Month: September 2022

Hello everybody worldwide! I just wanted to say that I used to be a company bootlicker… I would sacrifice my body, time with my family, put the company first… All types of nonsense. You know what the company did for me? Nothing…. I was miserable and missing out on actual life. I still work for the same company, but now I call out when I want, don't put myself in harms way, do my job to the standard set forth and nothing more… You know what the company did? Also nothing… Moral of the story… If you have to work to survive don't break your back for a company that wouldn't break a tooth pick for you For clarification – no company cares for you more than profits. So you need to give them that same energy

That’s not normal right? To have to go out into the hall to blow your nose? For added context I got deviated septum surgery a month ago. It healed fine but I still have some excessive drip. I don’t want to have to leave my desk every time I want to take care of that Edit: so actually it was because a coworker complained – the noise from it was actually physically putting them off. Which is totally reasonable, and I’m happy to adapt to make a better environment – but also I wish she would have just told me directly? I guess it’s an embarrassing conversation.

I was running late to work which is not a regular occurrence so I texted my boss to let her know I would be 10 minutes late. Her response was “Why?”. Why? Because I'm not on time that's why. It's none of your fucking business why. If I need to be “Disciplined” for being late than so be it. But it's none of your fucking business why I'm late.

I called off two weeks ago because I was sick and my manager was fine with it. I work in the restaurant industry so I didn’t think they’d want me there while being sick. I got over that and here I am two weeks later with a runny nose, cough, fever, and throwing up. I’m scared to call off because I just called off two weeks ago and have only been at this job for a month and a half. My other manager also made someone come in even though they were sick. So I don’t know what to do. Any advice?

…a simple data entry project that should take 5-10 minutes, fill in this information in this place and replace the old printed copies in the bank, and intentionally gives you incorrect information that they’re apparently expecting you to catch? Why would I be looking for incorrect interest rates when you’re the one giving me the new information to change our documents? Why would I be looking for them when you’re asking me to change to documents to reflect these rates instead of the old ones? I don’t go to the board meeting because I’m not on the board. I’m not there to verify that the information you’re giving me is correct. Why would I assume that’s it’s incorrect after it’s been given to me by you to put in our system and on our documents?? It’s happened so many times now that I expect what you’ve given me to be…

As a salary general manager for chipotle in Ohio I signed up to work at least 50 hours a week. Am I legally allowed to count work calls and texts I get at home towards that 50 hours? I will certainly be challenged by my boss. Can I be fired for this?

I work for a “financial advisor” whose solution to everything is not to read the e-mails, not to actually understand the client relationship or needs but to simply throw it at me and say it has to happen “NOW” in as obnoxious a voice as possible. “Send the 1099s for Mr. Jones now. And the 1099s for Thompson now. No, actually go see what this person meant by her e-mail. And can you look up this person’s tax bracket NOW? No, put that aside, I need you to overnight this now. No, now send a $1,000,000 wire NOW!” And guess what? It can’t all fucking happen now at once. Maybe that’s why there are 8 hours in a day. Hell, 60 minutes in an hour, the most basic patience would solve it. The only thing you get if you snarl NOW at me is I have to slowdown because you’ve…
