Hi all.
I (23F) recently had to apply for jobs in a frenzy due to my car being stolen. I was lucky to get a couple of opportunities, one of which I have bow worked at now for two weeks.
Maybe it’s because the company is an Asian-run business, but I have been verbally harassed beyond what I ever, EVER thought was acceptable.
Of course there’s absolutely no training that’s happening to guide me for the job, yet I’m being called on my personal cell phone, day or night, to be berated for tiny and understandable mistakes. It doesn’t even matter if I’m off work too.
The job is on a contract basis at minimum wage. To be honest, I’m not one to complain much about pay because I am truly willing to bust my ass despite how unfair wages are right now. But the fact that management thinks that it’s OK to ever speak to their employees in this manner is what sends me over the edge. Perhaps our plea to raise wages have a lot more to do with being able to deal with the stress and abuse we receive from management on a daily basis.
We don’t deserve to be abused for wages that only guarantees struggle. Management on all levels, jobs, and fields need to wake up. You are the reason this nation will inevitably crumble when there is no one willing to uphold these toxic expectations.
