I find myself in a challenging work situation at Lowe's and could use some advice on how to proceed. I work as a flooring sales specialist, and I've been experiencing what seems like unfair treatment from my specialty assistant manager (ASM). Here's the situation: There was recently a job opening in the Millwork department, and my ASM strongly encouraged me to take it, going so far as to thank me for accepting the job even before I expressed interest. I declined, believing it wasn't the right move for me at the time. A few days later, he proceeded with another candidate. During the next coming weeks (after the millwork role was taken), my coworker and I, both flooring specialists, had a disagreement that strained our work relationship. I saw an opportunity in the Appliance specialty position and asked my ASM if I could apply given the circumstances of neither my…

Hey everyone. So I contracted covid, I called my job and let them know after I took a covid test. I took a couple pictures of the positive test, sent the photo in. Now my job wants me to confirm my positive test by sending photos of my ID along with the test? Is that normal? ​ ​

I have a pretty solid job but been frustrated lately so decided to apply to a few places. Got a 2nd interview at this place and they had me come in at 1pm today on a Friday. Sounds good to me. Mind you this is for a senior level engineering position. I get there at 12:45pm, a nice receptionist greets me and hands me a mechanical skills assessment (unexpected and pretty ridiculous but I'll tolerate it) and a nonsense spatial awareness assessment of a series of like 26 questions where polygons would be split into 3 pieces with all kinds of fucked and jagged corners and you had to match them to one of 4 different normal looking polygons. I haven't seen these type of problems since college but I think I did fine but at some level was like fuck this I don't really care and just circled some…

If my employer has created a complicated commission structure that bakes out over multiple months and is determined by a breakdown of a pool for the entire team is there any requirement to break down the calculation of how much I am being paid? Is there a formal way to request this if they are purposely obscuring how the commission check is broken down? For context, I work for a collections team.

No matter what, I’m always doing my best and making sure I’m on time, getting things done and being careful. But I noticed that my coworkers are like plotting some thing just to get me the blame and it is always my fault somehow. Like how I was placing things back in order and putting stuff away that I grabbed. Now the next day I’m getting blamed that my coworker put a thing on my crate, that I did not physically ever touched, when putting my stuff away. And now they all think I’m somehow responsible. And twice when I was holding something heavy and we were all working together to carry it, the next day I get blamed she got hurt because I did something like lower it a bit, I guess they that hear me saying hey my hands are slipping off. Then next time a different coworker…

I've (18m) recently gotten myself into a job that I hate. Like, hate. It's a package handling company that was hiring for overnight “package sorters” and o just can't do it. It's too physically demanding and most of my shifts start at 3am. I desperately need to quit, because my mental health is absolutely tanking and idk how much more pressure I can take. I want to quit over the phone, as going into my 3am shift just to quit is stupid. How should I go about it? I'm autistic and scared shitless that I'm gonna come across as mean and flakey.
