I used to work at a common pack and ship store. I only started working there because my older brother was the store manager, and a very good one at that. The year and a half that I worked with my brother was genuinely one of the best work experiences I have ever had. After a year of me working there my brother quit and moved states. I stayed on and became the unofficial manager as I was already assistant manager when he quit. Our owner asked me to stay on and become the store manager, but for a very minimal pay bump. I made it clear I would need to be paid more if I was expected to stay on and the owner refused. I took a pre planned week-long vacay and then took myself off the schedule i made after a week. The owner saw it and started…

To make a long story short, I’ve recently scored a job with a warehouse/distribution company. But it includes signing a confidentiality agreement, which also states (not verbatim) that if I decide to leave the company, I have to relinquish all info of my next employer (name, address, duties). It also contains certain things regarding rights to social media accounts, is it even worth it to sign?? Or should I just avoid signing and look elsewhere? Thanks for any help!

Hi all I’m extra frustrated because I’ve been dealing with this situation for over 3 months and I’m just reaching a breaking point. My job has us on call every day we have a shift, and some days as just on call. I’m on call from 10:40 am-9:20 pm except for when I have shifts then I’m on call before them anyways. We aren’t compensated. They say we can do whatever we want with our time we just have to be within their minimum notification time of 1 hour. I live 20-35ish mins away depending on traffic. I’m basically trapped at home maybe being called in. Today I had to come in from 8:40am-12pm got sent home and then called back in at 2:55 and am going to be stuck until at least 9. I had plans but those are gone. Couldn’t pick my wife up for work. I only…

Don't even know where to begin really. I've been at a certain, three letter, brown truck driving Shipping Company since 2015…I hate it more and more. I'm part time, can't really even sniff full time for a few more years…but it feels like I've been working part time since the 80s. So much backbreaking labor. I loaded airplane containers from October 2015 to October 2020. Fucked up my rotator cuff on my left arm, fucked up my sciatic nerve and dropped a 150 LB crate onto my dick, splitting me open like a banana, BUT I KEPT WORKING because I didn't hate my job (yet). After about the last 2 and a half years, I'm really questioning why I even work there anymore? I've finally learned that supervisors are liars and thier supervisors are even worse. I've also learned, finally that you don't have actual friends at work…you have people…

I'm a 18F working at a welding shop, I'm the only girl there that works in the shop. I just started my job less than a month ago and I'm constantly being bothered by my boss, 52M, about my boyfriend. He's said stuff such as 'So when are you and 'boyfriends name' going to break up?' Just TOTALLY out of the blue. He says this about every other day and it's making me uncomfortable because he doesn't know me enough to tease about that. Me and my boyfriend also live an hour away on the weekdays so I only see him on weekends. He likes to say 'You know 'boyfriend's name' is cheating on you right? With you guys not seeing eachother for a few days I bet he sees other women, what's stopping him?' He knows we've been dating for 3 years. I've only known this guy a little…
