Month: July 2023

I made a post roughly two or three weeks back about my CEO verbally abusing me, my coworkers, and my manager. This wasn't the first time, but this is the first time I had decided to stand up against it and defend myself and others. I didn't use any cuss words, I didn't name call, I didn't yell, I just simply stood my ground indefended our respect and work ethic. Conveniently within two to three weeks time, they suddenly had an outburst of write-ups against me and had me terminated, despite four and a half months of constant praise from management and the CEO of how good I was doing. The key issues, besides the verbal abuse, is that from what I heard from my coworkers who were leaking information in me, there were already talks about having me removed after that day. There was even a meeting, with the…

I’m a college student home for summer, and I got this great job as a pharm tech. $20 an hour, which is much more than I’m used to, it’s not too stressful, just all around a great job for a summer vacation. About a week ago, my boss called me in to ask when I’d like my last day to be, since I’m returning to school in a few weeks. I said august 3rd, so she asked me to put in a written 2 week notice 2 weeks before that. I said sure, they’ve been good to me overall and if this helps them I have no problem giving them a notice. Yesterday was 2 weeks before the third, so I went in and asked how to do a written 2 week notice (do I need any official documents, would writing it on a post it work, etc). She then…

So I work as mental health professional in the UK and my employer sends through clients to me. I am an employee, not a contractor. I don't have much to do with my employer except for invoicing and starting new clients. I got an email out of the blue asking for a phone meeting and when they called today I said 'before we start how will I be able to fill out the time sheet for this?' and she stuttered a bit and explained it's just a quick call and it's unpaid. I explained I've blocked off time that I could be seeing clients to take this call and if it's unpaid I can't continue with the conversation. Literally heart racing to after standing up for myself but I bet everyone else is doing it unpaid and not questioning anything. I was on the phone for 1 minute. Hopefully this…

After clearing 3 rounds to be a 'Store Assistant' I had the final round with the store manager. I was called in at 11 and I reached in time. The manager doesn't show up till 11:15 and I went to the till and asked them to call the manager. He comes and gives me a 1-page doc to read and says he will be back in 2mins. It's 1130 and no signs of him. He comes and asks me to help one of the employees stock. I do that for 15mins and nobody is around to even see and evaluate my work. Nobody to tell me if I am doing it right, picking heavy stuff right or what I could do better. I was given no gloves/safety wear and a packaging box gave me a cut. That is when I lost it and stormed out. I also realized there was…
