I recently started working at a tax prep firm a month ago, I've received 2 paychecks so far, and after receiving the second one, I thought the pay was a lot lower than expected, so I did the math and found out I worked 37 hours and 14 minutes, but my paycheck said I worked 33 hours and 43.8 minutes. I electronically check in at work so I have a recorded history of each check in/out. I talked to a friend and she said my hours may have been shorted, but I work a bare minimum of 3 hours a day, 5 days a week, and even after completely excluding any extra mins( ex. Getting to work 5 mins early, staying 30 mins later than usual), my pay should still have been higher than what was on the paycheck. I like my job and want to keep it, but I…

The old shop owner said that my character would not stay in one place for long and it would change like this..They told me that I have no manners but in fact they were the ones who treated me with bad manners because I had been so streesed for so long that I stopped one day .. They knew how difficult it was to run a shop without a lot of people. When they tried to shout me, I said I know my rights and a worker has a right to stop and leave a place. In fact it was a woman who was terribly jealous that I got a new job..she said that they got someone who was doing a better job than me.Seeing their condition, I felt pity that theirs is an institution that ceases to exist by the time someone stops working.

Like many lately, I was laid off from a job I worked for 7 years due to budgetary cutbacks. I have held many of the beliefs this sub holds and felt like I was doing a good at not linking my job to who I am and my worth, but as it turns out, I feel completely lost now. For the first time in 18 years, I do not have employment. I do have savings, have adjusted to a more frugal everyday life, and am good for at least 3 months before I need to start to make more major cutbacks in my lifestyle. I'm extremely lucky in this regard. However, I have lived every day since my termination 2.5 weeks ago in extreme anxiety and depression. I, of course, need to find employment in order to continue to support my family and I'm doing all the things I should…

My job entails I work a hybrid of remotely and on site. All this week I've had little to no work when doing remote work (no tickets, no tasks set by manager and my coworkers aren't needing my help). I'm still the new guy here for less than a year, and the one coworker I'm really cool with I tell him how lazy I've been. His response: “What? You can't be doing that. You're gonna get fired! If they aren't giving you work it means they don't trust you, you need prove yourself more” He was worried about my employment, i get it, but i hated how openly the owning rich class brags about doing nothing and being lazy and getting money but we the working class bitch at each other for doing a little work and getting paid. Like, instead of saying “nice, they don't pay us a living…

“Hi [recruiter name], thanks for reaching out, but I’m not interested in new roles at the moment. I can offer some advice though. If your client is indeed only hiring for an onsite role, I recommend they convert the position to remote or risk hiring sub-par talent while losing their best.”

Hi everyone, long time lurker, first time poster. Had a pretty horrible experience with my employer yesterday and wanted to share. I’m a leased employee (work for anthem but a staffing firm pays me) and I accepted my job back in December. They sent me my employment agreement when I accepted the offer and it listed my pay, the date of my first paycheck and all of the paid holidays I would get. Pretty normal stuff. My employment agreement stated Presidents’ Day was a paid holiday. Sweet, so I didn’t work on Presidents’ Day. Last week I notice I didn’t receive holiday pay. I notified my employer immediately and they assured me I would get my holiday pay next paycheck (on 3/10). Kinda annoying but I could wait a week. Of course I didn’t get my holiday pay yesterday either. I called them again and they didn’t seem to understand…
