Month: November 2022

So, I've been working at my town's local subway for just shy of for years, and he's a peice of shit all around, but lately one thing has been bugging me and I hope it fits here So, my boss has his own computer desk and chair that he sits at constantly. It's like he's not even here most days. He just sits on his chair and scrolls Facebook while watching us work on the cameras in front of him. None of us other employees are allowed to sit anywhere during our shifts. We get one break to eat n we sit in the lobby then, but past that we all have to stand. My boss will even sit at home and watch cameras to make sure we arent sitting on/at any tables or on his desk. It's irritating that he van sit his happy butt down as soon as…

Instead of protesting for high wages just decline the job offer. I work for an auto parts place…they just changed the rules to allow 16+ high schoolers to work…manager had a scary look in her eye and excitedly said “we only have to pay them minimum wage!!!” WRONG! you can offer them minimum wage they don't have to accept it…my state minimum is $10.34…last new (18+) hire started at $15.50. The lower she can keep payroll the higher her bonus…Just like many other businesses they are way understaffed. plan accordingly.

I feel a great deal of confusing hurt and frustration about a meeting I had with my supervisor, and I just need to vent for a minute. This is going to be lengthy, fair warning. I teach group fitness classes. A couple days ago, while reviewing my schedule for the day, I noticed the last of the 3 classes I teach had 2 ppl in it (there’s usually about 20+ ppl) and in the past, the gym manager has cancelled classes if there are less than 3 ppl. Because of this, I texted my supervisor (different from the manager) and asked them if we should cancel classes since there are only 2 ppl. I then went on to teach my classes without checking my phone and halfway thru my second class, one of the associates up front came and asked me if it was okay with me if the last…

Throw away account for obvious reasons Wellspan is changing its PRN nurse pay rates and is trying to bullshit its staff that they will make as much, when it's actually a rather significant drop in pay. Before the change, the pay rate was 44/hr for the first 24 hours/6 weeks then that + incentive ($15-25/hr lately). The new pay rates have 3 categories, and PRN is not eligeable for incentive pay: 1: 40/hr with 24 hours required per 6 weeks (loss of $96 if I work just those 24) 2: 44/hr with 36 hours required per 6 weeks, 12 of which must be on a weekend (no weekend diff) (even using the lowest incentive that's a loss of $180) 3: 48/hr with 48 hours required per 6 weeks, 24 of which must be on a weekend (loss of $168) I wouldn't care, except for the bullshit in the memo that…

I work in Arizona as a warehouse worker. I have worked in warehouse work for most of my adult life with the only certification obtained being for forklift operations. I recently got hired at a warehouse/office job.. with forklift functions representing 30% of my work. The company I work for is well known so I was surprised I got hired on since I only have my secondary diploma. It’s a small warehouse with very few workers.. my boss at times helping with tasks. The environment is great and it’s weird for me to even consider subscribing to a union.. but I want to increase my wages, receive benefits, and have proper representation. Like I mentioned, the environment is great.. at times it feels like I’m my own boss. I don’t know if my company has a union or if anyone is represented by one.. even though I DO NOT want…

So the job I have now gives us 5 sick days and 5 personal days. I decided to take 3 personal days off before we were off for an entire week due to kids being out of school (I work for a school district). I am a floater so I'm not chained to one job site, so unless I'm assigned somewhere for a week or so, there's nowhere expecting me to show up. I wasn't told I would be assigned anywhere for any length of time so I called the days in. No days are blacked out and no system exists to request time off to be approved. You just call in and that's it. I had the time accrued so I called in and gave notice. The next day I received a call from the supervisor and she told me that I was out of time to take off…

I write this knowing that I will be dead soon. I don't know how living would be possible for me. I have very little money left, and I won't get another job to allow me to live. It has been about 6 months since I came into an amount of money that allowed me to go on this long without a job. Thinking about working again brings up an extreme sense of fear for me, as I have never had a job in the last 14 years that hasn't ended well. I would like to live, but without an income is impossible. I will be, and have become, a burden to everyone around me if I continue like this. I do have a few people around me that don't wish for me to die. But, those same people continue to belittle me and tell me to get a job. No…
