May 2021, the owner of a job I had last year had called me to lay me off after I just pulled a double. All annoyances aside, I was moving and still let them know that I was going to have a change of address for my taxes. Not that I was excepting a reply, I got left on read (means they at least saw it) Fast forward to January 31 of this year, I still haven’t received my W2 and it’s the deadline for employers to send it out. I reached out to the shift manager at the time and they responded they don’t work there anymore either but they also haven’t received it. I emailed the owner and asked for it. I get an email back, saying they never had my social security and that they were trying to call me but I never answered. I found it…

Imo, employers who don’t pay a living wage shouldn’t be upset about people who wanna to go to college and do better for themselves. I was told today that I wouldn’t be able to learn how to make chocolates or fillings and that I would be strictly only “front house” aka cashier since I don’t have work enough hours (read: full-time) to be in the back. I even offered Monday and Wednesday hours that were in-line with the hours they produce chocolate. He said no, that is only for full-time workers. Like what the heck. Sorry that I want to do better for myself and don’t want to live on a poverty wage forever.

As the title says. Was working part time to support myself during masters but today was too much and left. They tried calling me offering more. Feels good man.

Little backstory: there is a coworker I have, a woman, very rude, obnoxious, toxic to work with. Her and another coworker known for having a bad attitude were training a new hire last week, they treated her horribly. She ended up leaving the shift crying. She went and told our boss about it. Then, two days ago, I got pulled into the office to explain what happened and give my side. I was honest about these coworkers attitudes and how this isn't the first time they have shown this kind of toxic behavior and it needs to be addressed. Then, my boss assigned me to train the new worker. I accepted. I left the office to go begin training her, and around that time the toxic coworker shows up. She immediately rudely asks me if I had performed a task at work that has shared responsibility, and got angry when…

Well let's make a long story short, previously worked two jobs one being entry-level sales $20/hr-31 miles away from where I live( So 1.18-hour drive back and forth), and decided to look for part-time work to replace my current job and save up for starting investing in online real estate, and open up possible online ventures, using my skills and trade. ​ (Sorry sales vibe showing itself: Hint. If you're ever looking to start an online venture, focus on items with low overhead. ​ build on *value*, and also scarcity for a quick sale, before people notice you are trying to sell them useless junk. Also if your using a timer on your website make sure it works, otherwise you just look dumb when the timer clicks down and the price stays the same, it kind of looks bad ​ (Example Price Point, and fear tactics(Cap): ​ Digital product 300…

My previous employer fired me while I was on medical leave following a major surgery. As requested, I was regularly supplying letters from my surgeons office that explained I wasn't released to return yet. My last doctor's note I submitted included a specific return to work date. The date was a few weeks out. I had been working there for less than 1 year. It's a right to work state. It's a shitty situation, but it is what it is. During my medical leave I received a call and email from HR. It stated on that date they were separating employment due to my medical leave. In the letter, my previous employer said one of the main reasons was that they never received a return to work date. The verbage used was unprofessional. It made it seem that it was my fault I wasn't released to return yet. The kicker…

My school aged child was exposed to COVID last week. I notified my direct manager and explained I needed to have myself and child tested (we were stuck in house due to a snowstorm with my exposed child for a few days before we were notified) and get results before child was able to return to school or quarantine. I was told to return to work right away, whether results were negative or positive. If child had to quarantine I was to find childcare and return to work within 24 hours. My child and I were negative and I was ok to return to work. This isn’t the first time my job objected to me taking time off (that I had plenty off to handle situations like this). So I handed in my notice. When I went to HR, I was told that I was the 23rd person THIS WEEK…
