This was my third round of interviews. I was confident. It was a 2 hour in person interview. Nothing but red flags. One of their first few interview questions was “what was a moment you were proud of when you sacrificed something in your personal life for work?” I don’t sacrifice personal commitments for any job- that’s taking advantage of an employee. A sacrifice suggests not being compensated accordingly for the task. And then they told me they prided themselves on coming in early and leaving late- like 6 AM to 6:30 pm 5 days a week. Fuck that, as there was no mention of any overtime pay. This is a customer service job…. It’s not worth it. And then they showed me their office which had a white board with all the sales numbers and % written next to each persons name. In the corner of the board it…

I just started working at a location part time while I finish school for a corporate company and I realized on my paystubs that they are paying me under minimum. My manager agreed that it’s fucked up and tried to talk to them but he couldn’t get anywhere and told me to call HR and complain. How should I go about this? I know HR is only there to protect the company and I know there gonna use some excuse and I wanna make sure I’m prepared for the phone call. Any help or tips is appreciated. Edit: California

Original post here Hi all, an update: I spoke with HR on the phone last Friday, she said fine, she’ll dig deeper and meet with my managers but can’t change anything w/o discussion with upper management. This meeting has not yet happened. Our company is very small, 40 people at most, so this bureaucracy is frustrating… Also, we were told we were getting holiday pay for President’s day yesterday. My coworkers mentioned that it was already accounted for on their timesheets but it’s not on mine. Also learned we were meant to be paid holiday pay for Christmas & NY day as well, I received none of them. Assuming I qualify for at least 20hr PTO, this is now over $700 they are withholding from me but no one else. (Another “temp” person was paid for these holidays. Our contracts do not say temps get holiday pay but apparently other…

I don't want to process these samples (whole blood purple top) when they arrive. If I do my name will be associated with them. What's the best way to handle it. It's sometimes doctors blood. Other times it does not say. What will happen if they are caught and the test was run in my name? I'm doing CBC and sometimes they require chemistry. Can I report them?

I have the chance from a previous boss who set up their own company a couple years ago to go work for them. They’ve been trying to get me to go over there for almost a year and I’m just so over my current workplace I think it might be time. I’ve been at the current job for 3 years and I am basically am still there because the flexibility of scheduling and benefits – things that are so hard to come by these days. I would get more pay at the new place and work from home m. But it’s a start up so they don’t have full benefits, just money towards benefits. Fiancé has amazing benefits so once married I can switch over to his just makes me nervous not having the backup of benefits, 401k, etc. I get 2 days wfh and 3 days in office currently.…

Hey everyone! I am scheduled PTO this Friday and upcoming Monday. I occasionally work Saturday’s. When my PTO got approved, I emailed my boss and asked if I needed to also put PTO in for this Saturday. He said no because you are not scheduled. Today, the first thing said to me is you are scheduled this Saturday and expected to be there. I immediately said no I can not I am on PTO, and he said I would have to call in sick which would give me a point. (we’re on a point system and don’t get many per year, and I barely have any left until the summer.) Would HR be helpful in this since I have it in writing that I did not need to request the time off since I had that in writing? I physically can not be at work this Saturday and if I…

How is this even justifiable? + saying bullshit like “your job directly costs the company money if you can't perform well we cannot afford to provide you with a raise” like wtf? I feel like without me, the company would suffer. (I'm a shipper/receiver with no replacements besides management.) I'm sooooo done with begging for humane treatment. Being written up for sitting and calling in sick due to my current very bad health scares & problems.. Honestly, for my health I just want to take a break and go work at the local McDonald's or grocery store I can't do this.

why don't more companies give a shit about people with disabilities? i know not all companies are bad about being pro disability but why don't more companies follow this? don't they have to follow this under the ADA?
