I work in a primary care office, and my manager wanted to meet with me and the provider I work with about what I assumed was this patient rescheduling project she's asked me to work on. Instead they wanted to talk about how they've noticed a “change in my demeanor” the last few weeks. They didn't say I was doing anything wrong or that I needed to change anything. Well, congratulations, you picked up on the fact that I'm tired of working 40 hours every single week and still living in abject poverty. In the last few weeks I've learned I'm probably going to have to sell the home I've lived in since 2010 to pay my debts. And with the wage I'm paid I'll never be able to afford the rent increase getting an apartment would bring. I'm facing being unhoused and I've had the boot of capitalism crushing…

I work for a rather large corporate employer (it's a chain of convenience stores). They don't allow employees to discuss wages. I haven't seen it in writing anywhere, but, it's been told to me by a number of people (our manager, DM, someone from HR). As far as I'm aware this is against federal labor laws. Is there anyone or anything I could report them to for this? Thank you so much!

Not sure if this is the right sub but..So I'm usually working 60-75 hours a week at a hospital. I haven't had more than a few days off sonce December. Now I'm having 3 weeks worth of vacation and half of it is over and I can for the life of me not relax. I never had problems with anxiety but since the vacation started it's up to the max. I'm overthinking, worried I forgot to manage something before I went into my vacation, worried I did something wrong and when I come back to work, bad news /a lecture/losing my job ect are gonna wait for me. Which is highly unrealistic and I know this. It's driving me nuts. I have 10 days left that I want to enjoy but I can't shake this constant work related feeling of doom off (getting dramatic here). Can anyone maybe relate?

I've been at this company a few years, pay is meh but benefits are great. People almost never get fired, but that also means else most of management has failed upwards. The politics are ridiculous, my department is rudderless and most of my projects get cancelled before they're finished. Problem is, I really care. I really want to do good work and I find it takes a toll to lie about things that are clearly false. And I keep watching and working on projects that are just wastes of money and it takes a piece out of me. I also suck at the political games. I like to tell the truth and I don't like brownosing, which is clearly expected of me. So how do you manage not to care? Cause I don't want to change jobs just yet, I want the benefits, but I care too much about doing…

Recently my employer has been cracking down on double time hours (I work in EMS so there’s plenty to go around). Normally if we call out of a shift we get an occurrence point and if you get enough of them you get a verbal warning and then a written warning all the way up to termination. My question is if I’m looking for coverage and I find it but the person I find would wind up being paid double time, can my employer deny the swap and give me an occurrence point for not being able to find someone they wouldn’t wind up paying double time for? I’m not sure what my state laws are but I live in CA.

Gonna try to summarize this as much as possible. The company is Boeing btw. I am a level 2, and I was approached to take over the work and fix the errors of a level 5 employee because quite frankly she was terrible at her job and was moved to another project (still level 5 tho). I was promised a promotion to a level 3 if I took over the work. Issue is this was all verbal, although my lead was present for all communication. This happened back in February, the work was transferred, my work load tripled, and no promotion was given. Back in March, I reached out to my direct manager about it, she said that she would get with the manager who made the promise/proposal, and I haven’t heard from her since. In fact, she’s cancelled every monthly 1-on-1 since then, and hasn’t made a effort to…
