A community for the fans and critics of the show 30 Rock.

Discussion of the show, pictures from the show and anything else 30 Rock related.

Rules:

  1. All DubVee instance rules apply. See the sidebar at https://dubvee.org. Those are pretty comprehensive, so we don't really need to add much to those.
  2. No politics outside of what's referenced on the show. Let's leave that drama elsewhere since there's plenty of it.
  3. All posts must be 30 Rock related or adjacent. You dummies are awesome, so I don't think I've ever had to mod any posts for this, but codifying it for good measure.
  4. Less a rule and more of a guideline, but please try to provide alt text if your instance + client combination support it. If not, then please try to make an effort to provide a description of any image posts in the post body. Let's be an a11y when we can :)
  5. Don't make fun of people for misusing dated cultural references. Are we all cowabunga on this?
  6. No talking about Krang. It would be a waste of time to talk about Krang on ~~television~~ the internet.

I'm on a team of three and the two other ppl both quit in the same week a few months back. I am no longer breaking my back trying to cover for 2 extra FTEs. I'm taking Fridays off work every week from now until 2025 and the entire two weeks from before Christmas through New Years. I didn't take any time off work for like 3 months, I'm stressed out, tired, and cranky, they haven't hired anyone, they ignored my preferred candidate we interviewed for one position, and they won't even post the 2nd until 2025 at the earliest. Fuck it

When people around you start to quit, it's probably best to look for another job.

But yeah, if you are the only person remaining, you have more power to make the company demand less of you (I'd go for more organized demands for the same amount of work, not for less work). Ask for more. It's not like they can do anything about it.

Yep I actually asked them to pay for a $2500 certification and they did which includes 4 full workdays of training, so I'm pretty stoked about that. The training will skill me up so I can help with some extra work they need help with. It's a decent place to work overall but I am open to an opportunity if one shows up

Yeah I'd like up other interviews, and ask for a big raise and a "lead" position.

[–] Anticorp@lemmy.world 6 points 3 weeks ago

For the same pay! It's perfect for me.

This is happening to my father's engineering team, but a dude DIED. I will say, though, my father's the project lead and came in to fill in. He didn't reallocate the work. I know he's an outlier. I'm proud of him. He works with switches/ semi-conductors. It's high pressure for chip engineers rn, but he still came in. I will admit, though, that my father has largely been absent from my/ my siblings' life as a result.
