I’ve been a cashier for about 4 years now and I can honestly say that I do not see people the same way I used to. I’m a very kind person and I’ve never had conflict with anyone. So to be treated so poorly for no reason by complete strangers was really hard for me. Customers treat you like you are not a person. I’ve had people yell in my face, threaten to hit me, get close to me like they are going to physically assault me, and just be plain evil for simply doing my job. I always end up crying after these situations because I am very sensitive. I don’t ever want to work in a customer service job again. I have so many awful stories from being a cashier, and one thing I can say is that working during the pandemic was one of the worst experiences…

I recently had a manager appointed to me, which increased the reporting structure. Without me and my colleagues, he is useless. We don’t need him but he needs us. Increasingly, he tries to break us down and blames his own shortcomings on us. I won’t take the bait and it kills him. What I’ve realized is that he uses questioning to put us on the defensive rather than actively trying to solve an issue. He’s looking for blame, not a solution. Middle management are leaches.

As a side hustle i take these catering jobs at different hotels. The company i work for assigns me to the shifts so i have no contact with the hotel before my shift. Today i walk in to this 5 stars hotel, i get in uniform and work for 30minutes and then the briefing is gonna start about the job today. I sit on the table waiting for them to start and i cracked my fingers only to find a very fast hit on my arm from one of the managers sitting next to me. I look at her and say WTF! without even looking at me she says oh you shouldn't crach your fingers i get annoyed and that's my reflex. I got up, took the ridiculous tie off and left home.

I work for a store that every once in a while gets jordan restocks. I wait in line like everyone else does and buy a pair. I then will resell them or trade them online. The other day I was talking to a coworker about it and he then told upper management. The GM came up to me and said that I am now on probation and am not eligible for a raise and if I do it again I’m fired. No where in our company guidelines does it say I can’t do this. I’m not putting stuff on hold, I camp out for them like everyone else. Please let me know if this is legal and what I should do

I worked for an American branch of a Japanese company up until a few days ago. I worked full-time for $17/hr in Southern California, where gas is now $5+ a gallon and the housing market has skyrocketed in the past few months. The same 1b plan I live in for new tenants is over $2500 per month and houses are selling for a over a million. I'm lucky that I'm able to live with my parent or else I would need 4+ roommates to survive here with the rising COL. My old job refused any sort of remote work and my responsibilities were increasing significantly and my wage was not reflecting that. I literally could not afford to live closer to work since I worked in one of the most desirable cities to live in in the entire country. It's so expensive! I found a new job that pays enough…
