Month: September 2023

Allow me to vent. I know I'll be paid but it's been 8 weeks, and management is just forgetting. Back story, I had vacation scheduled in July, nothing special just 1 of the 2 weeks (3 weeks total) had to select last December. Was ask in June to take a 3 day class at a well know university during that week. Was told I would be paid for that class time or given vacation time to use another time, as per company policy. I was paid my 40 vacation time for the week. No one at work is denying I am owed those hour, but my accural time has not been restored, nor have I received pay. It's just frustrating to hound them every week , and getting the same answers, “It will be fixed next week”. If I step it up and go to cooperate that get to be…

Wells Fargo Tech in Charlotte (yeah I hate'm, too), as of Monday, is now upping the required in-office days from 2 to 3. My hope is that they don't ramp up to 5 within a year. FYI, sick and vacation days count toward in-office days, so one of these would mean you only have to come in twice that week.

I work at the restaurant with the illiterate cows. I take very long poops. Sometimes I can be stuck on the commode for 15-20 minutes. None of this is intentional and it is a well known issue, yet team leads will not get off my ass about taking too long to shit. I'm not on my phone in there, it's just in my pocket because I need it to check my blood sugar (T1 diabetic). Recently team leads have told me A) I need to leave my phone on the managers' desk when I go to the restroom, B) I need to clock out if I expect to be in the restroom for more than 15 minutes, and C) a bowl movement should mention take more than 5 minutes. Just today I was hassled for having to shit for 7 minutes. I'm about to call the NLRB. Should I?

I’m in the middle of a really sticky workers composition injury case that involves multiple body parts, and I’m drawing near to my examination panel which kind of determines settlement. recently I’ve had a lot of the coworkers reach out to me and ask to hang out. Ask me what I’m doing, and what I’ve been up to, asked me if I’m working, and where I live. is that legal? It’s making me very paranoid and not want to leave my house.

(Being vague just in case) For context: I work as a manager for a retail company that is growing beyond it's means. I've been here for two years and what i've witnessed is absolutely shocking. They're in double digits in the number of locations, after opening only 7 years ago. Yet, the roof leaks, the floor is peeling, the air conditioner and heating don't work, the doors aren't watertight, they're using the free version of vital services (e.g. scheduler, time cards, etc.), they struggle to fill the shelves with product because they're relying on ground-level employees to report when we run out of stuff (instead of just running a report in our inventory software once a week?), the number of mid-level employees is so scant they can't get anything done, there's no communication, and they DRASTICALLY underpay employees (starting wages in the industry overall average out to about $17-19/hr +…

I regret moving to the US, i am originally from europe. None of the jobs here pay anything close to my cost of living (which is pretty modest, i don't go out, i don't buy clothes or objects, have almost no furniture (only a mattress and a chair, no table either). How do you guys make it out here? My mental health has taken quite a toll, i feel like i need a vacation, but never can afford one and I started getting addicted to all kinds of shit (cigs and tv are my escape now). How can I survive?

I’m going to start writing: Then I will delight in witnessing your demise. I know it won’t change anything but I work in a niche field where everyone is supposed to be oh, so encouraging of each other, even when it doesn’t go our way and I’m sick of fronting.
