I'm currently working on the lot of an online dealership and making minimum wage. I've worked here about 4 weeks and already they have me training new people. I'm spineless and socially awkward so just kind of said yes and sort of trained them, but I'm tired of being stepped on and want to know the best way to tell them I won't train without compensation?

Profiteering and hoarding property is sickening. To all the landlords reading this, you should know that housing is becoming more and more unaffordable every year. YOU are part of that problem, YOU are the reason that certain people are becoming homeless and sick because they can't afford to buy a home. YOU are hurting people directly with your decision to hoard property and stick strictly to market prices. Just know, when more people realize this, nobody is going to care that you get stuck on your investment and go broke because people are pushing back. Nobody in any decent city is going to stick up for you. You are a parasite. You are a nobody.

So story time. Some time in January, I took a job at a neighborhood Walmart. It's been now nine weeks since then. I work stocking and the first few weeks I worked in a freezer since I was an extra for meat duty. I can handle that but the 4am to 1pm shift is difficult on me and my family. My car was totaled back in December and I've been saving for a new one. I'm meant to be paid 14$ and am meant to work full time. Instead they've kept my hours at 39 instead of 40 and now they're lowering it to 35. Not only that, I found out they're actually paying me 13 and not 14. Now today they're having me work in a freezer where the temperature is 0 Fahrenheit. It's my first time working in there. I'm moving as fast as I can while not…

So my title is HR Assistant and I have been at this new job for about 6 months. Like most jobs, everyone is on their P's and Q's and then you start to get an idea of the office bullshit. My coworkers and I report to the director but any time I have a question my boss “the director” refers me to the person who manages the secretaries up front. Now this would make sense if that was my title as the other ladies have said title and are in a different part of the building. It seems any question I have about polices gets deflected whereas my colleagues with more professional titles he never re-directs. Any time my colleagues need to take off, it is not problem they also are not forced to clock in. I sit in the back with my coworkers and I am the only one…

I was trying to stay anonymous because of my job but I dont care anymore. Weve been working mandatory OT since Sept. They finally knocked it down to 5 hours a week mandatory. Awesome. They said they dont care WHEN we work it, beginning of shift or after, just as long as we work the hours we signed up for. I worked my OT this morning then we got an email that they canceled evening OT. I asked if we worked our OT in the morning, can we leave an hour early You know where this is going. Not only was I told no, they made sure to tell me know in 3 different emails. So they've just trained me to work OT in the evenings since they're gonna do this random canceling of OT. And someone tried to tell me, “Nice try trying to leave early ” in our…
