How do you deal with a job that expects so much, but pays you nothing and they act like everything is ok?

Is SoCal, my take home pay was less than $35k last year. So many deductions even with no kids, on top of obviously not a ton per hour My managers act as if nothing is wrong. The warehouse I work at makes millions annually

The joy of agency work in the UK

I was booked in to the same school until the end of the term and possible after Easter. I take three days off and get told I’m not needed anymore.

After 30 years in the same company, my mom was finally told she’s being laid off

My mom has been working in her same office job for 30 years. She's exactly like me in the sense that when someone asks her to do something, she will do it, no questions asked to the detriment of her health. She's had several interns quit saying there's no future in the office and she's experienced pretty bad workplace bullying, not to mentions co-workers that does nothing and then forces her to do everything because they know she'll be there to pick up the pieces or she gets blamed. Yet, she says she's been lucky to work there with how safe and stable the position is (and how good her 2-day-office hybrid perks are). 30 years. And somehow I have a higher salary than her with less than 2 years under the corporate belt. My starting salary was already equal to hers. 30 fucking years and she just gets pulled…

I finally put in my two weeks notice

Whether I end up working it out completely is up to my boss. I know I'm going to get a barrage of messages in the morning when she walks into the office and sees my notice sitting on the desk. Like others, I used to enjoy my job. Well, I enjoyed my fast food job as much as one can love a fast food job. When I started I got full time with overtime, I got the days off I wanted, I was willing to learn and fix any mistakes I made. Eventually we get to today, I'm scheduled 32 hours this week, I'm only getting one day off I really want, and instead of getting coached I get yelled at and written up. I've been working there for almost a year. I was promised bonuses and a raise which never came. I told my boss that I can't survive…

Need advice, looking for unemployment before I get fired. Long story; based in USA in NJ at state agency and have history of disability that HR is aware of

My job has been a little weird over the years but let me try my best to condense it. I was a sort of nepotism hire because someone I knew was aware of the ceo. I have no direct contact with the CEO and since this is a state agency he has recently been replaced by another guy but this has not been fully public knowledge to every employee yet. I got hired right as we were heading into locked down, I worked for two weeks and was barely trained as my supervisors had nothing for me to do usually. Once we were in lock down, there was 0 training, my boss at the time also was a new hire and pretty much useless. I had nothing to do during lock down but wrack up more depression. Once we were back in full time much later then most people in…
