just started a job this month and found out that even though we’re required to work every holiday, we don’t get holiday pay. i’ve never had a job like this. i want to give this job a shot but i’m wondering if it’s even worth staying, to sacrifice time with my family and my fiancés family, and not even get time and a half?? i don’t know how long an appropriate time is to stay even is. i want to see if i like it of course, but, it’s just a disappointment to hear that.

We work in a warehouse, but our office space is very close quarters. My coworker spends 60% of his time inside sitting less than a foot away from me. What makes matters worse is our company no longer does COVID pay (nor do we get sick time). Besides the complete negligence from upper management, I have a vacation coming up next weekend where we were supposed to meet up with family I haven’t seen since before 2020. Most of them are high risk so now I have to consider if I should even go. I’m not shocked they are pushing him to come in considering the branch is about to go under due to turnover. Shot in the dark, but can we challenge our branch management to make accommodations to quarantine him since they are essentially forcing his hand so he’ll come in? We’re located in Texas so absolutely not…

Full disclosure – this is not my boss, nor anyone I work with. This is a copy that ended up in my girlfriend's hands and we agreed this needed to be posted here. My GF knows this small business owner, and some of the folks that work here. The owner wrote up his “Leadership Philosophy” and had all of his employee's sign – I assume that they agree to buy into his 'Work philosophy'. Might this be a result of the Pandemic new work reality, or possibly (and likely) this person has never taken a business class in his life. The fact he provides this to all of his employees and make them sign for their employment file is extraordinary. What is not captured here is the amount of red font, and underlining included in the original document. I know this is long, and at times painful. Question for the…

The company I work for is forcibly transferring me to another location and I’m having non of it. How do I send a real fuck you on my way out?

I'm in construction, where some old school attitudes will not die. Where taking punishment is a rite of passage and being difficult to be around is worn like a badge of honor. There are two established workers at the company I'm with who are not foremen or leads (because they're so difficult to work with and treat everyone around them like dirt) that are beginning to seriously impact my wellbeing outside of work. I'm pacing around stressed and angry, snapping at my friends and loved ones. I find myself unable to focus on the things I care about because I'm so wound up and strung out from the week. My brain constantly feels foggy and I feel myself drifting off ruminating about all the times I was shouted and degraded during the previous week. I'm 3 weeks away from being acquired by my company as I've been contracting through a…
