We now get 1 hr of pto a week. Personally I save it for a month accumulate 4 hrs skip lunch on a Friday and go home 4.5 hrs early. A coworker of mine used his to sleep in 1 hr a week to each their own its personal time. Per company policy pto cannot be denied and I can use it at any time as its my time. Well now out plant manager who rarely if ever shows up called an emergency meeting wanting to know why some of use dip early on a Friday with little notice or just sleep in and use our pto. Excuse me what this is company policy and always has been. He threw a fit and brought up a case of how a worker from another shift had an emergency and didn't have any pto so he had to take a point. Bitch…

I might be beating a dead horse to itty bitty shitty little pieces right now on this sub …but why does it feel impossible to get a job right now? I feel like I’m being gaslighted and my dignity is non existent at this moment. I have 6 years of sales experience and I can’t get a job since being laid off a month ago. It’s disgusting how recruiters have treated me. Forget ego, but seriously saying to me “it’s a tough sell to the hiring managers, but maybe we can consider you for an entry level role” is batshit. I don’t know what to do anymore. I don’t feel human. I just want to work to sustain myself, save, and use that money to start my own business.

The owner has already taken 6 weeks off this year, so the jerk does understand the value of time away from work, just not for those who make that possible.

I can easily do a search online to see a company's gross revenue, but is there a reliable way to see the breakdown? I'm hoping to get a straightforward look at what a large company's net gains are to better illustrate how underpaid we all are.

So I am a recent college graduate, and am looking at mostly part time work for the summer before I go to a full time job based on my degree. I also have some part time work this summer related to my degree so I'm looking for something that is part time to supplement it as it's unfortunately not enough income to support my needs right now. But as I'm looking I gotta say, Holy shit do these jobs fucking suck. Places that just don't even reply when you've sent in your application. (I've been using Indeed) and the number of places that allow you to quickly apply through Indeed, but then send you an email with their real application where they want all the same information that you have on your profile. Let alone half the jobs on there already link to an outside site where you still have…

More of a vent than anything else. Since having a new addition to our family in December, my thoughts on commuting and what not have already changed. I was grateful for paid leave for 12 weeks but now the half hour ride, which usually takes longer due to dragging, feels like a waste of time. Today, I found out my boss volunteered me to stay late next month (wouldn’t be home till nearly 9:00) . Don’t think I would agree to that lol definitely not fair to anybody including wife and baby. I said I don’t think it would be possible due to my new circumstances. She seemed taken back but I don’t really care anymore!

I worked here when I was 17 years old turns out the manager takes advantage of underage workers and uses illegal business practices, like leaving kids to run her business while she goes home or off somewhere doing what ever she pleases, and made it hell for me to get paid after only after not even a week there! Businesses like this shouldn’t exist and stay open.
