in the past few months i’ve been employed at texas roadhouse, i quit in november due to personal reasons and some minor issues with management and the way the whole place was ran and staffed. but here recently i went back because i was having trouble getting in anywhere else this time of year. and since starting back saturday of last week i worked a total of 4 days and over 40 hours. mind you, i am a minor and in my state minors are not permitted to work over 18 hours on a school week. this week had been a school week for me. i requested to speak to my scheduling manager or the owner/manager who manages everything when i first started so that i’d be able to write out a schedule that works for my online school program and my life basically. unfortunately the short time i had…

In my last job my boss didnt like me and i didnt like him but i never cause trouble and just minded my bussiness, i could sense he was waiting for whatever reason to fire me even though i was a good employee and did my job. When it finally happened i didnt even went against it because i felt so unhappy there. Now, i got a call from a different company to inform me they wanna hire me but one hour later the man who is gonna be my boss in this new company said that HR asked for references about me to my former job and that one boss said that they dont recommend me at all. This made me really upset because i couldnt believe that this old man would be that petty to try to cause this kind of trouble to me. Thankfully, my new boss…

My senior manager called us all into a mandatory Zoom meeting Friday afternoon and told us from Monday we would all need to return to the office full time. Yes, now 30 people have to find alternate travel, child care, pet care etc arrangements over the weekend and return to the office Monday or they will be out of a job. When pressed why we needed to return – with a straight face – he said he is getting lonely in the office all on his own. This guy does not joke, he was serious! What has been the craziest reason management has used at your workplace to justify this?

Lies being spread. Comes up again every couple months..need advice Long story short a couple months ago I took a shot and worked somewhere with clientele I knew I probably wouldn't like. Fast forward less than a month later with several sick days in there I left respectfully, was wished well and that I'd be missed and I was amazing when I was there. Next job has a boss who is related to someone who works at first job. VERY TOXIC environment, lots of gossip, lots of drama, call outs. Working overtime, unfair wages etc. I go 3 months with a boss I would equate to a high school drama teenager before I realize I didn't leave one hell to go to another. I put in my notice. The exact week j out in my notice I am called into his office and accused of making slanderous posts and online…

From what i understand of the US system of government, it isnt the federal governments job to raise the minimum wage The federal minimum wage is supposed to be the lowest amount the state can offer, not the minimum wage. The federal minimum wage is for Redneck Jimmy in the middle of nowhere powing a farm, not a server in a big city The state, county and city can all legislate their on minimum wage. The federal minimun should be the living wage for the lowest denominator with the lowest cost of living. It is the job of local government to make their workers have a living wage I think this is just a rouse to divert the attention of people from the people who have the power I really want to hear your thoughts on this matter PS: i'm not american, i live in romania Edit: messed up formating

I got a job at my local Panera Bread, and it is not what I expected. I only worked for around 8 hours within the past 2 weeks, because they haven't put me on the schedule. And when they do, a manager will text you hours before you go to tell you not to come in, because its a “slow work day”. This place has so much cross contamination, on top of some rude managers and 2 face co workers. I had so much anxiety about coming into this job, I feel so relived to know I wont be there anymore.

i tried to make a post here the other day seeking help. couldn’t post and kept getting an error. today my boss was fired for mistreatment. he has been trying to fire me for 2 years.

I (23f) have worked for this very large paint company for 2 years. The location I work at has been chaotic for quite sometime. We have had 3 manger in the span of 1 year. Manger #1 (M#1) was fired, manger #2 (M#2) quit, and now we have new management (M#3). One day M#2 accused me of possession of drugs. She had claimed I smell like marijuana and threatened to have the police called on me. I never had drugs on me so I agree to having the police called as well as my manger to go through my bag and pat me down. M#2 never looked through my bag or patted me down instead she called the district manger which he wrote me up for something unrelated. I was gave me a warning for possession of drugs that I did not have. Police never got called but I offered…

I am writing this letter because on Saturday, February 11th, a horrible incident happened at work. Since this day, I have had really bad anxiety. I was requested by Popular Rental company at the airport to be permanent Rover on Saturdays from 3 to midnight. I accepted the request because I enjoyed working with customers directly. Well, at about 10:40, there was a customer that I was checking in and he was explaining to me that his car was dirty on pickup. He told me that he found three Cheerios behind his seat and some in his arm rest. I told the customer I was very sorry it didn’t meet his standards and that I would note it for him. I finished checking him in and he asked if he could get something off his bill. I told him the manager had left for the day but he could voice…

All I do is work. Six or seven days a week for weeks at a time. There is no joy, no innocence, no happiness, no free time. Only stress and work. Endlessly. Forever. I sometimes think what if I just got in a horrible car accident on the highway and that was it. Would I even care? What am I living for? To wake up and work more?
