You only give a raise after exceeding expectations. We also never give exceeds expectations.

[-] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 41 points 2 months ago

This is exactly why I'm so goddamn happy I'm in a union, we fought off the fucking cunts and won. Secured significantly better conditions and guaranteed raises for several thousand people all in one go. It was a pretty narrow vote though, they literally hired a guy to generate internal propaganda about how good getting a pay cut was going to be...

Were they peddling the tax bracket bullshit? "If you make more than $X, then you have to pay an extra Y% in taxes [but I'm not going to mention that that's only on amounts over $X]."

[-] Sasha@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 2 months ago

No nothing like that, they just offered the teeny tiniest little raises when we'd had 7+% inflation so our wages were effectively set back 2-3 years.

The ceo gave himself a $2 million bonus or something insane.

Imagine being that bustard. No shame

[-] Donkter@lemmy.world 27 points 2 months ago

Our expectation is that you exceed expectations. So good luck.

This what they told my wife when she was carrying 250% of the caseload her peers were. Boss rated her 3/5 and said that no one gets 5s.

2 of her coworkers doing less than half the work she did got rated 5.

It ain’t easy being grammar.

[-] Avg@lemm.ee 46 points 2 months ago

Sometimes the person telling you that during the interview is subtly telling you to run.

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 6 points 2 months ago

Yep!

At my last job, I was already jumping ship, but I was still part of the interview process. I used to give "hypotheticals" then say, "were holding what you say against you. No seriously. I'm not fucking kidding."

In the EU they will now have to post the salary range for a given position

[-] dQw4w9WgXcQ@lemm.ee 34 points 2 months ago

I applied for a dev position with a salary range with the higher end fitting my requirements. I checked off basically all of the boxes in the job announcement as I had worked as a consultant for that very company in that same position for several years prior. After interviewing rounds and a programming task, the interviewers were very happy with me and were eager to get me started. However, their offer was in the lower ~20% of the salary range. When I asked for the reason, I was told that they had to cut back costs, so they couldn't afford to pay me more.

So basically, the salary range was just bait to receive applications.

Intro software Dev

$38,000-$250,000

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Yeah I assume it will be that you have to have actual numbers, so if no junior software dev earns 250k then you can't post that as upper range, I tried to find info about it, but it turns out it's not EU regulation, only a directive so each member country will implement it's own exact version

Europe being based again just like always

[-] lord_ryvan@ttrpg.network 2 points 2 months ago

Companies not giving a f and countries (at least NL) not enforcing anything like always.

[-] henfredemars@infosec.pub 16 points 2 months ago

No wage. Only work.

[-] helloworld55@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

That's the way it works? Starting out, entry level job? Get entry level resposibilty, and entry level pay. Same for midlevel, and senior positions. But this breaks down once you get to the executives. It seems like the less experience you have, better pay

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

Where did you read this is for an entry level job?

[-] python@programming.dev 8 points 2 months ago

Idk how it is for other industries, but we Software Engineers usually get a system where the ranks are Junior, Regular and Senior.

Junior is the Entry level position, I've never seen a company around here be super unreasonable with the requirements. The max they ask for is some personal experience with some specific tech stacks and general willingness to learn new stuff. They know it's silly to ask for any work experience at that level and know that any hire will need quite a lot of support.

[-] Entropywins@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

I meant nowhere does the post imply entry level/junior all it's says is that starting pay won't be good, which could be senior starting pay is no good or junior starting pay is no good.

Lefty Memes

4489 readers
213 users here now

An international (English speaking) socialist Lemmy community free of the "ML" influence of instances like lemmy.ml and lemmygrad. This is a place for undogmatic shitposting and memes from a progressive, anti-capitalist and truly anti-imperialist perspective, regardless of specific ideology.

Serious posts, news, and discussion go in c/Socialism.

If you are new to socialism, you can ask questions and find resources over on c/Socialism101.

Please don't forget to help keep this community clean by reporting rule violations, updooting good contributions and downdooting those of low-quality!

Rules

Version without spoilers

0. Only post socialist memes


That refers to funny image macros and means that generally videos and screenshots are not allowed. Exceptions include explicitly humorous and short videos, as well as (social media) screenshots depicting a funny situation, joke, or joke picture relating to socialist movements, theory, societal issues, or political opponents. Examples would be the classic case of humorous Tumblr or Twitter posts/threads. (and no, agitprop text does not count as a meme)


1. Socialist Unity in the form of mutual respect and good faith interactions is enforced here


Try to keep an open mind, other schools of thought may offer points of view and analyses you haven't considered yet. Also: This is not a place for the Idealism vs. Materialism or rather Anarchism vs. Marxism debate(s), for that please visit c/AnarchismVsMarxism.


2. Anti-Imperialism means recognizing capitalist states like Russia and China as such


That means condemning (their) imperialism, even if it is of the "anti-USA" flavor.


3. No liberalism, (right-wing) revisionism or reactionaries.


That includes so called: Social Democracy, Democratic Socialism, Dengism, Market Socialism, Patriotic Socialism, National Bolshevism, Anarcho-Capitalism etc. . Anti-Socialist people and content have no place here, as well as the variety of "Marxist"-"Leninists" seen on lemmygrad and more specifically GenZedong (actual ML's are welcome as long as they agree to the rules and don't just copy paste/larp about stuff from a hundred years ago).


4. No Bigotry.


The only dangerous minority is the rich.


5. Don't demonize previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


We must constructively learn from their mistakes, while acknowledging their achievements and recognizing when they have strayed away from socialist principles.

(if you are reading the rules to apply for modding this community, mention "Mantic Minotaur" when answering question 2)


6. Don't idolize/glorify previous and current socialist experiments or (leading) individuals.


Notable achievements in all spheres of society were made by various socialist/people's/democratic republics around the world. Mistakes, however, were made as well: bureaucratic castes of parasitic elites - as well as reactionary cults of personality - were established, many things were mismanaged and prejudice and bigotry sometimes replaced internationalism and progressiveness.



  1. Absolutely no posts or comments meant to relativize(/apologize for), advocate, promote or defend:
