Month: November 2023

Hey may be a little bit of a long story but kind of want to get it all out so you guys get the picture. So I was in between places living at a hotel. After a while of staying there, I was offered a job working the front desk. I did my job “perfectly” from the GM’s own mouth. So around a month passes and I show up to work and our GM (that complimented my work ethic) was fired. I figured “wow, I get the hotel had a few issues but whatever”. The owner and some new person they brought in to be the GM walks in. The owner was very aggressive and loud for no apparent reason. So they explain how they’re “cleaning up the hotel” and stuff. So I figure, cool we need it should be a be beginning. Wrong!!! My new GM calls me down…

Dense, white, and starchy. I’ve already seen a therapist about getting through to the end of the year, but I’d love some suggestions on scripts or subtle insults for dealing with the contradictory instructions, surveillance, and unnecessary tasks. God I hate this guy. I hope he stubs his toe every day. I hope he gets a flat tire on a Saturday. I hope he gets audited.

There is no statement in our employee handbook that says anything like this. It says they do consider education and qualifications which I have both yet I was told because I wasn’t working full time I was rejected a raise. I know I’m not getting paid fairly when comparing other staff and their lack of education and such. Is this a normal thing? They know I’m also a university student so it’s not like I can work full time so easily. I am consistent with work and barely call off.

I'm working in hopsitality. Spent the last 10 years hopping from place to place. From washing the dishes, managing a team over 20 people. I did everything, you can imagine in lower levels in the industry. At the moment I'm at a million pound company, with over 1500 employees. For the past 2 months, we have been asked for feedbacks and asked to do loads of training on the business and their brand which stands for loyalty, honesty and family. Things are okay, I can manage to live on 3 day weeks, working 36 hours over the weekend and spending all of my free time to kickstart my own project. We are working on a road base, my usual day looks like 11.00-21.30 or so and I am being asked to do overtime pretty much every other shift I do. Problems started months ago but last week it boiled over.…

Mostly posting this to vent, but also as a warning to anyone who is considering starting with a company that has a policy like this, or anyone who is in a similar predicament. I'm sure if you've been in this sub for a bit you've already heard about the scam that is “Unlimited Time-Off”, but I'm going to just go through my issues. First the back story on how my job functions and some company policies: My job requires me to travel for work, domestically and internationally. I will frequently be away on these work trips for 3-6 weeks. When traveling we work 10 hour days and have weekends off, which gives us 10 hours of overtime per travel week, plus the 10-30 hours of travel time since we usually travel on weekends. It's also important to note that any overtime I earn has to be approved well in advance…

I work at a veterinary clinic. I was just doing my job. Trying to gather basic information from an owner and weigh her dogs. This is the standard in every vet clinic. This owner was incredibly rude to me the entire time. She wouldn't let me weigh her dogs. She refused to give me any information about medications they could be on, their diet, she wouldn't even confirm vaccines. She would only talk to the doctor. She was an absolute bitch to me and our secretary. No other word will suffice. So, I pull up the shots I technically don't have owner permission to give, hand them to the doctor/my boss outside of the room, and tell my boss that the owner is an absolute bitch, she is a horrible human being, that her dogs deserve better, and that there is a special circle in hell for her (Yes, I…

You read that right folks, my coworker has shut the line down because they don't want any downtime. We make bottles and this line normally messes up often. We switched to a bottle that normally runs okay, but today it's crushing bottles once or twice every hour, so I go in and fix the layers. It takes about 5-10 minutes depending how bad it is. He comes up and says he's never seen these bottles get bent before, which I call bs because this isn't the first time it's done this and he knows it happens. I clean up the recent mess and clear the line, no bottles, so I go over and turn the line on seeing that he was on the forklift with material. A few minutes go by and the line goes down again, but this time upstream, so I go to check the hopper and he…

As the working class we need to amend the stance employers are treated with. They wanna fight tooth and nail to keep wages oppressed while they boast about their record profits. Then it's time we give them what they pay for. If the wage provided to you by your employer does not cover the cost of necessities where you live, (rent + utilities + electric + average cost of a months supply of groceries + insurances in all legally required forms + phone, as they'll demand to be able to reach you + transportation) then they are not worthy of the gratitude and respect a good job deserves. Businesses have stuck by the phrase “you get what you pay for” then they should be treated with the same regard. If a job does not provide those things which are required for you to even be able to get to work…

I didn't know where else to post it and I kinda needed to tell people. So I'm quitting my shitty job today. Working for this company has been a nightmare so I just decided I will quit via text nothing too bad. Anyway, this is the text: Hi, I will not be coming in at all. I'm resigning effective immediately. Thank you for the opportunity to work here but I'll peace out. Bye I know this is quite unprofessional but after the way this company has treated and continues to treat people I cannot muster a professional fuck to give so yeah…. That's it, that's the post

In my six-year tenure at the company, I’ve weathered four significant organizational shifts, each time adjusting to a new boss and reestablishing my standing. After advancing to a senior role, I sought and transitioned to a department that resonated more with my career aspirations. This move, however, brought its own challenges. I encountered two more reorganizations within this new team, each stripping away my responsibilities. Now, I find myself in a role drastically different from anything I originally pursued or excelled in, essentially left to handle the remnants of tasks post-layoffs. Despite these setbacks, I have maintained a strong presence and rapport with our C-suite and executives, often receiving verbal accolades and recognition for my work. However, these continual organizational changes seem to eclipse these achievements, leading to a sense of frustration and exhaustion. Recently, a job vacancy emerged that closely resembles my ideal role, but indications suggest it’s earmarked…
