I was hired on as a server that would average 30-35 hours a week. The business has continue to cut my hours down lower and lower. It went from 25, to 14 and now 9. 9 hours a week. How is that livable? I have rent to pay and food. I cannot afford that in America. I addressed this with my manager and they continued to say there’s nothing they can do about it.. yet all the other employees are being scheduled 20 hours a week. I don’t know what to do. I just want to honestly quit because this is bs!

Who needs this. Picture from today
We are having a national sales meeting, so employees flew in from across the company. One of the employees is a close friend of mine, so he came the weekend before and stayed at my place. His partner tested positive for COVID, so we decided to do the responsible thing and also test before potentially infecting everyone. The missing context is that I called my boss to tell him that we would both be late, as we both had to test for COVID after a known exposure. This was a meeting in a public office space shared with several other companies followed by indoor mini golf and a team dinner at a crowded restaurant. We tested negative, but come TF on.
I’m curious to see what people are experiencing. I’d love to let legislators know what employers are getting away with for WPSAct.org.
Today, one of my great work colleagues, older, late 60’s, was fired today for a trumped up charge. Can’t go into specifics but they didn’t do what they were accused of doing. “They” asked other colleagues for their opinion and they in turn accused “them” of actually doing it and it got all the way up to the CEO yesterday. No matter that “they” didn’t do it, it appears there was a target on their back. Great person, salt of the earth, did job v well. It’s a kick to the stomach. I feel terrible about it. Their leaving will have a financial impact on the company and will be not just a headache, but a migraine for the next few months. I now hate this company.

Managing expectations
Am I alone in the feeling that when management talks about managing our (employee) expectations that it comes across as condescending and insulting? And when do they ever manage their own expectations of us? Work load keeps increasing, people who quit aren't replaced and they expect us to keep up but WE need to manage our pay expectations‽ Productivity increase doesn't have infinite potential. I know they'd love to replace us all with computers but then who will buy all their junk and services? I'm crabby AF today. 3% raise is better than a kick in the pants but when my rent is increasing 10% a year and the price of everything else keeps going up, 3% is inadequate.

My boss does my work for me
My boss shows up to work hours early everyday for whatever reason basically lives to work. He is hailed constantly for doing so and works super hard and everyone’s happy and loves it. He shows up way before we are supposed to even be there. I understand an hour early or so (I was in the military before this now at first civilian job). We are both salary so there is no monetary benefit of this. Here is the kicker, he does my daily tasks for me and doesn’t mention it at all. I come in and check my tasks and find them already done. He manages one work area and I manage another but has been taking over. He constantly reminds me of tasks for my area that I do anyways or have already done. I’m really lost as what to do. To be completely honest I don’t have…
