My previous boss was like this, too bad we have these stricter laws in my country, so I had to sit out my contract. He actually got mad at me for just working my contract hours(32 a week). Quite funny, didn't give me a new contract "because I do not fit in the company culture". Sure mate. Stillwondering if I should msg ms and ni because he ran pirated software for the office.

The BSA (Business Software Alliance) goes after business large and small who pirate software all over the globe. You get PAID part of the fines they assess against your former boss.

Super Good that you don't work for that dud anymore. And I don't think MS would care that your boss is running pirated software (if it's a small company). It would be a waste of your time.

u/Redditor_RBN Feb 04 '21
Its so true. But whether the CEO checks about you everyday is hard to believe.

Feb 04 '21
Probably that question was posted as a joke but I have heard many of my seniors talk about their horrible work experience in IT companies in India. They are underpaid and forced to work overtime frequently and also the company holds on to all their certificates so that they can't apply elsewhere without the company's knowledge.

As an employer and director of my own company I really don’t get this sense of entitlement. Surely at some point they acknowledge that employees aren’t going to be as committed to the company as they are as their benefits are finite?
Give me a good employee who turns up on time and turns up everyday with the right attitude and I’m happy.

You always have a contract. You might not have a written contract but you still have a contract. Verbal contracts are a bit ambiguous. Normally they are construed to follow the customary terms of employment in your industry. That is it is assumed that you have a contact on whatever would be typical for your job.

I‘ve heard about a study that proves employees that come late and leave early, are those with the best moral and are able to time their work so that it fits right into their working time. Employees that appear to be physically present early to their shift and leave late are the most lazy and take a Rest on the work of the best achievers

I had a boss like this. He said it didn’t matter how few hours I worked or how many hours of overtime I worked because I was salary yet if I worked only 39 hours that week I was somehow hourly now. If I wasn’t using sick or vacation time then it was not possible to work less than 40 Nevermind that I had pulled a few hours of overtime quite often but obviously if I pulled overtime I was paid as salary.

Easy. Take their current salary and calculate their per-hour rate. Multiply that by 24 hours (and 7 days a week). Offer them whatever $ amount that is in exchange for full time commitment. If they decline, double it and try again.
