill nor experience get a lot more money than people who have been working here for years and know our product in and out and 2) that I am one of those who get paid the less. Raises are opposed against because “everybody gets the same, no matter the experience” (complete lie, see above). The result is that I am now actively searching for a higher paid job.

All this stuff is so negative…I’m gonna throw a positive one out there! My boss is secretly a competitive ballroom dancer and he’s too embarrassed to tell anyone. I found out when my girlfriend and I took a beginner course and he was in the studio working on a routine. I got sworn to secrecy but I think that’s so interesting.

Not my current job, but when I worked in logistics my boss, head of outbound operations didn’t have a high school diploma and and the job required a college degree. She lied on her resume to get the job. She was an amazing boss, though. She didn’t micromanage, she called me on my shit and screw-ups when they occurred but was never mean or “power-trippy” about it. She offered suggestions to increase efficiency, but they weren’t required, we just had to test them out, keep what worked, discard what didn’t. Somehow, she always was able to make me feel proud of a job well done, while still making determined to do better. Probably the best boss I’ve worked for to date. And that includes 6 years of self-employment. She was fired a few months after I left for lying on her resume.
