I worked here when I was 17 years old turns out the manager takes advantage of underage workers and uses illegal business practices, like leaving kids to run her business while she goes home or off somewhere doing what ever she pleases, and made it hell for me to get paid after only after not even a week there!

Got attacked at work
Two cracked teeth, one impacted, more bruises than than I can count

However, there are some weeks where I get a heavy amount of workflow while also being assigned additional daily job duties that add on top of it. My management decided to surprise me yesterday and mention that I’d start training for their busiest job function next week. Yet, there’s quite a few issues I see with this: 1: This particular department not only has the heaviest case volumes, but is most of the time always behind on completing these before the required time period set by management and is known to do a lot of excess overtime. 2: The coworker who most likely will be training me has been avoiding me and acting slightly passive towards me for almost a year due to outside of…
