I work directly under the operations manager who used to be the logistics manager for our company. My team and I are able to do anything we need to do such as help out on understaffed departments if they are swamped or someone called out. Being the most experienced one in my team, I was promoted to the position that my boss left and became in charge of the team, with a raise and additional benefits. I worked hard that it reached the point that I even help out the other branches we have when there are issues. I took the responsibility as a challenge to myself and it rarely happens anyway so no big deal. Everything was going well until I was told today by my boss that the higher ups want to hire someone to take over my job and I will be demoted to Team Lead. They…

My boss speaks to me in a weird way, like calling me smelly when im not (her excuse was its for the image) i think she shoulde made sure first. She has said things like “why dont you bring your shops to our shop? You dont have any?” She is obsessive over mistakes . She bosses us around like she owns us, she tells me “you're coming tommorow” not “could you come?” It may sound exaggerated here but sometimes an employee genuinely cant cover. She disrespects my wishes and made fun of me for saying i will need to go to my school next week since I have official exams – she's rude and she's petty like a child. Yesterday I “made a mistake”(which I'm sure my coworker helped in happening) and she says things like aren't my issues at home/ personal worries and life worries enough? This is a…

Hello everyone, As someone in the tech field, I've been feeling like every day is just a cycle of problems and incidents. It's getting to the point where when I log off, I have no energy left to do anything else. I feel like I'm not really living and just going through the motions until it's Friday. But even when Friday comes, I'm too exhausted to enjoy myself and only have Saturday to do anything before I have to prep myself for the next draining work cycle on Sunday. I know that there are worse jobs out there, but constantly using my mind like this is extremely draining for something I'm not even passionate about. It's hard to care about the job when we all have real problems in the outside world. I've realized that this is just a job and not my identity. Even simple tasks like going out…

I just accepted a Lead position in the warehouse I’ve been at for 3 years. The lead position comes with $1 raise, however the company wants to give me $0.50 now, review me in 6 months and give me the rest at that point. So all the work for half the raise. Obviously not going to settle for this, I plan to start running this issue up the chain until I get my full dollar. What are some arguments you would bring to the table for this?

I'm genuinely confused. Some of these posts have real qualms about labor, needs, etc, and other sound like outright complaining and laziness. I don't expect to get serious answers but it would be greatly appreciated

I work for the wealthiest family in America and I live in the city where I work. I have to work 3 weeks in order to pay rent for one month. Something’s wrong with this, America.
