MYTH: Unions protect the lazy and incompetent.

FACT: No union contract will shield workers from fair and logical consequences. You're just as likely to have a "deadweight" coworker in a nonunion job.

Is it just me, or is it common for former union bosses who go into corporate management to have an inherent inclination try to treat their employees the same way they would treat their employer in their previous role? Anyone else have a similar experience?

Who would you want to include in your union? Which levels would be exempt? E-suite? G-suite? Directors aren't managers—or are yours? Who makes final decisions and who has to just live with them?

Where could I go to request a national union to bring a representative to my SD, anonymously?

I'm a VP at Union Bank, which just got acquired by US Bank. I work in quantitative analysis. I think by salary is a bit below market for a VP ($120K). Obviously I'd love to make more. Have those of you at heard of any discussions about raises?

Separately, what is a normal salary for that role at US Bank?

Freelance comedy director recos? Non-union. Not looking for a prod co, just a director. Dialogue, quirky performance, not obnoxious or physical comedy. Ideally looking for someone with musical elements on their reel. Thanks!

Northern Credit Union

Anyone here work in consumer lending with a credit union? Interested in discussing pay structures to see how my credit Union compares.

I’ve been on my job 16 years and been in a very toxic work environment over 3 years now. I find that some unions make things hard just to do it. I am very burned out and tired of a toxic work environment. Is private sector a bit different? I've considered that!

My bonus this year was patently absurd, so I used a bit on some heat: AMM 3s, Parra Air Max 1, and the black Union 4s. Hate to let the resellers win. But at the same time I worked my ass off and wanted some kicks lmao

Should we create a union? Honestly we need one! No more third parties handling our contracts!

Any PA’s in the Union County, NJ area looking for a new job? I work with 3 Neurosurgeons and we are looking to hire an additional PA. Currently have 2 staffed.

So my admin called me (I am a Behavior teacher) in and told me that it was my fault that 3 of my students are failing 3 classes. They refuse to do the work in or out of school. When they are in my room, they work. Outside of that they refuse. It sounds to me that they are choosing to fail. I have no control over what they do/don not do outside of school. The Gen. Ed. teachers are not at fault so it has to be me. I teach behavior not academics. Frustrating.

Assistant branch manager position at a credit union- what is your hourly rate?

While most teachers are protected by teacher unions, I feel my voice hasn’t been heard at all with my concerns of going back to school next week. Our diocese has decided on full return 5 days/ week for all 42 schools despite a recent increase in COVID in our communities. Every other school that I know of in my state is either choosing remote learning to start the year or a hybrid approach, yet that was not an option for us. Are other Catholic schools I. The same boat? Stay safe!

Hi fishes

I have two offers :-
1. Publicis Sapient - 13 LPA CTC (AL2)
2. Luxoft - 13 LPA CTC (Software Engineer)

Both are Permanent WFH offers for the profile of a Core Java developer.

I am confused about which company will be better for growing my career?

Recently I have heard bad things about Publicis, that they have a long bench time and bad work life balance.

Hi everyone! I’m a master’s student in Switzerland, and I’m currently abroad interning at Deloitte AKA working 14h a day for no pay 🙃 just to get a job back in Switzerland
I currently have a couple of “almost” job offers, and I’m going back soon and meeting the employers to talk about logistics including work permit.

Are there non-Europeans here that have gone through the work permit process in Switzerland that can answer a couple of questions?

I would really appreciate it.

Given two candidates competent at basics you're looking for, would you rather hire a candidate that...
1. brings up relevant topics beyond what you're "really" hiring for, but can't answer in depth follow up questions
2. sticks to the basics they know

Asking because I feel like it's pretty typical interview advice to do #2, but then that doesn't seem to reconcile with wanting ambitious and eager to learn hires. Thoughts?

Received an offer letter and it didn’t include a signing bonus. Is it too late to ask for one? If not, how do I frame the conversation? Never had to ask for one and I’m not quite sure how to approach it. TIA!

Anyone working for lineage Logistics? I just want to understand more about the company. Thanks.

Bookkeeping: how do you do it? How complex are your books? How much does it cost/how do you like it?

The first things you need to organize your workplace are a full staff list and an org chart (title hierarchy). If those don't already exist, you can make them.

Work on yours this week!

Who would you want to include in your union? Which levels would be exempt? E-suite? G-suite? Directors aren't managers—or are yours? Who makes final decisions and who has to just live with them?

Reminder that if you sell your labor to live, you're part of the working class. The "middle class" was invented (by people like us) to target subjective differences in lifestyle based on income.

"The real inconvenient truth is not just that there is environmental pollution, which there certainly is, but that there is also social pollution. The work hours that companies are demanding of...”

It's been a busy couple of weeks at my workplace. Have you all been keeping your heads above water?

So it seems that for us to unionize as an industry, it’s gotta start with the majority of workers at one shop. Who is goin first?

Rumors that an NYC-based PR company may be in the midst of organizing. They'd be the first in our industry, but still no advertising agencies yet!
