A problem I've been dealing with the last few weeks especially at my workplace is the almost feeling of resentment from some coworkers, whether it be people at my level or higher up. It has nothing to do with my work or my attitude at work, it has to do with how I choose to spend (or not spend) my time outside of work. Everyone from work seems to hang out with each other, constantly going to bars and other places. I'm not about that so I don't go. But now people keep piling on and seeming to turn me into the joke now that I don't spend my time doing their kinds of stuff. It's getting worse because now it's spread its way to higher up's who now are now making me the butt of the jokes, calling me out/laughing at me for reasons that have nothing to do…

10 minutes ago I was sitting in the walmart bathroom (I'm an associate and take breaks in there sometimes) and someone literally pushed the door open lightly. They gave it a small push with their one hand and it opened up. Obviously they apologized and closed it but they couldnt relatch it so I got up and closed it fully. Regardless I just got out of a conversation with one of the higher managers in the store (2 levels above me technically). I go into the conversation, understanding but firm, saying “Hey I was just in the bathroom by the front in the handicap stall, when someone pushed their way in.” When I tell you they literally said “Okay” in the most nonchalant way I mean it. I'm a bit confused so I ask what they mean. And they simply say okay again?? I ask them what they are going…

I’m a blue collar worker who mostly works in shops. I’ve noticed that more places are starting to willingly give up their second break. For what reason I don’t know. I THINK it has something to do with wanting to be seen as hard working, as if an extra ten minutes on the floor is going to make any significant difference. Some places are even scheduling their lunch break around this new “system”. I was told I’d get two paid 10-minute breaks, but I’ve only gotten one. If I only get one, at least make it a fifteen, and at least don’t lie to my face in the interview

Pay schedule is the 1st and 15th. Payday for the 15th comes in on the 28th and payments on the 1st come in around the 10th This is royally fucking up my mortgage and Bill's. We live paycheck to paycheck. Any advice on how to tell a fortune 100 company to pay me on time? Thanks.

My team and I recently received yearly raises that came well below inflation. The company has tried to sell us on a new bonus plan, less than 10% of our salary, that is tied to the company meeting its revenue goals. Understandably, we aren't happy. Our boss also wants to make headway on projects that have been sitting around because we don't have time or resources to get to them. As a way to motivate us, and to answer our complaints about this company bonus that we have very little way to affect, he is offering bonuses if we complete these projects. The issue is that these would have to be completed outside of work hours, and he has explicitly stated that hourly workers will not be clocked in. Is this legal? We aren't completely uncompensated since we should receive a bonus at the end, but it really feels like…

I live in Alberta, Canada. Today I was terminated from my job. They told me it's “without cause” and that they've “assessed the culture of the workplace and I do not fit into it anymore.” They did offer me severance money. Ive been there for 3.5 years. I created the team we have, and been on it since its inception. I am the longest working employee on my team. It's a very large corporation I work for, and have been very dedicated to. This was absolutely out of the blue. I always questioned working for a corp, as a natural anarchist, but they offered decent hours and benefits so I just continued to clock in and do my work. My work was always good, my yearly reviews were also good. I feel hurt. I feel lost. I feel like I never, ever, want to work again.
