So before I text this out just bear with me if this isn't the easiest to read. I have a bit of hard time translating thought to text and I might add in extra details or leave our crucial things but if you ask in the comments I will elaborate. So I'm a manager at a fast food place, I used to work closes but recently they moved me to late evenings because labor costs which is whatever, it sucks but I adapted pretty quickly which I usually don't do as quickly but to the topic at hand. There's 2 other night managers that work with me that are really close friends of mine and the other coworkers are my close friends as well. Anyway the deal is I close the two days they aren't there because the two I'm friends with are nigh inseparable. But this week I had…

Injury advice
I NEED HELP. I got injured at work a few weeks ago and got a work clearance certificate that lasts me until the 3rd of Feb from my doctor. It said that I was cleared for light duties only and as the roster had already been made up for the week following, I was able to work my normal shifts but shorter hours. This week, I don't get rostered on so I ask my manager why that is. He tells me that he's not going to roster me on for a few weeks until I've completely healed because he needs someone at 100%. Fair enough. I let WorkCover know that I've been removed from the roster for a few weeks and confirmed that my manager said I needed to be 100% and there are no duties that I can attend to until I'm at that capacity. WorkCover says that they…

I’ll be speaking to an attorney tomorrow
Don't be like me and stand up for your health and rights before it gets this far. I had COVID and followed the work 'policy'. I showed up for my first day back on Monday. I told my boss I'm still feeling some of the residuals and need to take it a little easier. She says okay and I get bombarded with stuff about how my clients are pissed because the accounts I was working (that I asked for help with) didn't get anything done and that my morning is full. I pass out at this point and come to on the ground with everybody there. They get me water, I'm still seeing double and mention it. My boss just gets my work stuff out and takes it to my desk for me to 'help out'. It takes me a good ten minutes before I'm able to get up and…

HR’s “January present” to all employees
I was hoping I would never have any content to post here, but after having a team meeting and seeing everyone, including myself, receive these “gifts” I couldn't help myself. My warehouse job has us working three 12 hour shifts 1 week, then 4 twelve hour shifts the next week. This pattern alternates on a week by week basis. However, for the past 2 weeks we've been expected and required to work an additional 12 hour shift. At our meeting today (shift supervisor and all warehouse workers on shift) we were told that the mandatory overtime would be extended until the end of February. If you miss one of these overtime days, which is scheduled outside of your previously agreed upon schedule, then you will receive an attendance point. Yes, a point based attendance system in a warehouse environment, strange I know. Anyways, the duck and hot cocoa was so…

Staff Meeting
Bunch of worthless shit talked about but my favorite was that we now have to put our stuff away first and grab our stuff after clocking in/out. Maybe 2 minutes of time. Less then a dollar of pay. No one “steals time” like they say we do. We walk in, clock in up front, head to the back, put our stuff in locker and walk back up front. If I’m on the premises I should be clocked in?(not including lunch breaks) Am I wrong?

in need of help/advice
i have been working for an independently owned and operated Best Western for over a year (Best Western Corporate still has reign over them in terms of human resources and etc.) when i first started things were great, and slowly it progressed into being the worst and most toxic work environment i have ever seen or faced. just to name a few things wrong: – the owner makes nasty comments on all her female staff’s weight – one of the employees was never reprimanded for threatening to burn down the hotel, and for physically assaulting a drunk guest – owner’s son who is second in charge calls his staff stupid, idiots, dumb, etc. – i’ve been threatened of being fired and called lazy for “refusing someone service” (we were sold out of the amount of rooms he needed for the week for his workers so i directed him to speak…
I’m over my job.. I’m an accountant for a small corporation that’s riddled with nepotism and favoritism.. I’m doing the work that two or even three people should be doing based off how big we are/ how many employees and locations we have and I’m not getting paid enough to pay my bills.. I also can’t stand working/ sitting in front of a computer all day.. I’d love to be able to work for myself/ do my art, I’m too exhausted from looking at hundreds of invoices a day do to anything creative after work. My rent just went up and water bill just went up, natural gas prices just doubled. I’ve lived without a microwave for two years because I enjoy cooking, now I have to get a microwave because I can’t afford to cook, my bill has jumped $60 and the month isn’t even over. I don’t know…
