When Employees realize what climbing up corporate ladder means 🤣

[@coreytaylor5386]

"congratulations! you are promoted to manager and now have to be at work and available 24/7, supervise everyone, have your neck on the line if anything goes wrong! it comes with a 50 cent pay raise!"

[@shishoka]

Meanwhile, I the US: "Congratulations! You have been hired to an entry level position at our company. We schedule you for 10-12 hours a week and, if you are competent enough, hold you accountable for the mistakes of everyone else around you including supervisors at least two levels above you. Also, don't even think about getting a second job to supplement your income because we need you available 24/7 to provide us with those 10-12 hours a week... if we're feeling generous, peasant." Seriously, companies need to stop acting like we're in a "late-stage capitalism" since the term was invented by a Marxist trying to explain capitalism.

[@charles8601]

There's a management position at my job that has been unfilled for over a YEAR because no one wants all that extra responsibility for a 50 cent raise lmao And I was hired to take on one of the employees responsibilties so that he could take the position, despite the fact that he had no intention of taking it, and didn't.

Nah capitalism is banned. What we have is the death of competition through regulation causing mega monopolies that are essentially government mandated. Since no competition exists companies can be as abusive as possible and nobody can resist due to them having absolute power in an area.

[@traveller23e]

@@oceanbytez847 What specific regulations favor mega monopolies? I often hear about not enough regulation being an issue but haven't heard that so it sounds interesting

[@robjdtv]

@@traveller23e I think it's that most smaller companies can't afford to keep up with all the increasing regulations like the giants can, so they're forced out of the competition and this leaves the giants with even more of a monopoly.

My husband turned down a promotion to manager because it would have meant more hours and a major hourly pay cut. He works night shift with a differential and he's got seniority and promoting to management would have gotten rid of all of that.

[@junglekutz5625]

I think a lot of companies will put folk through such ringers because the average person wants to be in some kind of position that puts them in control. Truth be told, I personally don’t see the point of needing to do any of the above. Especially if the individuals are petty, uneducated, lack vision, sight, good judgment and the likes. As all that you’re actually doing is baby sitting pests. Good companies, tend to hire responsible people that are managed by mature minds. If the folk that said manager is suppose to manage, is managing him or her………..he or she is really just going through the motions. Something you can see in how serious they are when it comes to making sound decisions as well as getting things done,

[@ege8240]

[@curtisthornsberry4236]

I remember working with a woman who got promoted to manager. I asked her what it was like making more money. I learned how salary worked that day, and that as the go-to employee who worked overtime I was actually the highest earner below the regional manager. But she now worked way more hours than even me and had way more responsibility.

[@RoughThief]

Yeah, tried that, still got dragged upwards by force, so I ended up having to leave a job I really liked. They're still looking for a volunteer (sacrifice) a year later.

[@reecespbcups]

💯 I’m good here; they (higher ups) get so annoyed and frustrated with u and the happier you are in ur position the more frustrated and vengeful they get. DOCUMENT WITH NAME TIME & DATE EMAIL TO YOURSELF AND RECORD WHERE APPLICABLE 👀👏👏👏🙌🙏🕊

[@junglekutz5625]

Had a kook constantly trying to pretend like he was concerned about how I felt with the job thus far. So I responded, same shit, different day. You would have thought that he would go away after hearing that……..but no. He is the type that believes that he knows how to engage and “deal” with everyone. Often times doing and saying inappropriate things that’s meant to either intimidate or make you feel scared or insecure. Personally I find such presumption to be extremely forward and antagonizing……but it seems like his need to peg and provoke at will, is more important than using common and obvious sense.

[@kaydenstuff]

My mom used to be a manager (food manager for an ice rink concession stand) and she ended up basically getting her wages stolen, when you did the math based on how many hours she was working, it came out to like $9 an hour because she NEVER ended up working below 45. Usually at least 50 or more. 10-12 hour shifts every time and during events it would come out to more than 60. The company ALSO broke the law by accepting pandemic business loans they didn't need AND allowing private parties despite being nonessential. Shout out to Skate Zone ✨

[@AlexN5597]

As someone who started in Maintenance and spend 6 years climbing to a Supervisory position in a different department...only to get fired for "not getting along" with the HR manager, I can tell you it's 100% not worth it to play that game 😑

[@grimreaper63151]

Yeah that’s how it felt when I got promoted at dollar general from a standard employee to LSA. 50 cent pay raise, way more stress and responsibilities. And on top of that, if your working at the store with a normal employee as an LSA YOU are the manager on duty. Which means you get to also handle returns and after to deal with angry customers and all this other bs, should it arise. The promotion wasn’t worth it tbh. I regret taking it. It’s basically the exact same experience as when I was a normal employee except slightly higher pay and way more responsibilities. This was honestly a mistake

[@kap4020]

This is why many tech workers wanna stay on the technical side of things instead of the "promotion" to management. In IT, managers, generally, managers have to get paid more because no one wants that crap job, unless you're new, or naive, or power hungry.

[@christhiancosta1844]

Tbf the model isn't at all sustainable Like, people are living longer and the more ambitious are going to clog the high positions so new people won't really be able to climb It's not like people are able to buy houses and have families either way, so why bother?

I qualify for a promotion if I’d just apply for it (quite a few of us do in my workplace) but it doesn’t seem to be something a lot of us care for. Not saying it would be 100% for anyone who does, there’s still an interview process of course but again, most of us just don’t seem to care. We make enough to get by plus a little extra and everyone’s just kinda hanging out lol

[@MarcinWojtczuk]

Aaah climbing the ladder is such a carrot. But managers know this, and they suggest you might get a promotion just to get you trying. I'm 46 and already scammed like this 3rd time now. Leader tasks, clearly stating I'm a tech lead but no rise, no actual promotion, no areas of decission/responsibility - just more non-technical tasks delegated to me from actual manager. Veronica is right, just don't do it. Especially if this is not the first time. I might not be simply clever enough to be manager if I allow exploiting myself this way. Managers need to be cunny, clever, lazy and resilliant - but I was naive, stupid, engaged and overstressed. I would not promote a sucker like me either.

[@s0nnyburnett]

There's no climbing the ladder beyond a few rungs anymore. No degree? No management position for you, no matter how good you are with productivity or customers. Shouldn't need a bachelors to be a manager at a department store. The people at the top do not want people at the bottom mingling with them.
