Uni student here- i work part time all thru the school year, and summers I work full time at a theme park. Took about 2 months off (couldn't find another job) before returning to said theme park. Im so tired. I hate my job so much and dread going in everyday. There's nothing wrong with my work environment (i serve food/drink/beer all day) and people are mainly pleasant, but when I go home and have to do anything but sleep i literally cant. I used to have not a lot, but a little bit of energy to pursue my passions and hang out with my SO- now I have none. Help? (P.s. yes i am medicated for anxiety and depression. Also malnutrition might be a part? No idea) (P.p.s. i make 17.50/hr and work 40/45 hrs a week)

My manager just recently hired her daughter to work the front of house as a host which is also my job title, now my schedule is 1 shift a week while her daughter has 4-5 a week, I was getting about 4 a week before she got hired, thankfully I have a second job but this is still bs

We have been butting heads , she’s ignorant and controlling and loves to micro manage , she doesn’t update me with the rules in the store just to set me up but she updates our other associate. Anyways this Monday I forgot to throw out the garbage and she decided today to give me a verbal warning and wanted me to sign the paper , I told her I’m not signing it and I saw things on the paper that she listed that she didn’t even discuss with me . I honestly want to quit , she got my store manager fired as well and now she’s managing the store .

My department is hiring a position junior to mine. With the new salary transparency law in my companies state I saw that this position pays more than my salary, and not by a little. I felt like I was punched in the gut. I felt so stupid and both incredibly angry and terribly sad. My boss was away when the job was posted so I sat with it which may have been a good thing to calm down and calculate the best plan of action for ME. I talk to my boss letting him know I won't accept this and it needs to get fixed asap or I will likely quite. He apologizes saying that he didnt even know what the salary band was going to be posted and he had no input on compensation for the new role. I believe him. My company is ass backwards, this sounds on…

My dad often tells a story of his time in Hong Kong in the 70's. His brother was working out there and he went to visit. They were on a high floor in a skyscraper when a local window cleaner entered the room, opened a window and climbed outside onto a 1ft wide ledge and started washing windows. Dad was shocked and asked his brother what happened if the cleaner fell. His brother simply said they get another window cleaner. Terry Pratchett put it well when he wrote “And sin, young man, is when you treat people as things. Including yourself. That’s what sin is.’ ‘It’s a lot more complicated than that -’ ‘No. It ain’t. When people say things are a lot more complicated than that, they means they’re getting worried that they won’t like the truth. People as things, that’s where it starts.” A lot of the posts…

Is this normal? Had an interview at a casino, pays min wage but claims good tips. I was told to fill an application first and I was waiting for the person to interview me. It wasn't the person from the email but a manager who went ahead and explained me everything. Said once I get hired I will have to go to the police department for a background check and pay $120 out of my pocket that they don't pay back. Is that normal? Was never asked for that.
