There's a longer story but the upshot is: I have a very difficult coworker who wants me to do a task. To do the task they must provide me with certain info. There is no other way to do it. So I asked them for that info and they got very irritated, bashed away on their laptop for a minute, and then emailed me some bogus instructions. By bogus I mean the attached image that was supposed to show how they wanted their thing to look was just some random image they found online and copy-pasted into the email, with about 10 vague words of instructions (like “less detail”). By random image I mean it's a low-res screenshot from a 2017 report with a screenshot of a now-defunct website (so a screenshot of a pdf of a screenshot). It's a bit like if someone said “I want a photo of…

i’m a waitress. i work at a family owned Vietnamese restaurant. my boss, manager, and the owner/chef are all the same 40 y/o Vietnamese women. shes only been in the country for 14 years. if i miss an item on an order or forget to charge someone something, she takes the money from me. i live in Massachusetts, that shit is illegal here. I called her out on it today & she acted like she suddenly couldnt speak english. i only make $7 an hour + tips. I’m afraid she is gonna fire me now because of that but also because the guy i replaced is back now & is taking my place when i leave in july. i dont know, im just pissed & want validation. thank you

So to speak I was terminated last week met with a lady in hr, told I was terminated due to points lost for attendance which would reset on the 27th of may..the day I was terminated on was the 23rd .. Now I look into the app my position is the same my service date has continued, and now I've gotten a interview request for another department in my company seeking me. Should I have been calling in? Am I just being docked now for no call no show? What do I do here? I have the interview tomorrow I applied for ui but the company shows I'm still working for them.. Is it worth going to the interview?

Hey everyone. I recently got a job offer at citi group for (entry level) data entry paying $17 an hour which is a $2 hike from what I get paid now. Despite it being night shift it sounds pretty sweet. Is this deceptive at all? Should I run for the hills? Thanks in advance.

To give some context, I applied and got a temp job a few weeks ago. I'm about halfway done with it. I asked my partner what he thought about me ending my contract before a big, busy event at my temp job next week if I received another offer from another company (Company B) at the end of this week. It was mostly a hypothetical situation. While I hope I do get the job offer from Company B, my partner says that I would be a “better person” if I stuck it out with the temp job until after the big event. Technically my assignment is done after that event, but my contract will extend a few more weeks. That put me off so much, considering how I've been telling him these people treat me poorly* and I have to commute about an hour each way to get to the…

I have been going through some changes lately and decided to move to night shift. I'm a natural night owl, I'll have more time to do things in the day, etc. I've mentioned on this sub that I have a hatred of one machine in the building (we make aerosol products for vehicles mainly). I told them after all that I went through that I WILL NOT RUN THAT AGAIN!!!!!!!!!! I went through a lot of back and forth and got put on another machine… for now. Now that I mentioned that I wanted the second shift position, they said that they were going to make me do that machine on second shift if I moved, knowing that I hate the machine. They seriously wonder why so many people are jumping ship.

We are working in same company and have same job roles (Digital advertiser), We all are working remotely. Having same duties I'm feeling betrayed and exploited. I cannot afford to quit.

Just a vent/wanting to see who can relate, as this has got me worked up today. I started my job search in March of 2022 after completing my MBA as I was unhappy with the company I was working for. I’ve interviewed (most of them being multiple rounds) with over 25 companies since then and accepted a role in November of 2022 with the only company who has made me an offer in the last ~15 months. The pay was the same but the benefits turned out to be horrible…way worse than I expected. The company offers two health plans and they are both HDHP without an HSA. They use a TPA (third party administrator) instead of an actual insurance provider, and I cannot find any PCPs, OB/GYNs, psychiatrists, therapists, or neurologists who accept the coverage. I pay a $67 premium per paycheck (twice monthly) for medical, dental, and vision…
