My manager put up a giant coloring page to help with morale. We’re all supposed to help color it. I colored one part. Anyone have ideas for the next area?

Need some personal Opinion, 6 hours till my first shift and I’m not feeling this job

Again it's regarding my first post “Event associate”. I've already burned the bridge on my previous warehousing job by doing a no-call no-show, so my backup is gone, and I'm stuck with a 50+ mile drive every day to go to the “Event.” Now I was planning to stick with this shit for 2 weeks, get my pay then bounce, but just thinking of the damage this is going to do to my car his worrying, to say the least. I skimmed out yesterday after making a well-crafted excuse, should I just call this a flop, as I got shafted and bamboozled this badly, take my loss, and keep on looking for a new job. As I can't bloody deal with this type of bait and switch. I will just say, it should be illegal for indeed or other Jobsite to advertise false pay. $15-$25 per hour and they reassure…

I don’t think they could’ve legally fired the manager, right? If they knew they were trying to unionize

I’m gonna turn in my two weeks notice.

I’m on my current position for half a year. When starting my job I had 9 days of ‘training’ because the last person left there also left the team. Should’ve been a red flag. I started anyway cause it’s a management position and my first job after college. One month in another worker joins the team. Same month my boss gets terribly sick. Still tries to manage anything from home despite being on the edge of surviving – does not help to provide a stand-in whatsoever. Since then me and the other newbie keep the system going. All the weight is on my shoulders and I can’t handle it anymore. Every month I asked for support but nothing happened. Last week I told CEO that I’m exhausted and think about quitting. Suddenly another position in the team will be advertised. But I physically can’t anymore. I’m feel like a nervous…

“Revised paycheck”

Just gonna keep it short and sweet, Got my paycheck from work on Thursday, opened it up and Kim about 32 hours short and .25 cents on my hourly. I bring it up to management .2 seconds after reviewing. They now have to review cameras to revise the check.. mind you since I knew they were having issues with my login(didn’t have code memorized when I started so I had managers clock me in.) I asked to go over the hours before the check was cut so I didn’t have any issues I was told “atm I’m busy but I can get you when we died down… This is not the only mistake. The onboarding process is a crucial part of employment and they sucked at it. Any advice? What are your thoughts on needing to review footage to revise a check to reflect your schedule…?

No Breaks

I was 4 hours into a shift at my new job when I asked how breaks work. The staff looked at me confused and started describing brake pads. I told them im a smoker and I need at least two 5 minute breaks every 8 hour shift. Theyre telling me im dreaming in fantasy land……

My manager told me I was lucky for making $16 an hour

I 17(f) work full-time as a line cook, six days a week. I requested my one day off a week to be Saturday, I was denied and given a Tuesday instead. I am literally 17 and spend all of my time working, nothing about that is lucky. I am not lucky to be making $16 an hour, that’s the bare minimum I should be making working this many hours at a company that can barely staff a kitchen. My manager is in his 40s and comparing the wage he made at blockbuster working part-time in high school to what I am paid. Probably not that much of a difference with inflation anyways. He was telling me how him and his wife thought it was so cool I am making that much money an hour at my age. Did he expect me to thank him? I don’t understand why they think…

Employer demands an in depth explanation of what I’ll be doing on my day off to determine if it’s worth it.

So I told him I wouldn't be in a certain day the next week, which was following protocol because the requirement is you have to inform him days in advance so he can plan accordingly. But this time he was asking me to say exactly what I'd be doing. Just told him it was just my own personal stuff. But no, what is it? Because it shouldn't be I need a day off, or I'm going to visit friends or going to a baby shower(his examples). I don't see how it matters where I'll be, all that matters is I wouldn't be in that day. And what's wrong if it was because I had an important function with friends or family? Why should he determine its 'worth'?
