Month: July 2023

I went in to work yesterday. I asked for a break and my boss said the only way I would get a break is if I stayed over an extra 30 minutes. She stressed that if I did this, there would be no coverage for the office and my workload would pile on. I took a photo of the timeclock with my cellphone which was the only way to prove my time was being cut daily. The timeclock clearly states I clocked in last Monday at 5:25am and clocked out at 14:30pm. The total hours worked are totaled up as 8. The clock deducted an hour when I never moved from my desk. I then went home and submitted a wage complaint with the DOL as many of you suggested. I hope something happens with this but I can't physically prove I never moved. I can however prove I never…

My father passed away and I have already used all my days of Bereavement, however due to logistical and financial constraints, the funeral won’t be happening until the week after. I am returning back to work, but if I leave for the days of the funeral I will be let go. that’s fucked up right ? I’ve already mentally checked of this job but I also need the money :/.

Started a job more or less 6 months ago, and while i've been paid well and had good conditions here, I've hated it from week 1. I hate the product i'm supporting. I dislike the way my team works and communicates. I've not been effectively trained, and my direct colleague/manager hoards work from me leaving me sticking out like a sore thumb. Now management has twigged that the product is way behind where it should be in terms of schedule and functionality and more and more work is being heaped on to me, but its too late. I'm just emotionally drained, and am waiting for the right time to hand in my notice. Most likley Monday. I'm in a financial bind tbh, but I have plans to make some money online, and after a month of me time to recover after a tough 2.5 years or so personally I have…

I (22f) work as a cook for a small business in a small tourist town. I applied as a barista but the only job available was for cook so I accepted it because I really needed a job. I have been there almost a year now and my boss has me do every task under the sun and then gets upset because I am unable to complete tasks in the kitchen on time. I told her that I need to focus on kitchen duties first rather than side jobs and she told me “I knew this day would come where you get upset about working here I've had a few people upset because they're doing stuff outside their job description but there's a reason I've never given a job description. You weren't given a job description or title so there should be no expectations. I need you to do these…

Bwahahaha!

Companies deny FMLA. Steal our wages. Force disabled individuals to kill themselves just to survive. People don't care, the govt doesn't care so why should we? When all other available options have been struck down, I'm genuinely asking WTF do we do?

I work in a luxury company. The salary was not high but hours are good and the work is really organized, so I liked it. Every single coworker was truly skilled, the environment was great and we could talk in group about salary and everything. Recently our city got an insane price inflation, so our salary went from “not high” to “not enough to live”. We talked with the manager collectively and he accepted to rise our salary (our department is going great, the company has huge profits). He was a good person. Then he had a sudden heart attack. The company didn't promote anyone of us, instead hired a new manager from outside. The new one blocked our salary increase. Also new shifts are terrible. Some of the best workers left. The new manager substituted them with young attractive girls that don't know absolutely anything about the job, it's…
