I work in a small town where good jobs are kinda hard to come by, I actually get a semi-decent rate of pay (whatever that means) to manage a store. We have had a hard time attracting any applicants to an assistant manager role, that I have been covering, as well as my own full-time duties. Now my boss tells me we have an applicant (yay!) but they are asking almost double my rate! I’m sure there will be a negotiation but the rate is so high it’s hard to imagine them settling on anything lower than my rate. I need to have a conversation with my boss but not sure what my approach should be…

I have found this to be easiest way to getting what you want. Out of an interview. I lie about my experience and what I have done. Its gotten me a lot further then what I have done before. They play games with me

My company allows 10 sick days per year. I used our system to mark myself sick on 4/1 and I got a call from the boss saying I have 24 hours to get a sick note. So I call my doctor's office and talk to the receptionist who give's a note to my doctor's nurse to call me. 4 hours later I get a call back asking what my symptoms are, why I need a note, etc. They say they will talk to my doctor and it's up to her to give me a note. An hour goes by. Doctor calls – asks all the same questions as the nurse, asks if I had a covid tests, tells me to take one of my free USPS tests and to call back. It's negative. I'm pretty sure I have a sinus infection – runny nose, eyes and teeth hurt, etc. I…

This is my first job in a formal office setting and I have never heard of a policy like this before, even through 4 years of business college. I just wanted to try and gauge if this is a common policy or if my company is just being extra predatory. For clarification in case my title wasn't clear enough, the policy is like this. You are scheduled for a 5 day work week, to work 8 hours per day. if you work 7 hours on one of those days, one hour of your Paid Time Off gets deducted, and supplemented into the hour you 'missed.' The company is still paying out on PTO hours but is making the decision for you when that PTO is spent…

I worked at McDonald’s for 3 years and was a crew trainer, yet they only ever paid me 25 cents more than the minimum wage. A year after quitting, they’ve emailed me and offered a measly 15$ CAD/hour. Meanwhile, at the job I currently work at I often make more than 20$ an hour with tips, so I’m obviously not going to accept their offer. What should I email back? Passive aggressive denial, something like that?
