My employer is treating most of its employees very fair but there is one team with a very incompetent and childish Teamleader and the colleagues there are really suffering. The Teamleader obviously is very good at tricking the supervisors into thinking he is doing everything right. Due to a special regulation in Austria they cannot terminate me, so should I try to help them?

I recently started a new contract position and right off the back everything is going well. And we are pretty connected with one another and help each other whenever we are lost. We are both on contract positions, different contract agencies with different titles. Yesterday we were having coffee and he told me that he gets paid $27 per hour and that he believes his contractor gets paid $50. I replied saying well you know if we are converted full time we can make more. He then asked who was my contracting agency and I told him. There’s no harm in telling a co worker who your contracting agency is right? But that’s all I told him. I know he wanted to ask how much I make but I view that as personal. If I come across a co worker asking me how much I make what’s the right way…

Okay, so applying for a job at this place and they got me doing a trial shift of two hours, they'll pay me if I succeed but if I fail they won't pay at all. What do you think I should do?

This was back around December. Because classes are still onsite, I decided to take a wfh internship to expand my resume and to also earn some side income. I managed to get hired to this start up and they were offering me around $200/month allowance. I live in the Philippines, that much money was already enough to feed an entire family. It was below minimum wage, but there are no other companies that would pay an intern that much here. During my first day in this company, I started noticing that there were some red flags. I was hired to be an intern for the Outbound Business Development Team, and on my first week in the company, my manager quit. I was trained and under the supervision of another department head, but it was obvious she doesn't know the problems and demands the department was having. In just my first…

So I'm in Australia and I work in the public sector. The state I used to live in was great (granted, I worked in the community back then). Now I'm back in a hospital in the state I originally lived and studied in. Oh boy is it bad. Overworked, understaffed, hospital saying it's okay to strike but also making it impossible to communicate to our union for the strikes by shooing union members out even when they have permission to be there. I'm getting fatigued constantly and my bipolar has recently tipped to depression which it was bound to do, but work is making it even worse. I got attacked by a confused patient a few weeks ago on my birthday and work made it as difficult as possible to get my workers comp sorted as I had to take time off and see a doctor. Yelled at on the…

I got hired for the position that I thought would be a great change for me about 8 months ago. In the interview, I did ask “So why is this position open?” And the stated that the previous person just didn’t work out. I should have known at that point that the people was two sided, not one sided. I got the job, and they said that I would be working with this other woman who would be teaching me everything. It started off fine, it was pretty boring but she was nice. Then one day she seemed to be in a bad mood. I asked her for confirmation that I did something right, and she barked at me and told me that I did it wrong, but when she told me how to do the thing it was exactly what I had asked her… meaning that I didn’t do…
