Hey guys. Sorry in advance about this post,it might be long, I am on my phone typing quickly and more focused on getting out my thoughts versus grammer. Today, I got fired from my job. For context, I was the kennel manager at a small kennel. We have been short staffed for months and between staff coming and going, coworkers that missed time with covid, the holiday rush before that, my kennel manager title basically became me being the guy that has to pick up all the slack, gets little time off, and tries to keep things moving efficiently and positive vibes while I am there. (I should have quit months ago tbh). I take all of the shit! Well, side story. Back in early November I still had a co-kennel manager. She was fine to work with, I didnt really have any problems with her, until one day. This…

I can NOT stand when a quality assurance/management person will send out a vague company wide email about some people doing X wrong. I work in healthcare and certain things need to be updated every 3 months not 90 days but our program tracks 90 days so February messes it all up. Whatever not a big deal. SO in February every site supervisor goes in and updates the due date to be 3 months. But don't send a VAGUE email saying “some” people have it wrong. IF I have it wrong TELL me or TELL the person who has it wrong. Obviously every site supervisor thinks they did it correctly or they wouldn't leave the dates wrong. So if they aren't just TELL people who has it wrong SPECIFICALLY. Especially when it will affect our billing. Like how are you managing quality when you do this

New to this sorry if it’s all over the place. So my manager for the past week or so has been ordering our assistant manager to do court paper work for him. She has a past in working in law thus the interest in her. Our job is very hands on and every day (including her days off) they have sat in this office doing paper work and taking smoke breaks and not doing anything work related at all. I work at Goodwill as one of the underlings of them (collecting donations and pricing wares) and have constantly been left alone to work and have even had breaks interruptions to do the work they refuse to do. I have attempted to report a past assistant manager (for different reasons) and after jumping through all the hoops was rewarded with nothing but hardship and ME being removed from the store to…

Hey y'all I read the article below. It's a great long read but in case it's too long (it is long!) I summarized it for all of us! TL;DR: Since 2017, private-equity backed firms like Greystar have done rapid takeovers of apt. buildings all over the US. Private equity takeovers of housing has led to soaring rents (sometimes +25% in a year), no hot water sometimes, the PE firms not paying for trash pickup (leaving scattered trash everywhere) and reducing security guard patrols. Of 35 biggest multifamily apt building owners, now almost HALF of the owners are private equity. These PE firms flip these buildings, then unload them for profit. These PE-led apt. housing funds try to return 20% compared 4% for regular real investment trusts. Greystar CEO Bob Faith has bragged about these returns. Freddie Mac has enabled these firms, accounting for 85% of biggest apt. bldg. purchases. After…

So I’ve been working for my company for about a year now and have been told all the bits of how phenomenal I am. When I was hired with my background as management the GM at the time said with my qualifications they would offer me 15$ an hour. I recently found out in passing that a new hire was hired at 17$ for their experience. My question is how should I bring this up with my captain about my pay being lower compared to a new hire. Or if I should even bring it up at all. I’ve read a lot of posts on others having the same issues and ending up leaving their job because of it.
