I’ve been working at a small-ish ice cream shop as an opener for a little over a year now. I don’t want to say the exact name, but a big hint is that we make the ice cream with liquid nitrogen. The entire store is run by teenage girls aged 16-19. But, we run this shop like the navy. Everyone knows their responsibilities, all prep work gets done on time, and customers are always satisfied. We have a 4.5 star rating. Our old boss/the owner was amazing. She was batshit insane, but we loved her and she was incredibly kind to us. She recently sold the store which made everyone pretty upset and unsure about the future of our jobs. She assured us that the new owners will keep everything the same: hours, pay, etc. That has not proven to be true. They’re making dozens of small changes that have…

I was hired and given a schedule by a previous employer. Then I heard indirectly though a coworker they don’t want us working for her. The manager never told me anything and I’ve been trying to reach them about it but get left on read. If I have receipts, what can I do?

Hi guys, ​ In a tricky situation here. I'm an End User Services Director in a company of over 6000 people. I have a Helpdesk Manager reporting directly to me, who has 4 Helpdesk Team Leads with a combined 30 engineers reporting to them. I report into the VP of End User Services who reports directly to the CIO, this VP has only been with us since mid-November but it's been a long two months. I do not feel the hire was correct at all and will expand upon this later. The background behind the VP role is that it was filled by a contractor for 9 months, who didn't really do anything except overcommit (despite my disagreements and experience in my current role – been here 2 years) and under deliver. The items that were over-committed on were ones that I had publicly stated on record within the leadership…

And to promote worker well being. Yes, driving 1-2hrs for work is great for our health. These companies are all a joke. Sounded like it was written by men 60+, trying to get back to the good ole days.

My boss claims to be pro-choice but the only choice she supports is abortion. I (39f) have a pregnant teenage co-worker. Whenever this coworker isn't around my boss talks about how stupid she is for not having an abortion and how she's ruining her life. Despite my coworker telling her she plans to return to work after her maternity leave our boss openly complains that the coworker won't be able to come back and if she does she'll be unreliable because kids get in the way. She also complains about customers having kids. She'll wait until they walk away and make comments about how these women should have 'kept their legs closed' or how they threw their lives away on children. I myself have two kids 6 and 10. A different coworker recently told me that my boss made negative comments about both my kids and my pregnant coworker in…

Hey everyone, I work at a retail store, and there is a customer who comes in once or twice a week, spends about an hour shopping (it’s a small store and doesn’t take that long to find what you need) and makes weird and creepy flirtatious comments to all the female employees that are working. Everytime he comes in, all the female employees go somewhere to avoid him, and I (a male) have to go to the register and check him out until he’s out of the store. He doesn’t necessarily say anything malicious, but will make flirtatious comments such as “Hey I like your hair that way” or “You have really pretty eyes”. My general manager has talked to this guy already but clearly he has not taken it seriously because he came in again today saying all the same things and not toning the flirting down at all.…
