Insecure Manager accuses me of making a “drug deal” because I received a couple large tips, has the cops break the back window of the car I’m living in.

I've never experienced such poor treatment at any job I've had, but this goes beyond toxic. ​ We've had a new manager take over the last two months who's condescending, insulting (made one female server cry and quit), and generally unorganized while pushing poor rule changes. Today, I was working tables and a customer who I conversated with throughout his stay had left a generous $60 tip when he left, then right after him was a second gentlemen with his wife who also jumped in on some of the conversations who left afterward, leaving a $50 tip, very friendly people. I continued working as normal until I was called into the office by our charismatic manager. Who for some reason I don't know if it's due to discrimination, if he himself was on drugs or what, but he wanted me to turn in the tips I received from those two…

New payroll system

My company switched it's payroll system a month ago. My manager and their manager were both on vacation during the first week of July. Because of both of them being on vacation my paycheck was short for that time period. Holiday time for Independence Day was not entered for me. I was told it would be on my next paycheck. Fast forward two weeks and instead of our paychecks my team got an email saying that we were overpaid for the first week of July. Our paychecks, which should have already been in our accounts by the time these emails went sent, were basically cut in half. This happened because our managers didn't approve our timecards from that first week when they were on vacation. This is supposed to be fixed on our next check (the third on this system) but I have no faith it will be. I had…

Seriously…

Just saw a post where a person was being negotiated down during job recruitment. If expected to spend hours custom tailoring my skills on paper (resume & even CV) to prove my worthiness and do the critical thinking analysis of how I can do it, that HR/ hiring manager can’t afford to waste their time doing… Then attending rounds of interviews… god for bid interviewee hopes, or stops applying to other opportunities. Can they not just post the salary range so no one wastes time, we don’t exactly like in a era we’re time is readily available to play rounds of pointless games. Candidate needs X$ to live, company can only afford x dollars, is this a mutually beneficial relationship or exploitation, let them play a few a rounds and find out, candidate will give you 4 rounds of time (plus the application) for free only to find out you…

manager refuses to get a new phone and is impossible to contact

basically what the title says. i work at a fast food joint thats been pretty understaffed lately. i’m already looking for a new job but for now im stuck here so its been frustrating. there is only one manager that works at my location (there are shift supervisors every day but they don’t have the same permissions or duties as her) and she broke her phone a little over a month ago. she said she’d get a new one and in the meantime gave us her sisters number if we needed to talk to her. the next pay day passed and she still didn’t get a new phone and everyone was pretty frustrated. around that time we had a mini fiasco where a closer didnt show up (no call in, nothing, and we couldn’t get ahold of them on the phone) and since our manager wasn’t here we tried to…

How do I handle a company hired unqualified external candidate?

I (29M) have worked with this company coming up on a year. I saw a position that was more favorable within the company. I spoke with my manager who reached out to the hiring manager of this position and asked about it. The hiring manager informed my manager I was the only internal candidate to apply. I had two interviews with the company and was going to schedule another time to talk once I came back from vacation from out of the country. Once I came back I reached out and I didn’t get a response for a few days. Eventually I reached out to a recruiter who set up the interview initially and she informed me the hiring manager was no longer with the company and that the position had been filled. A few days later I saw a post on LinkedIn for the same position, completely incidentally, I…

Why does the culture frown upon those not working 5 days?

I can easily make the same amount of money working slightly longer days or just 2 regular week days and 2 weekend days as a nurse then working 5 days straight in a row M-F. Yet it seems so many older people just dont understand why someone wouldnt want to work 5 days in a row. I dont seem to understand what the issue is? Why would you not want a day or two off during the week for appointments, errands and just to relax. It seems older people are just so hyper focused on the Monday to Friday grind garbage.
