Month: June 2022

So I have a full time job in addition to this part time position. My question is whether or not this is normal (I know it’s completely legal though). My part time job is generally 8-10 hours a week, but I essentially have to come in 4-5 days a week! So I’m basically working like 9-11 hour days 5 days a week. When I started it was told it would likely be 3 days a week. So my question is, how normal is it for a part time job to need you 4-5 days a week, although the hours remain rather low? Thank you!

I work at a commercial gym as a salesperson and am great at my job. However, my female boss has been noticeably cruel to me while getting cozy with my male coworkers and giving them far more praise and support. She repeatedly scolds and humiliates me in front of other employees and tries to quiz me on information that has no bearing on my actual work. She talks badly about me to other male employees who are In my same position and often directs them to direct me while at work. Most recently she has been spying on me through a camera when I work weekends (she is off weekends) and doesn’t allow me to sit at any point; if I take a knee (while doing work, mind you) she’ll send a message immediately scolding me, whereas my male colleagues have just been jokingly reprimanded with no hostility. Yesterday, 10…

I got scolded at work for knowing peoples wages through someone who has access to that information. Its hilarious because they openly discuss everybody else's disciplinaries, holidays, sicknesses, any personal and professional issues. Heck. Somebody quit today and one of the supervisors was exclaiming that “he must be mentally ill”. Work environment is fucking shit.

This happens in a company next to where I work, in California. There was an employee who was fed up with the working standards and force to come to office by managers who still were working from home. She had many issues like safety (sick people forcedto vome to office), No covid compliance, etc with company's working standards, as they were deteriorating citing losses in Covid (by company). Last week they had quaterly results (Apr – Jun), and most of ground staff had to go through Pay Cut, ranging from 3% to some even 15%. This the background of her situation, now what she did. She came in Monday sat on her desk and did nothing. Just sat there, if some manager called and asked her to do something she never said NO, but didn't do the work either. Monday evening when the things weren't done, they called her early…

Everyday it feels like shit is getting worse I am 16 and I see my mother,sister and brother struggling for money, not to mention we have been in a hotel for a year we were kicked out because of rent rising and everyday things feel like they are constantly getting worse and even though I keep telling myself it will get better it doesn't look that way anytime soon I am sorry if this sounds like me bitching even though I don't have a job yet but I am afraid that 2 or 3 years from now I won't even have a future of any sort and I have been thinking about this constantly ever since I turned 13 and everytime I say it will get better somehow it just gets worse the only reason I haven't gone ahead and tried to kill myself is because despite how much my…

My current job is 24/7 on call with one day off a month and has a policy (for good reason, it’s a security issue) that if you resign you are walked off the property immediately. I got offered a new job and said fuck it, I’m just not gonna answer the phone until the fire me. If you quit you of course lose all benefits, if you get fired, you keep your insurance for 4 months. The guy in charge of the whole place has called me and my fiancé so many times we ended up blocking his number. Maybe one day they will realize how shitty they are but I doubt it.

You know one piece of advice that pisses me off? “Don't tell your potential employer you're autistic”. Maybe that works for some…for me? I'd be extra fucked if I hadn't informed them up front on the application. I need accomodation. Not much, but some forgiveness and patience. THis job if I got it, I'd be making probably 6 figures. I'm an autistic truck driver. I've had no accidents and no tickets. I'm 3 years deep (technically 4 but I've been having a hard time finding a decent employer). My autism, has caused me tons of hardship in life. I've very guarded ALL OF THE TIME, especially around people I don't know…because a consistent trend is, I don't blend in with the herd, someone more or less figures out I'm autistic, and gets some sick twisted sense of “satisfaction/justice” after laying a massive knife in my back. Over and over and…

This was a good few years ago and my hair has grown back into a proud lion mane once again (and I'm in a way better job) Previously I worked on the bar on a holiday camp, it was awful and I have so many stories of abusive customers and the place still owes me about a grand from overtime shifts managers “forgot” to put through. My boss and a few other managers constantly told me to cut my hair because they didn't like long hair on a man. In response I constantly pointed out they never ask the girls to cut their hair and that I always had mine tied back on shift. Eventually I got passed up for a job working in the office solely because I refused to cut my hair. They literally told me straight up if I wasn't willing to cut my hair how could…

I started working in a new autoshop. At the interview they didn't tell me I'd be working on stuff like box trucks, ambulances, and many other fleet vehicles they have that come to them. We do tires on them as well. The tire with the rim for these vehicles feel like they weigh near 100 pounds. It's fine for me, because I weigh 220. But they've been hiring guys who weigh under 150. Some of them told me they only weigh 120. And no, they were not told these are the kind of vehicles they'd be working on. So some of these guys will just quit before they destroy their back. Management seriously doesn't get why. And I can't understand why they don't understand.
