I work with a team that does ticket based data work and we generally need to make regular schedule changes in order to handle the directional shifts of our work. This week our team decided that the stakeholders can do the planning themselves. If the stakeholder are unhappy with the order of our work and the way we structure it for everyone then they can all meet to negotiate the 40+ projects we are supporting. Once they determine the priority of each project respectively we will adjust plan but not until. ~20 people prioritizing projects across multiple departments should be fun.. for them… I assume we are process as normal for a while. I’m look forward to seeing who blinks first.

This is mostly a rant, and I know most people who post have it way worse. I just need to get it off my chest. A couple of years ago was the first chance that a job opened up at my plant that I was eligible for. I had a shot to get out of operations. I didn't get it, but I was a “really close second”. I've come to hate that term. About a year later, they created a new job. It was suppose to be like a step between operations and supervision. I also didn't get this one, and it instead went to someone who made it very clear that they did not ever want to be a supervisor because of the lack of overtime. Soon after, a supervisor position that I actually had the experience equivalent of opened up. My superintendent said he only wanted internal candidates.…

Hi guys, Sorry for the rant, and I’m not sure if I’m supposed to post this here, but today really sucked. I got fired today on the spot, in front of my coworker an hour before I was supposed to clock out. She just told me to give her the office keys and to not come back tomorrow. No warning, no explanation, just fired on the spot and I’m really embarrassed, hurt, and angry. I just started this new job at a law firm in CT. I started in April and I was hired as an office assistant. My duties were to file, scan, draft documents, answer phones and emails, and basically do clerical work. But the attorney I worked for was really hard to deal with. The attorney and my coworkers micromanaged everything I did. Nothing was ever good enough for the attorney, and she would be very rude…

Long story short, I'm on a 20 hour a week contract and I get 80 hour of holiday a year. My shifts sometimes get changed because I'm basically the person they slot in where they need me however for the last six months my pattern has been pretty rigid; I do 4 hours Thursday/Friday and 6 hours Saturday/Sunday. I'm going to a music festival from the 28th to the 31st of this month (which is a Friday through to Monday) and so at the end of last month I booked some holidays. Because my shifts have been pretty rigid naturally I only booked off the days that I would work which is the Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I didn't book the Thursday because I honestly wouldn't mind working it and I didn't book the Monday because I haven't worked on a Monday in months anyway. I just checked my shift…

EEOC just received the position statement from my employer. “Before we provide the Position Statement and attachments to you, the EEOC investigator reviews the documents to ensure they do not contain protected and/or confidential information. We ask you to be patient as we receive many requests for Position Statements and it may take several weeks to review and release the Position Statement and attachments related to your charge” Can it really take “several weeks”to review and release? Who typically write the position statement? HR director or the company lawyer? Is it true most position statements use very vague and broad terms (and very short)?

My fiance has worked for a franchisee of one of the nations largest hair salon chains for over ten years. DL still remains employed by hair salon corporate as far as I know. After working there for so long and having a twenty something man appointed as her manager, despite wanting the position for a long time, and then attempting to quit a few months ago, and being told that, in there words “she could not quit”, the DL told the store manager that she wears her clothes too tight, and needs to do her hair and makeup. This is the same place where the pay is 11/hr and tips are taken out of hourly pay over a certain threshold. How is she supposed to afford a whole new set of clothes, make up, and supplies for her hair? Fiance is overweight, but has worn the same style for YEARS.…
