Work for a multi-billion dollar telecommunications company as a sales associate with one other associate. This associate and I run the store. Management is 2 hours away. Our store made the #1 sales store in the region for January. Associate got a letter from regional (5 ranks above ours) thanking them and them only for placing our store in #1 ranking. Literally nothing said to me. We have equal responsibilities. I make sales. I manage paperwork, process bill payments, troubleshoot, clean, keep customers satisfied (or at least convince them that they’re satisfied), set up trouble calls, build customers accounts, track my interactions, etc. Also did some math and found that a month worth of met quota sales pays me out $390 for the month. The company makes $25,000 a year for that month of subscriptions. I’m awarded $4k a year in commission if I meet 12 months quota compared to…

So I got a job with this non-profit that basically outsources film instructors to youths. Once a week, I go to my local youth center and assist kids in producing film/video related stuff. The organization I'm employed by is egregiously disorganized. When I was interviewed, the time and day of the interview changed 4 times before the interview actually happened. Then there was “training” I had to do (which was also rescheduled 4 times, per their problems, not mine). After my first day, the HR person reached out and asked how it went. I replied that it was more of an improvised position than I anticipated, but I'd get over it. I also mentioned that one of the instructors at this youth center had a problem keeping his mask on (this guy is paired with my group for whatever reason). I mentioned that this was a health issue that I…

I’m not sure if this is the best place to go for advice, but with everything I’ve been seeing about working in this country, I’m a little nervous to start out. I just got a part time job as a janitor at a local convenience store, and I’m wondering if there is anything I should know that I don’t already. So if anyone has any advice or tips to give me, I’d greatly appreciate it 🙂

I've had enough! I currently work in the hospitality industry, I'm work on both bar and on the floor at whetherpsoons. Earlier I had a full blown panic attack and my manager essentially told me I need to stop and basically threatened my job (not outright) but it was heavily implied.

I’ve been with this company for 3 years. Just changed from specialist 1 to level 2, and took on multiple new trainees from 2021. I’ve trained over 20-30 people in our standards and procedures just as a standard employee. My boss has constantly been relying on me for help and I’m one of the most established people in the department. There’s even been meetings that I sit in as a substitute for my boss because I know our daily procedures better than they do. My boss has been commending me for my excellent production score and hyping up my pay increase for weeks. Today, I got the confirmation that it’s an increase of 0.80 an hour. I’m furious and stated writing out the email. I spoke to some coworkers and theirs were anywhere between .30-.50. What do you even say to these people to have a slim chance in hell…

Hi, I gave a piece of my mind to a former employer in a public park in Philly a while ago. I recorded the whole thing. It was not pleasant, I cursed him out etc. My question is is it allowed to post? It was epic!

I hate my manager so much. When I first came here, all the other coworkers told me about her anger issues and that as long as you're not on her bad sad, things will be fine. But without talking to me at all, she reduced my days in half. Apparently, she had a meeting with all the workers and told them that they've been lacking in performance. And then she said that from now on, scheduling would be based on performance. I wasn't working that day. I wasn't even scheduled to work that day. I had to hear about this from another coworker. She hasn't email me anything about it and this meeting happened three days ago. I wish she would've talked to me first at least. For clarification, this is retail job.

My fiance had several friends over this past weekend and many of them are sick and have tested positive for covid. Regardless my fiance's boss is requiring him to work and is telling him to not take a test even though he is clearly sick too. One of his coworkers is old and already not in good health, and I'm really worried contracting it would kill him, not to mention the customers. This is so so so fucked up. What can we do??????

The rich elites don't really think of money, money is just a proxy for them to partition off more and more natural resources and manufacturing power. Every single rich person you know is, at least on paper, in constant massive debt, but the whole scheme is that they're taking on that debt to hoard more and more resources so they can take on more debt to hoard more resources. And no, no one's foreclosing on someone for doing this, haven't you been paying attention? In 2008 they literally just shoved as many tax dollars into their accounts as possible so that people could keep buying the scheme. Once you escape the mind prison of “money” you'll be able to live a lot more mindfully and be able to focus on what actually matters, making sure the people you give a shit about are fed and healthy. This is distribution of…
