Month: August 2022

I’m not sure if advice posts are allowed here so I apologize in advance, but this seemed like the place to ask this. I’ll start off by saying I have a lot of issues with my branch manager. He’s cheap, racist, sexist, and an overall dickhead. A couple weeks ago I found out that my grandmother was dying and would be on her way soon (she ended up dying later in the week). Anyway, I found this out the night before Monday, so I slept very little that night because I was worried. I came into work that day and did my job the way I do it everyday. Fast forward to my lunch break. I almost always work through my lunch break. I usually just eat while doing my reports. Well, this day I did the same thing, but since I had really slept my eyes were hurting from…

I work for AMZN and constantly take calls for carriers and it irritates me so much how they treat their driver and carriers! I constantly get calls about being shorted on a trip, disputes being submitted that never get resolved as far as payment issues so now carriers need to wait weeks for PAYMENT issues to get resolved. These people have families and literally every little thing affects their performance that then affects if they’re able to pull loads or not. In training we are specifically told that no matter the sob story we need to adhere to company policy but realistically company policy is burning bridges with carriers to pull the freight. When we make trip adjustments we are told to $0 out the rate value which forces the carriers/drivers to submit a case and takes us back through the cycle again. It’s super frustrating bc obviously there can…

I would appreciate any advice from you guys. I worked for my employer for about to months this year as a server and kitchen support staff. My first pay check was after three weeks of working there. It was about 400$ short. I requested my pay stub and received one only for my second and third week of work. After two months I eventually quit for other reasons but still had not received that first pay stub. Management had “corrected” my pay once but the amount was still short, as I worked about 50 hours yet I had no way to verify this against my pay stub. I submitted a claim to the U.S department of Labor and when they contacted me I was told that all they can do is verify that I was paid at least MINIMUM WAGE ($7.25) and that if I felt that I deserved more…

I live in an at will state but decided to be polite and give my two weeks notice. Everyone is pissed – the manager told my team and the energy has shifted dramatically. Plus they’re piling on to my work load and not to mention that I’ve now become an unauthorized user when trying to check my PTO and what not. The thought of working for the next two weeks like this makes me want to kill my self.

Like sorry why would stacking boxes for 8 hours a day be any less of a waste of time? Sorry I would rather play halo than be at the most depressing retail hellscape ever created. I just got done with 8 days straight and all I want to do is eat edibles and watch YouTube. Why do I feel so guilty about that? How is my enjoyment for my sanity any more of a waste of time than spending the day at work? Either way I end up in the same bed at night. At least I enjoyed my gaming. I started working 6am shifts and got off early and I’ve been happier since then. But now I’m back to 10-6 or whatever and I’m always trying to cram as much into 3 hours before I start preparing for bed. Its a night and day difference. Now it’s my 1…
