Month: June 2022

So I am just venting here. I am a PhD in pharmacology, due to life hardships I ended up working as a doorman. This is already gullible as it sounds, however I kept doing this while sending emails, curricula and the usual stuff. After all I said why not ? It is mainly a job where you keep sitting and you have lots of downtime The negatives were I no more had a social life, that there was no difference in retribution between night and day time or weekdays pay and “no working” days pay. I was paid 4,20 € per hour. So after the first wage which was about 700 € for more than 40 hours per week, I decided to leave. Good thing they choose to fire me cause apparently during an eight hours shift I wasn’t supposed to leave not even for a couple of minutes to…

So I started a new job working as a line operator at a plastic waste centre about month back I got 3 days training and then left on my one I don’t see anyone all day and when it comes to brake they don’t speak English so don’t talk then but anyway back to my point I can’t seem to do the job properly I cant even keep up let alone run the whole thing and I’m getting the blame saying I’m not watching my line I’m pretty shore I shouldn’t be working on my own but when I bring anything up to my boss and supervisor they will talk in a different language in front of me an then they blame me sayin I need to watch the line what am I watching out for I will never know Uk

Some clarification. The coworker is her estranged fathers gf and when she showed up at our home, my gf immediately called their supervisor to tell him about it. When she walked in to work the following day, the head of HR delivered my gf a final warning. I’m not sure of the reasoning for it.

My husband lost his job a few months ago, I thought we'd be fine for a bit. But we are drowning. He must he terrible in interviews, because he is still unemployed. I have some tricks to stretch a dollar from growing up poor, but they're all played out. I made $70k last year (a LOT of overtime) but that's still not enough for two people to live on apparently. Bills are getting behind. When the pandemic started he was layed off, we were fine, even had some money leftover. Is inflation really that bad? I am lucky, my hourly wage is over three times the federal minimum, and over twice my state minimum, but I am still sad looking at my paycheck, knowing I need more.

I (m22) am leaving my teaching job, as frankly I am too young for dealing with this. All my friends are living together, I am isolated in a village, with 10 guitars and I want to use them. If it doesn’t work out, I literally have the rest of my life. I am on the train now to complete my last day, and then I’ve got about 30 gigs lined up until September. So epic.

As the title says, this mediocre excuse for a human told her she was 'faking' it. She already had a neurological disorder similar to epilepsy that caused her to go unconscious once before this incident. She's currently in the process of trying to sue, I believe, but I'm worried she's going to lose her job. Yep, my previous company is that shitty. Any word of advice? This POS should be fired and honestly put in jail but I'm scared he will keep his spot.

I have been contemplating quitting my job due to an unwelcome / discomforting person in the workplace. However I keep revisiting memories and interactions. For reference, I’m in my mid 20’s Asian, my coworker is I believe 15-20 years older Caucasian. It wouldn’t be a big deal except for the fact that I’m not a mid 20’s girl who is mature and looking older – I often get mistaked for younger age. My height doesn’t help being about 5’4” (he looks just over 6’) Generally both in work and out of work if I meet eye contact with someone, I smile and say good morning With this guy I asked how he is, or wishing him a happy weekend, that I believe he took as something else. I was really just meaning to be friendly but I realize it may be a fault of mine. Unfortunately this is has escalated…

Was promised 40 hour weeks Monday through Friday, because I have to be with my son. Usual days are lasting around 11-12 hours, forcing me to work through lunches and change my timesheet to add lunches so I work for free, pushing my overtime to the next week so I don't get paid time and a half, forcing me to leave my family for a week at a time, forcing late notice to work Saturdays has been very occurant. I have been fed up with them for awhile, but the nail in the coffin was I was sick today, have only called in sick once before, still had sick time to use, and they made statements on the company platform insinuating I am faking illness, threatening termination, and ridiculing me. I just needed one day to recoup. Getting to the office way early, dropping off my things and giving a…

So we had a last minute emergency trip out of town. They asked me to drop everything which I did to commit to a possible two week trip making me lose time with my boyfriend and my puppy. They sent me with the only girl at work that I absolutely despise and expected me to share a room with her. I requested that we have separate rooms so they called Ronald McDonald House. So one room is a nice hotel and the other one is at Ronald McDonald House…. I'm already checked into the hotel had showered and got everything organized in the room when I get a call from my boss saying that I will be going to Ronald McDonald. I told her this doesn't make sense as I'm already settled in which she replies that she would still like me to go anyway. I asked her for a…
