As per title.

I'll start cos I'm fucking fuming which is why I'm making the thread.

I learned this week that I will not have my pay adjusted to the current market rate "for my own good" because apparently i'd find it more stressful to do the exact same job for more money.

I can't quit right now cos I'm trying to have a baby and need the full maternity benefits you get after +2 years service.

My job is actually pretty good, most of the time. Once my work is finished, they usually let me leave early, but recently they've started asking me to stay longer to help other departments which is kind of annoying. This isn't too bad though, considering my shifts are only 5 hours. Now this also means I don't make a whole lot of money, but I value my free time. I think that life isn't worth living if you can't enjoy your free time, and spend all your time working.

I am thankfully in a pretty unique position where I don't have to worry about money too much so I can do this without too much financial strain. If things get too bad and I start hurting for money, I can simply stop leaving early and schedule myself for 6 shifts instead of 5 (a full 30 hours as opposed to 18-20 hours a week). I can do this because I am the most senior worker in my position and I am also at the top of my pay scale.

Not a bad gig considering my job is piss-easy. I am an e-Commerce Clerk.

The only real annoyance comes with having loud, obnoxious coworkers who like to sing out of tune along with the shitty music played over the PA system, and one coworker who not only has the most shrill voice and annoying laugh, but also will laugh at literally everything. And then, there's my immediate co-workers. One who is incredibly slow and makes stupid mistakes, the other one who is fast but incredibly careless, and 3 others who are slow but don't often make mistakes. None of them even come close to my level of overall skill, despite having worked there almost as long as I have. I am the best worker in my department because not only am I very fast but I'm also careful to double check everything and not make mistakes; basically, I have the productivity of two relatively competent workers. It's really frustrating to not have co-workers who operate on your level.

I plan to stick it out at this job for another 15-20 years, whereupon I'll sell this house, split the profits with my brother, buy a new house outright in Idaho, and transfer to the same position in a different store owned by the same parent company. One of the perks of working for a giant corporation who is currently in the process of merging with another.

My actual line manager type boss is really very decent so I can’t complain there.
The work is too stressful and too much. The last few projects i came off I was replaced by between 2-4 people after being told I wasn’t overworked. The actual company is a gigantic corporation that seems to be headed down the route of treating us all even more like numbers (I know we are all numbers, and always have been, but there was previously at least a polite veneer of humanity.) covid fucked all that.
Example of workplace stupidity: they marked mental health day by sending an email out telling us our mental health is important and we should all attend a seminar on it. Now the main cause of mental health issues is burnout and overwork so attending a stupid seminar telling us to be happy about it isn’t much fun. But the real kicker was the time options. Would I like to attend at 5am or midnight UK time? Lovely.
I want to retire but I’m too young so I remain part of the medical industrial complex
 
I love my job, but I hate my boss.

I make $15 per hour, he makes $50 for every lesson he schedules me for, and lessons are half an hour. So for every $100 he makes... I make $15, if that kid shows up that week. I would be okay with this if he was upfront about what that $85 goes towards.

He's also just forgotten to pay me at times, and has fucked over my schedule without any warning. He told me they were just changing for a make-up lesson, but they came in at their normal lesson times, when I didn't have anyone scheduled. I had to sus out from this that two of my kids were changing permanently, and their parents had been wanting to for a long time. He never told me they wanted the switch, and he never told me that the parents wanted the switch. I flat-out told him I was mad at him for that, and he kept trying to fucking blame the parents, until I told him that it was his fault for not clarifying this. He's the one who scheduled these, he needs to be clear about this shit.

He said I ask the kids to practice too much, and that asking for 15 minutes every night was too much. I clarified that I asked the kids for at least 5 minutes, but that didn't matter. After that, he introduced a new app that'll help kids practice more.

He wants this stupid fucking app to do everything that I'm already doing on paper. I track when the kids come in, I hand them paper copies of the stuff we work on, everything! Kids don't need more screens and apps in their fucking lives!!

And on top of that, he wants me to do video lessons, and when I questioned how he would know if a kid did the lesson... He said there was a progress bar that the other teachers and I would see. He's considering offering a gift card reward to whichever kid practiced the most.

There's a lot. But I'm trying not to get too deep in.

This isn't getting into parents, either.

The kids are good, though. I can't be mad at literal children. Most of them are good, and some of them are really funny, but it hurts to care so much about them when my boss sucks this much fucking shit-covered cock.
