Month: August 2023

So I work at a media company and have been there for like 3 months without work and decided I need to move out so I am. I made the decision in the month end so they told first told me that I have to do a 90 day notice (not informed before) So I agreed as it’s the company policy now, firstly nor are they acknowledging my resignation letter, and the HR’s are being so mean – “Talk to my senior” They said they’d block my immediate July month salary as FNF and straight up give me August months and September months pay. When I put a mail to my reporting manager and the President who said “you have to release her July’s pay” the HR’s have been pissed since then and are constantly ignoring my concerns. I’m not trying to burn a bridge but they are.. is it…

Current and former employees of my previous job have shown a lot of interest in speaking out about the awful conditions and treatment of employees. Before leaving I had been talking to the director a lot about the issues and many of my coworkers were aware of it. I kind of became an accidental leader I guess. Since I’ve left a couple of months ago over 1/4 of their employees (all long term) have quit. I warned them this would happen. I’ve spoken to almost every one of them and they are all interested in sharing their experiences and how bad the working conditions have become. We worked in animal welfare so I know the public and the board would be interested in hearing about this, and it’s because of the animals that most people are still very interested in exposing everything that’s been going on. I have willing people,…

I’m currently an assistant manager at my job, right underneath the General manager- a position I’ve held for about a year now. Roughly 2 months ago the GM informed our owner he was going to be resigning, and I was offered the position after his departure. Of course I accepted as it was a significant pay raise and would look great on a resume after I leave university. Now my concern stems from the fact I have taken over all of his responsibilities in preparation of him leaving, being told it would make the transition smoother- something I understood and agreed with in the beginning. I was told I still had to wait till he left for the raise, and since I expected it to only be 2 weeks I didn’t have any concerns. However as I mentioned it is going on 3 months now that I have been handling…

A company posts a job (paid, minimum wage, part time) but they actually want an ‘intern’ to work for free. Is that legal? (US)

I'm 54 and I spent the last 35 years married, raising kids, etc. My wife wanted to be a nurse, so all our energy kind of went into that. She's got a Master's and is firmly established in her career. My work life was contingent on whatever was going on with the family. I was a stay-at-home dad when it was called for, and I'd work when I could. I never had a career. But now my kids are grown and I'm not sure what to do now. I'm coming off a period of being injured from a work injury and they are forcing me to settle, so I have some options. I could take some classes but I'd rather not do anything too evolved. I have some degrees from when I was younger that I never got to use. I've asked this on a few other threads but I'm…

So the higher ups who get paid, but do nothing were present today. I work at a homeless shelter. We have funding back! I work hard and go above and beyond. I loved what I do. Now I feel defeated and just can’t stop crying. All I did was ask a question and I was treated awfully. I don’t get it. I understand she’s never in my building so doesn’t see what I do … but how can asking a question and bringing client to her as directed make me subject to so much abuse ???? Ummm these same people do NOTHING but just sit there and get paid. I can’t believe how awfully I was treated. I spoke up via email. I’ll se what reply I get. I have no idea why I’m hated when I got clients so we can discuss funding … like what was asked of…

Realistically I shouldn’t be this worried about this, but I am. I am a low tier retail manager, and I really did love my job and see myself growing more within the company. Lately it’s been exhausting, and the day before my vacation I was screamed at on the floor. I told my friend about it and said I can’t do this anymore, so she offered to give me a recommendation and hand my resume to her boss. She works an office job, better hours, more opportunities for overtime. I got the job, signed the offer letter yesterday. They wanted me to start earlier but I called their HR department and told them I wanted to give a proper two weeks notice and asked them to push it back. They said that’s fine and were happy to see that I wouldn’t leave my current employer high and dry. Today I…

A few minutes I got an email saying some stuff about how extra hours worked won’t be paid, so if a rostered shift ends but the work isn’t properly finished they can just head out or get a supervisor to sign it all off which is completely fair. The email also said that the supervisor will be noted on the roster, which it wasn’t. I texted my manager about it and he just said that I’m the supervisor. I haven’t had proper training on my current position, let alone the supervisory position. I’m still being paid minimum wage as well. Sorry I’m not great with words Summary: I’m now a supervisor without training or a pay increase and have only been told that I am a supervisor because no supervisor was rostered.

So I work at a small private-owned medical clinic. A couple of weeks ago, the practice founder/owner said she had a project for me. She had bought some fabric and knowing that I can sew, she asked me to make her a dust cover for some medical equipment using this fabric. I enjoy sewing, so I agreed, naively assuming that this would be paid extra work. It’s also a small and fairly easy project so I wouldn’t even expect much pay, just my hourly rate for how many hours I spent on it would’ve been fine with me. I spent about 3.5 hours of my off-time making this stupid dust cover. When I brought it into work for her she was very pleased and thanked me a bunch but never asked for the time I spent on it or offered to pay me anything for my efforts. I’m painfully non-confrontational…
