There are poopy employers out there, sure, but there are some great ones out there too. Id assume this is the standard in any country, but Im sure someone will be quick to prove to me how wrong that assumption is, which is fine. Well. In America, where amazon makes billions upon billions a year in revenue and you hear how they treat their warehouse workers and such. Its disheartening. Where companies are capable of paying better wages and offering more compensation they just dont because people are always looking for work and people are replaceable in an instant. I mean, there are quite a few companies like that. When I worked at Walmart, it was butt. Great Wolf Lodge treated me great, I loved my time in DoD. Implementing the ACA in MD was.. interesting..and as an underwriter Im doing quite well. Sales was shit, though. There I had to do the work of like six people to get a tiny bump in my commission. It was a revolving door, too (and Im in Baltimore now) Some places are just butt. Thats no excuse or consolidation towards those in that position, but I dunno what to say/do about it. It does break my heart sometimes seeing great people struggling, and I do what I can to help those that I can, but I dunno, man. I just feel like shit sucks sometimes, but we gotta do what we can to get in a better spot, ya know? <cite>rhklce posted [p:914852149] in Dang, the ...
