Store manager is out for 3 months with a health matter, so we have employees taking advantage of the situation trying to bully other employees they believe aren’t doing enough. 2 ladies who constantly complain about doing most of the days work wrote this note and left it hanging over the time clock, so I was forced to read it because it was hanging in the way of punching out. After a day of busting my ass I get to read this shit. The ladies found out I took it down when I went on break and waited up by the front of the store for me to come back in(30 minutes) to confront me about it. We got into an argument but I kept it low tone and professional so we didn’t freak out any customers. I said the note was “unprofessional and inappropriate, and if they had issues…

Why is every job so meaningless and do nothing for the soul? 90 percent of jobs do not make the world a better place. I’d argue they make the world a worse place. Who set it up like this? Why do people think your crazy for not wanting to work a job where you can’t provide for your family but it allows another person to provide for there’s?

Cancer. When a business grows at the expense of everything else, we call it.. good business? It's cancer, it's all cancer.
I am Canadian and Gen Z. I didn't have the opportunity for college because I was out on my own by 17. Despite being a straight A student I had to decide between survival and school, and obviously I chose survival, dropped out and started working. I figured, that's OK, I'll just make lemonade with these fucking lemons, whatever. I became a prep cook to make ends meet, and worked my way onto the line. I figured I wont ever be comfy, but at least I'll have an apartment and be able to afford food. I was making more money at 18 then I am at 24 with inflation, despite multiple raises and doing my best to increase my income. I make 22/hr now and I can't even afford my own apartment and live with roommates. Average single family home where I am costs 970k (with conversions that's 5k more…
Company culture in a nutshell
I feel lied to as a millennial.
Back in 2009 when I graduated, my school told me I need college or a trade job to succeed in life or I'd be doing the bare minimum and living in n apartment all my life. I couldn't find anything I really wanted to do, so I decided “fuck it I will just stick with retail and rent an apartment and be good the rest of my life”. Well, now I'm still in retail and not even making the minimum for an apartment. Like I don't want a million dollars, I just want to be paid enough to have my utilities, rent and food. But no, I can't unless I get a freaking trade and I'm not skilled enough or have the brainpower for that. Edit: yall are missing the point, it shouldn't matter what I do, if I work for 40 hours anywhere, I shouldn't be borderline homeless.
