‘That “free rewards” program everyone wants you to sign up for these days is not actually free. The company is selling your data to advertisers. That is where the real money comes from.’

‘Company loyalty hits your income.

Wife and I were at the same company for well over a decade. We earned well so never thought about it.
Come an event that made us look around for what ifs. Incomes practically doubled a year later as we started at new companies being paid market value.

Not getting paid well? Find a new company to work for. We were in the medical field so was a bit easy for us.’

‘No matter how you’re paid—salary or hourly—the company is always optimizing for its bottom line.
If they expect you to work 60 hours a week? Congratulations, you’re on a fixed salary—no overtime, no extra pay. If they need you for just 40 hours? Here’s your hourly wage—clock in, clock out, and no more.
It’s never about what’s fair. It’s about what’s most cost-effective for them.’

‘I don’t know about the hyperbole of losing millions, however most employees who have never been in management don’t realize how hard it is to find a good employee, so unless you’re in a high turnover job with a revolving door of low wage earners, your manager is more open to your needs than your manager lets on. Don’t be afraid to seek better working conditions, an out of cycle pay increase or even an internal transfer, if you’re any good at your job. Your manager is easier to replace than you are.’

‘Unlimited vacation benefits them vs. you. Vacation time is a liability on their books and get paid out to you if/when you leave. Unlimited vacation time removes that liability, saving them millions.

The policies typically say unlimited but at the discretion of the manager. Unless they are total rockstars, those who ask for or take a lot of vacation are often managed out for performance reasons.’
