"Everyone should be in a much better place once our weekly mental health sessions begin". We had an all hands meeting and a lot of us addressed some real concerns we have with the way the company functions, and it didn't feel great to be in the bathroom and here our VP tell someone that mental health session were gonna fix the issues. Like the issues are all with us, and not with the company. Leadership really does see the rest of us little pawns they can move around to see what works. I'm frustrated and it's only 8:30AM!! This is why you don't come to work early.

Hate to be the one to start an argument but at least they care enough to offer mental health resources. I know a lot of poeple in my company would really benefit from something like that and even though I've suggested and pushed for it multiple times, leadership doesn't want to allocate the money and resources to make it happen. I'd look at the bright side and be happy they care to make a change.

Anyone voicing anything that indicates that they can't perform their job (for whatever reason) is putting their head in a guillotine and ringing the bell for service. Never forget that you are only considered as a tool for the company to use. Nothing more. The day that you can't do your job you're gone. You'll be just another name on a Word doc or wiki entry that vanishingly few people can put a face to.

Telling everyone to come in early to the office for something not even work related is definitely not a good thing for mental health. Hopefully some good snacks were provided…

So, I’m interviewing for a position that fits perfectly, HR likes my profile, had great conversations with them. Today I had a Panel interview with HR and the hiring manager. The manager is not experienced, it’s her first r manager role and she’s been in it for 3 months. I was prepared but was out of breath the entire interview, had a knot in my throat, had trouble finding my words. It’s like I had PTSD when this manager came into the picture. Ever had that?

Thoughts on “special” salary grades. I just found out the VP I was offered is not a grade 12 like most comparable roles (verified). Also not an 11, but an 11A. Slightly higher than an 11, a good bit lower than a 12. All due to the fact that it’s a leap from my current position. Why should that matter…..shouldn’t it pay what it should pay if I am selected, rather that curving down towards my current rate?
