The grocery store I work at made it’s cashiers sign a policy stating not to automatically scan the store ad. Noted that automatically scanning the ad is not “thinking like an owner”

CITGO had an employee appreciation day

And guess what? Even tho i’m security and work for them, security wasn’t even included on the “food delivery” lists for yesterday and today. Are you fucking shitting me? In a company that could easily gove out monetary bonuses to ALL its emoloyees and they give us a fucking half assed pizza party? Ya’ll, enwrathed is not a kind enough work to express the rage i feel in my heart rn. I want to break literally every single fucking 1000$+ citgo computer in here. I’m so fucking mad. And they geto it of giving bonuses because oh, it’s not included in the contract. This is what i have to look forward to? Work until i’m cured of diabetes or kill myself? Fuck man. I’m tired. So so SO goddamn tired

Teacher- was told yesterday that I am fired as of June 2, 2023. How do I keep going to work for the next few months?!

No reason or explanation for the decision to non-renew my contract. I was probationary status, first year in this district, and they legally don’t have to give me a reason for firing me. All of my observations by the principal were outstanding. He even offered me a recommendation letter- but I’m also forbidden from ever working in the district again. Never heard even a whisper of criticism. How will I make it till June?!?! Would you quit now or teach through the rest of the academic year? I swear the district manipulates teachers to stay using the emotions of “it’s not fair to leave the children mid year, they’re innocent.”

Had to remind my boss tonight he doesn’t own the public steet

My “boss” came out of the kitchen today demanding I move my car. I was extremely confused because it’s the same spot I’ve been parking in for over a year now. He turns to a bunch of customers at the bar with a smug “watch this” face and says “because your boss told you to move your car”. I outright reminded him that I’m parked in a public spot and unless he suddenly got the rules of his authority changed I’m going to keep parking wherever the hell I want as long as it’s legal. His argument is that customers should be able to park closer and that we lowly employees can park 2 blocks away in the public lot even today during a heavy downpour. Not a chance.

I’m Not Ready To Forgive

I've been struggling with my feelings about the heartbreaking (?) Story about a CEO underling getting fired. A part of me thinks these people should be the first to go to the back of the line if our society ever restructured itself. I've been unemployed, under paid and worked absurdly hard my whole life, and the vanguard of that experience was always somebody like him making sure I never had enough. What goes around finally came around and my well of sympathy has run completely dry. I'm not a vindictive person by nature, it hurts me to wish I'll will on somebody else, and I feel conflicted about it now even. I'm just not ready to forgive.

My company is “softly” demanding I use 5 PTO days this month, anyone see this before?

I do not have an excessive amount of hours and it's company wide. We just had a small round of layoffs and now this. Has anyone gone through something similar and what came next? P.S. I'm a working chump

unfit for employment

i’ve been in two jobs since the past two years. i cannot handle stress plus very little attention to details and get things messed up. (i work with numbers and deadlines). my first company was very toxic. my second company is very supportive and positive. but one thing that does not change: how incompetent and messy i am. should i just not consider a career at all? how do i live?
