We love across the street from where I work, my wife came running crying bleeding from her downstairs, our two year old had a busted lip, she fell trying to catch him, I call 911 and management, ambulance comes takes my wife and son. Leaves me with my daughter, I call management, they say I can't close. I can't take a break to calm down, and no body can relieve me at the moment. While my family is in the hospital, and I have epilepsy, I'm stressing with my daughter at work. Remember money and profits. Over people.

I see posts all the time here showing how terrible the workforce is right now. It's depressing and it feels like the only way out is to leave the country. But what can we do about it? We can't leave our jobs but there must be things we can do besides suffer like this. Voting hasn't worked all these years and things have been getting worse no matter who our political leaders are. Besides protesting and striking what can we do? I've been trying to spend my money at good companies that have good practices and treat their employees well but that's all I can think of. I feel like its not gonna stop if we don't do anything.

I’m a minor working at a Chick-fil-A. This CFA is VERY busy, and almost never has slow times. I work in the kitchen and can do every station they need, but they mostly put me on breading because no one else knows how to do it. I’ll say that again, no one else (besides managers) know how to do breading besides me. I have asked them multiple times to train other people on the station, they deny my “request”. I also ALWAYS close for them (sometimes leaving after 11, which isn’t allowed because I’m a minor) even though I’m always scheduled to leave at 10pm. They gave me a 62/100 on my performance evaluation and said I could be “more flexible” with working other stations even though again, they always put me on breading. I asked for a raise since I’m the only one who does it every night…denied. Then…

Maybe you started off with nothing and no hand outs from mommy and daddy. But the second you start having a work force helping you make money, you’re no longer self made. /Rant

not to mention this is a veterinary technician position requiring years of experience…

He genuinely thinks it is a fair trade because I close on Tuesday and he opens on Saturday so that is considered an upgrade(?? lol) But not only does this man do the scheduling and post it 3 weeks in advance….but he dare tries to guilt me by saying it’s for his kids’ birthday. Spoiler: I will not be trading due to his terrible planning
