Month: March 2022

Hello everybody! I need some help again don't know if this is the right group to post in, but honestly I’m getting tired with life and really need help 🙁 wish I was a bit more educated about this stuff. Anyways I’ve been with this big company close to two years. I was given a raise when moved locations, but as I was checking my pay stub I noticed this whole month my pay rate went back to what it was before mind you I’ve been at this new location for 2 to 5 months. Did not get any type of communication whatsoever about my pay raise being taken away. I live in Los Angeles C.A. Going to call in Tuesday morning, but wanted some input on this situation. Can they do that ? Is it even freaking legal !? Forgot to mention I do have employment verification forms from…

About two or three years ago I worked for a coffee shop chain that shall remain unnamed and I wanted to share my favourite memories from that time. We were a small team of less than 10 people, including the boss, and people were dropping like flies. New hires would usually leave within less than 6 months and the longest serving baristas hated the boss with a burning passion. The boss was a youngish woman with anger issues who'd make life a living hell with her unreasonable expectations. Her “second in command” so to speak would make sure to make HER life a living hell in return. He provoked and bullied her on a daily basis to the point where she would lock herself in the (one and only) staff bathroom for hours to presumably sulk. We were paid minimum wage (obviously) and the higher-ups decided to save money by…

Hi, So I work in a supermarket and my friend at work has just come out as gay. He only told a few of us but word got around. The manager is a very conservative Christian and found out, and is now watching him like a hawk and he was a few minutes late the other day and he got written up for it, and today he forgot his uniform shirt and they are saying they are cutting his hours. He's casual so basically this is like firing him, what should I do to help him out because I know this is just the manager taking out his personal views. Others of us have done similar things but not faced the same issues.

On my second day at work, I created a thread here about my situation and what I had thought about the job. It's been almost two months since, so I gained some experience, plus something to share. Before I get to the main issue, I'm working for this private/family-owned anything-related windows and doors shop. As an assistant storekeeper, I accept the merchandise, open and organize it, file all the paperwork to the secretary, help customers, answer customers via phone, and the job is physically retraining on my bad knee, when the heavy lifting comes. The problem is that there's just too much to do simultaneously, whilst remembering and not messing up (nothing in particular). That's not something I can do; I'm not a multitasker by nature. Now, the main issue is, well… the religious aspect. My job is pretty much orthodox, compared to my agnostic, secular ass, and while I…

I was 15 mins late to a shift, almost on the dot, I accept I was late my responsibility. I apologised and I thought we’d move on, but my manager told me AFTER my shift ended, that I wont be paid for my first hour. So I pretty much worked the first 45 mins for free. Is this not wage theft? I was late sure but I only missed 15 mins?
