Month: July 2023

Hey all, So I work part-time in the food industry. I recently had my scheduled hours plummet. I was originally working 20-25 hours a week, now I’m lucky if I get any hours. They “forgot” to put me on the schedule for almost 5 weeks in a row, and when I made numerous calls to managers and bosses, they then put me on the schedule. One shift. Three hours. This isn’t feasible at all and it’s the last straw for me. This week I wasn’t scheduled any hours. I also have been demanding pay stubs because there’s no transparency with my tips (my job relies heavily on them, and I’m afraid what I’m getting tipped and what I’m getting paid isn’t adding up). But I’ve been working here for almost half a year now, and I have yet to see a pay stub. I just get money deposited into my…

I’m at my happiest (aka not suicidally depressed) when I work alone. Do you work relatively alone? If so, what do you do?

Ive been thinking of quitting my job because management has been disrespectful and really unfair (told me i was locked in for 2 yrs with them despite not signing anythimg, after they sent me abroad for a short international work thing, because it was “a huge opportunity for me and i should be grateful because they were generous”, dont pay me overtime, dont pay my weekends when i work, they dont like when i take a leave off work they ask a lot of questions before approving and i still have to work during those days off. And many more) Problem is this job is something i really wanted and in the industry i want to have career in. It's pretty competitive so i thoyght about staying for 3yrs before bouncing but right now my mental health has taken a dip i have been su*cidal for months. Im scared of…

I am in a strange situation with my boss at my current job. I am a longstanding employee at a digital agency with a great relationship with clients, teammates and our other suppliers. My new boss started about 6 months ago. Initially it was fine but after showing him some of my past work on projects, he became a bit weird with me. He started to make jokes at my expense when I saw him in the office, and at work drinks he got a bit drunk and started to talk down the quality of my work to me. I was shocked by this as it seemed to come out of nowhere. Since then I've worked extra hard to deliver value for the company as a reaction to his negative comments and to prove my worth. It's had a hugely positive response from the client and I know the client…

Has anyone else ever experienced this? I applied for a role via Indeed, I have just recieved a message: Thank you for your interest in Waste & Recycling role we currently have advertised. Please note that cv's and applications submitted via indeed will not be considered, please apply via our careers website. No where on the Indeed page did it say anything about only accepting applications via their website, at all. Anyone else had anything like this?

Pretty much in the title. I’ve been overworked, underpaid, and exploited for a year now. I’ve also been dealing with a severe flare-up of a chronic illness that management said I “should just be working through”. I quit with no notice today. Feeling lost, but relieved. Wanted to share the news.

(She’s safe, and professionals are involved.) On Thursday, a long-running toxic situation at my wife’s office blew up with enormous professional and personal consequences for her. She was already cracking under the weight of bad company policy, and this sent her over the edge. She was in no position to call in to work on Friday, and again today. So I did. And my anxiety was through the roof. What would her boss think? Was he going to demand to talk to my wife? What’s the sick policy? What’s the leave policy? Is me calling in for her going to ruin her career? If she’s able to go back, how to cope with the fallout? MY WIFE IS SUICIDAL AND I AM FOCUSED ON WHAT HER BOSS THINKS. Work priorities are completely fucked up. What a completely ghoulish state of affairs.

When you apply for a job through Indeed, and send the company all your information. Only for them to reach out a week later and say: hey, thanks for your interest in insert job title here. To complete your application, please visit the careers section on our website and fill out an “applicant profile.” Umm, wow. So then why bother posting on indeed… if all you’re gonna do is say you want me to enter the same information again, but the way “you want it.” It makes no sense to re-enter all that same information again, since you already have it! Why bother posting on Indeed then? People shouldn’t waste their time like that.

i'm struggling to keep up with work and feeling any sort of motivation at all now that i have moved into the next-job searching phase. my company has been paying me late consistently for a little over a year — i'm talking, between 10-25 days late every single month with the exception of 2/14 months ive been there. it's a small company, and i love what i do there and the people i work directly with on a day to day basis and truly believed the company could grow into something great and i was eager to be a part of that growth (hence why i've held on this long). but, it recently came to light that this isn't just happening with my paycheck like they've been telling me, but rather every single employee that is there and every employee i've talked to who has since left. on top of…
