I work as a floral clerk for a mid size grocery chain (rhymes with barris beeber), and the common practice to let the employees know of a positive covid case is a “quiz” in our employee dashboards basically saying “someone in the store tested positive, heres ways to stay safe, i acknowledge ive been informed”. then you sign it. Thursday I came in and my supervisor (its literally just me and her) was not in, and the AGM informed me she would be out until after valentines day. I'm obviously pretty shocked and ask if she's okay, he says “yes shes doing okay, she just can't come in until after valentines.” Now I'm familiar with the whole legality of “can't say specific person has covid”, so i ask “Is she out for specifically 5 days?” He replies yes, and I ask if they are waiting for a “result” and he…

I’ve worked at my company for a few months now since finishing up college. I have always been 15 minutes early to the jobsite, never messed anything up, worked as hard as possible, and as of today I have worked 12 days in a row for this particular superintendent. I’m really giving it my all for this guy working 12 hour days without giving him a hassle, but I’m pretty sure he doesn’t even know my name. I was hired with the understanding that this would be a “foot in the door” type situation with my industry and I would be welcome to move on amicably as soon as a better job came up. Well today I got off early to interview for said better job, and I had the following interaction with my superintendent as I was signing out with him… Superintendent A: “So I’ll see you tomorrow or…

My temp agency told me the client wanted me to sign an NDA, which is fine and normal, but a non-compete is inappropriate and ridiculous! It doesn’t even pay all that well. EDIT: edited for clarity.

I see a lot of posts about quitting via no show or text with little or no notice. Sure, I’ve been there and personally only reserved that treatment for true bosses from hell or situations where more extreme. However, if its just a matter of moving onto a better opportunity, higher pay, or maybe you hate the job but nobody outright WRONGED you. Maybe the job is just too stressful. Man those final 10 days after you give notice are like the last week of high school for seniors. Fucking glorious. Back to back zoom meetings, yeah declined. Some report I’m responsible for pulling, yeah can you pull that I dont have access. No worries, no stress the easiest money since orientation. Plus, if you’ve made any friends you’ll be getting lots of well wishes and good vibes. If you hate everyone there you get the pleasure of having the…

Hi everybody. I’ve been jobless since July and it’s been really really difficult on my mental health. I wanted to settle so many times and just take the first job I got but everything was so underpaid that I knew I would be even more mad at myself putting myself in a shit circumstance again. You all have inspired me to not give up and work on finding a job with the pay grade that I DESERVE for the qualification I have. I got so much confidence from this forums suggestions on what to ask a straight to my interviewers face which left them shocked but impressed.(why should I work for you). They appreciated me being upfront of what I expected out of my job. I am now making 20k more starting, with full benefits and a sign on bonus. This job prioritizes mental health for their employees which was…
