This sub inspired me to leave a job I hated and now I’m in a job which is much better

I left my job in car finance due to a shitty boss, low pay and 60 hour weeks (six days every week). I'm in Australia, and honestly some of the stuff I read on here just shocks me about how bad it can be in other countries – but in Australia this was the worst job I've ever had. Thanks for inspiring me to take the jump and now I'm in a much better place with great pay, good flexibility, the ability to work from home and great perks and co workers. Don't lose sight of the dream, and never ever take shit from your employer's.

I have one vacation in my adult life and I took it when I was in-between jobs. In 2002. I need a break.

I feel like I shouldn’t be getting treated like this at work

Here is a little back story I’ve been working for this company again for about 8 months now, I previously worked with them for two years at another location. The first mistake I made was getting close with the managers. The first month or two were great, we made jokes amongst each other, I would be in the office with them sometimes and it just seemed like the best job all together, I felt like I was apart of something and could grow in the company. But I feel like I put all my eggs in one basket. When I felt burnt out about certain things. I would get called out for feeling burnt out or would be told my hours would get cut if I was feeling that way or be told That maybe I shouldn’t be doing overtime during the holidays then. (But what they weren’t understanding is…

Speaking Spanish banned at my aunt’s work… where 40 out of 45 employees are Latino.

i'm so fucking mad my aunt works at a daycare center where the owner of the establishment is a white person and a vast majority of the employees are Latino. To the surprise of no one, the employees mostly speak Spanish to each other. After overhearing them for the past few months (there's cameras in the classrooms) the owner made the announcement that “This is an American daycare and so we should all speak ENGLISH to each other. Speaking Spanish is now prohibited.” Actually insane. It's not like the caretakers ever even speak Spanish to the kids- they teach/speak to them all in English. It's ONLY when they speak to each other that they speak in Spanish because duh it's what they're most comfortable with??
