I only get like two days off a week of free time and I can’t even enjoy those days because I know I will be going back to work soon. Humans weren’t meant to live like this. Working full time is very damaging on your mental health. I wish I could only work 1-2 days a week and make enough to afford a decent life. Am I really asking for that much? If it was something I actually enjoyed doing then I would have no problem spending 40 hours doing it a week but spending the majority of your life doing something you hate just seems like torture to me

my bartending wage has been changed from $5 hourly to $2.83 hourly – no one was informed… However OUR tip out % was raised so we get more in tips, but the wage change without letting the employees know is a major warning sign – ultimately i’d like to report this [anonymously 1000%] how can i ? what other steps can i take? our staff of 6-7 bartenders are all upset and i want to get the ball rolling..thanks in advance; i’d like to sue their asses.

Today my colleagues got a raise in their salary and I got told that they win more because they have more experience than me even though I have been working there for more Time than some of them. I will be quiting my job in no less than 2 to 3 weeks and won't give them a heads up.

After coming out of the pandemic up here in Northern New England I figured it was time to get out a bit, get a part time job to pay some taxes and put a few extra nickles in the coffer. I applied for a job at the local Home Depot where I was offered a Customer Service job for $19.00 an hour with 15 to 22 hours a week. Perfect. Nothing too demanding. I go thru a week's worth of hiring process and day of training and things are going smooth when all of a sudden I get a call at home from HR… “Your rate of pay is wrong, it is not $19 but $14.50 an hour. We made a mistake and are very sorry.” I said to the HR lady “Three times you assured me $19.00 was the correct wage. I even inquired to make sure it was…

First of all, this happened to me many years ago when I was a teenager and had zero life experience. I can't help but see the similarities in all of your stories happening now, it's a shame how little has changed in the way workplaces treat their employees. I was about 17 and I was offered a job working for a store that sold motorcycles, atv's, boats, and everything fun an outdoorsy. I was beyond excited to be around all these expensive toys all day. The company also liked to tell all their new hires about the perks and summer retreats where employees get to try them all out at the owners cottage or farm or wherever. On the first day I got to help lineup the motorcycles along the front entranceway and see all the boats, then I was walked to the business next door that did car oil…

Early 50s coworker honestly believes a 22 year old employee at his small grocery store has saved $100000 working there for minimum wage. He was ranting today that all of the restaurants in town have “help wanted” signs up and no one will take the jobs because they’re receiving $600 a month from the govt. I had had enough of listening to his bullshit so I said to him there is a simple solution to the problem, just offer to pay the workers more fucking money. He went into a long rant about how he “knows better” because he’s a small business owner blah blah blah and he’d have to increase prices even higher if minimum wage went up, its $11.50ish here, no one would shop there anymore and he’d have to close. I informed him that less than 9% of Canadian workers earn minimum wage, prices are going up…
