I am a really quiet, friendly, nice person. So I don't ever snap at people.. I hate confrontation. But this morning I couldnt take it anymore. I was tired of being treated like crap by a toxic supervisor ( foreman in construction) and yelled at him in a burst of rage. Examples of his toxicity include: -Swearing profanely around our jobsites which can be at an Elementary school, or a church. -Always being so negative and blaming everything on me. -Getting into my face and wanting to fight or trying to provoke one. The list goes on and on. It us only me and him and a boss in the company, so no HR or anything. He drinks and does cocaine during work. Anyways, after the incident he apologized and we talked it over. He wasn't being mean to me for the rest of the day. However I feel like…
They're now enforcing eating at registers instead of standing off to the side out of customer view because “we don't get lunch breaks” Is there any action my coworkers and I can take to fight this? In North Carolina, at-will state.
I've noticed that every year, at Superbowl time, the media pushes this story about how Superbowl fans are costing their employers millions of dollars. They've been pushing this story for at least a decade now. Here's a few examples I found in a quick google search: 2012: https://www.tlnt.com/super-bowl-hangover-yes-employees-may-be-less-productive-on-monday/ 2016: https://innoculous.com/2016/02/quiet-at-the-office-today-maybe-its-superbowlitis/ 2017: https://www.vbjusa.com/opinion/tip-of-the-week/dont-let-super-bowl-deflate-workplace/ 2018: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/on-small-business/wp/2018/02/02/the-super-bowl-could-cost-employers-3-billion/ https://www.cnbc.com/2018/02/01/the-monday-after-the-super-bowl-could-cost-employers-3-billion-heres-why.html 2019: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/super-bowl-monday-could-cost-companies-roughly-4-billion/ https://www.washingtonpost.com/business/2019/02/01/super-bowl-monday-million-are-expected-call-sick/ Here's the story you probably won't see them post on Monday: How the biggest form of theft in the US is actually wage theft committed by employers. Here's a few examples of that story, I found in a quick google search: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2021/dec/07/want-to-be-a-criminal-in-america-stealing-billions-is-your-best-bet-to-go-scot-free https://www.epi.org/blog/wage-theft-by-employers-is-costing-u-s-workers-billions-of-dollars-a-year/ https://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/national-politics/the-race/wage-theft-is-the-costliest-crime-in-america https://www.gq.com/story/wage-theft
Google Employee audibly laughed at me during a silent moment where I was thinking, during an interview 2 days ago. I was 5 minutes into solving a test given to me that only told me to merge 3 Linked Lists into one sorted one. The requirements only mentioned it generically and it did not mention they were pre-sorted at all so I had no idea what these inputs were lifecycle-wise [not mentioned in requirements]. I block allocated the 3 separate lists as if they were different pooled users, I then copied the elements into a new merged list in a sorting loop which was block allocated with the size of all 3. I kept the data integral because I was not aware of their use, the spec said nothing of that so I would assume they are used if they're just given to a function. Sure thats not what you…
Someone told me this but I couldnt believe it, they dress fancy and handle our financal interaction, have to go the school and are paid around minimum wage or only slightly more? Can anyone verify this?
