Should I report this to my boss?

It's only been a week and I'm wondering if I made a mistake joining this place. Basically there are two girls and two guys. One of the girls is the HR. These people are obnoxious, which I can deal with. But the problem is that they laugh and scream really loud and also hit each other. Like the girls hit this one guy like its all fun and games. Then he'll try to be funny and throw markers at this one girl. The HR is extremely unbothered by it and she partakes in all of it too. Initially I ignored it because I've worked in awful work places before this. But then on Friday they were deciding whether this one guy should be allowed to go home or not based on an arm wrestle. The guy said no and the HR kept pestering him over and over again to do…

I think I’m having a work-induced quarter-ish life crisis.

This is going to be long and I don’t expect anyone to read. Don’t mind me. I’m just venting frustration. I’m 27. Just “celebrated” my 1 year anniversary for my 3rd job in 4 years. I have a WFH job paying me 85k a year. I can generally afford all my expenses just fine. And I have never wanted to quit and give up more in my life. I am feeling straight up depressed suicidal these days. I feel stuck and I’m intimidated by what it would take for me to unstick myself. And I feel pathetic because I’ve let a damn accounting job do this to me. I hate accounting so so fucking much. It’s boring and tedious and annoying. And now for the first time I have a job that’s not only tedious and annoying but its fuckin hard. I basically work at a bank accounting for loans…

Company cut my pay 3 dollars

It's exactly as it sounds. I was in a transfer and during the transfer/ move (bcs I moved) they fired me bcs I showed up on the schedule still, this is a month later mind you. So when I finally get the hiring manager to deal with my case, the same job I've been doing for the last year, certified on all machines, knowledge/ experience of operations yet they're paying me 14 dollars? I moved into a house, my fucking bills got more expensive. I'm about to fucking lose it. I never have enough. I'm honestly debating clocking in and leaving. But I had to call out yesterday since I had no ride. So my jobs probably over anyways.

Boss denied expense report after approving all others

My boss denied my expense report because it was just a “day trip not overnight”. And the company doesn't pay for food on a day trip. However, I have gone on many days trips and they have expensed my food. I'm sure it's because we probably went over budget on this project (not my fault again). I feel like I should let it go because I'm quitting this job in 7 months to go on an adventure but at the same time they're contradicting themselves. The trip was 8 hours within itself so do they expect me to just go 8 hours without any food?!

Bartender work suspension advice

Hey everyone, I just got suspended from work and unsure if I should move on. To explain, I was working with a coworker and they helped out a customer that essentially did not have payment ,because we only take cash or card. Which caused me to worry cause she secured never took a payment. I believe I told her to notify the manager but it seems she never did. Or if she did the matter was not resolve. 10 minutes went by and he was just chilling and drinking ,so I was wondering if he was ever going to try and pay. Being me I wanted to make sure the drink was paid for ,because of trouble I’ve gotten into before. So, I was urgently discussing with her how he was going to pay. Then the idea of me using my cash tips in exchange of him to Zelle me…

Oh, wage theft in Bama pt. 2

So, a fair member of our community who is employed at a Burgerfry chain restaurant, Jack's, we'll call it. There is a new one opening up next to where I live. I thought biscuits and gravy would be nice this morning so I checked to see if they were open yet and came across a Google review from a, Josh Sexmachine. Yes. Really. He states.The employees at the new Jack's location on Lucas Ferry Rd are being made to work without clocking in with the promise the hours will be entered into the computer after the fact. I worked a certain number of hours, then was told I would only be paid for a portion of them. They are swindling their new employees into cleaning up the place before opening with no promise they will be paid for their hours worked. BEWARE TO NEW EMPLOYEES! You may not get paid…

Anyone feel like they are wasting their time away?

I'm already 26. I realized I kept working and I haven't even gone to a beach yet. I haven't taken a trip anywhere else except restaurants or cafes. I always work and I don't have the money to spend on vacation. I live paycheck to paycheck because of my debts. I always stay at home. Like if I were to continue like this I would be 30 and I haven't taken a vacation at all. I realized I was getting closer to 30 today and my life didn't have anything exciting to look back on. Not like 30 is old but like realizing my 20s were spent on nothing much is sad. I wish I could travel more and do something fun but I realized even with working, it's not like I can do those things. Travelling is very expensive nowadays and I feel like it's a luxury now. Even…
