Should I quit and find another job?

I got hired by via staffing agency to a large Canadian Insurance Company formerly known Great West Life they offered new people 3 weeks training and after 3 weeks of training they expect you to know everything about the insurance claims. I've been working here for about 2 months, yesterday my team supervisor made up story and lies about me to make herself look good to her superior she told to her superior that I am getting frustrated to the nesting team assistant when i'm not even showing any frustration at all. She made a lies about me always nitpicking on me and micromanaging on me always watch me when she was working in the office. My stress level went up since working to this company. My anxiety getting worse I keep worrying everyday what will happen to me at work and even outside of work hours I keep worrying…

I just quit a job. Help me feel less shitty about it?

So I have been working at Sams Club in the meat department for close to six months. I start a new job Monday and I went in today for one of my final days. (Was working through the weekend). I show up and get told “X called out and Y is off today, so you are all alone and the cooler is full. You also need to figure out how to fit 4 more pallets in there as well.” I said I forgot something in my car and walked out. I did set a note on the counter saying I quit as well. I feel shitty about it just because I cared for my co workers.

Be a top achieving employee for 15 years, get fired once you have cancer.

It's been 15 years my sister is the only jurist of her company. She works over time, is always available even on her holidays, didn't even take a month of leave when she gave birth and she's a single mom. She gave all of her time and effort to her job and her company. Now she has an aggressive form of breast cancer, and her company doesn't care. She works online from the hospital while undergoing surgeries, from the moment she won't be able to work as well as before, she will be fired. They had no empathya at all, the same people she's been working with for 15 years. Guys, don't sacrifice your life for your work, it gives you nothing at all. You're existence is worth more than being an employee.

are all employees legally required to receive tips? (virginia)

hello! so i work at a dog boarding/daycare facility, and something that bothers me is that only some employees receive tips. anyone who works with dogs directly gets them, but receptionists don’t. i thought this was legal but after having glanced over some of the tipping laws now im not so sure. for context though, all of us still get paid minimum wage.

What’s the point of showing up if my manager is just going to do my work?

As the title suggests, a night manager will do all of the work I'm supposed to before I even clock in. When I ask what she wants me to do, I get put on the smallest task. I can't actually fathom any actual reason that'd she need to. I get the whole department done in an hour, I clean it up etc but even the small tasks, all she does is just force herself into what I'm doing. There is literally no point in showing up if I can't fucking work. For basically 2 hours I try to find something to do that she can't take over. At least it's only two hours of it…

Manager told coworker not to tell me that they had the flu….

I work at a daycare center in NY state. Our manager thinks the NY state sick leave laws don't apply to us. Most of my coworkers are young, either in college or fresh out of high school so they don't know their rights and have a hard time sticking up for themselves. So they're easily taken advantage of. In the past when I showed my manager the sick leave laws, their only response was “thank God no one else knows about this.” The most recent example of this is my coworker. I've been filling in this whole week as her assistant teacher. She hasn't been feeling the greatest and was told by my manager to go to Wellnow, an urgent care, after work on Wednesday. She went to Wellnow and tested positive for the flu. They gave her a note taking her out of work Thursday and Friday. The note…
