I went from a full wfh situation to this(refer the text below )all because my manager left the organisation and i was placed in a different account and that too without asking me first or even informing me. I was just transferred without any proper notification or even a heads up. The work has started taking up my personal time as well and I’m not paid overtime and this is after trying my best to enforce my boundaries, the only upside i see is that on my cv i get the name of a big car brand and they say I’ll get any job i want after this, which sounds like bs to me. This is word to word from what was in the mail( cant upload screenshots here apperntly) Dear all Request you to kindly help us in making sure following things WFH needs to be align at least…

I’m kinda over my job bartending/keys or “manager” at this restaurant. I’ve been there for 5 years and I’ve about had it with the owner and his lack of management. I’ve never gotten fired from a spot so idk what would allow me to collect unemployment. I have a seasonal side business that’s under the books so that’s why I’d like to wait before getting another job.

Here's the story of my work life. If you're someone who likes to read, give it a go. If not, no worries. I just need to get this out. So I currently work at this car wash. Big conveyor wash, full service, towels and spray bottles provided. Originally it was mom and pop owned by my friend's dad and they needed a general employee who knew stuff about computers to help them with the wash system, it was way more technologically involved than they thought. Wash went down one day and they just called me over to come see if I can figure it out. I sit down and read a bunch of manuals and got the gist of everything. Wash fixed, all good. I'm about to leave when I get offered a position there as a regular wash employee/sometimes IT guy. My personal availability schedule being absolutely abhorrent due…

It astounds me what people think is acceptable to leave behind, and that it's perfectly fine to trash a room with glitter, chewed gum, food, discarded tissues and general detritus. Have these people no pride, shame or self-worth? Kids are by far the worst and from that I deduct that their parents are as shitty as they are.

As I said in the title, I finally got a job 500+ CVs, a year of looking, and finally, I got a job and both even corporate hell, hahahaha. For the last year I've Been job hopping and looking for any place where I don't get treated like scum for being new or inexperienced that just made the search take so much longer but it finally happened. I got a job working as a private consultant, but the employer is also training me in so much. Actual guidance, real experience, and most importantly, for the first time in my life, I'm not waking up dreading my day, wishing I was dead instead of having to get up on the mornings. But what makes this belong in this sub is Why is it that something as necessary as employment on any level is so insanely hard to get I'm too inexperienced…

On the advice of friends I'm going to citizens advice to see if I can do something about this. I started a job back in April and within the first week I got the flu. I kept coming in because 1) I couldn't afford to stay home and 2) it was my first week! It took me shivering at my desk with a fever for me go home and a manager telling me they didn't want people in the office sick. Fast forward to three weeks ago, I wake up with pain in my neck so bad that I get sent to A&E and over the next few days I spent time in hospital. I desperately wanted to work because I loved what I was doing and I loved my coworkers, but I couldn't move, Icouldn't dress myself, and I was on heavy pain killers. After two weeks, against doctors…

This sub has just become “I just got back from Europe and USA sucks” or “I'm a European and I've heard that the USA sucks” The US isn't the worst place for workers rights, Europe and Canada are not much different. Get mad all you want and downvote me to hell; but you're comparing visiting country's versus living/working in one. I have friends in Europe and Canada and they struggle with the same shit us US citizens struggle with. If you want to talk about rising prices, ask and Canadian about their housing situation and how 90% of people cannot afford to own their own home. Or ask Europeans about their fuel bills the past couple years. Yea USA has a lot wrong with it and that's what we want to change here. BUT blasting these comparisons without true facts is absurd. I saw one post about how big cities…

For some context: this is my first job working part time at an ice cream place over the summer. When I received last week's paycheck I noticed it stated that I worked less hours than I thought I did, so I went into the time clock app to double check my hours, as people make mistakes and I believed my employer maybe accidentally made a mistake while adding. After making sure that I was right, I asked my boss about it. She then went on to tell me that she doesn't count minutes, only hours. Meaning the days when I was clocked in for 6 hours and 49 minutes for example would be rounded down to 6 hours. By doing this I effectively lost 4 or 5 hours of pay for the week. My boyfriend, his dad, my dad, and my other friend all told me that this is incredibly…
