Month: September 2023

I have three jobs. First job from 6am-2:30pm, then my 2nd job from 4:30pm-10pm. Both Monday through Friday. My 3rd job is working security on the weekends and I work 6am-6pm. Doing this to pay down bills and help my in-laws, who are having a rough time financially. For my weekend job, we're supposed to get our site schedule emailed to us. We haven't gotten it for a while (months) and I've been working my regular shifts. I got an email this morning that my schedule's been changed from 6a-6p to 6a-2p. So cut 4 hours each day, 8 hours overall. I called my manager and this was the conversation: Me: Hi (mgr). I saw the schedule had me down for 8 hrs each day, Saturday and Sunday. Is this a mistake or did schedules change? Mgr: if you remember when I hired you, I said you work 12 hour…

My team was created over a year ago with two new people, myself and someone else under our manager who used to do this job for a few years. After a few weeks, this new colleague decided it was too much pressure and quit (we are in Quality Assurance inside a pharma company and the level of pressure is insane, so I understand her). I was then alone handling the workload of 2 people as they looked for a new hire. Fine. The 2nd person comes in and starts not only giving me a headache because I had to coach them (less than 6 months into a very complex job, def not feeling ready for it), but also creating trouble with several employees due to sexism, including shushing a female coworker during her own meeting. There is a personal improvement plan in place so that this behaviour would change, but…

I used to be the most motivated and ambitious worker and I always put forward high-quality perfectionistic work product in hopes that I would get notice or promoted. I don’t know if it’s a combination of being a woman in a male dominated field or if it’s because the companies I’ve worked for don’t give a shit about their employees but I never get recognized for any of my contributions and I haven’t once been promoted at any company I’ve worked for even though I work 12 to 13 hour days and weekends. I’ve had to switch companies to get a promotion every 1 to 2 years. I’ve been at my current company for a year in one month. For me to survive to the two-year mark, I have to quiet quit for this next 11 months. It’s the only way I can avoid quitting entirely. Meanwhile, I’ve looked for…

Throwaway because I don't want this on my main just in case. I just needed to get this off my chest and scream into a void. I'm livid. I found out my manager recently shared a doctor's note I had from ER to other members of management, because they wanted to determine if it was a forgery. It had my D.O.B and my doctor's name on it. This is the same manager who later on said they hoped CPS would take my kid away because they thought I wasn't fit to be a parent. I was enjoying this job, but to think that this is the person I work under sickens me to no end. I'm reaching out to a lawyer about what can be done.

i just need a place to vent. when i got hired at this job, i already had another one lined up, and i offered to either work double jobs OR if they could promise me full time, i’d drop the other one and just work this one, since the other one was only about 20 hours a week. boss promised me full time, and since i’ve started working i’ve only been pulling about 28 hours per week as scheduled. i called out before when i had a fever, and a few days ago when i was having a bad mental health day (i have bpd and panic disorder, which is improving greatly, but sometimes functioning is ridiculously hard.) BOTH times i called out, i made sure i had a cover so i wouldn’t be screwing people over; i even offered to still come in despite having a fever. then, on…

I’m a teenager and work part time at a fast food restaurant. Since I didn’t have a license when I got the job and still don’t have one, there isn’t a ton of job options as my towns very small. I began working at this chain fast food restaurant almost a year ago and have never really had any complaints and mostly everyone seems to love me. About a month ago they even offered to start training me for a manager position even though usually you would have to be over 18. This week specifically one of my night managers had to leave early two different days because of different reasons and left me to take over all the manager responsibilities (money, computer logs, making sure everything gets done, ext) while still getting paid how much I always do since I don’t officially have the position. I like this manager…

I commented this on a post where some people were tlaking about socialism

wake up not enough sleep, appearance is demanded somewhere else see the 10 things i have to do when i get home, promise myself i will do them transit to work/school for an hour feel dread at what my life is and what my life will be transit home for an hour or more see the 10 things i have to do, don’t do them because i am drained feed myself (optional) drone out for three hours be angry at myself for not completing the 10 things, what is wrong with me add another thing to the list, promise myself i’ll do it tomorrow sleep someone else profits

I'm working a 12 hour shift and my boss won't let me take a break at 6 or even 8 hours. I'm taking my 30 minute break instead at the end of my shift when the work is done. I got a disciplinary point for arguing this. Do I have any ground on this? Or should I just accept that hes a douchebag capitalist just focused on himself?
