I work Tuesday through Friday. Compamy policy is that if a holiday falls on my usual day off, I will not get holiday pay. I am salaried and have a signed letter saying I get Memorial day, Labor day, etc., paid. What should I do?

What to do
A little background: I work in a breakfast restaurant one day a week right now (weekday) and pick up shifts on the weekend as needed. I am in school and also taking care of a small child. I covered a shift this weekend and the owner of the restaurant was there. I usually don’t see her as I don’t work on the weekends. So I’m working this Sunday and it is extremely busy, I’m getting sat multiple tables at a time and really in the weeds. I asked the hostess to give a large table to another server and I continued with the ones I had. I was finally caught and and my boss just started taking tables from me. I tried to explain I was caught up, and ready to take on more tables but was shot down. I was inside making coffee drinks and I overheard the owner…
I'm only 20. I don't have experience, a bachelor's or an associates. Don't have connections either. I told her how much I made in a month and she said it isn't that much and it is low. She doesn't even work. She has no job and gets paid $1k a month for her disability. She seemed so perfect. Accepted a lot of things about me. Now it feels like she did that because of money or something. Man, I fucking hate capitalism. I hate money. It's so materialistic. Waste years of your life working everyday at a shit job that you hate, doing heavy labor that grinds away at your body while the uppers don't even do any heavy labor but get paid 4x more than you. What a life I live. I'm 20 and I already have back and knee problems outside of work. I just want to travel…
Hi everyone, I just feel like I need to rant. I really hate my job and it has caused me so much anxiety to the point where I cry almost everyday. I work in a tech support type role where I have to interact with customers (including calls) and I can’t stand it. We also have to meet certain metrics (the amount of cases we take, the ratings we get) and if we don’t meet them, we get in trouble. I did not get proper training and I still feel like I don’t know anything, and I feel so behind. Sometimes I will just take days off because of how bad my anxiety gets. And even when I’m on the job I feel like I want to cry every-time I work on a case or try to avoid working on them. I tried to cope with this job by doing…
Our first year out of college, me and 2 friends of mine got accepted to work at the same marketing agency as designers. We were all approached by this company along with a few of our other peers and although we found wit strange that they had 3 positions available we were not surprised that we were chosen as we were all extremely qualified. The company in question was a digital branch within a bigger company and they told us that they were expanding. Once we were initiated and got to work, we were killing it and they began taking on new clients. We were so efficient, in fact, that we were getting told to slow down because they couldn’t check all our work at the rate we were completing it. Because of all the increased overseas clients and the time difference, we began working overtime almost every day with…
…and the cheapest meal is $12 before tax and tip. Don’t be like my employer and value your talent before they leave.
I have a friend who works in a small chain retail store. He started an initiative to have the upper management like region managers, store managers, CEO and such people to write thank you notes to the staff. Like a quick hand written note to thank them for working hard. Ya know, at least acknowledge that they are the reason that anything gets sold. Upper management was fighting every step of the way “It takes too long” “do I really have to include X every year?” These people really spent more time and effort complaining about thanking people rather than just doing it. It’s not even much money, literally just acknowledging that they work hard and they can’t even do that.
