What do you do when your boss pressures you to do illegal things but also, you’re an at-will employee?

And also also, your union rep may in fact be a goober who’s friendlier with admin than you feel comfortable with?

Management is not your friend. Management is nobody’s friend. If management was an ice cream flavor, it would be pralines and dick.

Work has thrown me into a spiraling depression. I’m on PTO. I don’t want to go back.

Thinking about going back makes my anxiety high. Could I technically quit while on PTO?

My manager have not talked to me since I got my Raise.

My manager has stopped interacting to me because I did not approach her during my appraisal period. She told me I would be getting 18 percent raise and I outrightly said NO to that. Then, I told her my expectation and she denied to take it further. Finally, I found someway through HR and higher management and I got my 30 % raise. But, my manager has stopped talking to me and screamed once that why people don’t come to her. She is biased af and I don’t talk to her too. I maintain decorum and speak only when it requires. Typo- Sorry for grammar mistakes. (I cannot edit the tittle) English is not my first language.

No small talk

I’ve always been an introverted person and I tend not to talk a lot unless I’m around familiar people. I’ve only started this job a month ago and already people are complaining and making comments about my lack of small talk and engagement with staff members. For instance, I was asked why am I so quiet by multiple people. Sometimes I don’t want to talk I’m tired or just not in the mood. Is it by force??? They look down on you if you don’t engage in small talk ask them about their day or what country their from etc. One manger said I’m clearly not here to make friends and mentioned why don’t I talk much. I just don’t want to talk or pretend that I’m interested when I’m not. Any advice?

Will I still get my final paycheck?

This is at Chick Fil A (they have an at-will employment), I called out on my last day and they're asking me to come in though I'm not going to anyways because I'm sick and things seem to have gone sour between me and the manager. Our pay day once every few weeks and was worried they might refuse to give me my paycheck. I'm under 18 if that matters.

Amazon is desperate.

I saw an ad on the side of a bus yesterday (was driving, so no pic) that showed a smiling warehouse worker and the words, “No interview necessary.” That seems…not normal.
