Layoffs happen, I get it. What I'm pissed about is an ad posted on Indeed TWENTY DAYS AGO for my exact position with the exact responsibilities and the exact pay scale and perks and schedule. There has been a huge influx of new hires in the last two weeks, and then the bomb gets dropped on them that they will be laid off within the month. There are other positions available, but the schedule won't work with us for numerous reasons. Some of us are students and go to school in the day. Some of us have part time day jobs. Some of us have to look after children. We specifically sought out Mon-Thurs night shift for a reason. We can't just flip to day shift, or change our availability from Sun-Wed or Fri-Mon. It's not fair to these new people. I refuse to go “at least corporate gave us…

A buddy who works at a sandwich food chain told me about this. From my understanding, every hourly wage employee took a pay cut as the restaurant started asking for tips at checkout. What’s the solution here? I can’t help but feel like part of the problem as I usually tip everywhere I go that offers. But I didn’t assume that I was supplementing their actual wage. Now I feel like I shouldn’t tip so often, but that only hurts the worker. Was I the only naïve one who assumed tipping was only supplementing servers, and not every other food worker.

Worked as a minimum wage team member for four years, sick of being sold false promises and straight lies by management. Applied for a store manager job elsewhere out of spite and filled my CV with lies, got a phone interview, every other word was a lie. Fast forward two days and I’ve got an interview with the stores regional manager. The wages are more than double mine, even if I can get the job and blag my way through a few months before they realise I have no clue I’ll consider that a success, wish me luck.

This is like my first time posting in this sub so lmk if I’m doing anything wrong, but I’m just so frustrated. So this is probably gonna be a long post. I just clocked out early from my shift (this is the first time I have ever done that) and it’s because of this one shift manager. I’m 19 and still trying to navigate the professional world while navigating through my emotions. I work at this fast food place and tonight we had the lobby closed. I saw a couple of guys in the foyer and asked if they had a food delivery order since I didn’t see any mobile orders. They tell me that the app wasn’t working for them and I hesitated, but I thought it would be fine just this one time to let them in and have them order. As soon as I do, the shift…

Get rich quick Guru here. Making money is really easy as opposing to you think. Buy a kg of potato from my store and put it in the ground and after a while you will have 10 kgs of potato. Put those 10 kgs of potato back in the ground and you have 100. Put that back again and you have 100. Now just repeat it four times and you have a million kgs of potato. Now just sell them $1 per kg. Boom! You have a million dollars! By the way gimme some money and I will teach you more easy techniques. Bye.
