Month: July 2023

Am Indian and must admit, there was a time in my life when I wanted to move to the US, thought that there were better wages, living conditions and I can live a comfortable life there. But for some reason, I chose to postpone the studies/work plan and I never actually got around to it…these days after reading posts from this sub, I realise….both India and US are shit and it's a good thing I didn't move…at least here I have a comfortable life and can afford things….in US , I will surely be homeless….i feel really bad for all of us, am not talking down about the US, what we go through is a global problem, some of the issues faced by the US are also prevalent in India, I just feel we as people must collaborate and organise sans borders. just a thought.

You can tell someone is a shitty manager when their solution to having a weak team is to make their best employee compensate for it. I work at a pizza restaurant as a delivery driver and I'm told pretty often by my GM that I'm his best driver, at the same time though the responsibility of making up for people calling out will often fall on me. Being asked to close when people call out. We literally have drivers that will sit in their cars doing fuck all or standing around talking while I'm in the back doing dishes or sweeping. Barely anything is done about it. At one point half of our delivery team was doing crap like that and the only reason it's any different is because most of those people quit on their own accord My manager knows that I'm going through a financial crisis (I'm legally…

At my company we accrue PTO and sick days. We also have a few days to use for floating holidays (birthdays, etc.). We get paid bi monthly and each paycheck accrues 3.36 hours or something like that. So at the end of the month we accrue 6/7ish hours, not even 8 hours which is a full day! I rarely use sick days except in the winter when I actually get a cold or something and I mostly use them for mental health days. I’ve now accrued 114 hours of sick days and only have like 38 hours of PTO, which I’m not even sure how it’s that low as I can’t remember the last time o actually took a vacation. Anyway, do you use sick days even when you’re not sick? I feel like it’s such a waste to accrue all these hours and not really able to take them…

I work at a chiropractic clinic with another girl. Our boss had a secret baby (as in she went on “personal leave” for a few months saying “she was having family issues” and then came back to work with a 3 month old baby). She now is wanting to come back to work full time, but expects me and my coworker to watch her baby while we’re working. We’re both receptionists, so this is pretty much impossible. We expressed this to her, and her response was “so decide which of you wants to sit in the back with her for the shift and which of you wants to be at the front”. We then flat out told her that we weren’t comfortable with that because it wasn’t part of our job requirements when we were hired. Her response was to then edit our training manual and write (and I’m quoting)…
