Again, I work at Potbelly. No idea why my boss doesn’t have a schedule posted online for anyone. I had days off for the fourth. While away, I e-mailed my boss requesting a pic of next week’s schedule thats’s hung up in the store. She hasn’t responded, so I haven’t been to work since getting back home. Advice on what the hell to do? I have bad anxiety so I don’t really wanna just walk in the store and confront anyone about this.

So found out why I haven’t been getting paid. Apparently some weirdo been doing shit, and deleted my bank account info for my direct deposit, I’ve also noticed on my pay stubs that the way I get paid, the information keeps changing… So instead of going straight to my bank via Direct Deposit, it went to “Wells Fargo” before, I don’t have an account there btw. And during this period of not being paid for two weeks, it only had a checking number and NONE of my bank information for Direct Deposit… So this went on until I noticed I wasn’t being paid (I had a recent 6 days off, so I was expecting to be paid for one day, but it didn’t trigger any concern for me, because I thought it would go on next paycheck.) onto the second week of not being paid, it finally hit me, “Jeeze,…

It’s probably a familiar story to you guys but I work a 50 hour work week which constantly forces me to work. I have no time to sit and relax on my phone to read Reddit or watch tiktoks. Today a big project came up and and forced me to work for 2 hours straight on it. Finally after the 2 hours I was able to work on my clash of clans base and finish my upgrades. How do people do this for 20 years plus?

I work at a small law firm. I’m currently the only employee other than the manager working and has been so since I started 3 months ago. He also owns the firm. The work we do has really significant implications for our clients personal lives and is very deadline sensitive, so that is already stressful but the conditions make it worse. In this time, I have not received any in-house or external training, no sit-down meetings with manager regarding performance or current work and the absolute bare minimum in terms of guidance and feedback. My manager is barely in the office. He speaks to me for a total of maybe 2 minutes a day but usually less. I don’t think in all the time I’ve been here I’ve ever had more than an hours conversation with him about work. I like him as a person but he’s just not providing…

I work a Monday – Friday job and have a meeting once a month. We’ve had Saturday trainings before but I made up an excuse of why I couldn’t go. We recently had one sometime in June and I told my boss I wasn’t going to be able to attend and she then proceeded to tell me that I would have to go to a different location out of our region. I decided to go as the whole thing was just giving me anxiety. But today I see where they have another Saturday training this month. These trainings are around five to six hours. This job is not a career, I’m still in college. But I have been working here for almost a year and I feel like I’ve just put up with it for so long I don’t won’t to risk getting fired or having to quit because I…

I posted in a different subreddit about grief/loss, but I'm hoping it's ok to post here, too. I could really use some words of support or advice. My dad passed away June 4 after having undergone treatment for myelodysplastic syndrome and then acute leukemia for the past 18 months. I have not been working during my dad's illness and feel as though I haven't even had time to begin to process everything and deal with the aftermath. My dad did well for a long time up until the last chemo regimen he did in late April, which required him to be hospitalized for three weeks and then resulted in two additional hospitalizations for serious infections, the last of which could not be overcome. During that year and a half, my sister and I have been the primary helpers for my dad, going with him to Dr and chemo appointments and…

Hi guys, I (F28) work at a large company doing payroll, and I am salary non-exempt (I get 40 hours salaried and paid OT for anything over 40) My company had 2 days of paid Holiday this week for the 4th of July. Super awesome except I was told Payroll would still be due at 2pm Monday, July 3rd. I don’t receive the cost tracking and timesheets until Monday morning. So I had to work 6 hours on a paid day off. In our handbook it only states Holiday Pay rules for hourly workers, and they get OT for whatever hours they worked on the holiday. I asked another payroll person higher up than I am, if I get my 6 hours as OT for Monday as well. She told me no, I have to hit 40 hours worked to get any OT. So I worked 6 hours for no…

What in the WORLD is up with managers who think they don’t need to like check with you before just putting a meeting on your calendar? My job is in a hospital, where I’m supposed to mostly be going out and talking one on one with patients in their rooms. I left the office at 10:30 to attend rounds and speak with patients. I returned at 12:30 with the intention of eating lunch and then doing some desk work. My boss comes in and says that she wants to talk about some paperwork I filled out. I said sure, I’m eating lunch but when lunch is over, I’ll come to your office. She said “it’s on your calendar.” It definitely was not on my calendar when I left at 10:30. But I log in and sure enough, at 1pm there’s a calendar invite for a meeting. It was sheer dumb…
