Month: April 2022

I just finished my first week of my new job. It was going well, I didn't mind it, and the pay is more than I've ever made. (Though still not a thriving wage, and trust me, it pisses me off; I thought I'd be making six figures by now but apparently all I'm good for is entry level) Anyway. I had two “Karen” customers back to back. I work in outbound calls so my job is to the contracted drivers, not the customer, but that doesn't mean I enjoy getting yelled at. This woman even said “I want to speak to your supervisor” (I don't really have one) and “you will NOT terminate this call!!” (I timed it perfectly so I did right after she said that). The other customer just threw a fit that I wouldn't give him my personal cell phone number or the driver's personal number. I'm…

What says you?

I manage a franchise pizza place. My parent company has been failing to pay some of our employees. My co-manager/brother has been incontact with the PC trying to ensure our workers are paid. It's been difficult. Can anyone help of who we need to speak to about their failures? I know this is not entirely anti work post but I'm searching for help.

18F. I work at a spa where I mostly clean. I've hated every single job I've done so much that I sometimes feel I'd rather die than continue working like this. My manager has a “””flexible schedule””” which basically means she expects you to be on call far beyond your boundaries, doesn't matter if you had a meeting planned at 4, she'll make you work till 5.30. She constantly comments on things to make me insecure about myself and refuses to use my chosen name. She's shifty about wages and pays significantly less than my other employers. Today i was doing dishes and her husband commented “sexy gloves” right in front of her which is just… weird? i don't know if it's sexual harassment, but I imagine just makes her even more hell-bent on proving superiority over me. The only reason i'm doing these jobs is that i don't have…

Recently I have had some tooth pain that's gotten so bad I had to take some time off work. Technically most of that time was apart of my already scheduled time off so I've only had to call in sick one day. My boss is aware of everything and has helped to make accommodations for me like a good boss should which I thought was nice. So I was finally able to get to my scheduled appointment at the dentist where they took x-rays but couldn't do anything right away so that meant I was going to need to take another day off totalling two whole days off of work. A lot, I know. Anyways, I told my boss I would need more time to get my tooth fixed before I could go back to work and she questioned me to see if I was taking medicine yet and if…
