    am I the only one who feels like to their job your just a number? Like your job doesn’t care about you. I work 2 jobs. No choice because I work at red lobster and for about a month I was getting 6 hours a week because “we just aren’t busy.” So I got a second job. My second job I wouldn’t say I love it but it’s tolerable. Red lobster seems like they don’t care. I walked in to find out someone quit last night. My manager literally had the whatever attitude. I’ve always felt fight for your employees, show them you value them. Heard their yanking the guy off my Saturday night and putting him in her quit position. It’s just me. Others have quit and it became sorry it’s just you.

    So my question is how long until you said enough is enough?!

    Mate if you don't like your job at Red Lobster quit it and do something else.

    It’s more that they don’t care about their employees. I believe if someone quits talk to them. Find out if the problem can be fixed. One person quitting affects many people

    Depends where you work, but no not for me though my industry is tourism and hospitality I guess.

    Working for a big company in an office I can easily see how that may be felt that way, you're really just a working ant at that point and I don't believe big corporations particularly care about their individuals.

    The best thing you can do is just go to work, work and come home and live your life. Don't take your work home with you, it's not worth it and find something you actually enjoy doing, even if it is for work. Slaving all day doing something you don't even like will compound your problem.

    I hope you feel better about your situation soon. Just remember, you don't get paid enough to care as much as you think you should.

    my job cares like hell about me. i do most of the work, and then my boss runs around town taking personal credit for everything i do. without me, he would actually have to do work himself, and he wouldn't have time to tell all his buddies that he's doing all the work that's getting done.

    i've been looking for better work elsewhere for about a year now, but in my field you either work in the city or you work in bumfuck egypt, and there's no moving from one to the other. so i'm stuck in bumfuck for the rest of my life.

    There are a few small enterprise run by peers who respect each other and share profits.

    If you don't work for one of those, than you work somewhere which doesn't appreciate you enough. It'll just be a matter of degree.

    My advice is to put yourself in a stronger negotiating position by learning new skills.

    I had a problem with a job at one time. It was an office job, and I felt that I would never really shine. I wasn't going to live up to my potential there and I eventually decided to move on.

    Quietly let the people he talks to know that you are working for him. Even in Bum Fuck Egypt its only possible to negotiate from a position of knowledge.

    I worked in an Amazon warehouse once and they managed to make me feel like I was an individual who mattered. So if they can do it any company should be able to.

    I live across the street from their headquarters, where they just celebrated automating their entire company, and moving to Crystal City so they can share their drones with the Pentagon. Sadly, you are correct and they made their employees feel like human beings. It is already possible to replace every bureaucrat in DC with AI, but nobody is even willing to admit that the money itself is deciding everything and even Wall Street will soon be run by computers. Computers running Wall Street to produce AI and robots to replace all their investors. Terminator bots are replacing stock market traders first, because governments no longer matter and its easy for them to fake traders who are not terribly human to begin with.

    Send you tax deductible charitable contribution to "Let Them Eat Virtual Cake!" Our glorious leader was elected by 300 million people who have been voting for whoever advertises the most for over twenty years, he has never paid taxes in all that time, was elected against the wishes of his own party leaders, and cut the mass media a deal on their rent. The idea any clown in town has a clue as to what's going down is absurd. Their response to the threat was to invest a trillion dollars in AI last year alone.

    Yeah, but this one is what's technically known as a singularity, and is not merely technological. Information from the future is normalizing the present, as humanity approaches the turning point, when all will be revealed. The result is similar to a pot of water boiling or puberty. Asian terminators have a sense of humor, because the collective unconscious rules the universe.

    the people that matter know how shit actually gets done. it's actually kind of fun to joke about with those people.

    it's not like i want his job, so i don't care too much as far as that goes.

    He who dies with the most toys wins. The issue for capitalist is avoiding becoming a loser, by throwing their own babies on the bayonets if necessary.

    The has been true since the 80's. The markets have been rules by bots for like 30 years.

    Black Monday (1987) - Wikipedia

    AI isn't magic. Automation as a whole will shale up the workplace and replace many jobs, but AI is just a set of algorithms that can change output based on the validity of results.

    That's the grossest understatement I've ever heard. It is already estimated AI can replace every bureaucrat in DC, Amazon has already automated their entire workforce and moved next door to the Pentagon so they can share drones. Some 40% of all Wall Street transactions are now handled by computers, which are owned by the international conglomerates, the same people who put the entire world in debt with nothing more than blue smoke and mirrors. People have been conditioned to be such sheep they will likely starve to death before doing more than complaining.
