My manager (38M) made me (23F) very uncomfortable the other day. Is it worth making into an issue?

I recently returned to work at a high volume, locally owned restaurant that I had worked at last year. Since I left, my old GM (who I loved) got hired for something more aligned with his interests and was replaced by this guy who i’ll just call M. M seems to have some kind of social ineptitude that I can’t put my finger on, but it ultimately makes him come across as kind of creepy and he also always seems to be on a bit of a power trip while also being more stressed out than anyone else in the restaurant. He just sucks in general, everyone agrees. Yesterday, though, he crossed a line with me and I can’t get it out of my head. I was kind of bent over by the servers station in a bit of pain because I was on my period. M noticed and just…

Can we normalize giving recommendations at an adjacent level as yourself?

The only person who will give an accurate picture of someone’s work ability is a coworker of the same level. Bosses don’t support subordinates because if they do well they are competition. Subordinates will always complain about their boss. The people most likely to give a good recommendation are the people who do the same job and pick up others’ slack when they need to.

Doing absolutely nothing at work 80% of the time, should I feel bad?

Hello, For context, my workplace doesnt really care much as long as shit is getting done just from what I gather from people that have been here for many years. I’ve been known to be a good worker, if a job comes in, expect that shit to get done right away. I’m not one to go look for things to do and screw myself over which I’ve done many times in the past while of course not getting compensated for it. My work involves driving around my city and no one really tracks down what you’re up to unless something is urgent and needs to get fixed right away. Only happend twice in the 2 years I’ve been here. I usually stick around at the office till like lunch hour and go do work (if there’s any) after lunch. If there’s no work, I’ll go straight home and just chill…

Reporting Employer Violations to the NLRB

TL;DR: Threatened or terminated for discussing unions/wages/working conditions in the US? Don’t tell your employer anything, save as much evidence as possible, and contact your local NLRB office. The National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) oversees enforcement of the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA), which covers certain worker protections in the United States. Under the NLRA your employer cannot punish or fire you for unionizing/discussing unions, or engaging in ‘protected concerted activity’ (which includes talking to other employees about wages/working conditions). Please note that this protection applies to most workers, but excludes government employees and some other kinds of workers. More details here. If your employer has threatened, punished, or terminated you for discussing these things, or has a general policy forbidding these discussions, you have the right to report it to the NLRB. THE MOST IMPORTANT THING TO REMEMBER: DO NOT TELL YOUR EMPLOYER WHAT YOU ARE DOING. This only…
