Basically I’m just venting and figured this might be the best subreddit for it. I work a job between 3 medical offices and specifically requested full time hours because I’m young and broke. Not only did I not get full time hours, the company I work for just announced that one of the offices is eliminating my position entirely due to budget cuts. I also wasn’t given a day off that I requested and when I confronted someone about it, they told me to find my own coverage. I am beyond frustrated with everything and I feel like it’s all been so poorly handled, especially with the position cut. I know it isn’t personal but other people work in that position too and a bunch of us are totally screwed. I’m actually one of the lucky ones for working at 2 other offices. Also, to make matters worse, I don’t…

So I work in corporate – the typical mediocre 9-5. My manager claims to be flexible, yet the only time we can work from home is if we are sick. Of course, that rule doesn’t apply to her. She works from home whenever she feels like and leaves early nearly every day. And she texted us tonight saying we could dress casually tomorrow as long as we didn’t have meetings like yes, I’m so glad you’ve given me permission to wear jeans instead of just letting us work from home the day before a holiday Side note – for anyone who left corporate, how? and what do you do now? My job is boring, unfulfilling, and I can’t stand the micromanaging and office politics.

Serious question. Assuming a business owner tries to provide a service for a community and provide jobs for people, if the business can’t remain viable due to wage increases, should it go out of business? Is an absent business better than a low-wage business?

Background: I was working as a construction estimator and had found rather good success with it and quickly became among the top performers. As with any sales job, there are the ups and downs, but this started off with mostly ups (solid, preset leads. No cold calling, no D2D). However several decisions above my Directors head had begun to really affect the team. Installation quality and customer satisfaction had dropped significantly which in turn over time caused marketing and lead generation to begin to die off sharply. To prop things up, standards for leads were significantly dropped and unworkable, unquotable garbage came through. Any sale's Director will tell you that and building can be quoted for something, which is true to an extent, but not realistic to consistently convince people to part with tens of thousands unexpectedly while not addressing their main concern. Borderline unethical to push for that in…

I work at this store right.. has no ac for one so you're sweating bullets .. every customer that comes in complains gee it's so hot in here.. I'm like “yeah.. Ik.. the AC is broke” I work at a dollar store.. Basically the whole staff called off today an it was just me, one manager an some chick that was just walking around the store ig tidying it up (she doesn't know how to do register) It kept getting busy, they asked if I could stay a couple hours over because they didn't have no one so I agreed tryna be nice. The whole day I was dealing with customers arguing with one another about to start a brawl, customers bickering at me giving me attitude insulting me. Until finally I had enough .. I asked for backup at the registers because we had people standing in line waiting…
