We pretended to do work until about half 11 our managers been moaning about us leaving early completely ignoring all the other nights we're in til 3 in the morning

Today is a holiday in my province. We work at multiple job sites with multiple supervisors. The supervisors of one of the sites I am at later in the week called me today and did not leave a message. This irked me a little as I am not at the job site in question until the end of the week. If it was for tomorrow, different story. I felt the person didn’t need to call me. Everything can get worked out tomorrow. I said this felt like time theft even if unintentional and that I wasn’t calling back until tomorrow. My. co-worker thinks I should be courteous and call back. What say you all?

We were left severely understaffed and absolutely slammed. Everyone and their mothers calling out sick, one of my managers is on medical leave until further notice, and another girl worked out her two week notice leaving our third receptionist covering her shift. It was just me and another woman dealing with reception and the never ending phone calls. The other departments kept fucking around leaving us running like chickens with our heads cut off doing their jobs as well. I was so stressed I could have screamed. When I got home I was so drained mentally and emotionally, I felt numb. For 10.45 an hour and what I constantly deal with. No one deserves this shit. I was on the fence about leaving before but now? Fuck this. I'll keep this job until I find something else. Grossly underpaid, understaffed, and unappreciated. It's not worth it. My depression is skyrocketing…

I currently work at a entry level fashion job, it’s only for the experience and everyone in my department is just there to gain experience and move on. Our boss knows this and even said herself this is just a learning experience to get your foot in the door. My boss has been working at this company for 10+ years and this lady takes her trauma out on us! “When I first started I worked till 11pm” “I had to come in during COVID and do this job by myself” “you don’t know hard I worked when I first started” I don’t get why any of that is relevant to me and my co-workers? Also, working till 11pm sounds like your being overworked as normal office hours at my company are until 5-6pm. I don’t know why people who have been working at companies for so many years brag about…

I’ve been in my current role for only 2 months and I’m switching bc they bait and switched the position on me, and I don’t like it. I was in my interview today and one of the interviewers began probing me with questions regarding my personal social media pages. She asked me why I had not updated my current role on my LinkedIn profile yet. I mentioned to her that I had not had the chance to update the platform yet, and had only been in my new role for two months. The interviewers decided to probe into my personal business even further. In the beginning of the interview, I mentioned the reasons I left each company to the next, noting various items such as changing interests and opportunities being presented to me that I was excited to be a part of. The interviewers were not satisfied with those answers,…
