Just a PSA that payroll employees are also overworked. Source my mother does payroll for a major casino chain. She has to come in at 4:00am and work 12 hour days because she is the only person who can run the payroll. She gets bombarded with technical issues in the payroll software and deal with complaints from other depts. and other employees. I just wanted to put it out there that not all payroll people are part of the coorporate machine and arent struggling to pay people on time for lack of care. I know that she tries really hard to do right by all the employees but it can be difficult. Remember to show your payroll person(s) a little patience and compassion once and a while please. Note: I am on mobile so I apologize for any spelling or formatting errors.

Obv policy varies between companies but just as the title reads how long would it take a multiple billion dollar company (Home Depot) to audit and discover small time time theft. I haven’t clocked out for my required 30 min lunch in almost a year. This kid who got too comfortable too quick told some people he was taking multiple 15 min breaks a day and he soon got fired. Obv the rule of thumb is don’t talk about but even if I haven’t mentioned anything is there a way to gauge how deep in I am ?

When you walk into any business and the front door says “short staffed” “please be patient” what they are really saying is that the employees in this business are not being properly compensated for their work and their low wages are not getting people lined up out the door begging to work here. If you paid a living wage then you more than likely won’t be short staffed. I don’t want to bring my business to these establishments that don’t pay their employees enough and reading this signs makes me want to turn around before AO go inside. Thoughts?

I'm 5 weeks pregnant and frustrated with my job. Its a multinational corporation and I've been there five years. It is the best job I could have asked for – I'm even studying to advance further. I worked my way up through three promotions in the first two years and I'm trained in multiple departments. I have bent over backwards to be flexible, available and reliable. Even after having a baby, who is now two, I have accommodated all of their requests. I only took half of my leave. After my first baby, we had a different manager. He's tired from a baby that doesn't sleep and stressed about understaffing and an upcoming inspection. I get that, but… I want to be part-time again and he won't allow it. There's too many part time workers in the company, they're understaffed, his hands are tied. I'm angry. I bent over backwards…

I'm really tired of being looked down on by customers. I don't understand how you can demand a service and then look down in the people who do that service for you. I'm kind of just venting, because I had a bad day yesterday. But most of the people who came in just had this look of “really? This is the best you could do for yourself?” when I was by myself, I didn't get a break, I had to stock shelves, maintain the self check out, check out people who refuse to use the self check out, ask me why things aren't ringing up like it should (believe it or not, other people come in and do that, not us), put back everything people changed their minds about, tell people where everything is, complain about the heat because two air conditioning units are out, and when I couldn't do…
