I worked a week for a local doctor. The office staff was insufferable. The doctor would put the staff down (all female and he was male) calling them fat and telling them they needed plastic surgery. This was a plastic surgeon. The office manager was no better. He was the surgeon's brother. Otherwise, they both expected me to use my personal vehicle to travel between their offices during my lunch break, unpaid, and compensation was only $13/hr. So, I told the office manager I was seeking other employment. He texted me trying to negotiate and I shut that down. He then said “why didn't you say something if you weren't happy?” in a text and I blocked him from contacting me entirely because he just can't stand the word “no”. This must have made him angry because he decided not to pay me. I absolutely filled out a W4 and…

I worked for a bus company for 2 years. They were pretty fast and loose and I've posted about some of the more outrageous incidents before. Late last year I took extended leave to look after a sick relative, and the last thing anyone from the company said to me was “we're keen to have you back in the new year when you're settled”. I later found out the company lost the contract for my route, and no one ever contacted me about starting back, so when I was offered a new job once I was available, I took it. My point is I left on good terms, was not fired, just kinda became informally redundant. Anyway, my issue is this, back when I started with them, they had me pay $70 for a fob that electronically allowed access to the vehicles. I had a problem with this at the…

I work at a fast food chain. I just found out today that one of my coworkers spent 7 years in prison for possession of cp and admitted to molesting 2 young children. I saw the court documents, he had been doing it for 10 years and just recently (within the last few years) got out of prison. Management lets him be alone with minors. I’m sick to my stomach and will be quitting tomorrow. Am I overreacting or does anyone else think this is a disgusting show of a lack of empathy and morals on the managers part

We have the same position and in-fact he is my senior technically. Ive been struggling with the Idea of telling him that my pay dwarfs his. I actually don’t like this person at all. He is mean, bitter, disrespectful, dismissive, and has an old head attitude “set in his ways” But he has a big family….kids, grandkids, etc. He simply is not paid what he is worth tho, he should be making at least $5/hr more. Now I like to think im a good person but I am really struggling with this, please convince me to tell him. Wwyd?

Minnesota to get that out of the way, and also sorry for mobil formatting. My ex employer gave me a loan before a medical procedure that left me unable to walk much for months to help me when I wouldn't be able to work. We had a verbal agreement where x ammount would be paid every month after i was able to work again. At some point after coming back to work I verbally asked them to change it to y which was less, but per check(paid every 2weeks) to help it go faster. I have currently 1/3 of the loan paid off. Early May I put in my notice because I kept getting new responsibilities, moved to cover other peoples slacking, and just dealing with no real feeling of their own accountability or recognition/appreciation/raise for helping outside of my own duties. I submitted my two weeks notice and even…
