For the past 4 months, I've been advocating for a promotion and raise at work. I'm a data analyst and I've been outperforming in just about every area of my job, including leading projects, supervising staff, and overall outperforming the paygrade they brought me in at. While my manager has agreed with me on multiple occasions that “they got a good deal on me”, she's been dragging her feet on getting me the recognition I deserve. There may be a variety of factors as to why, but one that sticks out is her own insecurity over rustling feathers with the higher ups. I have also caught her in lies about going to our VP to advocate on my behalf and stealing credit for my work. In my most recent mid-year review, I noticed she started nitpicking incredibly odd details about my performance. In one instance, she claimed that I was…

I'm entitled to hours scheduled and because of a mistake I was still scheduled in the software after a text that I wasn't needed because of delays for something else. I was asked if I could come in tomorrow and I tried to tell them I was informed I'm entitled to hours scheduled and after I said this the offer to work tomorrow was pulled and it feels like it was in retaliation. I hate how managers have such fragile egos.

So back in late June my job at the FAA issued a stop work order bc summertime is slow and people don’t want to return to the office, which is 3 months to determine if my contract will continue or if I will have work or not. No severance pay no backpay. September 28th is coming up and I think at the end of the month I will learn if I have my job or not. If you offered to go back, would you do it? The pay was pretty good to live off of

Posting on behalf of someone else. Hybrid employee called into a last minute in office meeting today. They usually work remotely. Likely will be a termination meeting. Employer has refused to pay them for the last few weeks. Do they legally have to go into the office if their wages are still withheld? Is the employer allowed to hold their wages hostage until they come into the office?

I’m so stressed out living off my credit cards and I can not for the life of me get anyone to call me even for an interview. I’m starting to get panic attacks because I’m nearing 15000 in debt. Wtf is going on with this world. Think I need to either disappear or lose everything.

I do very well at my job. I always get compliments and praise. My boss thinks this means I should “move up” in the company to a more leadership style position. I don’t want it. I don’t want more responsibility. I want to continue to be great at what I do and clock out of work when it is time. My balance of work and family is very important and I don’t want to compromise that. Of course, if I had the financial means, I wouldn’t work at all or at least take a good sabbatical. I hate the idea that the if you are good or even great at your job then you must do more, have more responsibility, and that you should move into management. I get that most people want to climb the corporate ladder, but I do not have that desire nor hustle. Just needed to…

I work in auto claims, and it’s really busy right now. On top of that, I’m also planning a wedding. Needless to say, it’s been a stressful time for me. I could usually handle all that, but on top of that, every phone call I make is a fight, a manager escalation, or people are just plain rude to me for no reason. I have the highest customer service metric in my unit, so I know it’s not me, but why the hell do people think it’s ok to treat me like a doormat just cause I’m a disembodied voice over the phone? I literally spent the last 10 minutes sobbing after yet another call I got where the customer was rude and insulting my intelligence for absolutely no reason. Management is doing absolutely nothing to help relieve the case load or back me up on these calls. Is there…

Hey there, I'm a 21 year old male, who lives in apartment with my boyfriend. We have been here for a year, and a half now. At first things were great, we both have amazing jobs, and make good money. Until last year my boyfriend quit his job. It was worth it though since that job was super toxic, and the owners of the place didn't really like men. It was an all female worker restaurant, and he was the only male that worked there. Anyways, he worked at Victoria's secret for a couple of months but got laid off since he was working seasonal. After that it was the beginning of 2023, which was super hard to find a job then. We weren't in any rush since he had a lot of money saved up from when he was working at his previous job. He kept looking, and looking…

So to start off, my former manager at Grain and Berry Carrollwood location in Tampa Florida makes angry rants almost every day over Band while doing next to nothing diddling around on her computer till her shift ends. -she refuses to adjust clock in times when people forget to clock in, which is actually illegal. Know your rights. -she verbally abuses her shift leads behind their backs. -when we had an employee who is a minor who sexually harassed our male employees, she dragged her feet for 3 weeks before laying her off instead of firing her ass The list goes on. I couldn't take this shit anymore.
