I am the only bartender left besides one more who has been given supervising duties so he cannot work on the bar as much as he would like to help out. Not only have I been working 12 hour shifts, clopening, doing 2-3 peoples jobs and BURNING the fuck out, making drinks for a 200 people dining hall + my bar + making less than servers because of their nonesense tip distribution + being scheduled for every single event, theyre fucking cutting my paychecks and thinking i don’t notice ? so many people quit recently mostly because their paychecks were not adding up, and they are constantly “having issues” gathering our tip payout records and before the CEO quit he would catch them messing our pay up all the time. Now that he quit (cannot blame the guy) we’re on our own to try and get this solved but there’s…

hi so i recently got hired at a vet clinic but on my first day there were so many red flags there's no way i wanna stay (will list these out later lol) but they do paper checks so i feel like i can't just ghost them or text i quit and leave it at that. i was gonna stay a couple extra shifts before another place hired me but i don't need the job; in fact i kept my old job at my prior clinic in case my new job was bad (the reason i looked for a new job is bc this one is far away and pay is sad but the manager and coworkers are great and it's not toxic at all) i got an interview for an emergency clinic that will pay more and is no way gonna have all these red flags. so i worked…

I work at a medical call center and I haven’t been happy for a few months, my schedule is also getting in the way of school and life (newly married too) I have a job offer at a school and my schedule would be perfect and summers and breaks off. I let my employer know, the next day the school tried calling to speak to my reference and I believe my supervisor ignored the call, that same day she offered me the same schedule as the school but she couldn’t guarantee a raise. At first I thought I would stat but the longer I’m there the more stressed and unhappy I feel. I fear starting over but I know I learn fast and work hard and that I can succeed in a new job, I also believe working at a school would be much more rewarding. I haven’t responded to…

i hope the title makes sense. i mean, certain things you used to do at work, got in trouble for it, and now are afraid of doing at recent jobs. for example, for me it's telling employers/employees how I really feel about work at the moment: when i was 17, i was working in a drugstore. i've only been working for 2 days. it was relatively slow and dead that day and someone asked me how it was going. i answered honestly and said “it's a little boring but not bad” at the end of the shift, i was told they would call me when they needed me. they never called me again. calling out for a bathroom break: i drink a lot of water and naturally, go to the bathroom a lot. a former employer asked me if i have bladder issues and to maybe stop drinking so much…

As the title says, the hot water works and then it doesn’t. The plumber has come every day and says it’s “fixed” just for it to stop working again. I’ve been told not to wash my hands, they’re washing dishes in cold water, and there hasn’t seem to be any thought about shutting down until it’s truly fixed. Management and ownership only seems concerned about making money, not about safety. I’m starting to feel a bit sick since I’m in gross conditions all day every day without proper sanitation methods, while of course in a pandemic. I really like my job and working there but I kind of want to report it to the health board? Oddly enough the health inspector came in on the off chance that the hot water WAS working. Five minutes after they left, it was down again. Got an excellent rating, meanwhile staff is being…

This happened around a year or two ago at my last job, but I've just got to get it off my chest. I regret not telling someone about it back then. At the time, I was working at a large chain retail store, and had been there around a year. My husband and I were newly married, and I was working part time and he was going to college full time. After my husband had finished college, he was looking for a part time job in the area so we could both start raising money towards a big move. My work was very short staffed. We had a lot of good, qualified people leave due to some problems with management (go figure). One night when closing with my store manager, I approached him asking if we were hiring for a very specific position (I knew we were). If you've worked…

Okay so, I no longer work this job for several reasons. But when I was a pre-k teacher, there would be black out days where no one could request that day off. I remember one month, EVERY SINGLE DAY that month could not be requested off. I was very confused on how this could even be legal. I asked some coworkers and they just said “well… it’s a busy month.” Um then… maybe management should hire more teachers. That’s not my problem. Glad to be out of the preschool system in general because teachers are treated and paid like shit.
