So back in January I got pulled over omw home from work for driving a shitty car in a nice town at 3:30am. He said it was because I was floating between the lines which whatever. I had unpaid court costs I thought I had paid in full but didn't so I had a suspension on my license I didn't know about. So now I got another suspension with hefty reinstatement fees and I diversion program to get my license back. My work was 30mins away from where I live and being a 3rd shift manager I don't get off until between 3-5am. I have a son so there was no way I could swing paying 35-65 for an uber home every single night. They got me a spot working at the store 5 mins from my house temporarily while I worked on getting my license back. 3 weeks later…

I decided I need to leave the toxic work environment I’m in however I’m extremely anxious about how my boss will react. He’s a passive bully and I know he will verbally attack me when I tell him I’m giving notice. How do I approach this ?

i’m 15. i work in a concessions stand and it’s my job to check the bathroom and clean it if it’s dirty. i checked the bathroom multiple times and it was clean, but i forgot to check it before i left and i guess someone went in there and made it disgusting. my boss took a picture and showed it and talked shit about me to my coworker who is also 15 and had absolutely nothing to do with it. he hasn’t talked to me about it yet. i think that him talking to her about it was really stupid and unprofessional. i’m stressed about about it and scared i’m going to get fired. it was just an honest mistake because i was stressed out about customers. i honestly want to quit because the concessions workers are expected to act like managers for $9/hr but i’m scared of confrontation, especially…

Keeping this vague on purpose. I've been working at the same place for a couple years. I was planning on being at this job until I finish college. All until I got an incredible offer to vacation abroad and all I would have to pay for is plane tickets. Knowing that summer is the busiest time for the business and knowing that I wanted to take 2-3 weeks off during this time, I purposely finalized my trip as early as I could and let my boss know. He immediately shut it down and said “No vacations over summer, period.” I explained I knew summer was busy and that's why I wanted to give him (the manager) time to work on the schedule knowing I'd be gone. I explained further that this was an opportunity that was only going to come once in my life and that it was important to…

This is a vent and my first post so bare with me. I work at a private dinner as one of the chefs, I'm technically not a shift supervisor but I do act like one to help my co workers shifts go smoother as they are either on the older side or minors. That being said, anytime there is a fuck up, I take blame even if I know nothing about it because the staff really don't deserve to be degraded how the owners treat others when they are unhappy. (Yes I know, I'm not going to do anything manager related till I'm payed to be one after today) With a little context out the way, lets start. We have a very low employee retention for front of the house due to the owner's wife treated the servers like absolute garbage. So much so when we had a rush during…
