I’m a cart attendant. As you can imagine, working in a parking lot that is coated completely in ice is difficult and dangerous. I don’t ask for help because I already know damn well that my supervisor doesn’t care to give me any. But today, my supervisor not only forced me to work out in the most hazardous terrain I could possibly work in as a cart attendant all day without help, but two minutes before the store closes they demanded that I further put my literal ass at risk, just so they could have the peace of mind that I didn’t spend two minutes not working. And then to rub further salt in the wound, literally, they told another employee to salt the sidewalk, because they didn’t want anyone slipping and falling when they leave. No boss of mine has ever made me so face-meltingly angry in the 10…

I'm not sure if this belongs here but I'm honestly stunned at such a huge increase in less than a year. I am almost certain that the people still working the same position aren't getting a $5 raise. Even though it wasn't intentional, I see now that it literally pays to job hop, sometimes.

Today at work our HR manager proudly told us that it was Employee Appreciation Day for our hotel and what they did for us was to bring all of the department heads to a baseball game while the employees worked. I feel so appreciated right now.

Is this illegal in the USA? Where can I reference this? Thanks.
