Came to work one day with a note on my desk from a coworker asking for money for their newborn coming soon. The thing is, I barely talk to them except for work related tasks. I decided I did not want to contribute, but then my boss asked everyone if we want to help give money. One by one, they all said yes, and that left me. So socially speaking it would look bad on me to not contribute, and reluctantly I said yes. Then my boss decides she wants to go all in on one gift, and everyone says yes. By principal this angers me. Not everyone gets paid the same wage, so why would someone who gets paid less have to contribute the same amount? This is just a rant I guess, but my boss makes a lot more than me and yet I have to pay the…

Hi. I wasn't sure where to post this, so mods, please remove if not suited for this sub. My employer sent out new company credit cards to employees (including me) for processing day-to-day payments in relation to our work. Our previous cards used the corporate billing address, but the new ones are linked to each employee's home address. Meaning I am required to provide my personal address anytime I make a card payment on behalf of the company (typically online or over the phone in my line of work). Is this standard? It seems off to me that my home address is being used for billing. Again, I'm not paying any personal expenses, only work-related transactions. Are there any circumstances where this could come back to bite me? Like if the company goes under or doesn't pay their debts? (Just thinking out loud here, I don't think that will happen).…

So my annual review came up this month. I am an over achiever and am paid fairly well (Obviously they could afford to pay me more.) I work for a big name company in HVAC and restaurant ventilation systems. My supervisor gave me a 47/50. 10 questions, each worth 5 points. The way it works is, your supervisor does your review. Then they turn it into the GM. The GM then changes whatever he wants. The higher score your supervisor gives you; the more the GM over analyzes it into the ground. The GM gave it back with white out all over it and changed it to a 39. I refused to sign the “I have read this and acknowledge it has no regards on whether or not I agree with the above.” I am in Florida and I know we have -2 workers rights. The points do dictate your…

So this morning I got a text from my Boss (I was on my break btw ) saying she's “putting the schedule together”(which makes absolutely NO sense since the people that work for this company have a set schedule that NEVER changes..) and asked if I'd like to work on my day off tomorrow. I politely declined, telling her about appointments I had already made for tomorrow. She replied “okay just let me know if you ever want overtime!” I replied “okay.” NOT TWO MINUTES LATER, another text from her “looking ahead to the next holiday you're working, which is July 4th, would you like to come in on insert day off for some extra money? I AGAIN REPLIED NO THANK YOU, BUSY THAT WEEKEND.. I thought that might get her to take the hint. HUGE surprise; it didn't. I walked in from my break 15 minutes later, ran into…

4 months into my 6 month probation I got a new manager who instantly seemed like she didn't like me. 4 weeks later (today) she sits me down and says that she's terminating my position at the company early, that there was no point in trying to improve or give warning because I just wasn't a good fit for her team. I asked for details and she could say nothing specific, her comments were vague and things that I knew related to the rest of the team too. The entire time she was smirking. She took my work phone and laptop out of my hands, and escorted me out of the building like I was a threat. When I asked if I was allowed to say goodbye to the team, hand over my notes, she said “no, you can contact them on your own time”. I don't mind losing this…
