I’m not saying my job does this,, jus curious

This is a follow-up on another post I have made here. Since asking my previous questions, I've been “fired” (lol) and am now being threatened for not giving up the password to the local admin account on the laptop I used. We were never given credentials to sign into a web browser to complete our work, so I had to use my personal. I do not want to give up the local admin password because she would then have access to my google drive and chrome that I was denied permission to sign out of before leaving. I have signed out from all devices and changed the password from my personal, but the thought is still scary based on the previous post. All of the company files are stored on a server so she still has access to all of her business files and I no longer have access to…

I work for a great company that has terrible leaders at certain locations. So when you find yourself being treated poorly, take the time to ask this question. If it’s a company, by all means get out of there. If it’s just a bad leader/manager check around at the other locations. I know I have taken in plenty of “bad” employees that have turned out to be great people that were treated badly.

I need some real world data here… My local news station is on this kick, particularly one reporter, that people don't want to work anymore. (Truthfully no one does…) I want to provide real world experiences to this reporter so that HOPEFULLY they'll consider doing a bit from the other side. Now I know there's a portion of people in here who are gonna bring up capitalism being bad, a portion who talk about the ultra rich being evil, a portion who just plain old don't want to work, a portion who hates money, and a portion who just want a living wage. This is NOT the post to complain and offer an opinion. The fact is, our current economic system is what it is. You need money to pay for the goods and services you need/want. And typically that requires having a job or owning a business. Something that…

After going to therapy, listening to friends, and going through community college… I don't understand why I need to hit myself trying to find a full-time job. I mean.. I have food and shelter with my parents right now, I've got no interest to be in a relationship, and I don't have any irl friends. Honestly, it sounds like getting better at my interest would be more worth my time than slaving away at a full-time job. I'll be miserable if I get one anyway, right? I've got a part-time job right now and I'm already miserable. Why not just use this time to focus on shit I like? Maybe I could make money doing it? I'd rather be mentally happy over wanting to kill myself every day.

A red weather warning (the severest level) has been issued where I live in the UK, advising not to travel unless absolutely necessary. This was my managers response. Is making money really worth the risk of your staff safety? This seems so dystopian to me.

Guys i know this sub for defending labor rights and showing how bad can be managers and etc. but It is just shocking my mind out when i see this bullshit companies and bosses. Arent united states supposed to be nice place tho? Arent there some laws whooping their asses ?? Im moving to usa soon,cuz my homeland is even worse but i feel so insecure when i see those situations…

I don't think I can take another day working at the fast food place I'm at.

It really makes me crazy. I work in a bank with about 150k employees. When I got hired, I signed a contract saying I would follow the rules of the bank. The problem is the rules get updated every 6 months and every time there are more crazy limitations. First of all we must have our bank account in this bank, we can't use other banks. Obviously, they totally violate our privacy because they can see every transaction we made, and it happened that I got called and had to explain why I spent my money for something (for example purchases from abroad) They also forbid us to trade in stocks or anything similar. Recently I bought some Bitcoin and they told me it's forbidden and said I must sold them. I said crypto are not stocks, so they simply updated the company rules and added that crypto are forbidden.…

I got a new job and have been here about two weeks. I hated it the first few days and after that it’s just been very meh. I’m feeling incredibly defeated after today. At the beginning of the day today, they were telling us we are all getting a super cool surprise at 2. So anticipating it all day, we finally go down there. “$1,000-$3,000 Bonuses for everybody!” (Just dependent on part time/full time, position, etc) Sweet!!! So the guy presenting them gives this bullshit speech about how this job really cares about all 1,000s of their employees. And basically says this is a very rare occurrence, so don’t expect it often. At the end of this speech, he goes “And these are only for people that started before December 15.” My heart literally sinks as they start passing out bonuses to most other people. They pass me an envelope.…
