Story time, folks! It was a McDonalds, not bad at all considering some horror stories I've heard. I honestly kinda enjoyed the work and enjoyed the people I worked with. We never had any rude customers, none on my shift anyway, which is a bit shocking to me since it was a small town I opened for that store for a month straight, both service and kitchen, and even after I was given shifts when the store opened, was one of their most reliable crew members. I'd cover just about any shift they asked of me and was trained to work nearly everywhere in that store. It was honestly a good gig Aside from one manager. Theres ALWAYS that one manager. She would take me off stops I was good at because I somehow made her mad or with an excuse of I was running up our time. Which was…

Not sure why this sub lately seems to think it’s Gen Z that “sticks it to the man” or this is a new thing. If you’re not being treated well, you’re well within your right to leave/not show up. Especially if you’ve given a job ample chances to do better. I’ve always been under the impression that most people here are millennials +, those who have been working for a while and are fighting back against the way we are treated. idk I just hope it doesn’t turn into a “gen z does it better” scenario because we’re all in this together.

Finally quitting a job that a should’ve left months ago. Basically the only thing that made me stay was the insurance. What do I do? This is America btw. They tie the health of your life into your job so that you cant take a break to change anything…

If you take meds to deal with work, you're not the one with the disorder.

I work in a nursing home. In the 3 years I've been here they have pulled a lot of crap. For starters, if you call in they force you to “make it up” on your off days. And to top it off, if you're sick and they mandate you to be off for X amount of days, you're also forced to make up the days they told you that you can't come in because you were sick. So for the full timers, who are already working 40 hours a week, and have kids and lives outside of work, it's nearly impossible. You work 40 hours a week then you miss 5 days because of being sick so then they force you to make up those 5 days on top of your regular shifts. A lot of my coworkers are students. They can't manage their studies while following this policy. A…

I work at a newish pharma company which is generally well run with a really nice company culture. I've never had a problem with anyone except one colleague I work with who has been called a bully, annoying, incompetent and so on by multiple people including myself. Working with him was such a nightmare that my manager hired a supervisor to manage us both under her. The supervisor really hit it off with him and quite honestly they're both widely seen as annoying and incompetent so they kind of stick together and leave me out. Which is honestly ok with me. We work in lab based roles and those two never actually enter the lab except to keep tabs on me. I do almost the entirety of our work and lately I've been working late as a result. The supervisor occasionally says backhanded comments to me implying that she doesn't…
