Another pissed off Keyholder/MOD and I closed the store early.

We work at a well-known parts store. After I started in August, the two positions that fall directly under the GM were vacated. The first position is responsible for completing inventory, making sure merchandise is in the correct spot, etc… The second works with local service centers and is responsible for dispatching parts delivery drivers; this position is being phased out in favor of a remote call center. They have been vacant since Sept. and Oct., respectively. Since then, the other team members and I have picked up the responsibilities of the two positions without being compensated for doing so. Despite the two former employees making a combined rate of an estimated $30/hr, the remaining team members have not received a raise. (I’m currently making 10.75/hr as a keyholder/MOD.) One of the other keyholders has been gunning for the first position (the inventory one), but has constantly been told by…

You know an employer is super desperate when…

You stop and save an unfinished online job application because you found out management was crap and for a month they keep calling you wanting to know why you didn't finish the application. I didn't even know they could look into your application before you finished it.

I need encouragement to quit my job.

I’m in the mindset that I should stick it out. Continue working Pat the multiple years I’ve already put in. Maxed out the pay which is still insulting. I have a weird attatchment to this job I need to get rid of. I need to just not show up tomorrow. Can I get some encouragement and some hype? I’m not feeling super confident rn.

I’m being forced to step down, am I obligated to train my replacement?

I had a chat with my boss last week, and he informed me that due to my underwhelming performance over the last few months, his bosses do not want me to keep my current job, but are willing to let me stay with the company in a smaller capacity. I declined the offer, but agreed to work this week to finish up some projects that I had started. My replacement has already been announced, and it's a woman that I cannot stand – I would argue that her meddling played a big part in my poor performance in recent months because executives kept sending her over to “help” me. Do I have to train her at all? I would feel more inclined if I vacated my position on my own accord, but higher-ups gave it to her without my consent. I worry that I could get sued because this is…

I used to admire capitalism…

…but now I just want to spend time with my wife and daughter. I can't believe why anybody would want to work. I spend 50 of my conscious hours in a place I don't want to be with people I don't want to see, just so I can barely scrape by. My wife will plead with me and ask me to call off work so that we can spend another day together, and I have to disappoint her because I don't have any other choice. Working with people who are suffering just as much as I am, but who will call people using food stamps parasites. They have forgotten who the enemy is. We are all just trying to live the best we can. What does it matter how people get their money? I don't even hate rich people. They got out. Sure, they are the bastards who are the…
