(a bit of a personal rant) I'm not sure if this is the right place to post because I love working, I'm the kind of person that loves doing little tasks and walking away with that satisfaction that I've completed my job and did it well. I just hate how everything is. Just how much I have to fight for hours at my current job because scheduling is sO fucked up. I also keep making the mistake of doing extra tasks, it's always blowed up in my face 🙁 My boss also handed everyone a notice saying that they'll be cutting hours due to “budget cuts” unless anyone chooses to “displace” another employee that's lower in seniority. Which is me. Luckily no one voted me off the island, but someone did take it to the union because it seemed so weird, all the dates on it were June when it…

I was at work, when my coworker/ superior on site physically and verbally assaulted me.(threatened to make me shut up while approaching me and putting his chest against mine. Then proceeded to fabricate a story about me brandishing a knife during the altercation to have me trespassed from the worksite. I have a witness to the whole thing that made a statement which describes how I was assaulted and also didn't brandish a knife. I made my supervisors aware of the situation as well as HR know. I got news today, I'm going to be terminated for “disrespecting a superior” while I'm still in my first 90 days (probational period). I'll be making a police report about this as well. Do I have a case for wrongful termination? The only true witness to the whole thing is a fellow coworker, as well as the person who assaulted me has a…

I get paid peanuts at my job, but nonetheless worked my ass off this past year. I started three weeks too late to get a cost of living increase whereas my coworkers did. Sucked. By the time appraisals came another year later, I was only offered a 6% raise, less than inflation. A few months before, I talked to my boss about benefits and a raise due to not having the same benefits as my coworkers (e.g. hourly when everyone else is salaried). It was still pending she says during our regular meeting. So a week after receiving my subpar increase, I point blank told my boss I'm interviewing and am considering other employer who will pay me a fair compensation. I had negotiation leverage because my role is critical to our group. If I leave, it would seriously suck for her. She panicked and literally within the week approved…

I had an interview this afternoon for a company that is literally upstairs from my current company. I was able to stealthily escape my office downstairs, change into a suit in the bathroom, complete my interview, do well in said interview, and come back to my current desk as if nothing happened. All while on the clock! The company upstairs seems a lot better. Here’s to hoping I get the new position!
