I'm going to encourage applicants to stop the abuse Every single applicant needs to ask, “How does your view applicants? Do they understand why people work? What makes your company stand out in wages, benefits and culture?” Quit acting like assholes

I'm 20f, and i hate my job. I started working at O'Reilly last Tuesday. I don't know the most about cars and car parts, but i know your basics. The system is crappy, and i'm struggling to learn the floor plan of the store. Between the behind the counter, the actual floor and the “warehouse” in the back, there is SO much going on. I have already cried, on my second day. i've been left alone during a “rush” and was completely lost. I've been mocked by old men, treated like an object because i'm a decent looking woman working at an auto parts store. I need the money though, and have already scheduled two interviews for places i belong (a boutique and a pet store.) I was told this job was “easy” by everyone i talked to, but this is not easy for me. I was actually just messaged…

A couple of weeks ago I asked for this coming Friday and next Monday off as this weekend is an anime convention I plan on attending. I reminded OM today because I noticed that she marked herself off next Monday as it's also the day after the superbowl. She claims I didn't put it in writing so she planned her weekend accordingly. There's not really a lot I can do because I technically didn't put it in writing, I just said “hey, I'd like to have x days off for this thing” and she said okay. I'm still taking a half day Friday, I don't care what she says. Whether or not I come in on Monday is debatable. It's cool that our “home team” is going to the Superbowl, but I honestly don't care about sports.

I just started a job at a bank and they told me I have to have all my vacation time submitted by last week and they want all 2 weeks to be in a row, I don't make enough to just go on vacation for 2 weeks yeah I'll get paid but I don't have the funds to just go somewhere and I don't want to sit at home for 2 weeks. I would much rather use my time as I go for things that come up. Do I legally have to submit all 2 weeks at once? Or can I fight this somehow? I also don't have access to vacation time until 90 days. Edit after talking to boss I talk to my boss who isn't sure on this but wanted to get everyone's thoughts. So I'm going to try and just schedule the 2 weeks at the end…

I don’t like conflict/am a bit of a “people pleaser”and had a mental breakdown in December because of my workload. I’m a full time grad student and work over full time hours plus am a Reservist. I have decided to quit my civilian job today, but I’m so scared to do it because I know my manager is going to guilt trip me so hard. Any tips for quitting when your boss thinks you’re “friends? can I just send an email or do I have to call (we’re still remote)? Eta: we’re not friends. She either thinks we are or acts like we are (likely to manipulate me). Edit 2: thanks guys! I did it. I’m a free woman now! She didn’t freak out at all like I expected. This is going to help me so much ️️️
