I realized I’ve been doing stuff that’s not stated in my contract. How do I take a step back? Any suggestions

Hi everyone, I recently as in 5 minutes ago decided to go review my Job Duties as stated in my contract and I realized I have been performing activities outside of my contract for the last 8 months. My boss asked and I always said yes but now I realized I could just have said no, or yes if I was getting payed more for it. Is there any good way to change this in my favour or did I dig myself a hole for doing all of it for this long without really noticing? My workplace is good and I have mostly positive feelings about my job so I don’t want to burn any bridges but also my direct supervisor is changing in a few weeks and I think it would be a good opportunity for me to bring this stuff up.

Used to fantasize getting into a car accident on the way to work

Not enough to die or to be seriously injured, just a fender bender to inconvenience me. Every morning I would feel sick to my stomach driving in (45 minute commute) and every evening I would dread the drive back home, knowing I’d be back the next day. I’ve got a new opportunity lined up, thank god. No one should have almost-suicidal ideation due to their work, no one should have to feel physically ill at the prospect of going to work.

This was a Facebook post from someone who lives in my hometown. Unfortunately, the comments aren’t people saying “nowhere because 15 year old kids shouldn’t be working”.

When their starting wage is almost the same as their minimum hiring age, it’s no wonder they’re hiring…

One month left and needing some motivation

I'm in my 11th month working a job where I have 0 days PTO the whole first year (yeah, I know. I was mislead). I hate this fucking job and every day I wake up fighting the urge to walk out, but I need to make it one more month so I can use my hard earned PTO in May and then get the hell out. I'm needing words of wisdom and advice to push through this final month. Thank you!!

No 2 week notice

This is just a general dumb question but is there actually any consequences for not putting in a two week notice. no call no show.

job decreased pay after training

my partner recently started a new job (food service) at $20/hr, has been working there for about a 2 weeks with everything going fine other than not receiving a lot of direction / genuine training. after he got off his shift today, one manager was working on payroll and texted him to ask what the other manager agreed to pay (shift ended @ 4:30 pm, texts received @ 9:30 pm). he told them $20/hr and then Other Manager texted saying his pay dropped to $15/hr + tips after his first 3 training shifts. wth is this ?? anyone ever encountered this before ?
