Whenever I go to work, I get really bad anxiety because I feel like I owe them a lot for paying me. So I kill myself working ridiculously hard to show what a great worker I am (like I’m some brainwashed product of a capitalist society). It’s damaging me and I need help. I can’t switch off at night because I worry about how I made myself look in front of co-workers that day. It’s why I love being in education (uni) where I’d technically be burdening myself if I failed a task, and not other people. I wish I had the same mindset as you guys

I have been waiting for 20 minutes for the interviewer and I'm just about ready to walk out. For future reference, how long do you normally wait before leaving? -Edit: The next person to be interviewed has arrived and I'm still waiting

Real question: why do administrators and middle-men/women get paid so much more than the people who actually have to do the work?

I’ll be quitting my job to take a better paying/benefits job. This will be the first time I’ve outright quit. My current employer has been OK, but it’s been just a decent entry job. How would you go about quitting?

So I really like my job, but found out the company is dissolving my job location and what I do specifically will not be a part of the company anymore. I am being offered a position at the new location BUT a few things I don’t like: A) further commute with no pay increase, B) will be stricter and less breaks, C) mandatory OT wayyy more often up to 60 hours at a time, only benefit I’m seeing is job security and is it even worth it at that point? Will be doing warehouse work which is tedious and monotonous at best Any thoughts?

Regarding this thread, where OP (based in the US) is being threatened with termination for talking about wages with their coworkers, a number of people are saying just file a retaliation complaint with the labor dept. if you get fired and you can get compensation. A number of other people are saying it's not as simple as that and, really, when have you ever actually seen it play out that way? Hence my question: has anyone here ever been in this situation? That is: Discussed wages with a co-worker (as is your legal right) Threatened with termination for doing so Terminated Filed a retaliation complaint (and if so, with which office/dept., or was it a private lawsuit?) Won the case and received compensation I'm also interested in more general stories where you've been fired, regardless of reason, and then successfully complained and won. Accounts of this process working and specifically…

How is this legal? They discussed both shifts with me in the interview and I told them I am not willing to work 1am-9:30am. I just completed a month long training before they said even a word about it and moved almost my entire class to night shift. I made life choices and plans based upon my day shift schedule. Fuck you TikTok, criminals.
