Month: August 2023

I just started a new job in a restaurant and closed tonight, worst experience of my life and i really do not want to do it again. so i need an excuse not to i stay fairly close to the store so can’t say it’s too far away

So, I’ve been working my whole ass off since forever (4 years of me working), I’m 21 now. I’m in a job that takes an immense level of emotional and mental capacity. I work with disabled university students of any age. I have disabled family myself. I’m not trying to write this the wrong way but my job is extremely draining, and I’m basically used as a punching bag as I’m the first point of contact in office. Recently (March/April) we’ve let go of one of my team members, then there were four. We only rehired a replacement a week ago. This whole time me and one of my other colleagues on my team had to take on that fired persons work as management shifted around my team’s responsibilities where two of the four were given “more serious” duties, basically just dealing with stock. My boyfriend and family have seen…

I work as a manager and dietary technician in the kitchen for an assisted living facility. I’m 22 years old and accepted a management position in order to make more money. I thought I was doing a good thing for myself while helping take better care of residents by doing this but I now realize I am being asked to participate in behavior that contradicts my philosophy and morals. I was naive enough to believe my boss telling me no when I asked if this just meant that I was responsible for covering shifts when short-staffed. I also did not realize I was agreeing to what was just a few months ago two different job descriptions. One being the management of the dietary aides schedules and duties, the other being the overseeing of providing food consistent with the residents’ dietary needs. I was unaware that last year before a massive…

I have to go scramble to do some evening work so our team doesn’t fall behind. In the meantime, do some daydreaming for me my peeps. What does a no-work society look like to you?

For context: I (24F) work at a summer day camp as a camp counselor (float), meaning I am not attached to a specific group every day. It’s nice cause I don’t have to deal with the same kids every day. This is my second month here as a new camp counselor. All that said, today was an absolute st show. I went into work at 7:30 am to help set up. There were only 3 of us counselors until 9 am, which is NOT the norm, we were badly short-staffed. I helped out with supervising the big tent where all of our crafting/reading activities were as part of pre-care for campers before camp begins. Usually if there are less than 15 kids, one counselor watching over is the rule, any more than 15, at least two counselors need to be present. Lucky for me (NOT) I was the only counselor…

I’ve been working in this software company for years, and I’ve been the only developer in the team for months. I have tons of knowledge about our product, and can handle the most complicated tasks. Recently, we hired some people with higher ranks and salary than me, and they’re obviously not performing as good as someone who has been there for a while (this is totally okay, our product is kind of complicated to get at first). Last month I requested to, at least, get the same conditions they have, because I was taking 90% of the tasks anyway, and they rejected because promotions only happen at the beginning of the year. Today, I received an email from the CEO with the list of promotions of this month. There are ten people. In case you read this in the future, we’re in August. You bet I’m looking for a new…

I mean title is pretty self explanatory. Have you filed a complaint for constructive dismissal in Canada? What was the experience like and what was the end result? For reference I am still at my job but about to reach back out to the labour commission and I’m wondering what to expect.
