Month: February 2022

Original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/antiwork/comments/swlkfs/i_was_hired_at_a_grocery_store_i_am_a_long_term/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share So six days after I got that supremely confusing letter, I got a call from HR explaining that I was suspended, and to call a different HR person to beg for my job back. At the time I had my fingers in a few different pies, but nothing concrete, so I decided to at least TRY to get my job back so I could keep working until I was able to find something better. I got an interview with a restaurant one day before I got the call from HR, but that ended up being truly horrible. I'm guessing the restaurant owner saw “long term recovering addict” in my cover letter and took that as an opportunity to just be really mean to me. Because when I went to interview, he just treated me like shit. Claimed that I wasn't a worthy candidate for his precious restaurant…

So, my step daughter worked for a local pizza joint for the last 6 months for $11/hour. She found a new gig and that company asked her to start asap. After going back and forth about whether to give two weeks or not, she decided to quit without a notice due to the fact that the employees were treated so poorly by the manager. She wasn't scheduled to work for almost a week, so there would be plenty of time for her manager to find someone to cover her shifts. When she informed her manager (a 30+ year old woman) she immediately began berating her about how unprofessional she was for not giving notice. Using emojis. Over snapchat. She went to school this morning and a friend who was on a group chat with this manager and coworkers showed her some messages from this manager, referring to her as a…

Hey guys. I started my new job on the 8th of February, but prior to my first official day of training, my boss told me to come in to the office on two different occasions: the first time was to fill out paperwork and to have an ID card set up and the second time was to have my work email set up. It took up about two hours of my time total, which I know sounds insignificant, but I do expect to be paid for my time, even if I'm not really “working”. I have to email her my hours for last week as I haven't been on site to log my own hours yet (training was all done from home). Would it be petty of me to include those dates and times in the email as well? EDIT: it should say “date”, not “dates” in the title.

I got a voicemail Sunday at 5pm offering to set up an interview for a minimum wage customer service job. I am a recent college graduate so I am looking both in my field and for something to make money until I do find a job in my field. For this particular business I have decades of experience with their products. I called the store back at the opening of the business on Monday. I was told all positions had already been filled, but if I'm still looking in May they'll give me a call. I told them to lose my resume.

title says it all after some bad turn of events in my life i have been basically going on auto pilot and just going through the motions. i feel that i need some time just to my self turn off the phone and just do something for myself. before all of this i havent used any sick days before and have really only missed 2 days in the last few months. even my psychiatrist is suggesting me taking at least a week off and my boss literally just laughed in my face and told me that he cant give me any more time off even though i had previously had a supposed guaranteed 2 weeks off before but since then had to cancel.

If you've ever worked in enterprise sales, it's not uncommon to not know your commission structure on the first day of the fiscal year. Yet, here I am about to start Month 3 without knowing my payment structure.
