Month: January 2023

I worked for almost two years for a huge security company who has a contract with my local call center which belongs to a national pharmaceutical chain. I worked my way up from regular guard to the third in charge on the site of 10-12 guards, and a 7-3 Monday through Friday schedule. I had a chance to transfer but would have took a “demotion” and lost my weekends but maybe I should have to keep a paycheck. The past few months I’ve been putting up with a lot of passive aggressive behavior from my team lead and account manager. If I make a honest mistake I get threaten with termination outright. If my team lead takes off every week and I know he never apply for FMLA, never brings in a doctor excuse expect for once, he doesn’t get told about it. He gets mad at me when I…

i havé a written list of at least twelve jobs i’ve applied to in the past month and i’ve gotten either rejected from them (multiple times) or no response at all. my current job treats me and all of my coworkers like shit and my boss refuses to give me hours, i literally work 2 days a week. i had a meltdown earlier because i got my bills and i can’t afford groceries for the month. i’m a part time student paying her own tuition, what am i supposed to do?? i cant survive like this. am i doing something wrong??

No longer in that job, but the title speaks for itself. Technically it's there for employee use.

I’ve been in my position, as an assistant manager at a national retail store, for 2.5 years and have been passed for the store manager job for the second time. Both times were after a lengthy period of not having a manager and those were the most successful periods of time the store has had. I was passed over the first time for a person who had no experience and was really bad at it but making $5 an hour above my pay…and when she left without notice i went back to running the store and managed to turn it around…only to find out today that I’d been passed over again. I didn’t even rate a conversation about it, I was just told to put someone on the schedule I was making and had to ask if she was the new manager…when the DM verified it, I just said ‘this…

Tales from working as a line tech at a private airport (FBO). For further clarification a line tech is basically a full service gas station attendant for small to business class aircraft. Not that you should shy away from an FBO job but my base was mostly a hub for sports charters and executives/celebrities/politicians. Very rare to see a student pilot or military. Most executives wouldn't tip. The ones that did usually gave $20 to the one person who handled bags. I had an unwritten policy that we split tips at the end of the shift, but I digress. $20 usually landed around a .15%-.008% tip. And unlike most high-end services, gratuity is not included. This got really infuriating when I Google your net worth and compare my excitement level when I find $20, and it would take $38,000 for you to be just as excited. Then you get to…
