Boss gets all the holidays off
I work at a fast food chain. I’m going to use they/them pronouns to keep it as anonymous as possible. MY GM (general manager) is essentially my boss, and they’ve managed to give themselves thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, and New Year’s weekend off (Fri-sun). Now we only have two AMs (assistant managers), and we are supposed to have 2 managers at work at per day. So our AMs are being forced to work every holiday because my GM wants them off. I also heard that one of our AMs requested the New Years weekend off, but our GM decided to deny it so they could take it off instead. For outside context, the GM almost never opens, closes, or covers for people, they makes the AMs cover. The GM also doesn’t work weekends very often (maybe once or twice a month), even though in our chain managers are only supposed to…

I hate my company’s mousepad
Self check out is a ploy. Reduce the number of cashiers so there's longer lines while offering self check out. It's not automation like some people claim. It's offloading the work of a cashier onto the customers. Next they'll be trying to get you to stock the shelves too! But this has lead to an uptick in theft. Because unpaid workers have no incentive to do their jobs well and scan every item. 🙂 What are they going to do? Fire you? Hire employees to watch you? Which would completely defeat the purpose of self check outs.

Unpaid employees aren't doing their jobs correctly. So, instead of PAYING people, this company, which made 146 BILLION dollars this year, is threatening to close stores. Which, first of all, is complete bull shit. This is such…
And get this, I fucking work at a hospital. Upon returning to work while still suffering from symptoms and the aftermath of my medical issue that got me in the hospital ICU in the first place, my supervisor emailed me and said “I am so sorry to hear about what happened to you. Unfortunately doctors notes are irrelevant and you will still be written up for these sick days. I hope you are feeling better!” I hate it here. I hate living in America. And I hate working in healthcare where they do not give a single shit about me because every single one of us busting our asses to take care of patients while we have terrible patient/nurse ratios is replaceable . I hate it here. I wish I didn’t have to work a job that cares nothing about me to barely make ends meet. So frustrated.
