Month: September 2022

I'm a bartender. I loved my job so much. I was always happy to be there and did my job well. The restaurant I worked at was corporate, but had only a few locations owned by the same families. I'd never really met any of the owners or office staff in the 6 months I worked there. Being on time is the one thing that I really have always struggled with, especially since I don't drive and there's no viable transit where I live. I used to be a lot worse (at other jobs), but since I started at this place I was only late a couple times. By late, I mean 2-3 minutes. Most days I arrive 4-7 minutes early or at the very least I'm hitting “clock in” at 5pm on the dot. That means I'm ready to work at 5pm since I go from the office to…

The more I browse this sub I realize how much I hate where my life has gone. Went from being an abused child to an awkward teen to a shitty officer, nothing meaningful to show for a wasted 26 years of my life other than major depression and ptsd. No friends, no family, no hobbies. I'm waiting to get discharged but all I see is horror stories on the news, and I wonder if I will even be able to survive as a civilian. Even got thrown in a psych ward and got abused by nurses and cockroaches due to “suicide risk”. I love how all the VA orientation revolves around how I should embrace corporate culture, work for money, be a manager. I can't manage 25 soldiers, how in fuck will I be able to manage a store!? The army took 2 of my soldiers, just kids out of…

Hello everyone. Before I get into the main point, I need to provide some details. New here btw so tell me if I’m doing anything wrong post wise. I currently work for a restaurant who’s primary dish’s are based around wings (fried chicken). I’ve been with them for almost a couple of months now and it’s been good for the most part. The only issue I have been having is in regards to my IBS. IBS stands for Irritable Bowel Syndrome, and it can cause waves of extreme crippling nausea and general cramps/stomach pain that’s slightly not as bad. However, as I’m sure you can imagine, working around raw chicken can be troublesome. I haven’t had any issues at work from it until today. I vomited at work and told my manager, in which he was going to send me home early due to health regulations. This wouldn’t have been…

They said they were going to offer severance to everyone and about half would the option to stay, they fired me for some bs 2 days after the severance was to be notified. I had said I would stay with the company, What the actual fuck? Do I have any legal recourse it seems like no.

This literally just happened and I don't know what to do from here. I was at dinner with my family after having a good day out (it's Labor day weekend for crying out loud) when I got a text from my boss that he needs me to remote into work and take care of a problem for a client ASAP. I told him that I was out to dinner and cannot get to it now, and he came back and said that I am salaried and that means I need to be available 24/7. I never signed anything saying I need to work overtime or off hours, and this was never discussed before. I explained again that I normally do not mind helping our or taking care of issues outside of normal hours, but I cannot just up and leave dinner, and he told me to not bother coming back…
