Month: July 2023

I’m not a fan of how it’s run and how I’m treated. Worked there for weeks only to be yelled and cursed at. Not even paid. There are “problems” with me getting tips but I’ve been far too patient. I also won’t be able to keep up with schoolwork. Is there a two week notice or can I quit and never come back. I don’t feel like coming in for the next two weeks. I’m wrapping up this weekend by working 22+ hours. Will finally get my pay check today hopefully.

I asked a similar question in another subreddit and got answers I didn’t like.

Just wonder what steps I can take to escape this hell? I get treated like trash every day, can’t take any more retail. What careers can I reasonably pivot to, I’m 22

Okay, this whole thing took place over a period of a month (June-July). So, I got this job at a fast-food chain (franchised). I was excited because I ended up getting this job thru a long-time friend, of which we mended our relationship that went south due to a previous miscommunication. Anyway, she was hired on as a General Manager in-training, and I got a spot on crew at a restaurant location 30mins+ away from my house because the location I applied to was dealing with construction. So, I end up working there for a month before I noticed the biggest red flag in my life: the nightshift boomer manager — a team lead — always slurred his speech and was overly-friendly, but would simultaneously lose his cool at the smallest thing. Then I found out: He was an alcoholic who drank on the job…and management wouldn't fire him despite…

I’m one of several managers that report to a director. One of my co-workers complained to me this morning that when her teams sends emails to my team that they’re slow to respond. I asked her for an example and she cited one where her team member sent mine an email at 10:15am. My team member responded at 4:30pm. That’s only about 6 hours which I think is very reasonable. Another was sent at 2pm on a Friday and my team provided an answer by 10am the following Monday. I told her that one business day for a response is my expectation, even if it’s just an acknowledgment because the email may require research. I ask my team to let the recipient when they should expect another message. This didn’t go over well. She told me she implemented a 90 in 90 where she expects her team to answer 90%…

Let me preface this by saying I'm Bipolar type 1. I've spent almost the entire past 24 hours in a manic episode. I feel attacked and put in a corner. My thoughts are angry and wild. I cannot concentrate or think clearly, and I cannot eat. I've worked for the same company for almost 10 years. This is a satellite shop connected to a service corporation of around 50 to 60 employees. There has only ever been eight people in my shop, with four of those people being technicians. Yes, I made mistakes in life before I started here, and I actively attempted to rectify them and better myself. I do not have kids and I'm not married. I put 100% in my job everyday and document every single thing I do. The entire past 10 years has felt like a constant battle of harassment, which would be discriminatory in…

im sick and tired of this sh*t. even if you have worked for sed job for let's say 7+ years, these dipsh*ts still except you to have a degree no matter what, even tho having a degree don't mean jacksh*t.

My family and I recently just got through dealing with an eviction, that thankfully didn't result in us being homeless, regardless… I had told my supervisor of what was going on, and had to miss a couple days due to moving (couldn't make my injured fiancé do it) and afterward, because it was just me doing everything, I really hurt myself. I couldn't really walk for a few days afterward and on top of that I caught bronchitis. So even with doctors notes, ample notice and communication, in the last about 3 weeks I've missed about 6 days. So today, after everything has finally leveled out, and my life isn't a tornado anymore, he wanted to say to me how during the summer it was “unacceptable to miss any days for anything” that he “needed everyone to be as passionate and steadfast so we could turn our numbers around for…

At my current place of employment I have brought up 6 months ago that I was working well above my job description and ask that we look into a new job description as compensation package. Initially I this went well with the COO we originally had but he was laid off and a new COO took his place the conversation seemed good with the new guy too. But I was told until the company can clear it’s round A funding they can’t go forward with anything. That funding clearing has always been just a few weeks away. So here I am 6 months later with even more responsibilities and no pay but. So last night I started applying for new jobs and t felt liberating. It is also telling that what I asked for from my current company is at the absolute l low end for the jobs I am…
