So why aren’t wages fluid as well? We’re now working for less!

Edit: saw one comment said need some karma for my empty account. First of all, this is my second account as my coworkers know my main account and I don’t want them to see this. I’m posting as I am mentally drained and struggled due to my current work. It is toxic and I keep wanting to quit but also hesitated back and forth like this quite a few times so I came here to hear people’s stories to learn and get inspired. I don’t know why some people just always assume the worst.

I love that I’m not the only one that waits to get to work in the morning/after lunch break to use the restroom. PAY ME TO DESTROY THE BATHROOM! It’s a win-win! Get paid AND get relief at the same time!

I am a front office manager at a small hotel. I have an employee that has little control of their emotions or ability to not let their emotions dictate their behavior. She is consistently 5-20 minutes late every shift and takes a dozen smoke breaks throughout her shifts. I can deal with these issues for the most part. However, when she is stressed (all the time at a beach hotel front desk) she tends to snap and yell at anybody that is not in agreeing, siding, or defending her. I wrote her up back in September for yelling at the housekeeping manager and berating him in front of other staff. She had done the same to when I first started over a write up I was giving her. There have been several incidents like this over the three years I’ve worked here. The GM does not document them as she…

I hadn’t heard this story until very recently. it’s a true story about horrendous exploitation of workers and lying about the dangers of the workplace, even to the very end. It’s absolutely enraging that this shit is still a problem in today’s society. All the more reason for unions and more enforcement of worker’s rights.

I’d love y’all’s input on this. If this post doesn’t really fit here, lmk and I’ll delete it. I just had an interview for my dream job. I’ve done a lot of interviews in my life, but this had been one of the best experiences I’ve had. Each interviewer made comments about how I was ‘very qualified’ and had the exact experience they were looking for. One of the interviewers even said they hope I get the job. Then, the next day, I was rejected. While I understand these things happen, what I am upset about is that they would make comments about how they “hope I get the job” and then almost immediately reject me. To me, this is a lack of professionalism and respect for the candidate on their end. I have a meeting setup with the recruiter for feedback, and I would like to share my thoughts…

It’s been 5 years and I’m getting better but I want to stop caring. I just got work done on my car, $700. In the past for me (and presently for 1/2 of all Americans) that would have been a huge Economic blow to me. Now it isn’t but that didn’t stop me from huffing and puffing about it. Working shit jobs with shit bosses for almost two decades really fucked with my head. Being frugal isn’t fun or endearing at all to me, it feels like being poor and I don’t like it at all.
