A lot of the people in restaurants have to at least smoke weed to cope with all the shit that happens there. I worked at a hibachi grill for about 5 months. About 80% of the staff did drugs. From smoking weed(legal in my state) to oxy, Adderall, Xanax, cocaine. At one point all of the hibachi chefs were on pills(idk what kind. This was before I got there) people would go out back and smoke weed whenever they needed to. Servers popping pills in the break room. Management knew but they couldn’t really do anything about it cause they would have to fire 80% of their staff and get more people that would probably end up doing the same thing. No shame to anyone who does drugs. I understand it. It helps with you cope with everything.

Does anyone have a graphic (preferably 1938-2022) of what minimum wage is and what it should be if it were indexed to inflation? I’d prefer a published source and in a table, listed year-by-year and not in a line chart.

I love/hate this subreddit. Love the freedom to express all the shitty things about work life, hate how often the shitty things happen. I’m a “high ranking” (In quotes because I hate hierarchy) employee at my organization and have the ability to transform the experience for people in my department. We’re remote first and I generally don’t care when people are working or not working. Obviously we have deliverables to meet but otherwise, whatever. My question is, what else would you want to see as an employee to genuinely see people first over profit?

Hello, I am coming up on my performance review and wanted to get some feedback. I’ve been told by my former boss (boss#5) and new boss (boss #6) tell me I have a pretty negative performance review. It will require me to be on a performance improvement plan. The reason my review is so bad is I’ve had 6 bosses over the last year, and I’ve only been with the company a year. Heck the company is barely 1.5 years old. During one period I reported directly to the VP. To say he didn’t like me is an understatement. He actually wanted boss #5 to terminate me when she started but she wanted to assess and have a chance to work with me first. There have been instances where the VP called me out in meetings, dismissed me outright, and even insulted me in front of our vendors and other…

I’m a server. About three weeks ago, I got arrested for DUI, and my GM found out by chance. Her husband had to bail out one of his friends the same night and saw my name in the logbook at the police station. They told my boyfriend that they had learned about my situation, and I was fine with them knowing up until today, since I assumed that they wouldn’t tell anybody. My GM has been friends with my boyfriend since long before I worked for her, so I’ve hung out with her a few times outside the workplace simply because of association. For that reason, I’m the only one at my workplace who knows a bunch of secrets about her, and I’ve always kept them to myself out of respect. But today was my day off, and my best work friend texted me to ask if I was telling…

I work as a caregiver for patients with developmental disabilities in a small group home. My company is a non profit and we’re in northeastern Ohio. I saw someone posting on here about contacting unions to try and unionize his work and I wanted to know if their was any union groups around me I could contact

Supervisor mentions the possiblity of getting off early to start the weekend. We work 4-10's, night shift. We get a half hour lunch at 4 hours in, and a 20 minute break 7 hours in. At about 1:30am, he asks if I want to work through break to get out sooner. I say, nah, I'll take my 20 minute paid break. I discussed it with a co-worker who mirrored my thoughts of “GTFOH with that shit!” Why tf would I forego a paid break by choice???? Why would I save money for the international corporation I work for???
