Im being screwed over

I work at an auto parts shop, and i am a part time sales rep. Sure, nothing special. But its still a job. I used to get 16-22 hours a week during SCHOOL. But now for the next three weeks in the scheduling app, i only work 1 day a week for 5 hours each. I had scheduled FULL availability, despite being only part time. I contacted my manager about this and she said she would look into it. And yet here we are. :/ Considering putting my skills elsewhere

Pregnant coworker gets hours cut

My coworker is pregnant and a very good worker. So good in fact that they wanted her to be a manager but she has to have 24/7 availability. Shes not fine with that and said no respectfully since she already works so much. After she said no she has now gone from over 40 hours to 12 hours scheduled. She complained about it and they shortened it even more. Why can’t people just accept no? Why do they have to get vindictive about it? It’s so lame how they treat their good employees.

Leaving for a better opportunity and the current manager is being hostile

As the title says, i will be leaving the current firm after this month. It was my first job after my undergrad and as much as i appreciate them for giving me the opportunity and wanna leave on a good note.. they are not making it easier. After i put in my 1 month notice, my manager accidentally sent me a voice not intended for someone else in which he was saying that i am no 'value-addition' the work will pile up but me leaving wouldn't affect anyone. I was devastated..because i put in so much efforts for the last 2 years and this is what i got? I chose to ignore it and be the bigger person.. My manager has since been telling everyone how he thinks i have made the wrong decision and i could've done 'better'. He also told me that if i were to put him…

“Investing” in employees’ fair and livable “wages” by charging a mandatory 20% “tip”

Socialize the labor costs, privatize the labor profits

I wonder if companies give their employees ‘notice’ and ‘time to prepare’ before they lay-off/terminate them. . .

“We won’t see any big changes/revolution in our lifetimes” Please Read

The system of capitalism is designed to invoke defeatism, division, and destabilization in the people it exploits. We can find motivation in both previous and continuous efforts to restore human rights and liberties. The revolution has already started and has been growing. Small movements lead to large ones and it's practically global. Because we as a whole are finally coming together and gaining class consciousness. We're using social media to talk to each other. We're asking each other “what are we going to do?” It's all too convenient for those oppressing us for us to say “well nothing we can do”. Even if you don't think we can fix things in your lifetime, we still need to work to prepare future generations Between inflation, the genocide, and other global economic issues I can honestly see a “big event” in our lifetimes. We have a rise of labor unions and strikes,…

Is this enough?

Hey – I'm really starting to hate my job and am having a hard time coming to terms with my own feelings and how to proceed. 29 – Neurospicy – Manager I've only ever quit one Job and that was because I came into work crying ever day for about two months.

My responsibility is to manage the home. Out of TP? I run it. TV not working? I fix it. Not Hot Water? I'll troubleshoot. Owners furious because of a 2 stat review?

Work would be a lot better if you could just leave whenever all your work is done.

Like last Friday I finished everything I needed to at like 2pm but of course I have to sit and wait until 5 to actually leave. When I use to work from home before our company took it away, it's exactly what I did all the time and it was amazing. Finish work and then go to whatever I wanted to around the house. Like why does it have to be like this bruh

Interviewers; Stop Wasting My Time

I've been applying to jobs and most of the time I don't even get a response. I finally got an in-person interview; I took the time to dress up and drive out there. 4 weeks later and no word. I called and emailed them, and it appears that they have decided to totally ghost me. It is a waste of my time and it's downright disrespectful.

I don’t know how to stand up for myself against my coworkers

I began working on one of the current biggest construction site of my country around a year ago. I'm the youngest, but paradoxically, I'm the only one with a diploma relates to construction work, and it was the first construction site of my co-workers (whereas I had others, I believe it's the reason I was hired). They have all been here for way longer than me. I don't know how to stand up for myself when we disagree. Sometimes it's about to work. We have to plan the entire site, and since it's a huge one, we have a lot of planning to do. We don't do them alone of course : workers give us their informations during meetings, and we change them on live. When I'm the one controlling the computer, my coworkers often stand up to walk to the projecting screen and guide me on how to change…
