Month: April 2022

I am not really sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've seen a lot of rants here and this is kind of rant. So i live in a second world country, working at an American call center. The job itself is somewhat simple and almost anyone can do it. I work from the comfort of my own home, 4 (night shifts) a weak, (16 a month) 10PM – 6AM. I have about 50 days PTO/year, which they actually let me use with some advanced. They pay is somewhat low right now, due to inflation (about 550 Euro), but there a lot of people in my country that do harder work for the same amount of money. If i am sick for whatever period of time, it's usually not an issue and if i need a day off, for “x” reason, they would probably give it…

A regular customer of the store bought ten $100 dollar gift cards for the employees at the store. Well my store had 13 employees at the time so naturally my store manager who was there at the time decided who she was giving them to and didn't tell anyone else about them. The rest of us had to hear it second hand from other employees. We weren't even suppose to accept gifts from customers especially ones that extravagant. (It's a lot for a base level barista.) One of my shift managers reports her to the district manager who tells her not to give any more out but this was a few days later and she had already given out five of them. One of which went to somebody who was leaving the company and another went to somebody who ended up leaving with no notice and had 3 weeks worth…

Pretty much the title. I just need to vent out. I was scrolling this subredit during my shift today and I got so upset that I had to add a post aswell. I literally cant fall asleep on fridays after work because I am so happy that I have 2 days off infront of me. My paycheck isnt bad, my work is not that bad also. I just want to live my life, its so depressing to be stuck every single week for 40 hours in a place where I am only because I dont want to live on street. ​ Love you guys, stay strong

Making the employee pay should be illegal 100%. I’m already making close to minimum wage, and am struggling to pay rent and feed myself. And now I have to get 2-3+ hours of my paycheck taken out to cover some shitty, ugly uniform I can’t even wear outside of work? It’s absurd

I was offered $12/hr to work at Walmart and people are saying it’s too low to live on. Having had worked for $9 at McDonald’s, I think it’s a total upgrade and I will be full time so I can get some hours. And the minimum wage in my state is 7.25 (GA)

Over the last few months I have “job hopped” from a few places, as of today I finally accepted a position with a 4 day work week! AND a liveable wage! Imagine that. Leverage those other offers and good luck to everyone!

I went to a job interview today, they called me in for it after seeing my machine operator experience I never applied. So I go in to check it out and it didn't seem to bad I asked for $20 an hour (.40 over what I get now) and they promised they'd send me an offer, so I see in my email they wanna offer me $15 an hour with a small $2 shift differential. I asked for 20 not freaking 15 that's minimum wage i could work at a retail store for that and get more benefits from the state.

Due to covid, we lost >60% of existing employees. Naturally, those who stayed got more work. I ended up with more responsibilities and worked during late nights/weekends without pay. I work between 3 different teams. This is tech development so you can imagine how painful it is shifting between 3 projects/code base. I also helped them interview dozens of candidates all of which will make significantly more than me. Some time last year, I asked my manager and cc his manager for a meager raise but they push it aside claiming union does the negotiation. I know if I am valuable to them, they can pull strings. But i wasnt valuable to them until i put in my weeks. Fast forward to recently. I sent another email asking for the same. This time, it was meant for me to take action if there'sno response. As expected, there's no response. A…

It went a little like this when I got fired, it kind of makes me chuckle because I had just got promoted two weeks before. After some chatting it went like this : Her : You took 10 days off for Covid. Me : But you told me to? Also I had the DRs note and even tried to come back sooner than my note due to testing negative. Her : Yea… (pauses for a sec) but everyone else took 5 days off. Me : But you literally told me.. ten. days. and I had the DR note. I just stare at her dumbfounded because I knew everything about to leave her mouth after this was just as BS. Has nothing else to say to that and proceeds to list other bullshit reasons for firing me. F* At Will States. Truth is I just got done training someone to a…
