Advice for first job
I just got a a job as a cashier at a fast food restaurant. I'm 23 years old and this is my first job ever due to my really extreme anxiety. Most of my coworkers/managers have been helpful and understanding in training me and showing me how to do things. Most of the time things have been going smoothly and I have learned and corrected any mistakes that I've made. However, I think that my GM does not like me. She has tried to show me how to do things but I have trouble hearing people, especially with how loud the kitchen is and with the music blasting. She also has an accent and speaks very quickly, I am often asking her to repeat herself more than once or not doing what she says immediately. I feel really awful about this, I am not trying to cause problems. She gets…
hi all ! recently things at work have been pretty awful and i went ahead and filed an eeoc claim. however, whenever i try to schedule an interview the site says there’s no appointments available, and when i call their phone number all i get is a busy tone ? what should i do next? i work at a small local store and the claim is against management and the owner so i can’t exactly go to them about it.
Hi, I work for place that makes the things that hold two pieces of metal together. I had started there at the beginning of last October. I did the training, got certified for the things I need to be certified in. The best part, I was never late and never missed a day. Each batch I am responsible for gets checked by the quality department to make sure it's up to snuff, I have yet to get a batch rejected by the quality department. When I finished training I was told I would get a 50 cent raise (huge raise right there). I completed training at the beginning of January, tomorrow is March and I still have yet to receive that raise. The company also gives everyone a raise at the beginning of the new year. Those raises just came out today, my coworker B (bless this man) showed me…

This one in particular was destroyed and looted numerous times by the residents there – he once told me he had already file over a dozen insurance claims against the property totaling over 250K according to him, normally we didn't deal with these homes, his right hand guy did personally for obvious reasons. He bragged that he was making more on insurance claims than rent. Later when his wife died he bragged to us that he stole it back by convincing one of his friends to testify that there was a contract for the return…
Or are the processes confuse? Do you know who is responsible for what ?
Our employer called us all for a meeting except the person being fired (classic I guess). He told us that our colleague will be getting fired in a few days and to prepare his work to be outsourced. I have a very good relationship with the imminently dismissed. The employer's decision to tell us before telling our colleague had me (foolishly?) thinking of three possible outcomes: I forewarn my coworker and the cunning employer understands that I told him by the possible lack of genuine response of the dismissed, I tell nothing and the cunning employer points out that he has already told me, so no need to tell us (I am 90% sure he will say that), and my coworker will feel betrayed for not being warned by me, I say to my boss something along the lines “you shouldn't tell us first, now I will be saying my…
needing to get this off my (sick) chest
Hey guys. Im writing this bc i guess i just need to get it off my chest (thats very sick with some kind of upper respiratory illness) and to get support from my people on here that im doing the right thing. Sorry I'm trying to use humor to deal with things right now. Im sick, ive been staying home and Im scheduled to go back to work at my restaurant tomorrow. I thought id see how im feeling but since im still sick, ive decided i have to go ahead and call off my shift. I'm bummed because not only does working help my mental health but also as a single mom, even missing a couple days of work will affect me financially, as I don't get paid sick days. I do plan on going to get tested for Covid in the morning..I know the right thing to do…
