The location that I work at wouldn’t let us take off work from 12/20-12/26 because it’s peak sales and they needed everyone they could get which I understand. However I live in a town with a major college in the state I live in. Most of the people that go there aren’t more than 4hr drive from their home town. At least 40% of the staff goes to this college and isn’t from this city. You are expecting them to stay and work for $11/hr compared to spending time with there families. Yea fuck that We had a tornado warning last month. The sirens started going off cause 4 tornadoes had touched down; within 5 miles of the store that work at. We have a home goods right next to us that is also owned my TJX. They closed cause their store manager had the decency to ask the general…

Wondering how many others appreciate the brief little mental health break they get along with a bathroom break. I’m grateful most companies still allow them and that nobody wants to really accuse anyone of taking too long of one. Anybody’s work places have crazy rules around bathroom usage?

So I worked for this housekeeping company for nearly a year, and recently just dropped this company since my mom's job is fooling around with her hours since she is older and will demand she takes five days off if someone tests positive for covid. So I need something that will provide me with the hours I need, as well as insurance. My boss was not happy, and demanded ill will for me in the future, and victimized themselves saying they had done so much for me, but I had done so much for them, they oftentimes dismiss how uncomfortable I am, and how unsafe I feel, and they failed to inform me plenty of times of their absence from work, and I was basically working their schedule So yesterday was pay day, and I still didn't receive my final pay, which is fine, I will probably get it Friday…

I am hoping to get a few ideas as to whom I could write a strongly worded letter to about work conditions and possible violations of labor laws. I'm in IL.

One of the mot evil companies out there. If they have no tech employees they will fail and they are not a necessity and won’t continued to be used around the world if they have no tech employees. If you work on the tech side of amazon please work somewhere else. You have valuable experience and a remote job

We should all start demanding that check out clerks and greeters, etc get chairs to sit in. It’s ridiculous that this is not already common practice.

In my country we have minimum wage and also guaranteed salary, which depends on your job category by dificulty and responsibility. Today i realise my salary wasn't raise two years in a row ️ (My fault, i should know about that law, but we pay 'salary accounter' whos responsibility is control and comply with the law.) My boss constantly cry about that we don't make enough money, which is not true because i see in to the system. Yes we don't make enough money to feed their 6 horses, a farm, a pig and a flock of hens. Tomorrow i will send long email. Sorry for my english, its not my first language. I am so stressfull and upset and disapointed right now

Still in my first 90 days. One of my duties is to track the attendance of 75 people, broken down into three shifts. Morning, Swing, and Graveyard. Plus the 5-10 people that do another role within the company, ie maintenance etc. They just started enforcing the attendance policy and gave me a craptrastic excel sheet to record every employees attendance. It is not cohesive, it is a tiny list and half our employees are related, so many have the same last name. I simply could not keep up with people during a two week covid outbreak and made errors on the sheet and got written up for it-we had up to 25 people calling out every day. Today my manager and I sat down and she could hardly manage to maneuver it…and made error after error. I get paid barely above minimum wage, if this is SO important and ties…

I have been working at a public charter school for the last 7 years and I have thoroughly enjoyed my job that entire time. Working with kids is my passion and there is so much I have learned about myself in all this time. When covid first hit I considered leaving because I thought the practices in my district were going to get people killed (which they did, but thats not the focus of my post) and I nearly turned in my resignation. I stayed from then and I have poured everything into being a model to these kids in the darkest time we have faced for a long while. But last week, my boss emailed me and said that I was not going to have a position at my school next year. I feel so betrayed and disrespected and the labor situation between me and my bosses has been…
