Month: September 2022

I mean I am an idiot. But it gets really depressing getting constantly disrespected when all I do is show up and try my best. Constantly whispered about. Constantly at the butt-end of passive aggressive power moves. Fuck “it’s just business”. Harassment isn’t business. The worst part is I can’t do anything about it either because it’s always passive aggressive. Never obvious. Always “coy”. I can never fully catch them in the act without freezing due to my social anxiety…so they get away with it I hate working. I hate being around people. I hate not being seen as a human worthy of respect for crappy pay. I’m ALWAYS cordial and respectful to people. But to everyone else I’m a joke. There’s nothing I can do. I get treated this way everywhere I go. I don’t want to work anymore. I just want to be left alone

My job had me and a bunch of new people work labor day and none of us are getting paid time and half for it since we haven't been here for a year while everyone else gets it. It's not even many older workers. It's like 75% new people and 25% veteran workers. It seems kinda unfair that me and the other don't get the extra pay especially since we dont even wanna be there while every other job has the day off

So I’m sure this is going to sound really minor, because it’s just entering numbers, but it has become really tedious to do every single day. Before the pandemic, this is how the timekeeping for my contracting company worked: You come into the office, you sit there for 8 hours, you fill in your online timesheet, and you leave. No one comes to check if you are in the office or if you are even doing any work. As of the beginning of the pandemic, this is how it now works: -Continue using the online timesheet to fill out your time for every day of the week -On the 3/5 days that we telework, fill out an HR-created Excel spreadsheet to mark your time on telework days -On telework days, send a log-in email and a log-out email Every day. No filling in days in advance. No filling in days…

The position is for retail management

Why are you treated like you are antisocial and ostracized if you choose to go home and be with your family or prefer to keep your work life separate? Just got a new job and now I have to spend weeks meeting up after work or doing lunches. I just want to work. Let me put in my 8 hours and go home. I’m not antisocial. I have boundaries but management will freak out if I even imply that I don’t want to hang out. Why can’t I go to the gym, be with my friends and family, or be by myself? It’s exhausting. Where can I draw the line? I don’t drink at all. No interest in being in a bar just because everyone else is there. The job shouldn’t be everything.

I am an almost 21yr old, who just got his own place (2 months so far), I have no saved money, no car, and am trying to move to a better place. My rent is 650 a month, my gas bill is ~35, and my electric (per month, due to it being almost 100 in my apartment if I turn the air off) is 150. At the first job, working full time, I would make 960 a check, but with no money saved, bills always being due, and need 250 bucks to get into my place, I have been slowly making ground, but barely. With bills and food, I have maybe 5 dollars left over if I'm lucky. I cook in bulk, I carpool to work, and I still barely break even. So I've gotten a second part time job working for red lobster for about 6hrs a week, and…

I’ve been at several different jobs in several different industries only to have the same story: get abused beyond the 40 hours per week despite setting extremely clear expectations I’m only in the job roles for work-life balance, get abused repeatedly by female bosses (I can’t seem to get hired on by males), and constant guilt tripping when I try to take a day off even for something important such as the doctor’s. Our US Employment laws sucks for salary employees. There's nothing in the law that protects us or future mothers. It sucks for those who want to do family planning & really want to have a kid. I don’t want to continue working 40+ hours a week – not be able to enjoy any hobbies, be so anxiety ridden about my next to-do at the job, rarely see family, rarely see friends, never get an opportunity to travel.…

I'm sorry if this is not the best place to post… I'm somewhat new to this. I was excited to accept my job as a utility dispatcher to move my husband and I across the country. I've been doing it for a few years already, so I didn't think it would be much of a change. The following happened within three months of being hired: The recruiter offered me 4 weeks to pack up, prep to sell my house, and move as she knew it would take me awhile. My bosses asked me to shorten it to 3 weeks because they needed me in sooner, but gave the other new guy a week of vacation a week into training (so he basically had to start over after he got back). We ended up having huge problems that we had to fight through to move and is a long story. I…
