As of lately my employer has adopted what seems to be an “all work, no play” kind of workplace. No cell phones, don’t use computer for anything other than work, ask for something to do when bored. We are relatively very slow, with many days comparing to “watching paint dry”. When I make less than $13/hr after being here 2 years with a total of 5 years in the industry? I think not. I’m not trying to be a whiny bitch about not being able to use my phone at work, but it’s the point to me that they want us actively working for every second of the 8 hours we are here. I work on a front line in a customer facing industry. We are monitored by cameras, while those away from the front line and in offices without cameras, they can and do scroll on their phones during…

Is it just me or should businesses be held accountable for your drive to and from work? If something happens on your way in should your job be held responsible for that? given the reason your out driving in the first place is for your job. Same with returning home? Its probably more of a “high” question but its something to ponder over. What do y'all think?

Just joined my first corporate job last week and noticed that almost nobody leaves on time. This is new to me and seems very old fashioned to “just be there so your boss looks at you like you are a hard worker”. Does it happen in your offices too Edit: This is in London, UK. Edit 2: This is also not about being lazy, it's more about having a life outside of work. When you are at work you work hard but then you switch off and move on to your private life.

I, at the moment, only work one job with maybe 20 hours a week. I'm looking for a second job but I don't want some lame job that pays me shit. I love that I'm so poor I can't pay a hospital bills so now 25% of each pay check gets to go to that bill by the government because I wasn't paying enough each month if I had the money to spare. I was on food stamps but they decided that the only way I get food is through food stamps and the rest of my money has to go to bills and rent. I went from getting enough money to eat for the month to now I get $37 a month. I hate this government. I hate that I can't find another job in a busy town that says they're hiring everywhere. I'm at a point of faking…

In 2015 I started working for a company who manufactured double glazing units, and delivered them to their customers – the window installers. I was on the first week of working for this company who headhunted me from a high paying job previously and I had a solid agreement with the owner (who was in the final stages of selling the company for over £70 million to a large international company) that in 2 years I would be running their UK distribution network. On the Friday of the first week on the job I get a call from a customer stating that one of our vehicles had been involved in an accident and the truck is crashed on a roundabout. As we have the trackers on the trucks I pulled up the info on the screen and started to manage the issue. Surely enough the tracker showed the truck on…
