I work in a bank, and due to struggles with work-life balance and my bipolar condition, I've decided to resign. However, my HR is consistently sending me to new branches, increasing my anxiety and workload. Should I file a complaint with the liaison officer for disabled employees about this situation? Looking for advice on how to handle this delicate situation.

Antiwork Sales Bros
I sell software. Please, please tell me that some of you anti work people are in sales. There must be dozens of us. DOZENS!! To be frank (and maybe a bit conceited), my experience is that people in sales are generally too small-minded to be antiwork. On the contrary, sales people are the most pro-work people in existence. They are dumb enough to believe in the “grind” and love equating work achievements to sports or war or some other deep sense of illusory greatness. “This athlete came from nothing and overcame all adversity to win the big championship. It's just like me making an extra sale to pass my quota, beat someone else on my team, and make my company richer! All at the expense of some poor saps who I had to mercilessly terrorize through dishonest, high-pressure tactics to achieve my goals and not theirs! Yay! I'm a winner!”…
First off on mobile so sorry for format. I finally got a job offer after 6 months of spamming zip and indeed for jobs. A pdf unit with the county juvenile detection center. At first I was excited at I was getting an offer two days after interview. I was getting my two week notice together to hand in after meeting for the signing tomorrow when I was told I should have send my notice last week. They want to go into the training seminar next Monday and into the two week training as they have limited training periods. They seem to be wanting 3 to 5 days in a row and due to my classes going into finals and work schedule already out for next week, I can barely make 2 in a row I'm starting to question if I should go thought with this as I suspect they…
Previous employer owes me back wages
I've been working for a company for the last 4 months as a manager. Starting about a month and a half ago I stopped receiving less than half my paycheck. After this employer rang up a debt of $2,000 to me, I decided to walk away. I'm not sure what to do to address this issue. I have reached out to him both on email and chat and have gotten zero response. Anyone could offer some suggestions would be great. I don't have much experience with this type of thing. I've always worked in a professional environment or I got paid
This is messed up, right?
I just want to use ya’ll as a sounding board for some of the red flags I’m seeing at a family member’s company they just started working at. It’s a small marketing company in one of the most expensive cities in the US. Less than 20 employees with a very high turnover rate. They hire Account Coordinators with rates starting $1 more per hour than the local minimum wage, but of course they must have a degree and some relevant experience. They can’t give raises to their employees but they invite them all to work overtime to make more money if they need it. That as a concept just seems so wrong to me. Am I crazy or is this BS?
I'm a manager of a team of 6, one of them is gunning for my job, and I think he's been bitching to MY boss about me ( skip level meetings every 2 weeks ). Never the one to validate, boss & HR just handed me a PIP with some vague nonsense that I fixed last year. No conversation, no opportunity to correct, just straight to PIP, don't pass go, don't collect $200. Their growth has flatlined, and it's a company big enough to have an active subreddit, so this could all be a layoff they don't want to pay for. idk, what do to? fuck everything about workplace politics.
Never thought I'd have to post here, so let this be a warning to demand everything in writing, even if you think you'll be fine. I work in a large nonprofit in the USA. Two months ago, I interviewed and applied for an internal posting that would promote me a couple pay ranges, but keep me doing the same basic work I'd already been doing. I aced the interview, my resume balled hard, and I do my job really well, so I was *verbally* promoted and *verbally* promised a salary increase. I feel very stupid not demanding something in writing. I was immediately given new responsibilities, meetings, team members, etc. Had to go through an entire process to hire my replacement/underling. Still no pay raise. My replacement would be making more than me. Introduced to the team as the New Position. Still no pay raise. Emails to my HR rep.…
Like the title says we eat out together almost everyday with our manager. This gets old for me very quickly, the small talk takes at least half an hour after finishing our lunch and I much prefer spending an hour to myself. I couldn’t give less of a shit about my coworkers weekends and I certainly hate having to think twice before talking about myself. How would you get out of this?
I’m 22F and recently started a new job. I was told by some colleagues of mine in our department to “beware of our manager and be-careful” because she is a liar, rude, treats us like crap because of her higher position. Thus I can’t say that I’m surprised she lied on me. At the end of the day she sent us emails discussing what she wanted us to get done. I was already tasked to do something beforehand which is very time consuming and taking on something new was a lot on my plate. So I spoke to my other manager (the kind one) about how I was feeling overwhelmed and she did agree and say it’s a lot to manage she will speak to my manager about it. 10 minutes later my manager called me and other colleague in her office. She said that there was some kind of…
It is a call center job. So essentially, pay decrease vs uprooting family. Yahoo!!!
