Month: May 2024

Is anyone is this boat? It’s bleak.

so my manager called me and told me to another manager wanted to speak to me at another store. stupidly i called her. she asked me to come to her store for a couple hours before going to mine. i did not expect her to ask me this at all, probably because she’s never asked me to work over there. so i told her yes. but i regret it and i want to change my mind what can i say that doesn’t make me look like a liar or a dickhead?

I used to LOVE my job as a copywriter. With my old boss. I’ve got a new bitch boss about 3 months ago and she is a NIGHTMARE. Overachiever perfectionist who fired 2 people in the her first month. They were GOOD employees, but she said they didn’t take the company TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Sorry if I’m repeating myself, I think I made a post here about this already but my blood is boiling. I worked from home today and as usual, it’s like a message every hour about the littlest fucking details and it seems that she is rephrasing everything just for the sake of it. She is GOOD at her job I must say, but the work environment became so STRESSFUL and I don’t know how long I can take this. I’ve been a copywriter my whole life, and this type of job is quite hard to…

So last week we got an email confirming a pay rise because we are valued employees and the company appreciates all our hardwork. The issue with that pay increase is it is to the new minimum wage. To make it even worse we are moving to the minimum wage while previously being on the national living wage. So instead of a pay increase because of our hard work it's a pay increase to the minimum amount the government has set out from previously being on the better rate of pay. Do they really think we are stupid enough not to realise what they did. If that's not bad enough we get another email today confirming we have to return to the offices full time from June. I'm just done so now I'm on the job hunt, only positive is as long as I'm working the same hours I am now…

Hi everyone. I'm leaving a job I've only worked at for 2 months to help my family. It's a really toxic workplace and my managers act like friends(I don't see them as this) and then completely snap if I don't instantly know everything. It's the day before a 2 week break and this is the message I want to send. Hello, I have some news and I wanted to share it with you both first. I am having some family problems at the moment and i won't be able to continue working after the end of this school term after the exams. My sister had to move home with my nephews, and my parents can't afford to support them at the moment. I know that it's an inconvenient time and I'm sorry for adding to your stress. But I will help find a good replacement and do my best to…

Posted from another reddit Just as the title says. I'm a front end cashier, and I can feel myself just not caring, between the near constant harassment to sell those STUPID predatory ass credit cards, pluses, and all that other nonsense, the horrible shifts that you have to work to have full time benefits – I was hired on as full time, and even worked 40 hours from the beginning, but after three months, I was told “lol no” I wasn't actually “considered” full time, and in order to become full time, I had to switch to this stupid fucking 12:30 – 9:00 Pm shift (Now including Sundays?? Though we close at fucking six??)) The near daily insults from asshole members, a month or so ago, I got a write up for daring to try and go on my lunch on time because I'm diabetic and my sugar was dropping,…

My career has been in social work, direct care, residential program management and sales. I have always made on the lower side because of the type of work I’m committed to doing. I want to have impact and better the lives of others. Last year I got a great offer for more money than I’ve ever made, with a bonus structure. I’ve made more this year than I’ve ever dreamt I would. It is a healthcare company. But the company is sucking the life out of me and I’m watching our patients deteriorate at the hands of this gross mismanagement. I’m doing the job of two people, breaking my back to improve our building and I get not even an annual eval or any kind of professional development. I was well liked by my managers until I was caught discussing salary while trying to empower a coworker to negotiate their…
