Month: September 2023

​ In Florida. I'm a full time W2 employee. Not a 1099 or any kind of contractor. I have job assignments that I go and do in the field. This involves a lot of driving and flying. I've made maybe 1200 dollars in the last month. Can I file for partial unemployment? This has been going on and off for the past year since I've been working here. What are my options?

Burner Account for obvious reasons So I landed this gig at the local shipping yard, right? With my usual supervisor out sick on medical leave for a bit, I was under this dude, “D”. Man, D didn't like me one bit, probably heard I knew some stuff from a past job. Maybe even more than he did, and that got under his skin. Who knows but he's a real dick. First day? Madness. They just threw me in, no heads-up or anything. Tried using what I knew from before, but things here? Totally whack. Made a few mistakes, but did D help? Nah, just shouted and made a whole scene. I'm here like, “Seriously?!” And then D's spreading all this crap about me to his buddies. Every other day, some new rumor. Dude's got a real talent for that. I'm out here just trying to work, but with D? Feels…

Hi. I wanted a summer job as a student and applied to places right when June began. I applied to places like retail stores or cafes. Out of all 6 places, one called me back. I went for an interview and we discussed what the hours would be like. She told me she would only make me work 4 hour shifts two times a week. (Which is good to me!) A week later she offered me the job as a barista which I happily accepted. She has me join the group chat with all the other employees. Everyone's super kind and what not, but one girl suddenly quits and says it's because of how crazy the boss is. At this point I'm kinda worried but I'm telling myself maybe it's just her. So I end up asking the other employees what they think about work, is it hard/easy, etc. Everyone…

Been working a full time job for about a year following graduation, absolutely hate it and would rather die than keep doing this for the next 40 years. The hours are crazy and only get worse, and the job puts so much on its workers without adequate compensation. They’re asking us to give our entire life, both during and outside of working hours, for a wage that I won’t even be able to get a mortgage on. Idk what to do. If I really have no choice but to voluntarily enslave myself to a corporation for the rest of my life just to earn the right to keep living, then death sounds like a preferable alternative to be honest. Am I really stuck like this? Tens of thousands of dollars in student loans, plus the extremely high cost of living means if I literally can’t afford to quit – at…

Ever since my direct manager of several years retired, I’ve been doing the job of 2 people for over 2 years with no end on site. Ignored when directly informing management that additional support is needed. … Constantly expected to take on tasks, attend meetings and answer questions that are above my pay rate. Meanwhile, my new manager (who agreed with all my concerns and echoed them to his management), resigned after a little over a year in pure frustration. His manager (who became my new manager while “backfilling” the position… which has been open since April) resigned. Now I’m stuck with no management and the everyday pressure to bridge the gap. … I set boundaries that are repeatedly ignored. I always cared very much about my work but my mental health has gone down hill. I feel like no one cares. Feeling like cheap labor at this point. ……

Can my employer do this without paying us? I work for a food processing plant and we are expected to start 15 mins early 3 days a week and stay late till last orders are complete (sometimes 30 mins a night). We also have a “family” meeting once ever Wednesday for an hour after work, unpaid. This is full time contract.

Twigged warning suicidal and bullying I was bullied horrifically from my old job. It got so bad that even after I quit I couldn’t deal with the trauma I wrote goodbye messages and then messages to those who did the bullying explaining it was their fault. It’s not my proudest moment I sent those messages to those people I feel a lot of guilt i’m still depressed but no longer suicidal. I just don’t know how I can get another job when I sent those messages… im still not working as im not mentally able to at the moment from what they did. My family is wealthy so my father has stepped in to provide support and their beach house in CA. Im going to need to go back to work, I want a family bro. Im 37M but what they did crushed me.

for a little background and context; I (f22) am (unfortunately) stuck in a retail position that I've had for a little over a year where my boss makes it nearly impossible for me to use my vacation, call-out or even use sick time. every time I try to get some time off, one of my coworkers is going on vacation or we are entering a “black-out” (where multiple weeks are blocked off so no one can call out or use vacation) or I get flat-out denied for my request. I also have about 76 hrs of vacation accrued and I want to use it – that's what it's there for, right? I'm incredibly burnt out to the point it's taking a toll on my body physically and emotionally (im also full-time, 40 hrs a week)but as I stated above, she will not let me use my earned time off. I…

So, my current boss, (I work at a gas station) seems to love being a bit snarky. She will usually text me mostly telling me what I did wrong or something like asking what happened because some stuff was all weird. Anyway, it definitely seems like she has favorites amongst the employees that I work with, and I am not one of them. She also seemingly loves to watch the store through the securities cameras when she’s not there, almost as if she’s watching us employees in case we do something wrong, or Incase someone steals from the store I guess. Overall the interactions I’ve had with her via sms were more times than not, ones where I was confronting her about something or she was confronting me most recently we had a bit of a disaster mess in the men’s bathroom so I put up a sub because bench…

So for context, I work at a company where we basically build special camera rigs that we send to medical companies. My bosses never seemed to really like me, my coworkers had always mentioned how hard they were on me for no reason, chewing me out, hanging over me, calling me out in front of our department and never letting me explain why I did something, so I reported my managers to HR about 4 months into the job saying I was deeply uncomfortable. Mind you we also had an open office so my boss everyday would question what I was doing even though we had shipment emails every week. HR did nothing but my boss stopped talking to me as much so I held my tongue. One of the guys who had been their for a few years left and I got the bulk of his shipments/builds. For reference…
