Published in a magazine with the theme “women working“ in 1992. https://preview.redd.it/n99k2v9t51n81.jpg?width=4032&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=b685fffe4313f5bcc229d0ed09db016498b43cfe

I was so optimistic about this position because I was declined for the executive assistant position within the company. The owner made it sound like she would be interested in me working on her social media presence, I spent weeks on a presentation. Two days before the presentation she emails me to say that they have found a social media manager, but she never told me there were other candidates. Weeks worth of research for her company just gone down the drain……never will I do a proposal for free again!

We are all on a freelance project and as we are leaving tells us “ok, guys. See you at 9.” And someone on the crew makes a commitment about setting their clocks. And boss man yells “OH FUCK! 10! Make it 10. Fuck that.”

And I'm wondering why I bother to work at all. I just found out that my work has been taking money out of my check for an HSA that I declined, and not taking out the proper state taxes. Lost about a $1,000 to the HSA and owe about $1,000 in state taxes. Oh, happy day! At least they took out enough for the Federal Taxes, not enough to get much of anything back, but at least I don't owe the feds and it'll put the tiniest scratch into what I lost/owe. (2,000 is kind of a lot for me) I knew my bosses hated me, but good lord! I give them 50 hours a week of top tier electro-mechanical work. (technician and engineering duties) Not a single thing I've done has ever gotten even one hit from the quality control department, I beat the recomended labor times by 5…

first time poster so i apologize for anything wrong. i’m 17 and decided to quit my fast food job for a salon job. i’m currently in school for cosmetology and thought it would be an amazing foot in the door opportunity. my fast food boss told me to forget to put my two weeks notice in and just finish out the week and i’ll be done. i went to pick up my last paycheck and was told it was lost. they had everyone’s but mine. over the week, i’ve texted them multiple times and called the store and have not heard back since then. no updates no nothing. i’m not sure what to do. i haven’t been paid in 3 weeks now and i’m slowly becoming more desperate for my check. i knew my boss never liked me (always talked down to only me and started drama with only me)…
