Hey all, For clarification in this post we will call the previous company “Company A”, the second company “company b” and merged “Company C”. Business is located in Ontario and Unionized. Company A & Company B recently merged to form Company C. Honestly, it’s been more of a take over of Company B coming in and telling all employees of Company A this is the way it is. The business is a utility (call centre based) and right now we’re in the position where we can of disconnect services for customers who have not paid. Previously, Company A has had a lot of issues with irate customers, people threatening to come to the work place and “find” an employee as well as one person threatening to come to the work place and shooting up the office. There has also been multiple lockdowns on site at our former locations. Management from…

(Rant) I already hate working in a sad warehouse with no windows or joy…but now your taking my little extra $2 because you didn’t train any or your employees but expect perfection????? I want to cry. (Thanks for reading my rant)

Father of GF is a teacher. He has a big House + big property + three Kids – wife never worked + 2 Cars. Nowadays a teacher couple working can perhaps afford an appartment – one car and a cat. There are Millions of these stories where people 30 or 40 or 50 years ago managed to get much more for much less education and work. We have to be more educated – work longer and harder – work more – fight against more competition – to get 1/3 of the previous generations. Thats a fact and I am tired that I have it “easier” because I have cheap electronics and can make a cheap vaccation.

I gave them two weeks notice that I wanted to take a day off (that’s this coming Sunday) I have plans but to be fair it’s flexible enough that I can cancel them. Today they texted that my time off was denied but “they’ll keep looking for coverage” yeah right. So, friends…my gut instinct is text back and inform them that they’ll have to, because I will not be there Sunday (on principle) and then I can call out sick on Saturday night because that supervisor is really nice and will understand, however then I’m definitely leaving her short staffed for Sunday and I don’t want to do that because like I said, she’s really nice. There’s also the chance that management will chase me down to bitch at me that “I can’t do that” because they try to make EVERYTHING a problem. Unless they want time off, or to…

I work at a dance studio in North MS, and live In Tennessee about 35 min away.I am salaried and normally make around 400$ a week which is now 350 she is saying this is because the students aren’t here paying tuition so we have less money and she claims she spent a bunch on the recital and we are broke now, she did not give any notice, she just cut our pay. It is really difficult on me because of the gas.We are over all working fewer hours during the summer, however she is making me run theses dance camps and I am driving here an extra day with less money when I was barely making enough to get by. The camps are 8 hours and I am the only teacher required to be at work doing it, my boss claims she is working from home, but is probably…

When over 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, the privilege of some people astonishes me. Their suggestions: 1. Work harder. 2. Move. Gee, thanks, why hadn’t I thought of that? /s
