My[55] father has an Implant group for factories. He may gain good money, but he has a passive aggressive personality so he favours big business deals in his coworkers disadvantages. I receive daily doses of mobbing, head nods and bad words (since I’ve born actually), especially on worktime: 10hr/d 7/7. Today I decided to QUIT. I could sue him, for the mental problem he caused, or his lack of security guidelines. But I won’t cause it would hurt the whole family, not just him. The only thing I can do is look for another job, and start to think just of myself. Unluckily I get payed like shiet: “but you live rent free in my home” he says. Wish me luck! I may be homeless by next week.

So I've been working for this company in the Bay Area for 5 years now. I got my new job and they assigned me to work on a project that was not on the project board (the board the company uses to track what we are doing). The day before I had a discussion with my boss about the lack of visibility of the project and the process he had in place for reporting this information and he basically told me to “deal with it”. I was completely shocked and I asked if he was expecting me to just do the work and I can tell from his body language that he was. I was very frustrated and felt like I was being treated unfairly but I don't know what to do. I don't have the money to quit my job and I can't think of anything that would cause…

There’s been A LOT of people on here saying this sorta shit. I argued one guy down earlier, and now I’m thinking… how about you mfs telling us to get to work or work for yourself or wtf ever… how about you tell us how YOU ACCOMPLISHED IT. Like honestly, share the nitty gritty details. The costs of all the bullshit you have to deal with to get operational. The shady shit you wouldn’t admit in real life. Throw around some numbers and be honest. Share your wisdom 🤷‍️

I know I sound like a shitty person for saying this, but I regret having my son. I don't regret the experiences that I've had and will continue to have with him. I regret bringing him into the world at such a fucked time. I was young and in love with my partner and had this mentality of “I'll overcome my severe social anxiety and become a productive member of society for my kid's sake.” Here I am, two and half years later, 21 years old and mentally worse off than what I was. Still no job or will to do anything. My boyfriend makes 13 an hour and we barely get by on that. We are lucky to live in a semi cheap city, although our rent just got raised by 30 dollars per month for whatever the fuck reason. I've had mental health issues for as long as…

Here’s a little story: I had a very poor performing person on my team do us all a favor and suddenly move to Canada (apparently he had been on a waiting list of some kind). He had been on a PIP, and he had shown some improvement, but he was never going to excel. He actually gave no notice, which meant he forfeited the payout for unused, leave time. He was making about $88,000 as a web writer and editor. We quickly got the position listed, and after reviewing over 100 applications, we were ready to make an offer — and it was by far the best candidate we had. There was a problem: I missed that somebody in HR had set the salary range at $70-80K. My options were to delay the offer and make the case for why it should be higher (and I knew she had other…

I work at a non-profit based in Quebec. I really like the place. I started as a clerk back in 2016, and it was a minimum-wage, hourly position. Minimum wage pre-pandemic was around $12.50 or so. It's currently $14.25. All of the clerks were laid off back in March 2020. I went back to school. I did odd jobs for them a few times. I was brought on again for $14.00/hr in the summer of 2021. A month later, they offered me an assistant manager position. It's a salaried position, with benefits, but they broke it down for me in hourly terms. They initially offered $15. I tried negotiating higher, but the best they could do is $15.50 ($31,200). They hired clerks a month later, and I supervise them. One of my other tasks was supposed to be payroll, but my supervisor decided to take that on for this year.…
