Month: June 2022

I had a job that normally requires a 90-day notice to leave, WHEN you have a signed contract. Welp, after I started, the company reneged on quite a few items that you’d normally expect: gave me no sick days, no vacation days, no overtime pay, no extra pay for working holidays like Christmas, the 4th etc…. When I complained, the manager and HR said the contract I signed was not signed my them (they were correct) and therefore was unenforceable. My Bad. I had already emailed my 2-week notice to my manager and as usual he ignored my work emails. So I told HR verbally that my last day was in 6 days because I had no contract and all I owed them was a 2-week notice. The CEO (small company) came back with the “oh yes you have to give us a 90-day notice per contract.“ I reminded her…

I work a sales job that I'm pretty good at. One of the most knowledgeable in the store that people always ask for questions. But I work part time and only on weekends so I've never really felt like it's fair to ask for a raise. I started back in 2019 at $15 an hour which was pretty good back then but now in 2022 I'm making 16.56 an hour. I quickly googled what the inflation has been like since 2019 and it says the dollar has lost around 14% it's value since then. That means $15 an hour is 17.10 an hour today. I'm kinda a nervous fellow so how do I go about asking for a raise cuz I don't think it's fair to make less then what I started with.

PSA: If a tipped worker does not earn enough in tips to equal or exceed the normal minimum wage, employers are legally required and must fill the remainder. And in many states, there isn’t even a tipped wage at all; it’s the same normal minimum wage across the border. For some reason, so many people in this thread and in general do know how tipped minimum wages work and are spreading misinformation.

Since finishing studying engineering for 3 years, I did a lot of farming jobs and a few engineering jobs. All of which were shift work. Farming work was mostly 12 hour shifts. Looking back on it, 12 hour shifts were best… Since when I did my 40 hours, I was allowed to take time off. Being young, I didn't I just kept working to get more money. Anyway… Fast forward 8 years, I got a job in a food factory. It was a good job. Shift work as usual for food factories. They changed it so many times but we tried 12 hours 4 days per week. I loved it. Extra day off per week. Monday to Thursday. Then they changed it to 3 shifts Sunday night to Friday night. I refused to rotate 3 shifts. I tried it for 2 months but I couldn't rotate from back shift finishing…

I did about 26 hrs of OT last month and honestly don't want to go back in ever. It has consumed my life.

Ok I'm a full time WFH employee in the UK and we've always been under the impression that we can't travel outside of the UK and still continue working because of tax issues ( or maybe it makes things complicated but still doable?) Anyway two of my directors frequently travel to France ( they have a house they are renovating) and still dial in to company calls here in the UK. And that seems to be acceptable? Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thank you.

After working food service jobs and being treated so poorly in many different ways it resulted in me avoiding fast food joints or places like starbucks. I know me avoiding these places doesn’t change how workers are treated, but I just hate feeling like I’m the same as the customers I hated so much. I’d be lying if I say I never eat out, but I try to stay away as much as I can. But no matter what there certain things I would never do like stand in a long line because I know the workers are busy or I would never come 20 minutes to closing because I know everyone is ready to go home. I’m struggling to express myself, so am I making sense? Anyone share similar feelings?
