Hi guys, trying to search for advice and I know the labor board is who I eventually go to but not seeing what I’m looking for with my case here. I’ll try to provide as many pertinent details as possible to set the scene. My friend works at a rental company in Northeastern Indiana as a leasing agent. They’re scum of the earth, I worked there for 9 months in the same position as him (leasing) and took a pay cut to move to something better. They have extremely high turnover and low Indeed reviews because their M.O. is to blame the employees when things aren’t perfect, threaten their jobs, and eventually either drive them to quit or have them fired. Good employees, too, doesn’t matter to them. They just don’t know what it means to take accountability for anything, so they currently have 4 leasing agents for 2,000 properties…

I'm currently a lifeguard that's the only one on shift when I'm here. My boss scheduled me 12:00pm- 8:30 pm and told me this on Saturday evening. I immediately told him this conflicted with my Valentine's Day plans and that i need to leave at 6 because I already bought non refundable tickets somewhere. At work right now he told me that he can't find a replacement and I might need to stay. What would happen if I told everyone to leave the pool and locked the doors and left early?

I'm 21 and I live in a transitional living program (basically they help me pay rent, teach life skills, ect.) that has also given me a temporary job that I've worked at for a year and a half. Currently, I'm trying to find a new job that has better pay and a more “normal” work environment. To encourage me to go out and find one, I'm losing hours at my current one, about 10 hours to be exact (Keep in mind, I make minimum wage). I've applied at nearly 20 places, and I've had FOUR places contact me. Three of them told me I wouldn't be considered, then the other one I interviewed at. That place told me they'd continue in the hiring process and they'd email me an offer letter on Friday after I called them to check on the process after hearing nothing for four days. Today (Monday)…

So I'm just curious. What do you guys think about most managers. Do you really think we have power or control. I am willing to be most be It retail, restaurant etc have just as much or little control as I do. I have been in Management for 19 years got in during my 20s. I have done food and beverage management, restaurant, bars, country club and hotels. One stint doing housekeeping in a hospital. Never ever again. Currently management in hotels. During my career I realize I make about 50 percent more than most of my line level staff but I have almost 0 ability to affect change. While I am in control of the budget and answer to it. I do not set our goals. Basically we are expected to reach 50 percent flow at the end of each month. Mis revenue than figure out how to cut…

I asked on an anon site about how to go about finding a new job when you don't want to give up your personal values. I was basically told to get off my high horse because people will work for whatever evil company and make money. Is that it? Is that all we have left? The company I currently work for is going to be run into the ground because an exec wants to go in on “web3” and I just don't know what to do anymore. I'm the breadwinner in the house and we need my job to basically be alive. What hope is there left when companies don't care and the only advice is to suck it up and deal? I'm so burnt out and exhausted by the mess of not just where I work but just… every company?? Trying to find a new job seems like an…
