Month: April 2022

Been having some issues with my job with things like broken promises and whatnot. I ended up escalating the main issue to HR (not our ally i know) and also got a call from a supervisor I didn't know during this process who tried to get me to quit quite a few times. I informed HR of this and how I wasn't comfortable speaking with her anymore and was told this issue would be escalated again. I get a message yesterday about how I'm in a zoom call to discuss with the supe I'm not comfortable with a solution. I ask for it to be done in writing as I'm not comfortable talking with the other supe I don't know. I'm told I'm expected to be there. I offer an alternative as I don't trust them and want to have what's discussed in writing. This time my job is threatened…

How would I be able to take a supervisor to HR potentially for making comments on my appearance more than once? I started a new job a few months ago and one particular supervisor keeps on making comments on my appearance whether that be about my hair and now asked if I was on a diet (wtf??) I've told other supervisors about this but nothing has been done so far. How could I go to HR and not lose my job?

Looking for help with a script for my husband. (He doesn’t have a Reddit account) He’s the right hand man for a small local landscaping company- he’s been working there for 6 years and is making $20 an hour. Last year the other person doing what he did left so he did both jobs all season, saving company $20 an hour with the same amount of work getting done. The owner gives raises at the end of the season – so you have to wait until the next spring to see any increase- and it’s literally 50 cents – he thinks he’s being generous, talking about how it’s hard on everyone. My husband is looking for help coming up with some simple, to the point facts/statements to hopefully make him understand that if pay increases don’t even at least match inflation they’re pay cuts not raises. It may not change…

As a bit of background, I work in the IT industry and have been at this company for 3 years (first 2 where I was an apprentice but was given very little support, I was essentially cheap labor). Recently, a colleague of mine left and we have struggled to find anyone else since, meaning I have a bit of leverage and the company would struggle if I left. We currently do 3 days in the office a week and I want to increase my days at home as being in the office is both a waste of my time and money on fuel. I have asked twice to reduce this to 2 days in the office and this has been declined with the typical bullshit excuses. This has lead me to look at other jobs in my field which seem to be a lot more flexible and pay a lot…

I wish someone would have criticized some of the signs for employees we had up in the grocery store I used to work at. It is shocking what employers leave in plain sight.

I work for a corporate grocery store. On my 6 hour shifts, my employer always asks me to stay after I’m scheduled to do something else. I’m already working for 50 cents less than the state average at my position, and so much is always expected of me. I also live paycheck to paycheck and it was expected of me to donate money for my boss’s birthday. I hate it here.

How do I start. How about the fact there is one police officer with a currently-standing conviction of murder for actions taken on-duty in my state. That individual was going home, drunk, from a bar, the Friday before they committed that murder. I was their Uber driver. To call them racist would be polite. To call them irrational would be polite. It was clear to me, being that early in the ride I learned they were a police officer, that they were not the kind of person that should be a police officer. This is what you see driving Uber. You see some of humanity's worst. On top of that police officer, you see people who appear to legitimately believe they're god (and act like it) going home from a bar. You see someone complain their mother in law doesn't like them, and then two breaths later describe how they…
