Month: March 2022

A little less than two months ago, I got a full time job that pays $20/hr. There was a month of training that didn’t go into very much depth, and then they sent me to another location to get my first week of work. That first week was awful, the customers were rude, the manager was rude, it didn’t seem worth it at all. I had hoped that putting my head down and getting through it would make it better. I made it through the week at the other location, though there were a lot of tears in the car rides home, and got back to my home location. It was supposed to be better, but all I’ve gotten is overworked, miscommunicated with, and the anger of my coworkers for not immediately knowing everything. Today was a really bad day, and I want to quit without notice, though I am…

I hate these stupid games corporations play. I have a specialized job with a certain hard to find skill set. I've been there 5 years so I asked for more money in October but HR said there's no money. So I asked for a senior title in December which I also didn't get. So I got a new job and my current job was able to counteroffer with the new Senior title along with $14,000 and 5% yearly bonus. Uh. Gee. Thanks. Where the hell were you a few months ago? Now they're fucked. It's gonna be so expensive to outsource my job until they find a viable candidate.

I bust(ed) my ass for my job. I make $20/hour and generate hundreds of thousands in revenue. I am by far the most productive on my team. My supervisor quit suddenly two years ago and I stepped up and took on a lot of her work for about eight months, including helping train the new boss. I didn’t complain. I didn’t get a raise, either. This year they increased the cost of our health insurance by $3000. They denied me a raise last year because of ??? (my evaluations are always great, but they said something something economy). This year they’re avoiding talking about it or my bonus. They also denied me a promotion to a different job with more money because I’m “too good” at my current job, and instead gave it to an outside hire. In response, I’ve basically stopped working. I WFH and we don’t have those…

I’m so glad I don’t have to trudge through Boomer work politics (at least not in person). All the small talk, not being given credit for work, and passive aggressiveness. I feel like all the VPs that live and breathe work politics (boot lickers) want the underlings to come back into the office.

I (M18) was working at a Jack in the box and quit last Thursday. I been there for almost 7 months now. Everything was going pretty good. I had just moved to that city not knowing anyone and become friends with some of my coworkers (still hanging out even after quitting) and we had just gotten raises this new year ($15). As time kept going I got tired of the customers and the boss(M47). I had been thinking about moving on for a while now but didn’t think it would have been so soon. But last Tuesday I had my final straw. For the past month before that, my boss kept switching up my schedule every week. Each one worse than the other. I went from only working in the morning with my friends, to something in between and to all afternoon shift with me as the only cashier (having…

I've been lurking on this sub for about a week and I enjoy the stories and drama that goes on here but I find that a lot of these problems that people face here wouldn't exist if they were in the military. Not to bash anyone's beliefs or career choices, we all walk our own path but I feel so bad when I read posts about people not getting enough hours, not enough pay, no benefits, having insane student loan debt etc. I was a manager at a McDonald's for 3 years and a manager at a Jamba Juice for 2 and even though I loved the people I worked with, I hated every second of those jobs. I despised putting on a happy face every day for asshole customers and work 8+ hours just to barely make $1000 a week. Things got so bad that eventually I decided that…

I worked at the Wyndham hotel, on food and beverage, and I need some advice. Me and a group of my coworkers have been having a lot of trouble with our manager and the head of the food and beverage department. Apparently if for any reason this two people don’t like you they are trying to do anything to fire you. Ironically they are short of staff and they need us more than we need them. I went to HR today February 28th to express my concerns. It all begins because I can’t be quite whenever they are treating me or anyone disrespectfully. I can guaranty that we are doing a great job, I have been in the industry on an off for 19 years, this is the first time that I work for a hotel and a big corporation like Wyndham. Is there anyone that I can talk to…
