Just Quit

With the older generation needing more and more care as they go into the late stages of life, I see all of these positions for CNA’s and PCA’s (Personal Caregiver). I took a part time job here in the pan handle as a PCA working under a third party company in home health care. Holy…. Shit…. So I told them I’m getting my bachelor’s degree and I’m in my final year so things are getting tough. My availability was 3 days a week due to this. The first week I was scheduled, they put me on 6 STRAIGHT days in a row. When I called the scheduler about this, she didn’t understand the issue as I was still only scheduled for the 3 days a week that I asked for… Ok, learned my lesson there and after saying I literally would not be able to do almost a week straight…

Manager Retaliating against Harrassment Case?

Hi there. I'm a little surprised I can't seem to find more information or first-hand accounts of this on reddit. Long story short, I spoke to my closest coworker in confidence about another coworker harrassing me but they ended up getting reported to hr against my wishes. When my manager was notified, he lashed out, saying I framed him as negligent, even though that was not my intention. Since then, the manager has been retaliating. I don't want to go into great detail to preserve my anonymity, but he has gone out of his way to reject things along the lines of sick leave, promotions, bereavement leave, lunch breaks, etc., along with extreme micromanaging and yelling at me in the office. I enjoy my company and am looking to see if other opportunities are available, but am seeking advice on 1. How to handle retaliation and 2. Internal transfers without…

My employer had me write a resignation letter, and then they fired me.

Texas F(24) – My employer had determined I was not the best fit for the roll, and told me that they would continue to support me until I found another opportunity, and would adjust my schedule based on interviews I was to have. I agreed, and let them know how thankful I was for their support. Monday I had a few interviews, and Tuesday (yesterday) I had a medical appointment for an MRI. I upon returning to work this morning, I had received an email stating they needed me to write a resignation letter for their records. I wrote the letter and sent it, and included my separation date was to be determined. An hour later, they pulled me into their office and fired me.. I’ve never been let go from any job I’ve ever had, so I’m unsure how to process this. I’m pretty sure that’s a shitty thing…

I am an intern at a company, I was told I was useless and annoying

I got this internship for my university degree, which I'm not payed or anything. I work along my cleagues in a small team and a mentor. And yesterday people needed to log their timetables of work, obvious the people that help and work woth did less if their job due to the nature of helping me. They decided to give me a task above my paygrade/knowledge, gave me a week and yesterday I had a review. Bare in mind a family member of mine died last Friday. The dude spent 10 minutes insulting me (I was crying) for my work and than they told my internship supervisor that I was brothering everyone else. I am so fucking ready to give up.

Employee Appreciation Day! Let’s all share what our grateful employers so generously gave us this year to show that appreciation.

We got one free piece of company swag of our choosing! Less than 15% of employees participated in selecting an item and they don't know why. They thought we must have forgotten so the sent a reminder to choose and extended the deadline for submission. We don't wear uniforms and these items are only ever used as free shit for client visits which haven't happened much over the last 2 years cuz COVID and we have a contract for a certain amount per year sooooo…. they're just trying to free up space in the warehouse.

Robotic people

Looks like they like people to be in line ..act exactly how they want to you act. Move when they ask you to. You can't work how you want to work except how they have imagined UT in their lil brain. 1+3=4 But I could use 2+2 and still get 4. But they want you to stick with the former. Have ya'll ever worked in an environment do controlled that you feel sick of it ?!

My job replaced me with 5 people

I just left my current job of six years. Last January I applied and got a supervisor role which would put me on a team of 3 other sups (large client). Instead without any heads up they shifted that role to have me on-board two completely new clients by myself. This meant establishing processes, creating build documents, essentially becoming the first point of contact for information and escalations, and being at the clients beck and call. Immediately I knew I would need lower and upper management to be assigned to these clients as the workload was becoming unmanageable. Every time I asked, the canned response would be “0h, we are working on it.” Or “It's in the pipeline.” I started my new position in January 2021, and quickly burnt myself out by August. By this time they assigned me a lead tech, but the need to be “on” 100% of…

My brother (brib) is basically running the whole shop he works at because everyone’s quitting. It was then I made a stunning realization.
