Hi all, I have no idea where to post this but I need advice after getting majorly snubbed on my new salary after promotion. I was promoted but not given anything in writing and verbally asked to keep my salary confidential. I know that is a legally protected right in my state and this discussed with coworkers anyway. All other promoted in just the few months prior to my promotion received a 14.5% raise and I only received 8%. Upon inquiring about this I was told everyone promoted after x date also only received a smaller raise, but I have yet to be able to confirm this. I do believe it to be true though. I continually put in more work than others, nearly double tbh, even though I should not. Did it bite me in the add now? Yes and that’s my own fault and you can call me…

Call it what it is: it’s a SECOND JOB because we’re at a time where most people need two of them to just survive. Stop trying to give it a catchy name and make it sound like late stage capitalism is fun. For fuck’s sake. Thank you for letting me rant. I’m sure people have posted rants about this over and over again, I’m just so over it. Thank you for letting me vent.

Quit for a better paying job that started immediately. Wrote a thoughtful email explaining I'm done and the owner lashed out and tried to be cruel, so I politely tore him a new one. My initial resignation stated I felt unsafe and was concerned for staff and customers. I told him his staff deserve more and they deserve better, that his management team's behaviour is unacceptable. For context, they have staff quitting mid-shift about once a month. They lose about 3-4 members of staff a month. They humiliate, berate, manipulate, and lie to staff to get their way. And in front of customers. Two staff and one customer were injured on site in the last week. Here is his response, followed by mine. Hi OP, Disappointed with your email first and foremost. All I would say is that it is telling that you didn't at least show me the respect…

I’m a full time employee, hourly paid, working with kids (after school babysitting). This company has many locations in the city I’m in and they are going to move me to another location. I’ve been at the first one since I’ve been hired (about a year). I told them I didn’t want to and wasn’t happy about it because nobody stated anything about moving locations especially last minute when I’m almost done with the school year etc. I’m also dealing with psoriasis (first time in my life) at the moment and I’m not taking any sudden changes very well. Stress is making my flare up worse and I’m already struggling physically (joint pain in my hips, feet, hands) and mentally (lack of sleep due to itching at night and unaliving myself thoughts). They had a meeting with me this Friday and said they don’t want to terminate me but if…
