<div>Yeah, I've had enough. I'm employed buy a huge multi-national computer manufacturer as a software engineer. I'd hope to be laid off with a severence package - but apparantly they like me enough for me to completly fuck up a project, work at home a whole year spending about 20 minutes each day doing work vs. sleeping or whatever, to give me a satisfactory review!!! <br/> <br/>I'm smart enough to know intimately how computers work... I'm smart enough to meet my needs without selling my life away on an installment plan. <br/> <br/>So I just stopped coming into work ala Office Space. Originally I was just going to quit... but that's dumb. My paycheck stops as soon as I quit. If I let them fire me, then the wheels of corporate beauacracy must first slowly turn before the paycheck stops. <br/> <br/>Anyone have suggestions on losing your job? <br/> <br/>Note: I'm thankful to have a great deal of savings so that I really do not have to work - providing I can live without cable TV and the JetSki that's been sitting in my garage for over a year now... and other absurd things. (Do I, 2 cats and 2 chinchillas really need a 1500 sq ft 3br/2ba home for $1500 a month house payment????)</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://wageslave.tribe.net">wage slaves</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>I work for a non-profit agency. The woman I work for is an old librarian that is a control freak and I can't stand her. I was approached to interview for another position in the agency. Almost two weeks after the interview I was offered the job. During the time between the interview and the offer, I decided against taking the job. I went to tell the HR person today and was surprised that he was trying to talk me into taking the job. I asked him if the librarian knew about this and he said "yes". He said that he called her from CA (he was out of town for a seminar) to tell her. He waited until he returned before he offered the job to me (an hour before I left for the day last Friday). I hit the roof telling him that he shouldn't have told her before I had made my decision. He said that it was "the polite and professional" thing for him to do. WTF??! If I stay in the current job she'll make my life a living hell. I don't want the other job - I just want OUT of the NPO! I already told the manager I interviewed with that I don't like the whole working place or my current job. What would you do? </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://wageslave.tribe.net">wage slaves</a> - 0 replies </div>

<div>Take note, saucy little Taco Bell Chihuahua. Farmworkers in Florida who pick tomatoes that wind up on the fast-food giant's menu are fed up with backbreaking work at slave-labor wages. They're uniting with students in a new Southern labor movement that just might rival the anti-sweatshop protests that rocked sportswear manufacturers in the 1990s. <br/> <br/>http://www.corpwatch.org/news/PND.jsp?articleid=2648 <br/> <br/>Ugly</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://wageslave.tribe.net">wage slaves</a> - 1 reply </div>
