Month: April 2022

I’ve worked at this company for just over 10 years now. For the last few I have been doing things outside of my responsibility in hopes that I would get a promotion. I was doing above and beyond what was expected of me until it was expected of me. I spoke to management and asked if I could be put in the position that I was doing. They told me they no longer have that role in the budget so it would be impossible to do so. After that I stopped doing something of those extra things but because it was now expected of me, I was still being asked to do it. Come to a couple weeks ago, they announced they had finally added that position and they gave it to someone else…. To say I was disappointed is an understatement. I am looking for a new job now,…

So, last October I was job hunting, and found a nice position at a motorcycle and performance shop as a mechanic, and went through with the process. We agreed upon 17 an hour based on that fact I had no previous experience working in a shop, but I had been doing repairs and was ASE certified before working there, just not “professionally” as per say. We agreed upon a 3 month evaluation to assess my skills and if I would be a good fit as a service mechanic, while in the meantime I would be helping with vehicle setup. Well, those 3 months had seems to get by without a problem, but currently I'm 6 months in and have not even gotten a word from management about my review, and ONTOP OF THAT I've been helping with used sales SERVICING their machines on setup pay, basically working in the used…

My work schedule changes every week. Mornings then nights then afternoons. I'm on the afternoon shift this week. We're scheduled to be at work from 3pm-11pm, but really we're supposed to be there from 2:30-10:30, but in actuality they want us there from 2-10. On our time sheets we're supposed to put our time down as 2:30-10:30. And at 10pm if they want us to finish something or our relief hasn't shown up we're expected to stay the extra 30 minutes we're scheduled for only we don't get paid for an extra half hour. Makes no sense.

helloo, i’m posting this on behalf of my friend that doesn’t use reddit, she lives in florida and has a new job working in a hospital (not a nurse or doctor, works at the front desk i’m not sure if that will make a difference) and she’s been telling me how she feels extremely sick today and was told that she’s allowed 0 days off unless she’s in the hospital or someone close to her has died… i swear it isn’t legal for them to say you’re not allowed to have any days off, am i wrong? i just want to make sure my friend isn’t getting taken advantage of :/ thanks!!

My mother passed away and the life insurance that the employer is providing is not (what I understand to be the standards) 1 years salary. My understanding is that normal is between 1-3 years salary. They are saying it is not even half of one years salary… they are saying it is 1/6th of 1 years salary.. This would put my father out of his house.. I’m just wondering if people have encountered this before?

On mobile, so sorry for formatting. Not sure if this fits the sub, so I’ll take it down if it doesn’t. I’m a bank teller that is used as a floater between branches, and I’m usually fine with anywhere they send me. But this new branch I’m at has super weird vibes, and there’s only two other tellers other than myself. One of them has bright red hair, and when I complemented it with a follow up of “my hair is going pink later this week” the other teller said that unnatural colors weren’t allowed, even though I already cleared the new color with my district and branch managers. Is this just me making a snap judgement, or is this a red flag? There’s no hair policy, other than it being clean, and I dress according to the handbook.

I was demoted over something I don't believe was my fault. My boyfriend at the time told me it was my fault, but it turns out he was manipulative and abusive, and this was one of the few times I didn't defer to his opinion, so I've never been sure if I was in the wrong or not. Also their practices in general made it the first job I ever quit without notice. So this is basically a work-related AITA five years delayed, as well as a rant. I figured people here would probably understand, and provide some perspective. I don't believe there's anything they can do to me, if they even see this, so I'll start by identifying the park as Elitch Gardens in Denver. If they want to claim defamation or something, they'd have to prove my claims aren't true, right? And they are. To explain what I…

tldr: I worked for 3 diff arts orgs, one that I cofounded, that all burnt me out. Pandemic revealed major issues. Each experience was connected. Left it all behind to writes grants for myself. It was the first day of the pandemic and a prominent literary festival that was about to begin decided to cancel. My boss, the ED of another festival and a gemini, said “its terrible what they are doing to those artists”. I thought it was a very human response to choose to violate their contracts with funders and pay artists while canceling activities in order to save lives. My boss had a very “the show must go on” attitude and would often cite the AIDs epidemic like “we made art thru aids so why would this stop us”. It took my boss until May to accept that we couldn’t have any in person components to our…

Here's a list of what I do: – Campaign manager(facebook ads + google ads and the odd offline stuff); – Social media manager for ALL our customers; – Marketing strategist (wouldn't call myself that, but I do it) – Content producer – Graphic designer (again, I'm not a designer, but I do it) – Translator, for TWO languages (I majored in translation) – UX Writer – Copywriter – Assistant (random stuff like putting things together for meetings with clients, business presentations, teaching clients on using the website we made for them, interviewing interns and coaching them a bit if nobody if around to do it, sending out sales emails, looking for plugins…) ​ Sure, you always do a couple more things at your job than what's actually stated, but I can't get over this. I'm a UX writer, or at least I wish I could do just UX… my now-company…
