I work for a nonprofit in Illinois and I learned today that our hours for the next two weeks have been cancelled. is it legal to do this on such short notice? I depend on this money! is there a way to be compensated. I am obviously starting to look for other jobs starting right now.

I just need to rant anonymously. So, long story short, I clearly work at a toxic company. It’s a startup and my CEO is a raging narcissist. When he didn’t take Covid seriously I was ready to leave, but couldn’t afford to. Then I got a promotion with a large pay increase – so I took some time to learn the new job duties so I could have it on my resume. Early this yearly, I started applying for other jobs. Nothing too aggressive, just if a position or company intrigued me, I’d apply. At the same time, I was getting head hunted. All the while, I’m severely under paid doing the work of three people at my current job. I told one of the executives who knows I’m underpaid and overworked that I’d had some recruiters reach out to me. He’s had the same thing happen, and I can…

My colleague who is notorious for having a short fuse had someone calling for her today which I picked up the call for. They said who they were after and I say to my colleague that it's so and so calling for you. The client is still on the phone. I must admit I didn't put them on hold like I normally would. My notoriously hot tempered colleague then proceeded to say the following: “oh this fucking bitch again!” then proceeds to ok the call to be put through. I put the call through as normal and go back to what I was doing. My colleague gets off the phone and immediately yells “my name, the call wasn't on hold!”. I put two and two together and realised the client must have heard what my colleague said. My higher up then grills me asking why I didn't put the client…

It’s not a hard job but it’s a complicated and convoluted job, it’s like I’m putting out large fires while small fires pop up every 5-10 minutes, which make it difficult to focus on the large fires. I’m managing schedules, inventory, new patients, current patients, lost patients, plan of cares, insurance etc. the clinic would not function without me. And I can make more money working at In n Out. On top of that half of my income from this job goes to rent. America is fucked man.

I'm a Medicaid waiver Supports Planner. I help people get waivers to get medical services and supplies while staying in the community. I have two Bachelor's degrees in Psychology and Behavioral Healthcare. I've worked social services for 10 years. I've been with this company for 3.5 years, and while it's brutal, it's WFH and I LOVE my team and manager. In the past 6 months, I've moved into an apartment by myself, had to get tires changed and also just dealing with current events. I am diagnosed with bipolar 2, and my anxiety has been affecting my ability to bill hours (we bill in real time. You're expected to do billable activities 35 hours out of the week). I talked to my boss and HR. Tried EAP but the therapist fell through? Asked for accommodation but I don't even know what they could accommodate. The kicker is the health insurance…

How are people that are ruthlessly exploited under capitalism made to be the bad guy when they quit or simply won't take any shit from an employer. The world is so backwards.

I work at Starbucks and our hours are getting cut / business is up / people are being very abusive recently. Told my dad who I of course know is very conservative. His solution: “Rise up in the ranks and change how things are done” wow Edit: This post is extremely short on purpose because this is the reason we don’t have unions and make no progress. This right here

Delbert Grady and Lloyd The Bartender, both were allowed to speak to customers without being judged. Neither were mistreated by managers or forced to do degrading tasks. The hotel customers weren’t rude or unpleasant, there were no Karens complaining about treatment, and no staff member was looked down upon for the role they did. When staff are allowed to meet the Overlook’s needs instead of focusing on trying to maximise profits, they are happier.
