Maybe this is /r/maliciouscompliance, but figured everyone would appreciate it here. My office is opening for 3 days/week starting in March. Each VP & Director was told to work with their team to make sure that everyone was coming in on the same days for better “collaboration and team building.” Due to everyone having been working from home, there's been the inevitable “calendar creep” for everyone. Meetings starting right at 8 AM, being back-to-back through the day, etc. It's been tolerated while WFH because most people (myself included) would roll from bed to computer at 7:55 for the first call. Well, the VP of my team thinks the idea of suddenly waking up earlier to shower, get dressed, commute, etc. to be in the office for 8 AM is stupid. So when he picked the 3 days a week, he put in place a “stand-up meeting” that starts at 8:15…

I'm only in my second semester and I'm struggling way to much to come up with the money for tuition. I work at a Chic-fil-a on my campus but they only pay me about 8.30/hr and it's one of the highest paying jobs on campus. I don't have a car so I can't really work off campus or it would at least have to be a pretty close walk for me to make it. I have grants to help me out but even with them I still can't make the money up to pay for the rest of my tuition that grants don't cover, and no matter how many scholarships I apply for, I never hear back from them. At this point I really don't know how I'm going to finish out this semester

Just going through all the stupid reasons why companies are firing the good employees for nonsense shit is also making my blood boil but with so much anger why aren't we making it known what companies are doing these shitty and probably illegal things? Let it be known what company you used to work for.

I could not be more excited. I have worked there for 2 years, during the pandemic and had a few flare ups of my autoimmune disease (no health insurance and had to pay out of pocket), got shingles and a few episodes of depression… hours of wage theft that they said they didn't pay for because it was 'training'. Worked almost every day from home or in the office. They decided to cut my hours by half and I just asked to be laid off. I just want to work on my mental health and physical health for awhile. I am so tired and burnt out. Edit: I do got a plan in place and side projects to dive into…

I was fired from dominoes because a customer was giving me wrong delivery instructions. I went back and forth 6 times the stretch being about a mile and told them there was no house where they were saying the house was. After the third time the guy started to call me a “***ard” I eventually stopped listening to their instructions and found the house and explained to them they were giving me wrong instructions. They threatened to fight me and told me I just needed to listen better. I told him okay then I'm going back to the store and hung up the phone. When I got back to dominoes my manager fired me because they “called corporate” and I refused to deliver the pizza to someone who was verbally abusing me and wanted to physically abuse me as well. The manager was just using this as an excuse to…

I made a post in here a week ago about how to make my complaint against my boss stick. During this time: I went from being absolutely tormented for 35 hours a week, to finding a new job IN A DAY that’s going to pay me 3.50 more an hour. My point being don’t settle. I cannot believe I put up with as much as I did out of fear of change. I could have saved myself an entire year of misery and made 12,000 more if I had just bit the bullet when I should have. Don’t be afraid to look around. Don’t be afraid to always keep your options open. And don’t kick yourself too much if you are scared. Just remember: Humans hate change. That’s a biological fact that goes back to caveman days. It makes us uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean we have to avoid changes.…
