Help w/ co-worker?

Hi, I'm not sure if this post belongs in this subreddit, but I have gotten great advice here just reading others posts, so I'm hoping to get an ear. I work in an office setting, with no current direct supervisor. I have an acting supervisor, who this post is about. When I started she wasn't my acting supervisor, and we were friends (or so I thought). About two months into the job, since they hadn't hired a supervisor, they made her my acting supervisor. Last week, she comes over to my desk and says, “Hey I just want to keep it real because I don't like when people talk about me behind my back, but I told our director that I wouldn't hire you for the position permanently because you lack the authoritativeness needed for this position.” She played it off as “constructive criticism”, but since she already gave me…

What national event do you think could push workers to the brink?

Corporations gearing up for potential recession as cost of living and inflation steadily increases. Ecological disasters as a direct effect of de-regulation. Every system from college to land ownership to healthcare feels like it's designed to put us into perpetual debt. With U.S. Approval of Labor Unions at Highest Point Since 1965 you would think there would be more movement from activists. Do you think there will be a time where the workers have had enough and larger tangible change comes about? Or do you think we are stuck in a boring dystopia?

Advice for first job

I just got a a job as a cashier at a fast food restaurant. I'm 23 years old and this is my first job ever due to my really extreme anxiety. Most of my coworkers/managers have been helpful and understanding in training me and showing me how to do things. Most of the time things have been going smoothly and I have learned and corrected any mistakes that I've made. However, I think that my GM does not like me. She has tried to show me how to do things but I have trouble hearing people, especially with how loud the kitchen is and with the music blasting. She also has an accent and speaks very quickly, I am often asking her to repeat herself more than once or not doing what she says immediately. I feel really awful about this, I am not trying to cause problems. She gets…

I got a raise I should happy I got something…

Hi, I work for place that makes the things that hold two pieces of metal together. I had started there at the beginning of last October. I did the training, got certified for the things I need to be certified in. The best part, I was never late and never missed a day. Each batch I am responsible for gets checked by the quality department to make sure it's up to snuff, I have yet to get a batch rejected by the quality department. When I finished training I was told I would get a 50 cent raise (huge raise right there). I completed training at the beginning of January, tomorrow is March and I still have yet to receive that raise. The company also gives everyone a raise at the beginning of the new year. Those raises just came out today, my coworker B (bless this man) showed me…

When your boss whose one of the most successful artists in history who runs a property management company and moonlights as a drug dealer, one day asks you to go cleanup one of these houses and collect rent.

This one in particular was destroyed and looted numerous times by the residents there – he once told me he had already file over a dozen insurance claims against the property totaling over 250K according to him, normally we didn't deal with these homes, his right hand guy did personally for obvious reasons. He bragged that he was making more on insurance claims than rent. Later when his wife died he bragged to us that he stole it back by convincing one of his friends to testify that there was a contract for the return…

Do you understand the processes at your company ?

Or are the processes confuse? Do you know who is responsible for what ?
