Month: April 2023

Do I need to sign this contract? The company didn't have any contracts like this to sign last year. The company has gone down the shitter in recent months, with them needing to fire their CEO, among other things. I refuse to take full responsibility if my expensive bass gets damaged beyond repair or stolen while on the job. If this isn't the right place to post something like this, please point me to a subreddit where it would be. Thanks, guys 🙂 ​ https://preview.redd.it/hmhri2kmdxva1.png?width=665&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=e405b3c9d7488bc3afa86cd5e960353034fad6d4

Let me start with saying I am a people pleaser 🫠 I really have a hard time saying no because I feel like it devalues me as an associate. We do a taxi service for dogs at my work to transport them to daycare and back home. It started with her asking me to pick up one dog. Then bring him home. Next it was her two dogs. She really wanted me to bring them to her at home because and didn’t want to come get them. She lives on the opposite side of town and I live in a town over. Effectively doubling my drive home. Some days I don’t mind. But lately it seems like it’s all I’ve been doing. To the point where I’m already expecting to do it for her because she doesn’t “feel good” that day or is having a “Rough morning.” What really bugs…

I started at a new job at the start of the year and it’s just kind numbingly boring but that’s not the point. I have a coworker who has been with this company for 17 years. She’s never been giving a promotion, but she gets her yearly $1 an hour raise. She’s making about $75,000 a year right now. About 10 years into working for the company they opened a new location and transferred all of the people in her position to that facility and offered to help with moving costs. She didn’t want to move so she drives 90 miles both ways to and from work. She also works the offered 2 hours of overtime every day (starts at 4am) and works every Saturday for 8 hours of over time as well. Today she showed us her workforce page and she has accumulated 3,500 hours of paid time off.…

So I’ve bought my boss lunch a few times when she can’t go out and she always says she will pay me back but I think she’s paid me maybe 2-3 times. It’s never huge purchases, but it does add up. I don’t want to be a nag but at the same time I kinda need the money. I know this group is usually go for the jugular, but seriously, how do I professionally handle this? I’ve tried to not get her lunches but it still comes up sometimes and I never get paid back. What would you do?

As the title says, I had my annual review today(everyone in the company gets their yearly reviews at the same time). My manager fought to get us a raise. But she informed us that the people at the top didn't want to give us any raise this year. I work in logistics in the US in customer service. Due to all of the snow that the midwest faced this winter, a few of our depots are still behind, just due to 100+ inches of snow that came from the winter. One of them has around 200 shipments on their dock plus about six trailers that are waiting to be unloaded, and freight doesn't stop coming in, just because they're behind. With that all being said. The reason the higher ups didn't want to give us any sort of increase in pay is because of all of the weather delays, despite…

Yesterday my wife had a serious accident while cooking, and I took her to the hospital. Everything turned out okay, but she was crying the whole night. I didn’t want to leave her alone (I work Night Shift) and called off that night and the night after. I called my manager and my manager told me to get a doctor’s not stating that she can’t be left alone. My company has a policy that allows you to take unlimited paid time off. This is in Seattle, Washington. Am I required to provide a doctor’s note?
