I haven’t had a review with my current employer in over 3 years. It comes up every year and they’re “serious” about it this time. I’m not going to hold my breath until my manage schedules it. Anyway in the event it does happen, I’m going to tell her that I’ve met my goal for 2022 already by getting BMFS tickets at Red Rocks in May. I’ll also mention I don’t have any other goals identified at this time because every job is a dead end job including hers and all the way up to the CEO. Noone is getting out of this life alive so why should I do anything above then bare minimum? I’ll continue with taking paid lunches and staying utilized, just keep approving those timesheets.

It is a blizzard out there. It's still dark, it's foggy, there's heavy snowfall with extremely strong winds, it rained last night and now it's frozen making it insanely icey. I live in the country meaning it's half an hour to work in good conditions. The government has released a “no travel advised” statement in our area. Schools are delayed or canceled. I called in to work. We are far from essential, especially for just one day. You have to be crazy to try to shop right now. My boss of course is upset over the phone. My shift was only four hours so I say I just won't come in. By the time it's light out and possibly good enough to drive (which may not even happen) I would only get there for an hour or two. I'm not crashing my car for 24 bucks. It's not even worth…

Been here for 2.5 years and I have seniority as well as best sales performance in my market. The nature of the job involves a lot of driving. We will drive up to 2 hours away. I’ve seen a lot of crazy accidents and lost count of how many deer I’ve almost hit. During the heavy snow and ice we got in the Midwest last week they tried to make us work and still attempt the drive. We do not have direct management in our city we’re technically remote hires. That was the last straw for me. I stood up for myself and argued against the idea that upper management that doesn’t live in my area can decide if roads are safe to drive on. Made my point and we closed down for 3 days. I’m honestly ready to quit I already have backup plan. The audacity and principle of…

I had a job as a chef in a busy resteraunt having never done this kind of work before, I'd work very hard and always go the extra mile for everybody. I was only contracted to work 40 hours a week but ended up being pressured to work 50 hours minimum, I started having panic attacks in the middle of service and developed insomnia. I would work from 10am to sometimes 12-12.30am because they expected us to stay and clean after work. They had promised me at least £10.00 an hour plus tips, they were paying me £8.90, when I confronted them over it they said it was £8.90 but the tips made up for it, which btw was untrue as you only got paid about 13 hours worth of the pay you should have been getting by that explanation. We had a verbally abusive manager who would talk trash…
