Month: September 2023

My boss complained I went above my hours… yet she’s very hard on us and demanding MUST get certain things done within a short span of time. Maybe I’ll just quit. I have a degree and make $15.38 an hour. Maybe if we make enough to live comfortably it’s feared we’ll be too unrelateable for our clients 🤷‍️ I work at a homeless shelter by the way. I don’t want to hear defenses. I know my boss isn’t some awful person I just need to vent over my way too low salary … this job is entry level … maybe I’ll get a raise like I deserve. Maybe I’ll just move up, after a year or two. Gotta put something on my resume again … I don’t want to hear defenses to my boss. I need to vent. Lots of sudden unexpected expenses for me. At least I love my…

The boomer mentality essentially. Why is there never an in between for some people. You can want to work without being forced to live at your job with no benefits. This mindset has grown “nobody wants to work anymore” and companies do this shit to gaslight people into that BS belief system. I can want to work without work being my full life. People need to get that through their fucking heads.

To make a long story short, my former employer placed me on a PIP, a month after I finished radiation therapy. For the two months I was on the PIP, I learned how mismanaged my department was, and I was let go a week earlier than expected. As soon as I was fired, I went on an aggressive (and depressing) job hunt, and was interviewed by three companies. The company that picked me, hired me in less than a week after the interview. They are employee owned, give bonuses every month, and make you work from home twice a week, and have a day off every other week. Well just this Sunday morning, I get an email from the in-house hiring manager for my former employer. They told me that I need to sign a contract agreeing that I would not accept employment from another company that is in direct…

-VENT- (But also could use some advice) I'm posting this on a throwaway account but I'm in my mid 20's and recently moved up in my job. I was a cashier and now I'm doing something remotely close to what my major was. I held my cashier job for over a year which was in food and interviewed for a new position in the same place but it's for retail. I didn't get that position but was instead hired for a new one they made “just for me” that fit into my creativity, social media, and experience. I've worked two other retail jobs before and I had told myself I would never do it again but since they created this position for me I decided to give it a try since it wouldn't be what I did at the old ones like restocking, being a cashier, etc. Right? Wrong. I…

Hey so I just started working chipotle my 1st ever fast food business I've started in, I get a 45 minute break for working 8:30 hours Main issue is I only work an hour than they send me on break which I find off because than I'm working 6 and half more hours without break. I live in New York for context. Is this fair or even legal or am I just being naive about the situation.

Was a payroll accountant. Old employer must be getting audited and called me to see if I had time sheets for certain workers we sent to work at a warehouse from 3 years ago. I haven’t worked at the company for last 3 years. How am I suppose to have files? They should’ve had back ups saved somewhere…. They found it the next day in really old boxes. But crazy…

Throwaway account, cause I don't want to lose my job. I work in a Skinny Pop manufacturing warehouse. Yesterday they found pantry moths and larva in the organic corn. (We had been popping this corn for at least 12 hours) They ran the corn out of the lines. Then, without cleaning or even inspecting the lines, they started running corn from a different silo, through the same lines that the infested popcorn ran through. The lead QA guy and the plant manager said it was fine to do, but a bunch of us disagree. At the very best, it's immoral. Just thought I'd throw this out there incase any of you buy Skinny Pop. If it's marked with a best by date of 03/14/2024 onwards, it may contain pantry moths.

Just like the title says. I said I'd be open to weekday shifts as I got early release as a high school student, but I didn't think they'd schedule me so late. How is this shit legal? I got off school at 2:00 and I'm expected to be in at 3:00

I want to stay at the company I work for. The work is tolerable, the pay is good, the culture is good all things considered. But my current department doesn't reflect the culture and values of the company. My supervisor is a classic abuser. The lovebombing, denigrating, gaslighting, DARVO, all of it. But, I was in town when I randomly met another employee/neighbor. I didn't go into the full situation but told her I was looking at other departments, but that HR said I can't transfer until April. She said they say that but there are exceptions if you really push for it. I'm wondering what that might entail, what tactics might work. Other than talking to HR I'm starting to record conversations and preparing to lawyer up because I'm sick of this shit.

No wonder the House of Mouse got rid of Crater shortly after it's release on Disney+. It's about workers rights, fair treatment in contracts, responsibilities of those in charge and not exploiting Labor and the poor for the benefits of the elite. It wouldn't look good to have a movie like that during the strikes going on. Can't crush the working class in public while promoting their cause in business.
