Just got promoted into management…

I obviously will refuse to be a dick to my employees, and will fight and advocate for them at every turn, but I still can't help but feel like I've become the villian. I need this job for myself and my family. But why do I still feel like a scumbag…

This is why DSPs (direct support professionals) have such a high turnover, this was the response I got after asking who I can speak to for a raise after a year and getting a perfect annual review. (This was after they said they “dont do raises” and that my pay was at a fixed rate).

From a while ago, but felt this would be fun to share here. I “defaced” the sign our manager left in the break room. He was not happy when he found out it was me, but I’d already quit by then.

Is it really that strange to want two days off after working for five in a row?

I work in retail and was scheduled for five days in a row with only one day off before I am to go back in. I brought up how this seems like a bit much, and kindly asked if in the future, I could have two days off in a row after working five or more consecutive days. Everyone was genuinely baffled by this concept. None of my managers understood my reasoning. One of my coworkers also said I seemed spoiled. Is this really so strange? In my past retail job, people were given two consecutive days off, unless they requested otherwise. I thought this was just the norm.

“We’re a family.”

I hate that nonsense when an employer says “we’re a family here.” Really? Did you change my diapers? Teach me to ride a bike? Hug me while I cried during my first heart break? Oh- no? Then we ain’t family- this is a job, I’ll give you my 8 hours for my paycheck then you can leave me the fuck alone.
