Month: August 2023

Basically this company is holding an exit interview for me since I applied to go back to my old job and they want me to sign a consent for release of information for reference purposes. I see absolutely no point in signing it as my past employer already knows I’m here and wont need to reference check me before hiring me. I also don’t want to sign it anyways. I was only there for three months because it sucked. Can i deny signing this form?

Looking for other Boston Market employees to see what their current experience is. I know a lot of stores are shutting down. My paychecks are constantly late as hell. Wondering if my store is going to be the next to not get paid at all. Paycor has not been paying us we've been getting cashed out.

I have really bad upper back pain from sitting in a chair all day at work. Any tips on what I can do for it ?

These are one of the things I hate about working jobs. When I was into my first week in training working at this fast food place near my apartment, the people who were training me seemed always annoyed and impatient when I needed help with something as if I was just that incompetent even though it was my first week. It seems like pretty much every fast food place are composed of a bunch of rude or immature teenagers which makes the atmosphere unbearing to me. No one was ever friendly to me except for the head manager who hired me. The co manager that worked there with me during morning shift didn't seem like she wanted anything to do with me or even help me with anything. One of the workers who was training me on the register spent most of her time hanging in the back goofing off…

Yeah, no thank you.

Right after college I was having trouble finding work and ended up being an intern for a small nonprofit. I was young, dumb, and really believed in their cause I was doing the work of a full-on employee writing grants for minimum wage and part-time hours, I did a lot of extra things for this company unpaid as well. Instead of this being rewarded my boss tried to dispute the number of hours I worked and claimed he would only pay me for ” some of them”. I reminded him that was in fact illegal and he did end up paying me for all of them but I got laid off not long after. Cut to seven years later I just finished my graduate degree. My old boss calls me, he claims things are different now he has a ten million dollar budget and a full-on department for what I…

After reading many posts I see things that have made me conclude that people that are paid with an established salary rather than a rate/hour don't get Over time. Is this true?? Don't you have contracts that define your salary and defined work hours? And if you are requested to work more you should be paid OT (at a rate higher than your salary) and only happens if you agree? I know the US has horrible labor rights like a limited amount of sick days, no minimum PTO by law, healthcare tied to emplyment, and managers not doing their job of looking for replacements in case a worker has an emergency and can go to work… So if this is true I guess is just another thing to add to list of shitty things you have

I have worked in the corporate world now for about 8 years. One of the frequent things that gets brought up by managers is to ask questions about the culture and why the company does things a certain way. That’s great and all, but if that’s what companies want, then why do they only decide to draw a line in the sand when it comes to us employees questioning why we are being forced to come into the office?
