Basically I’m working on a department with one other guy rotating shifts. Work involves three tasks,preparing the material,manufacturing(most time consuming)and then packing .We are getting very busy and they decided we should get third shift,night shift . But to avoid strain to us of doing nights they come up with an idea the third guy that is trained on another shift will only be trained and involved in preparing and packing along with one of us on the same shift leaving most important task to us. Today I learned only because of my deputy team leader’s mistake that the other guy is actually being trained on manufacturing area. Everyone around kept this in secret to my and even been told to tell me in case I ask that he is not trained on manufacturing. I’m not sure what to think about this and how should I approach this situation. Turns…

Attendance is rewarded with “points” that will go towards an insurance premium discount, but to get the discount you have to earn a certain number of points by attending these seminars outside of work hours. I pay nearly $400/month for my prescription medications. That’s my out-of-pocket expense AFTER insurance. What a slap in the face.

As you can tell about the title. I'm currently getting experience required to be able to get a food franchise. The reason why I post this is because one thing that I've always hated about the retail/food industry is the low low pay. Personally I want provide the most possible for my future employees. That being said. I want everyone to post suggestions on how to bring up the standards for employees inside these industries. I never want my employees to feel strapped for money or worry about getting hurt cause no insurance. If anyone has already done this and would have no problem coaching me or just having a conversation that would be wonderful!

My gf started a new job about a month ago and has been grinding, working 12 days in a row and over 50 hours this week. I brought up that the OT pay will be nice and was flabbergasted when she told me she doesn’t get OT, they made her sign a contract when she was hired that stipulates she will only be paid OT if she exceeds 88 hours in a 2 weeks time frame.. I get that this part is kind of her fault for signing and just thinking its normal (still scummy by her employer though as they have her working 12 hours days so only do this because they KNOW she will be hitting OT most weeks). However they also told her she would have paid 30 min lunches since she is the only one at the store rn and can’t have someone cover for her,…

My manager’s boss’s boss came in to our store randomly before 10pm to spy on us. I could kinda tell he was someone because when his account rang up, it had an employee discount, he was all dressed up despite it being so late, and he had this soul less, but stand-offish expression. Kinda like he thought of himself better then everyone else. He seemed pretty chill because he was striking a conversation and was poking fun of my two name tags which was the response I got from customers all shift. Then he left and I thought that was it. Come the next day my manager pulls my coworker and I aside and basically tells us that this guy was her boss’s boss and was basically having a temper tantrum all day through text to her boss. Complaining about so much little stuff. Said we were goofing off and…
