The last couple of months have been hell for me. I put up with so much disrespect while I put my everything into a job that could care less about me and openly mocked me and bullied me. Yesterday was the last straw I was getting chewed out in front of the whole office for an entire day constantly being harassed and yelled at while working hard and fast. As I was finishing up for the day my boss yet again came out to scream at me for sending an email to the wrong person. I had enough wt the point. I cleared my computer walked into his office and just shakily saying “I quit” to which he said “what, no just come tomorrow leave properly” I told him no I’m sorry I can’t continue to work for someone who doesn’t respect me. I told him I had given this…

So I'm fairly new at my current job with just 2 months in as logistics manager. It's a manufacturing company with sizable logistics and the position is well paid. I have few employees that I manage as well and I've learned this week that my position wasnt even offered as promotion to them. I got pretty good with general manager of the company and after this weeks round up I asked the question why my position wasnt offered as promotion because people I work with are really good at what they are doing. He answered it very quickly that by promoting one of the good employees to a new position we are loosing 2 employees instead of 1. He will not be able to fully take over new responsibilities so as his replacement. So instead of having to deal with 1 “handicaped” employee company would have had 2.

I had my final interview with the director and VP for a new position at a different company than the one I’m currently at. After the interview the director said “Don’t be discouraged if you don’t hear back from us soon. There is a formality with HR.” Is this a good, bad, or neutral sign? They both also said we look forward to speaking with you before we hung up the video chat.

It's hopeless. I already felt sick during my today's shift, but it got so much worse in the afternoon. I'm barely able to walk and can't hold anything in, not even water. Standing up gives me lots of pain and terrible nausea. But there is nobody to replace me tomorrow. My role is absolutely necessary to run the place, we can't open up for the visitors without me. However, only a few other coworkers and managers know how to do this role. And everyone is busy or not responding. People are on their vacations or have other obligations. Or ignore anything I send them in a few cases. I have spammed everyone who could help. No luck. The job is too complicated for me or anyone to give someone a speed course and then let them on their own. I myself needed many solo shifts to get fully used to…

Vent post. First off, shout out to the nurses. You guys are heroes. My fiancé is a nurse at an oncology clinic and worked a 14 hour shift yesterday (7am-9:30pm)when it was suppose to be 10 hours. The corporate office is overbooking them, resulting in the nurses being overworked and underpaid. There are undertrained nurses too that make the problem worse. She came home with tears in her eyes, that’s how exhausted she was. To make matters worse she is in school full time to become a nurse practitioner so even on her off days she has to do schoolwork dusk til dawn. You nurses deserve better. Hang in there.

I resigned from my position on Monday due to horrible toxicity and being sexually harassed. I did not give them notice, just emailed them. I worked from home and shipped back my laptop to them (paid out of pocket). I didn’t receive my last pay today. I followed up with the CFO, she took over as head of HR is “indefinitely” out. She stated they are holding my last pay until they receive their equipment. Is this legal? Do I have any recourses? Now this is just making me want to file the EEOC for the sexual harassment instead of just brushing it under the rug and also put in a formal complaint within that sector. So, do I have any recourses for getting paid? Last USPS check it was on the way.

My boss asked me to cover a shift for someone on the 4th of July saying how employees were getting an additional 8 hours of holiday pay for going in that day. So, of course, I thought, “Sweet, it sucks that I'll miss most of my family cookout, but i really could use the money.” Today, my paycheck comes in, but wait, there must surely be a mistake….No holiday pay, WTF??? I checked with my coworkers, and they got all received theirs…. So I text my boss…. and you know what this man has the nerve to say? “You have to be with the company for 180 days to qualify for Holiday Pay.” 🤨 MotherF*cker are you serious!? 🤬 I told him that “You're the one who told me that by going in that day I'd get it” and he says “oh I didn't realize that you weren't with us…

I’ve been working for a beverage distribution company as a sales person for 9 years and on Friday of last week I gave my 2 weeks’ notice. In the morning I called my direct supervisor to inform him that I was going to be sending the email and after a brief chat he told me he understood and wished me the best. I got off the phone with him and emailed the regional manager and head of sales informing them of my decision, with my supervisor cc’d. As of right now I have received zero correspondence from anyone on that email. Not even a confirmation that they received it or even scheduling an exit interview to hand in my iPad and key card to the office. I certainly wasn’t looking for weeping and rending of garments but absolute silence? For a week? I’m baffled.

Hey everyone, long time first time here. I've gone on a one man strike! My store is filled with good people who are getting constantly undermined and devalued by our incredibly inconsiderate manager. Without getting into too many revealing details, ive publicly posted my concerns and compensation demands and have let everyone know I'm on strike. It probably won't work out in my favor but from everything ive observed in this sub over the years, I feel like someone just has to do something. Im sure some could guess im in the US, we can't just keep enduring…
