Month: July 2023

Guess the state? My daughter got a job, that doesn’t staff itself well at all. They had someone quit and they needed someone to cover. She goes in, and works for 9.5 hours, only being provided a 10 minute break to eat, which was paid for. Forgive me if I’m wrong, but I feel that if you’re going to be utilizing child labor, you should be planning ahead well enough so that you don’t go against child labor guidelines.

Thirty minutes before my 10 hour shift was scheduled to end, my supervisor approached me and four other coworkers saying “We are staying late today for a couple of hours to do some rework.” He didn't ask nicely, he just told us what we were going to do. I immediately said that wasn't happening and that at 4pm, I was out the door. I was so proud of my other coworkers as they each told him “Nope, not happening”. We just worked 10 hours today and will be working ten hours of overtime this coming Friday. It felt so good as the boss kind of shuffled away in defeat.

As the title states. Failed random drug test for THC because of delta 8. Employer isn’t going to fire me, but is making me go to counseling sessions once a month and its two hours of my time. Do they have to pay me? It’s a right to work state btw…

So I’m a supervisor and today I had to deal with an incident with an employee. Nothing violence related but health related. I’m not going into details since I know my boss frequents Reddit but I don’t know if we handled the situation correctly. The employee was having a serious medical issue and I had sent them home however there was a huge concern on if they could even make it home. 911 was called as per protocol even though they didn’t want it and repeatedly said that they were fine and could make it home (they could barely stand) so Reddit I ask you, did we mess up going against this persons wishes or did we do the right thing?

For reference, we are a café establishment and the jobs we staff are barista/cashier, and cook. Coworker was a barista/cashier same as me. We’ve been having issues with the till coming up short/over by weird amounts and apparently last week it was under by 10$. The establishment is COVERED in cameras, there’s 2 blind spots and neither are near the register and the owner spends a ridiculous amount of time watching us on the cameras any day she doesn’t come in. My coworker called me in tears earlier because she’s been fired from the job we both worked at (I have been out sick for a week or so with COVID so I have no clue what’s going on there). When she arrived to begin her shift at 3, our general manager said they needed to talk, and brought her into the “office”. He started by telling her the close…

I'm feeling a mix of emotions as I write this post. After an entire year of unemployment due to being laid off from my previous job because of downsizing, I finally received a job offer from a new company. Initially, it felt like a glimmer of hope amidst the struggles, nightmares, and exhausting ordeal of the recruiting process. However, my excitement turned to severe disappointment when I realized I had fallen victim to a bait-and-switch situation. Throughout the hiring process, the recruiter assured me that the job was fully remote, which was crucial for me. But at the final stages of the interview, they dropped the bombshell that it's an onsite job, and I could only negotiate remote work after three months. I feel utterly lied to and betrayed, especially after enduring countless rejections and navigating the recruiting hell. It's frustrating to finally receive an offer, only to discover that…
