Denied PTO that will be lost

I work a standard desk job and have been taking on additional roles to cover for others when they are put (of course tons of unpaid OT in a salaried role). Due to this I have a good bit of PTO that does not rollover/get paid out (state laws don't help with this). I am attempting to take every day I can that doesn't have specific deadlines, but all of it is getting denied due to alleged business needs. This will leave me with 5-10 days of PTO I can't take and won't be paid out when the year ends. Has anyone experienced this and found a solution? I'm confident explaining my additional unpaid jobs I'm covering will not be seen as an acceptable reason to take my earned days off. Tons of my coworkers have no issue taking off and I often cover for them when taking days off.…

Love It

When a job posting on Google that Safeway is hiring for In-Store Shopper ​ https://preview.redd.it/99nfg5grf62c1.png?width=927&format=png&auto=webp&s=d52fc2747b7d38af7200c0fc3a4420c2a24872eb When in reality that want; https://preview.redd.it/8ujfe4cvf62c1.png?width=996&format=png&auto=webp&s=1ebc56ad2d643b4ebeda5e393d5e6b78299cdee0 I don't know if this is just Google fault, or Safeway faults, but this is bullshit.

Why do coworkers do this???

It hurts to hear how my job doesn't “discriminate” over disabled coworkers. Yet they do anyways. This is something I'm experiencing in my current job and I hate it how it is. They had to let go a one coworker who was jus hired for half a month ago and then jus let go cuz they're difficult to work with nor even be patient to cooperate with. Next off, when it was super busy the day before thx giving this week. Only 1 coworker who she has joint pain and is disabled too. They're tasked to take care of said lobby to guests. The day was overwhelming and swamped, I can sympathize with them on how it can be. Once their shift is over, (they only work for short shifts) later in the afternoon the other coworkers talk shit about them that they weren't that fast, “this wasn't done” “this…

In search of an overtime/wage theft lawyer

[I'm personally located in northern Colorado, USA] Good morning and happy Thanksgiving/Fall Harvest to all those who are celebrating! I was wondering if any of y'all knew of a decent employment lawyers that don't cost an arm and a leg just to even see them for a consultation. Little bit (okay big bit) of context: Several months ago I left a job where I felt I was treated unfairly and underpaid over the course of my time there, as well as the company just being a mess. At this current moment I don't think I'm going to name the company, but maybe y'all can convince me otherwise if y'all want it. But to sum it up, (and a lot of this is just general, why I don't like the company) the company is extremely disorganized (to the point where many customers wait months if not years to have issues fixed,…

I feel forced into accepting my red flags as positives… anyone else?

Standard Disclaimer I am 38M fully employed, 8:30-5pm 5 days a week, Autistic. I had a job previous to this one for 8 years, my boss was ex-military and I still have the scar tissue and PTSD of his “leadership”. It was in a mailroom, for a brewing company, so it was good for a same shit different day, structure and routine regiment, but there was always a sense of old habits die hard. Fast forward to 2018, I got made redundant and started a new job at one of the Big 4. I was in the mailroom, then transferred to facilities. Like my title says, I feel constantly surrounded by red flags, but feel like I have no other choice but to accept them as positives. People's posts on here are usually filled with topics/subjects/posts like “What kind of job exists, where I can do fuck all and still…

Indeed covers up for bad employers?

For years now I have made many attempts to leave an employee review for a well known posh supermarket chain in the UK. They absolutely destroyed my mental health and are still living off their old reputation which is obviously no longer applicable. Everyone who hasn't worked there thinks they're great to work for. I've met so many people now who used to work there and they've all had similar horror stories. I've tried so many times to leave a review on indeed and every time it gets removed for not meeting their guidelines. I've tried rewording things, leaving things out. It used to tell me that it was because I was “accusing of illegal activity” when I was literally just telling my story, which says a lot about the company tbh. It worries me as I'm so scared for the other victims of this company, while I was working…

just need to complain about my job for a sec

I enjoy my job and I am good at it, it involves looking after people I care about so I see it as more then just a job sometimes. Management are so nice to my face and have called me into meetings to say how good I am. Though they done some little things and its boiled over to make me pissed, here's the list: -I do lots of overtime, my mum said I should be checking my pay check to ensure I'm paid for it all, I check and I've been underpaid 12 hours and 18 hours holiday been wrongly removed from my allowance, no problem I talk to admin and they say they'll check it all up, nothing for 2 weeks, I don't mind, I send and email for an update, they say to wait until my next paycheck next month it may show up, it doesn't and…
