Month: August 2023

The entirety of the company I work for had a meeting scheduled in with the CEO 2 days ago for today. Nobody knows what it's about outside of the vague term 'buisness strategy'. Everyones really on edge in my department because we had redundancies just before Christmas last year which had the same kinda lack of communication. Why can't they just be straight forward with what this meeting is about? If it's about redundancies just say that surely? What a cruel thing to do to your employees making them sit and wonder for two days when you could just tell us.

I work at a restaurant FT, and my schedule is supposed to be 44 hours a week, split in morning and night shifts everyday (which is already though by itself). However I have to get 30 min earlier and leave at least 1 h later in order to help open and close the restaurant, making it 53 h per week. I could live with that, if only my boss wasn't an insuferable fuck that sees days off (I only get 1) as a luxury instead of a right! He says that we workers don't deserve days off and that he should keep all the tips for himself. I work like a dog all day just to hear this type of shit. I'm done, I'm quitting today.

Not in the U.S., non-English speaker. I'm a nurse that was laid off last November. I found a completely different job with better hours and better pay. In July, I was called to fill on the hospital I used to work (posted in another sub). Initially, I thought it was a mistake. A week after the call, I started getting messages from former colleagues asking how I was doing. Then, my former manager messaged me (with which I had a strained relationship), asking the same thing. I knew they had a huge problem of retaining experienced nurses, so I had a clue where it was heading. Finally, about 20 days later after the first call, I was contacted by the hospital's HR and was offered my old job back (with the exact shitty pay). I declined. Fast forward to last Monday. I was contacted by a lawyer to be a…

This is less a complain post and more about how to constructively discuss this situation. I'm Australian and work full time in Australia. I work an office role Tuesday to Saturday. We're entitled to 1 sick day per month. It's god awful on Saturdays. Multi billion dollar company, chronically understaffed in the area I'm in and most days are a slog. I take my allocated 1 sick leave day every month, most of the time for genuine appointments and sometimes for a mental health day' (customer service role, and people suck so much in this area). In the last two months, I've taken 2 sick days per month and had one of them taken as leave. I've previously discussed my concerns and interest over the last few months to have a normal weekend and in the 3 months that I've discussed this (once per month in a catch up), I…

I don't know if this is the right place to post, but I used to work in care in the UK- one of my first jobs was working in an old folks home Now I have never worked in a place before or since, where the staff where so unhappy. The manager was clearly under a lot of pressure from her bosses and took it out on her staff. We were overworked and understaffed, often called upon to work more hours than were legal, told to stay on site during unpaid breaks and expected to pickup shifts with little to no notice “for the good of the team.”

This will get a little long so I’m sorry. I’ll try to condense as much of what happened. I’m honestly just venting because there’s really no easy way to fix this, and I’m not exactly in the best headspace at all. Also I work in healthcare but in a niche field, I am not a nurse, so job opportunities are not as abundant as it might seem for other healthcare professions. I would not wish what happened to me on my worst enemy. I /was/ planning on telling someone to get the manager of this job if I could transfer/apply within (there’s a workaround in trying to apply within the healthcare system, I was going to get help being transferred, I was told by recruitment to initiate this a few days ago. Got fired before I got the chance to make the phone call). Me and my manager were already…

i hate capitalism and I hate how you have to go through school, certifications, entry level positions, bootlicking over and over and over and over and then you retire and die. who decided this is the way to live? I think I want to be a housewife.

Hai Guyz, So I am in a sort of catch-22. I work for Amazon but through a contractor. Meaning that another company's name appears on my W-2. Contractor essentially said that they don't want to get involved. Amazon says I am not their employee even though the only difference between me and a direct employee is whose name appears on the paycheck. Long story short a lot of misconduct I using OSHA violations.

I am sitting in front of the desk at my new job, where I have been sitting for almost 2 1/2 hours (so far). It took the manager I was supposed to meet an hour and a half to even acknowledge I was here. He then asked me what my job was supposed to be and tried to put me doing the training I did yesterday. When I explained I had already done it, he just put me back waiting. My husband and I are almost out of savings and this is a good-paying job, but all of this is giving me seriously negative vibes. I’m not sure how to handle it, but my first instinct is to tell this dude to fuck right off and go home.
