Month: March 2022

I’m pregnant and my baby is due at the end of September. This is my first child. I will be a stay-at-home mom for the first five years of my child’s life. However, I want to find a summer/seasonal serving job to work from now until around my due date. I have worked as a professor for the past six years but I used to work as a fine dining server and I loved it! I did not work as a professor this semester because I was quite sick in my first trimester but not I am feeling totally fine again. Am I obligated to tell my potential new employer that I am pregnant? Do I disclose this in interviews?

Just started a new job today and my manager said “I hate Mondays. If you ever wake up one morning and think I can’t be bothered coming in today then just stay home, that’s ok”. What a G.

She told me to time myself every time I go to the bathroom and add that time to my 15 minute break so when it’s actually my break time I only break for like 10 minutes. It’s also a 4 minute walk to get to the break room and they say that your break starts the second you stop working in the back. Wtf is this bullshit lmao, safe to say I’m quitting today.

Apologizing in advance for grammar mistakes, I'm not a native English speaker. I am greatly enjoying the show of all of my dear coworkers walking out right now. It started in January and there's no sign of stopping. My team of 30 people had shrunk down to just 10 people 2 weeks ago. I had a week off for home renovations, came back and 5 more people left. I'm in a team of just 5 people now, doing the work for 30 people. For context of why this is happening, my boss is a huge asshole. We're supposed to get paid once every month on the 24th, 25th or the 26th. He stopped paying us in time months ago (A week or two later) and kept promising us it will all come in time one day. He even started paying some of us in halves (Half of salary one week…

If so, what do you do? I work in IT (the jokes almost write themselves). If it weren't for the horribly incompetent leaders that typically won't even make decisions for fear of being wrong and 50+% of my colleagues that are just dead weight, my job would actually be fun. It's still a job, but as far as jobs go it would be making the best of a meh situation. Would love to hear your stories on this lovely Monday.

Any time I see a job posting that pays less than a livable wage for the area I’m in, I report it. If they don’t post their pay rate, I report it. If the work they are describing is more than what they’re paying, I report it. We all need to start reporting these jobs, or just start wasting the employers time. Send them the message that we are not accepting anything less than livable. $1400 rent for a one bedroom apartment is not sustainable on anything less than $25/hour NET salary. If they can’t pay you a living wage for the area the job is located in, they don’t deserve to be doing business in that area. You shouldn’t have to get two jobs just to pay rent.
