There's a metric ton of God awful franchises ran by awful people or companies but anything ran by Vibe Restaurants is the worst by far. Vibe does not care to fix kitchen equipment such as fryers, ovens, replace things such as seasoning shakers, ect or even bother to fix infrastructure (our ceiling was caving in for about six months even after I told our district manager that it been slowly saghing and caving in more), we had no doorknob on the back door for two months (we had a literal hole where it used to be so someone could just slip their hand in and slide the deadbolt on the door if they really wanted to and rob us during the night), and almost everyone in upper management is awful. I've worked for two different companies franchised out by them and it was miserable. Work place bullying and harassment isn't…
Month: June 2024
this was back in February this year. our company had around ~15 office floors with coffee machines. when the cafe opened up, all the machines were removed. to add insult to injury, we were promised a free cup of coffee if we published an impactful research article. for reference, it takes in the order of hundreds of hours (per person) to publish a paper. what the fuck. /end rant.
Not surprising since they unionized and ratified their new contract in March of 2022.

Boss knows they don’t pay a living wage
I actually like this breakfast spot though!
Burner account so I can keep my job long enough to find a new one. I work for a fairly new company. It's just me, my manager, and a couple other people trying to get this thing off the ground. I originally took the job because it paid well, and I was doing my manager a favor. He's a family friend, and I was happy to help him out. We'll call him Dan. My job has quickly grown beyond just “helping out”, and while I'm grateful for the opportunity to grow with the company, Dan's idea of jobsite training is “figure it out.” For context, I work in an office job. I have no business training (other than a few basic courses I took on my own time), and even though I've been to uni, my degree is in a completely different field. I can say with confidence I have no idea…
In America at least, people are so, SO ready and happy to defer to “employer's rights” on anything and everything, it's truly sickening. I've never had patience for that sort of bullshit, never in my life, even before getting interested in politics/socialism. I got weird stares at a dishwashing job from coworkers because I dared to listen to music on an iPod (after getting yelled at 3+ times for it, for zero justifiable reason) rather than just stand there, a policy enforced for zero justifiable reason. At a pizza place they gave drivers these new GPS tracker things which poorly monitored your speed, acceleration rate, etc and broadly, proudly displayed a “standings” system with everyone's “driving quality” “score” and location on a giant screen. Completely ruined the job, now you basically had a boss over your shoulder every second, you couldn't take a break or even go with the flow…
I work in legal aid and occasionally we will help people who have been denied unemployment insurance benefits (UIB). Our client had been working at a hospital for a couple of years and was fired for missing too many days. Ok, fair enough. However for the days that she missed, she provided a dr's note (every time). The last time she missed work was because she was admitted to a hospital, the one she works at, for an infection and covid. She let her boss know that she was in the hospital and provided a note from the hospital, that she both worked at and was admitted to. to her boss. When she returned to work she was fired for absences and denied unemployment for “misconduct”. I told her to request a hearing. We did ten minutes of research to find (what we already knew) that, missing work because you…

DO SOMETHING NOW
Everyone on this sub (including myself) is angry at the current capitalist society of the world right now. I say what we should all do is rise up. I'm talking mass strikes, quitting, boycotting, the whole shabang. Together we can all take these large corporate conglomerates down a peg. So instead of just talking about the issue here. Rise against it all comrades, and then they'll listen. Basically rise up against the capitalist pigs before they suck all of the life and will out of us!!!!
Asking age, if you're on food stamps and want ur social all in application.
