I work over nights at a grocery store and discovered on my first shift it’s not a good fit. I also got thrown into the mix with no training and I’ve tried to tough it out but it’s not working 2 nights ago I called in sick, last night I regrettably no call no showed them and this morning my manager text me asking if I can come in early tonight with no mention of what I’ve done.. I’m feeling anxious over the whole thing I’ve burned my bridges and don’t want to go in just to be treated poorly. Do I tell my manager over text that I’m done or just not show up again? Edit; I also needed a background check for this job and will this show up on mine now if I stop going ?

I'm providing this obvious advice because as I read this sub regularly, there isn't a day (hour?) that goes by that I don't read: “Yeah, well, uhm… he told me that on the phone…” RECORD EVERY PHONE CALL (INCOMING and OUTGOING). HIT THE RECORD BUTTON EVERY TIME YOU GO INTO WORK. You cannot go back in time. You cannot record after-the-fact… after you've been ambushed by your boss, threatened, harassed, written up, fired, or even assaulted. You have to learn to be PROACTIVE. Respectfully, it simply DOES NOT MATTER what the laws are in your state/country about two-party vs one-party notification. Record them anyway. As a practical matter, the only time it becomes an issue is if it is presented as evidence to an agency or a court, and then the worst case is that it is dismissed as inadmissible (and even then the judge is not going to forget…

I was accused by a moderator of using chat gpt for my post when I did not. This is my literal experience. I was assaulted by a manager at the McDonald’s I work at.

I moved to a new state, lost my clientle, and had to work at a great clips for a few months until i found new barbershop to work out of. They over work the staff. I asked about breaks at orientation and i was told by a manger “i dont give a fuck if your stomach is eating a hole through your back, if we're busy, you're not taking a break”. They would force us to work non stop when we were busy, and force us to clock out when we were slow. What sense does that make? I dont need a break if we're slow, but if we're busy all day, i need a damn break. Even telling us that we can't leave the shop on our UNPAID break, incase we get busy. Most of the money you make goes to the owner. You're basically living off tips like…

I've been multiple times in different ways from my current company. When I hear this statement, I cannot help but think “they're trying to hide their own problems” or best case scenario “there's a huge problem elsewhere in the industry”.

I’ve worked for my family business for the last three years that I helped start. I have been paid same salary for three years and been given no raises or bonuses despite asking multiple times and the company flourishing and making millions. I started looking for work and was offered salary that’s $25k more + 2.5% commission of companies net sales.. life changing money for me. This company wanted me to start immediately. AITA for leaving and giving family little notice?
