Monkeys run on peanuts, lions run on monkeys

I'm not familiar with this subreddit but my boyfriend suggested I share my story partly because I can appreciate the humor of the situation and partly because he thinks it might help cheer me up. I've been a cocktail waitress for six years now and I started working at this particular bar almost a year ago when they had just reopened after being closed for a year and a half due to COVID. I was a part of their first wave of hires and because I had a good amount of craft cocktailing experience I was quickly made a bartender despite my lack of actual bartending experience. The craft cocktail industry in the Midwest is very much a “boys club” and it's still very hard to cross the ranks from cocktail server to bartender. I've dealt with all sort of harassment from guests groping me to coworkers telling me to…

To preface this; I am a trans woman and I have been socially and medically transitioning now for about 8 months. Around July 2021 I came out at work and changed my name – up until then I was a woman named Skye in my personal life, and a Man in my professional life. Living two lives became too hard so I didn't waste much time between telling my boss what was going on, and making it public across the company with the help of HR (or at least what passed for HR at this company). I noticed my boss over the next few months began to start undermining me and doing things behind my back. It made it difficult to manage my department when my employees were being told to do things without me even knowing about it. I was frustrated for them as well, because I tried my…

I refuse to ever to put a space between “thank” and “you” ever again. Fuck you man

I remember my experience of working in electronic department in a big store. It was the year of the wii nintendo come out. So everybody was looking for that new console that year just before xmas. I was a cashier at this shitty place. Everyday i was answering the phone about no more wii nintendo and people were coming asking me too. But the thing its the manager they had console stock under the counter. With their name on it. I was tired of that stupid place to be humiliated by thepeople in charge so my last day working there i sold all the console that the manager kept for them. It was so much fun and i was proud to have fuck with them. The only thing i would have like to see their face when they found out….

Been at the new job for about 6 months and have pretty much learned everything as it is an administrative role. There is a job posted internally that would give me a 22% increase which I would love to have but it is another admin role which I will probably become bored. ​ The issue is that my job requires us to inform my current supervisor if we want to transfer. I know deep down my boss would not be very happy about this and there is no guarantee I would get to the position either, which could have greater ramifications as I would have to still work with him. Although I am an admin, I have always been very good at my job and I have unfortunate problem of being so good at times, that I cannot move into a better role. What would you do? I work in…

I don't know if this should post here but I'll ask anyway. I work at a very popular resort. I love it there in general. I want to stay. Even after working there 6 years, I'm still considered a relative newbie. There are only a few people there who have worked there less but most have worked there over 5 years to 10 to 20 and upwards of 30 years. However, my former supervisor and manager started acting really sh*tty, taking my shifts because it worked better for them, and totally dismissing my complaints about it to add to the multitude of issues I'd been putting up with but that was the last straw. Meanwhile, there was another manager who manages two departments who had been trying to woo me away from my last department to work for him. Once that scheduling thing happened and I wanted to transfer, he…
