Month: April 2022

Last week I was the best thing since sliced bread. Told my boss I had to move soon and they said “stay close to the building you do great you’ll also get a raise soon.” This week I come in and am blind sided by an impromptu meeting about my “leadership skills” that’s I’ve done 5 bad things and what not. I was astonished and confused and refused to apologize or take blame when last week there wasn’t a problem, if I had done these things and they were so bad then how is it the first time I’m hearing anything about it. Boss stated I wasn’t allowed to talk to anyone or ask anyone about the statements made against me because it’s considered retaliation. A witch hunt basically started on me. Throwing up before work, scared to even come in cus I don’t know what I am/was doing that…

I was about to leave for my 1pm shift (12:45, in-home support client lives relatively nearby,) and I found out that someone had hit my car. Initially, we couldn't start it because they backed into it hard enough that the front wheel slid and the steering wheel locked up. This has us concerned for the whole steering system. I called my manager for the day once to let them know I couldn't make it because of the unknown damage, and that I had to make phone calls and get the car to a shop. They insisted if I take a taxi/lyft/uber that they'd reimburse me, but I don't have any money (living that paycheck-to-paycheck life,) and told them it's not going to work out today. Manager was huffy and snarky when she said she'd take care of it. When I thanked her, I got a condescending “Yeaaa, well…” They've pulled…

Capitalism is way too profitable…. Imagine if all these celebs took a pay cut, imagine if an nhl player only made 150-200k/ year…. Tickets would probably go from 200$ down to 30$ … why do we worship all these celebrities when they are part of the reason everything is so expensive? You guys are paying for their lavish lifestyles when we can hardly afford our own…. Entertainment has gotten way to expensive. Tv, movies, all this crap is way over priced. Oil companies are way over priced, maybe they should all be capped in just how much profit they can make. we need to cut out the big bills if we want to have a life for the middle class! It’s garbage. Stop supporting this crap. Can anyone reword what I’ve said so it is more proper?

This happened over a year ago. I still work at the job. Simply because I enjoy my coworkers, and some of my supervisors. So. One day it work we were getting brought in to discuss about our raises. When I got in. I was told I was getting a decent raise. I was happy about that. After the meeting, I had found out that temps were getting paid over a dollar more. I was pissed, my supervisor was pissed. She actually went and raised hell about it. I was then called back into the upper management people where they told me they had no idea why the employees were discussing payrates. They also told me, that before I even was hired on. One of the upper management people didn't want to even hire me on. They then also told me that I had been leaving work early quite frequently and…

Been in the air force for about 10 year forced retirement due to medical issues. So I got a job like they tell me to. I was getting paid 20 bucks as hour to machine parts. I though it was on the lower side but I needed something. I look on indeed and entry level is paying 28 an hour. I bring it up to hr, they tell me to be thankful I get paid that much and the pay will get better once I prototyped and manufacture a test gun so they could sell it to a large firearm dealer. Once hr (owners daughter) said be thankful they pay me that much. I just said I will not be returning. I have received phone calls and texts asking to come back. How have you guys been dealing with this for so long it’s terrible working for a larger mom…
