I left my long term job because of my boss mis-treating me and verbally abusing me. One day I had enough and quit on the spot. Thankfully I got another job quickly, however … I have been here for 3 days and witnessed my boss belittling and berating my fellow coworkers, including a gentleman that told me he recently had a heart attack and was lucky to be alive The boss hasn’t done that to me yet but I can feel it coming / feel his temper, I was appalled at the treatment to my colleagues and thinking to leave, but I can’t help feeling like a failure and like my kindness is just stomped out by management attitude I’m trying to not be in toxic situations; I do need money though!! Does anyone else feel like dying inside

Has anyone else seen the new LinkedIn spot w/ the little girl in the dry cleaner? She looks like she's 8-years-old, and dancing in multiple career costumes. Is LinkedIn really pushing itself on pre-teens now? Made me sick to my stomach to watch.

I worked at a medical office for a year, I was the only employee other than the dr doing the job of medical records, office manager, billing and coding, receptionist and appointment setter, as well as cleaning crew (all at $15/hr, finally boosted me to $20/hr a month before I quit). I’d have to get there at 6:30am to clean (unpaid) clock in at 7am, never be allowed a lunch break (new patients at lunch) or really allowed a bathroom break since I’d leave the desk and phone would ring and I’d get yelled at for missing a call and being away from the desk, patients finally all out the door at 7:30pm (even though our hours ended at 6pm) and then I need to clock out but I also still need to do trash and wipe down the tables after clocking out before being allowed to lock up and…

My last boss literally told me that he gets bored when he is not at work. I was shocked. He was serious. I only work part time and I never have enough time for all my projects, creative stuff, hobbies, etc. If I didnt end up hating that guy and leaving Id feel bad for em. People really just got to work and go home and have nothing to do? I know its true but it still blows my mind. Im a barber by the way.

I found out today that wages have a large discrepancy between people at my work. We just had three new hires, and two of them were willing to tell me what they were making. The first guy was offered $16 per hour, and he negotiated an extra $1. The second guy was offered $18 immediately, but he states the listing on the job site was $19. I've been here over a year and a half, and I am getting $17.50. both of the new guys have zero experience, and I had several years of experience before coming into this job. I already don't like this job, so I am taking back my old job elsewhere, even though it pays less. Due to certain pieces of legislation, I am exempt from overtime at my current job, so working the same number of hours I will make the same amount anyway.
