I understand that this community has a restriction against screenshots of text messages. But when they are posted, how do we know that they’re real? Do the mods do some kind of verification? The bosses in these messages are sometimes so evil that it’s hard to believe (Which I know actually does happen).
Month: September 2022
Upper Management: “You know how long these things take…” 🤮 I did my manager job for ~6 months before formally receiving the appropriate title and compensation while we negotiated. My daily duties didn’t change with the announcement. Can I reasonably claim the title on my resume from the time I started the work (and they first offered the promotion) or should I start it from the announcement date? Their systemic habit of doing that to employees is one reason I don’t want to work there anymore, but is that philosophy too anti-work for corporate business? Let’s discuss before I bomb my career or something stupid.
Morning Sickness/Dread/Stomach Issues
A lovely redditor made a post about the urge to want to call off everyday. That is me. I have actually fucked up jobs giving into this urge. I mentioned on the thread I had awful nausea in the morning, and I couldn't believe how many of you experience the same. It usually goes a little something like this. Within about ten seconds of opening my eyes, I feel dread. Intense dread. It is usually earlier than I need to be up, so I lay there with this awful anxiety. Part of me wants to stay under the covers until I absolutely have to get up, the other part thinks I should just get up and get going. The nausea is intense. I get down my coffee, but the thought of food in the morning makes me sick. I will gag as I'm getting ready and dry heave a few…
Bonding leave for new born
I'm a male who works for a company that gives 3 months bonding leave, with both of us giving him constant attention the doctor told us that his motor skills and social skills are at a 4 month which made me so happy. I feel like this should be a standard for any company in the US but it's not and wish it would change because it's a safety concern being that sleep deprived. Well that is my rant
I'm 29f I live in Canada and for 8 years I worked at a McDonalds in my town. I started there when I was 21 worked my butt off and gave my 100% that's just the way I was raised. After years of slaving away for that place I was never giving much praise. Came in early,stayed late, picked up shifts did anything they wanted. I'm so good at that job the local paper did a story on me and my customer service because I'm so up beat and happy in spite of that place. So recently I found out I make less then everyone that works with me in the morning. I was pissed and insulted. So fuck them a lady who knows me from the window gave me a gave me a refrence to her boss at the local University for a catering company. I asked around and…
It really is that easy.
CEO hypocrisy at its finest
My employer's former CEO went on to be a LinkedIn motivational grifter and business 'expert' and just posted, on the quiet quitting trend, 'how can anyone with an ounce of self respect not give 100% at their job, no matter how bad it gets?' During his tenure as CEO wage increases never exceeded 1% of salary, and the performance bonus was cancelled every year whether staff met their targets or not. How does anyone have the brass neck to be so fucking hypocritical?
So I work at a large Canadian coffee company. When my location first opened, there were several people who prepared food for the next day, cleaned, etc. All the others have been fired or quit. Throughout the summer they’ve had me working 5 days a week and called me in on my days off. Whenever they didn’t, they’d just deal with nobody preparing the food for the next day. And when I’d return, they’d complain about them not doing it. I’m also the only person that cleans past the mandatory things. I clean under the soupwell, in the sinks, above the toaster, wherever people don’t do it. I’m also the only person that knows how to. Now they have nobody to do it. I got tired of their bullshit and put in my two weeks after a shift last night – and immediately got job offers starting at CAD 16/hour,…
