I have this manager who supervise a few departments and run multiple projects concurrently for a hospital. Guy thinks he is the deal and i suppose he was given how we relied on him. Came one day when a new CEO was announced and the management was shaked up. Multiple positions were replaced ensued except for my manager. There are a lot of talk going around about this new development. I asked my manager about his chances of remaining and he quickly brushed me off. He told me he is the key cog to the entire organizational chain for 26 years and all operations will halted without him. I told so was another fellow colleague who also thought he was the biggie. My manager got furious and argued very heatedly about how different he was and how he was the hottest cake in town. I told him to read this…

There is a post in this subreddit where a guy who had been working for 26 years at a hospital was fired. This happened just a year after a new CEO came in and said that it “didnt work”. Thats because it doesnt matter how good you are – how intelligent – how skilled – how hard working – how dilligent – how reliable – the only thing that matters is how much the boss – how much the person that descides – likes you. Thats all. When the store closed my GF got laid off after 5 years despite being a good worker and never being sick. Out of the 7 people working there the boss transfered the 3 people he liked the most to another store and fired the 4 he didnt like. I worked at a company for 7 years – and was fired and replaced with…

I’ve told my boss time and time agajn that I’ve needed to take time off and that I’m seriously burnt out. She never listens, and does this to my other coworkers who have also said they have needed time off for whatever legitimate reasons and she just does not care. She went and scheduled me Monday-Friday the entire month of April and that leaves me absolutely no time to do the things that I need to go. I’m going through a crisis right now and need an insane amount of therapy and help but she literally does not care nor listens and now I’m stuck working the entire fucking month of April where as her fucking “friend” that she recently hired gets a full two weeks off so the two can fuck off on vacation together. I have 45 hours in vacation time and now she’s giving me bullshit and…

“talk to a lawyer” is bad advise. Don't waste your time talking to a lawyer if you've worked for a large company or state or federal agency. Essentially, we peasants don't have rights. The reason i say that is, if you have worked for a large corporation or agency, its more than likely: 1.) if the case doesn't pay attorneys wont take it 2.) THERE IS A CONFLICT Most attorneys work for money. Employees don't make enough money to retain attorneys. Companies do. So what companies have done is, hire attorneys at least once from every employment firm in the state or surrounding states. What this does is it creates a conflict: A firm can't represent you if they have worked for a client in the past or currently. Another thing is, in order for a claim to be heard with the court, evidence is required. No coworker is going…

I thought I would post this here because it’s antiwork & we know all the BS qualifications job listings ask for. I’ve been applying to dozens of jobs that aren’t particularly difficult (office management, receptionist, front-desk organization types), but I have absolutely no experience in these types of jobs. I had to take a break from uni & I’m trying to get out of the endless cycle of retail job after retail job, but now that I’m starting to hear back from employers, I’m starting to freak out. Everybody I know who has graduated university had at least some white lies on their resumes for jobs they weren’t entirely qualified for & told me to do the same, but what now?

I'm quitting my job without notice, and it's bothering me more than I hoped. My current job is a grueling 12 hour night shifts, I have only been at this job for a month, the place is chaotic, I have only been trained about 30% of my job and cannot do large portions of my work. I have been offered and accepted a career opportunity with a State Agency protecting the welfare of at risk individuals. This position pays $7/Hour more than my current job, has better hours, and has superb benefits. Not to mention, I get to use my college degree as opposed to not using it in my current position. Why do I feel like I owe so much to a company that I barely have worked for and has been a turbulent month?
