Month: November 2023

First the job was described as office assistant. My first day I’m editing someone’s lease. I’ve harassed people about their lawn, rent and other problems. I’ve heard a girl panic over the phone about her rent and it made me feel like scum. I’m 5 days in and I hate these people. The lady I work with is judgmental about every tenant. So is the main boss. Today he looked at an applicants pfp and said “I can tell by the way they look we won’t be renting to them” I hate the atmosphere. I hate the work. Worst of all is I work 7-4 with just a half hour lunch break. Tomorrow I go in at 6:30am he wanted me to stay late until 5:30ish but I said no. I asked the lady I work with today about the extra 2.5 hours I work every week and she said…

Is my company allowed to force me to pay their deductive after I accidentally reversed into a car with company golf cart? Hey everybody! Here’s the tea: So I work in security and I have to drive a golf cart around the parking garage in order to do my patrols every hour. Well today when I was about to drive off in the golf cart, I accidentally reversed into a vehicle that I didn’t see coming through and made a small dent into the car. For the past few months me and my coworker been doing a report about the golf cart headlights not working, the light on top of the golf cart is broken, the tires worn out and it’s just not safe to drive but we still HAVE to drive it. But nobody from my job has fixed it. I know for a fact I wouldn’t have ever…

I work at an employment agency. My boss wants me to come in and help manage the phones during “payout” time (when all of the workers come and get their cheques.) This is what I texted him: ME: “Hey [REDACTED], I think I may take a sick day today. I can still come for payouts for a couple of hours if need be, but I am running a fever, so I would prefer not to. I'll be available to text and email. Just don’t want to push myself and get worse 🤒.” His response: “Come in for payouts later. [Other coworker] will need you.” I know that I technically offered to come in, but I feel like if I have an active fever, it's terrible for everyone involved. Does anyone have any advice or support?

Is it normal that an older nale coworker (55) keeps on touching my (F22) knee with his knee when we sit next to each other. I thought it was just accidental, but I’m not sure.

Hey there! Pardon the rant. As the title says, I have a remote, part-time job at a small-ish financial tech company. I picked up the job a little more than 2 years ago, and the draw for me is that I can have really flexible work schedules were as long as I work the entire duration I'm signed up for, I can do it any time of the day, and the pay was similar to any waitressing work the college town has. As a college student this was pretty enticing. But a few months in, they no longer allow employees to pick up overtime, or work whenever they need to throughout the day. A few more months in, not only did the company become way more strict on our customers, now the employees (specifically us bottom rung tier CS) are really scrutinized for our punch cards. The job content (because…

We all know what's ethical here. Provide the products needed to do our job. Sure, my title isn't “bathroom cleaner” or “janitor” but my job does require all of us to upkeep an employee bathroom. I read OSHA laws and know they require clean restrooms to any given employee at any time. As a store manager, they require you to go buy cleaners to clean our restroom. Not to mention all the slaving ee do for minimal salary but required 45 hour minimum.. It is not orderable thru ordering system we use. Why? I also have found out from other managers in the area that they will not reimburse you. What do I do next? Besides quit as I'd love to but need replacement first.

So I work in an office-corporate-like environment. One of those ones where we sit in joined cubicles per department. Ever since I started working here I’ve had a problem with my now current boss. Her attitude sucks and I’ve never gotten along with her. She talks to everyone in a condescending tone and is a classic narcissist who only cares about talking about personal things if it has to do with herself. It seems as though every time someone asks her a question about our job it’s met with attitude like we should know what we’re doing and it’s a bother to ask her any questions. It really bothers me when she does this to fairly new people that really don’t know the job fully yet. She did this to me before she rose to the position she’s in now. It got to the point to where I had to…
