i recommend doing rest-and-vest while staying out of PIP and having a random startup ping you on linkedin for a new cool job with a big raise.

i assume vesting is something involving stock options or other benefits i don't get as a ten year employee of this hellscape

funny you mention that


my place, which is not at all hurting for money or in danger of going under at this point, has "forgotten" to pay me for the last month


i wish i could find work doing what i actually enjoy that paid decently. i like troubleshooting and debugging poo poo (see also this), everything these days seems like bullshit javascript web apps

wtf how have they not figured that out and why are you still working there? people not getting paid should be a “we’ll get it fixed by EOD” not a “eh we’ll get to it eventually”

because this place is run by morons and i'm an even bigger idiot for continuing to be here.


the reason behind this appears to be:

- mid-march: i ask my manager if i can take a month-plus or so off unpaid to handle some real-life poo poo (and mostly not work)
- manager suggests filing for disability leave due to mh / stress / etc issues
- i go on "leave" with a form filled out saying i will be out from march whenever to may 1
- their automated claim bullshit denies my leave because i did not submit paperwork that i did not have
- somehow i get a proper paycheck may 13th
- no paychecks since
- "oh hr sees this as an attendance issue because it was denied but i'm wroking on fixing it so you get your pay"


the place i work for isn't some tiny startup that's in the process of failing, it's a large corporation run by morons. the only reason i continue to put in time is because i am reasonably sure that in the very near future this will be fixed





Jonny 290 posted:

you hosed up

yes

im dead serious OP if you need $100 to cover the light bill i will venmo as long as you stop working here IMMEDIATELY

stop fixing their dumpster fires for free

you are in a company that is fragging out

i'm aware i've hosed up. i hosed up by staying here for this long, i hosed up by continuing to work here, etc.

it's always easy to say just quit or leave or whatever, but i have zero recent job interview experience, my resume is years out of date, etc. i basically got into this slump and rather than get out of it i continue to sink into the quicksand.





part of the reason is that i just got a hospital bill from april that, with my health insurance, has cost me about $150 total so far.

the cost without any insurance at all was $30,000.

i guess to me it just seems like more of a "we have five layers of hr bullshit because of the size and age of our company and this is a clerical error" rather than a "we are not paying you intentionally" and it seems like this is a problem that is being fixed, and for me if i play along with it for a week and get everything fixed then great, if i decide to peace out and say "i'm not working until i have my pay in my hand right now" then maybe i get fired and i absolutely won''t get paid.

it's a lovely situation and i'm an idiot for even letting myself get into this, yes

lol my wife's landlord did that too. her security deposit was one a half months rent and he kept all of it. he claimed he had to tear up all the carpet (didn't say why) and paint all the walls (should do that anyway) and he wanted to meet with her to convince her to pay him more

somehow i got lucky and the last two places we moved out of refunded our security deposit in full despite definitely not leaving the apartment in the best of conditions. i'm assuming that our current place is just going to eat it, though. i don't even remember what we paid.

whenever I tell people I will never be able to afford a house and they go "oh it's not that bad" I just point out to them that my dad bought his house for $180k when he was my age and it's currently assessed at $1.7 million. literally almost an order of magnitude in a little under 30 years.

the rent in my apartment went up from ~$1250 when i moved in 6 years ago to ~$1900+ now, and this is after a decent amount of the desert around here has had new apartments built everywhere


my aunt/uncle owned a home in one of those gated communities.

they bought it in 2001 for $222,995.
they sold it in 2019 for $560,000.
zillow estimates it at $866,400.

lol.


looked up my grandpa's place, since, well.



estimated $50k in 2001 to over $300k+.
