ITT: we discuss the BEST possible Workplace a person can be in. I know it doesn't require common sense, but common sense is not so common at all. I have seen and worked with toxic managers and bosses, been in toxic unbearable workplaces and heard hundreds of stories. Now, some of us might want to start a business or maybe run a department or currently is a head of company. Describe with bullet points the best possible work hours, wages, overtime, work days, vacations, bonuses, HR policies, recruitment, etc…

For context, I've been working at this hotel bar as a bartender for the past 1.5 months. I have a ton of fine serving/restaurant experience, and I'm an expert server. At first, I genuinely thought it would be a good gig (despite the extreme turnover they had been having forever, 1st red flag!). As I started, I began to realize how much it SUCKED. The place is horrendously managed. Every single shift is unnecessarily stressful and negative, and I hate every minute I'm there. The managers genuinely don't give a shit, and my manager constantly disappears. They are CONSTANTLY out of basic liquors like Tito's and Aperol. They made the idiotic decision to make us fresh juice all of our fruits, despite us being so high volume at times and the clientele primarily being sorority girls. The POS system is it's own thing… it constantly glitches or crashes, and it's…

I have been very fortunate with my career and how I have utilized specific job functions to display on my resume and advance me up the chain. None of us dream of labor but it is something we all have to do and we might as well make money and not absolutely hate it. If anybody needs help, forward me your resume and an idea of what you would like to do and I will try my best to help you tidy everything up and advance. Edit: Wrong “THEIR” in the title is really IRKING me

I'm in a toxic work environments right now, i need to get out, bottom line, and I will, but fuck. The jobs are all significantly less than what I make, or have bs requirements, or are solely in a different language (I live in quebec), ontop of that the descriptions are so vague or weirdly condescending and beauracratic, if theyeven give any information at all. It feels like a majority of the people hiring in my area operate from a deep point of distrust and ego. A sorta “whoever I hire is gonna be an idiot, sp I'm not gonna pay them well until they prove themselves and maybe not even then if I can get away with it, because I deserve my position but I'm merely gifting them theirs, they should be grateful and try to prove themselves to me, otherwise it's not worth it.”

I had a major jaw surgery in April and I finally got back to work after 3 weeks. I had two more post op appointments when this was up. These appointments kind of give me direction on wearing my bands, how the bones are healing, what to eat, and generally how things are progressing. So I come back to work and tell my boss I have just these two post op appointments. And she denied one because it was too busy that day they are too short staffed. And how expensive it was for my 3 weeks I was gone for surgery that they had a temp. And they don't have the money for a temp that day. Even though this is a medically necessary appointment. I may go to HR. If I cannot reschedule my appointment but I am afraid of retaliation.

So I'm one of those people who didn't have a plan once they turned 18 because I didn't think I'd get there. Lived at home for a while, worked three jobs at some points, moved out, continued working 50-60 hours, went a whole month without a day off because of shitty management. Now I work 10 hour days (50 hours a week) and it's so depressing. I'm finally making a decent wage but I'm spending my whole life on work and it physically pains my heart. I have four hours of free time a day, two before work and two after (sometimes more if I go to bed later). How can I take care of myself ? How can I do anything? It's soul crushing. I have no hobbies and people don't understand. Why get myself excited about hobbies I don't have time to keep up with? Why start projects…
