Month: August 2023

For context, I was talking with one of our managers a few days ago and he suggested I come in early on Thursday to get some training on top of my schedule shift. Was gonna be a 12 hour shift total but whatever, I could use the money. He said he would bring it to our director later that day, and I even reminded him over text. Well, it turns out they flaked without telling me (I had to ask thirty minutes before my shift to figure this out), stating they “couldn’t afford the hours”. I’d already gotten hardly any sleep trying to catch this shift; I’ve never felt my time so disrespected before. This isn’t even mentioning me being a “shift lead in training” for over a month yet not being able to get a straight answer on when they can give me the raise. What’s the best way…

I got my first write up two wees ago b/c I accidentally worked over 5 hours before taking my lunch (California Law, don't know how it is elsewhere), first time It ever happened cause I was just busier than intended and I got a written warning tell me the next time It happened I'd receive 'severe disciplinary action' upwards of termination. I've working at this place two and a half years now and they really put me on the spot over this one mistake, at least the manager who had conducted It as he's fairly 'new' (has been there for about a month) am I just taking it too personally or can I give some push back on this as I don't want this on my record with this company? Unfortunately I already signed the Notice so It's probably too late to do anything about it but I just want…

Is venting allowed? Sorry mods if you gotta do extra work deleting this. Had a hell of a day today. Without giving too much away, I basically worked my ass off for an entire year doing something that contributed HUGELY to my very large, very multi-million dollar employer. Like the kind of thing that shaped the next 10 years of this place and will earn them megas. There was recently an evaluation that showed how incredibly valuable that thing is. But I've never actually gotten any recognition on paper for this thing. My colleagues are awesome and tell me how much they appreciate it all the time so that's dope. Someone who's my boss's boss emailed me this week asking if they can schedule time to call me. Mysterious but I made the stupid mistake of thinking, “oh it must be about that recent evaluation and they want to say…

I’ve been working at my new job for 5 weeks now, the girl who is training me is a total c*nt to me only. Everyone else in the office likes me and is super nice, but because my supervisor is insecure about her looks she feels the need to micromanage everything. She must control everything I do from how I fold a piece of paper to put in an envelope or who I am aloud to talk to while in the office. I have a post it note dispenser that uses the accordion post it’s, the office manager who is her supervisor asked me if I would like her to order some two weeks ago, after that conversation she went to the office manager and told her not to order anything for me that that was her responsibility. Today my car was rear ended and my bf who works in…

I have been repeatedly let down and unsupported throughout my two year employment with the charity I work for. Next week is my last week and no one has asked me why I resigned, or has made any attempt to contact me and have a conversation about it. The possibility of an exit interview is laughable at this point, but I’ve got so much so say. There are so many fundamental flaws with the management, including some law breaking that they don’t know I know about. I feel frustrated that they don’t seem to care about why I’m leaving. And I won’t get a chance to tell higher management my feedback about my direct manager. And on the flip side- maybe it’s not worth my time, and they don’t deserve any of my input.. it’s a conundrum.

I don't know what to do anymore. It's been so many. Just application after application after application sent all over. Manufacturing and engineering jobs. Administrative jobs. Requires a lot of experience, requires none. And the only damn update I've gotten has been from a scammer trying to get my data that gave up once he found out I wasn't from the states. I just want a job, I just want to leave my country. I did what I was supposed to. I learnt the language, got a degree in a STEM career, got experience for work. And yet here I am, stuck in a homophobic country unable to even afford my meds if I can even find them. I'm so fucking tired of their bullshit…

Over the last 6 months, I have been working as a General Manager for $20k/year under market pay average. When my old GM left, the owners told me I was next in line, and they wanted to “see what I could do” before they promoted me. I worked my ASS off for them, working 55-70 hours per week, not taking any vacation days, and working as the ONLY manager in a busy premium dining restaurant. I was doing all of the GM work (inventory, scheduling, invoicing, work orders, ordering, etc) and I was getting absolutely NO Thanks for the work I was doing. My staff started coming to me about the level of disrespect coming from the owners of the business (we are a franchised location) and so I went to corporate and explained everything and was basically told “You are their employees, not ours” and that there was nothing…

Did a job application online today and one of the questions was “What is your ideal work environment? A. Inside, behind a desk B. Outside, in any weather C. Neither, I don't want to work” Way to complain that nObODy wANts to woRK aNymOre to literally every applicant
