Hell we had an incident where they forced 3 guys to work from 8am to 3am the next day and then DEMANDED the same people show up to work at 8am or be fired. I hope you find something better for you and the fam.

What's a pain in the ass, is I've held management positions in 5 Fortune 15 companies.


I really don't want to take 30-40K a year.

anything less than 42k is under $20 an hour.


I use to make 80-120k a year at these other companies. I get starting over, but you aren't getting an entry level employee so why should I take entry level pay?

(Oct 20, 2023 01:55 PM)Laughing Man Wrote:  You get hired at Tier 1 and given Tier 3 responsibilities in the month, and promise the pay will come at yearly review where you are given 2-8% and expected to be "HAPPY" for it.
