Month: July 2023

Just looking for somebody who has some advice here, as it doesn’t seem right. Just a quick breakdown: 10 hour shifts with a 1 hour lunch. So, 45 working hours a week. I am salary, though. Anyways, pay statement is salary wage for 80 hours every 2 weeks. So that’s 10 hours every 2 weeks that isn’t accounted for. Im not sure if being salary just negates that entirely or if I’m being screwed here… Just some quick math shows that if I was paid for those 5 hours extra every week that I work, that would net me an additional 9 grand a year. Any insight?

Really don’t like my job or my coworkers in general and have been making steps towards quitting for a few months now. Still have time until I can start my new job but today I said fuck it. They treat me like an outcast and make fun of me constantly, especially when it comes to the fact of me not having a girlfriend. They call me gay and weird and make me feel uncomfortable all the time and today was it. Am off tomorrow and will be putting in my 2 weeks on Monday ️

I just need anyone to tell me it’s okay to quit because my mental health matters more than this bullshit. job is horrible and boss is a bitch. I just moved back with my parents so I’ll be okay financially. Someone just tell me it’s okay to quit please and thank you.

I saw a post that reminded me of this, but during the holiday season I was working a retail store, and my great uncle passed away. I was really close to him, and while his death wasn't a shock, since he had cancer, it really hit me hard. I let my manager know that I wouldn't be able to work on the day of his funeral, and she flat out told me that I had to find someone to cover my shift or I had to work, even though I would be four hours away by the time my shift started. I sent out shift swap requests up until the day before the funeral, and I flat out told my other manager that I wasn't going to be in tomorrow, because I was going to a funeral, and that the other manager knew, but expected me to find a cover…

I’ve spent the last week actually unwell, coming out of covid and just some other health stuff however not being at work for the last 7 days has had a significantly positive impact on me. I feel normal? My central nervous system feels calm and I just can’t describe how normal I feel. Like this is how I’m supposed to live my life. I’m sure if I was to continue to be off work I would become bored, but I haven’t attempted to really do anything with my time other than rest and relax, so I think in a few weeks I would probably start to pursue some projects, maybe do some walking exploring, cooking etc. I dunno man, I’m rethinking everything, I’ve always been anti-work but I now feel almost like I need to be an activist for changing the way the world lives their life and spends their…

Right, to start things off, I f*cking hate working here even if it is just a summer job before I go back to college again. My department manager does jackshit, they'll tell the associates to work something but she'll go else where, and usually it's to the break room to talk with the other managers and when I say talk I mean joke and play around. I suspect she wrote me up because it meant she had to work yesterday. You can see in the other post where is explicitly says that I was throwing up. Each day I'm getting more and more agitated with this store because first they took away our water and told us to use the water fountain which has a Bad water filter that has not been replaced as long as I've been here. Now I get written up for working an 1 to 8…

I’d like to see us all put that tool to use some day ️ in the form of a massive general strike!
