I'm resigning from my job because of corporate gaslighting. I asked for a meagre raise and the company did not grant me that. Not just that, they made all sorts of excuses to justify not giving me the money I rightfully deserve because of the work I've put into ideating for this company. Today my resignation has been accepted. I am their key person for marketing communications. I have access to all of their social media handles, passwords, brand guidelines, frameworks, idea drafts, you get the idea. Now they're starting a “knowledge transfer” process in my notice period. I want to be mildly infuriating and inconvenience-causing during the whole process so that it doesn't have any major impact that they can hold me accountable for but surely feel frustrated about the same. What can I do? What are my options?

I just got off the worst shift of my life. During the shift the store owner (of a restaurant) told me it's my fault I asked my coworkers how much they make per hour and that I shouldn't be upset that I make the least amount possible (on top of being busy all day and running around with 1 person to help me). I am the best worker they have in my area and multiple people have told me this. I do more than my job description requires EVERY SHIFT and I do everything required perfectly, other managers have told me I am the best at what I do and put me in the same spot every day because they know I can handle it and I will make no mistakes. I guess It's time to do the bare minimum and look for another job. If they can recognize that…

I’m just curious, I’m a bartender in USA. I make $5.50/hr payroll (from company) with the rest being gratuities from customers. I tip share with my front-of-house co-workers (I.e. servers, host, server expo, etc). My tip-out is equally shared between positions but my hosts/servers/sa will be cut and out of the building by 9:30 pm and I’ll run the bar/resturant as manager, bartender, and server solo the last 2-3 hours. Should the tips from those tables be mine 100% or should I still be splitting them with the other co-workers who are off the clock? I’ve never tip shared before and feel like I’m getting ripped….

I'm UK based and see a lot of American people talking about getting write ups at work on here, but what is a write up and why is everyone so worried about getting one? Here in the UK we have a written warning which is basically a step along the disciplinary process to getting fired but it seems like write ups just happen whenever managers feel like dishing them out and there's no next step just more write ups til they decide to take it further which makes them pretty meaningless anyway. Why are people panicking about getting written up?

A while ago, I went from a job making $13.50/hour to $21/hour. First starting, I'm ecstatic. Ready to prove my worth as an employee. Push good work. Maintain a positive attitude. All of it. Well, over the past couple weeks I accepted a position within to become a cherry picker. I began my training and first week my first couple days are great. I get the hang of things and show I can kill it on cherru picker as well. Fast forward a couple weeks later, I am bouncing between multiple pieces of equipment. Expected to pull for this job title, this title and that title. I am running myself ragged with stress. I'm operating more equipment than every other employee every night. I'm pulling my numbers, and still this switch up and constant pulling for 2 jobs is killing me. I mention something again tonight how I wanted the…
