I work for a big retail establishment. I know NYS is at-will employment and I can be fired as well quit at anytime. I'm not sure how to handle my situation. Since working there for a few months, I enjoyed my job and respected everyone. I've always been on time, diligent, asked questions to learn, helped coworkers with questions /tasks even though I was newer and worked hard To try and make this short with my problems, My manager enjoys making racial jokes to me knowing since I moved here, It was something I experienced commonly with the locals since theirs no diversity here. He'll also make sexual jokes like if you call them over he'll say something along the lines of “Are you coming on to me?” This man has apparently been reported in the past but never fired. I expressed my interest in quitting to a supervisor and…

So I can say so confidently that I understand why I’ve gotten let go from my previous jobs over the past few years, you know, the constantly calling in, the clocking in late all the time & things in that nature. But THIS job. I would never. Matter of fact I’m just so mad because I never did. So when you first start there’s this thing where is you call in without a doctors note there is absolutely no mercy. You’re fired. You can’t call in for the first 90 days (also its rare you get two days off in the same week btw). I’ve worked so hard and literally made it to that mark after working 6-10 days straight every week. My 90 day review was about a week and a half ago and it was them just letting me know I’m off probation and yatta yatta. Boom still…
I've been working in the food & beverage industry for 12 consecutive years. Never have I encountered this in any interview. It is a job and I have bills to pay. Why is this important?
I put in my two weeks on Friday last week and the company I am leaving has set insane deadlines asking me to finish projects I was working on and write detailed procedures for all the work I did. Even if I had 4 weeks this would be a monumental task. It makes me want to just walk off a week early. Their main concern is no one knows how to do the work I was doing; maybe a sign I was underpaid if I was this critical to the operations. The thing I find most infuriating is the gall that they must have to think that I really want to put in that much effort for a job I want to leave.
Anyone had any similar experiences? I just told my supervisor that I came in at 6:40-6:50 am because I thought my schedule was 7:20 to 4.. She corrected me, stating that my actual time for today was supposed to be 6:20 to 3. That's fine. I'll just stay back until 3:20 pm to compensate since I'm 20 minutes late. I pack my things at 3:20 and I'm on the road… Not even 5 minutes after leaving.. I get a phone call from another supervisor requesting me to throw out the trash bins around the entire building. Understand, I'm learning a trade and I'm not a janitor. But this is just how they treat us. Apparently my supervisor told the other supervisors that I was staying until 4pm because I said “I thought it was 7:20 to 4 today”.. despite me clarifying the time I clocked in… I explain to this…
I work at a supermarket in Barcelona, in where as for what I've got understood we should have 12 hours of rest between from leaving work until going back to it. Today and during three more days in the next weekends Im scheduled to work until 22 at night, and come back the next day at 7.15 in the morning. It's 9 hours of rest, of which only 7 are sleep.
I've been a DSP in Oregon (fancy name for support staff) and it's awful. Abuse is rampant and the state is so overwhelmed with allegations they literally push them through so they get processed. There's no worker rights and unions literally ghost you when you try to reach out to unionize. The state of Oregon is well aware but they're fine with it. Wage theft, retaliation, retaliatory allegations, client abuse, breaking workman's laws. How does one try to make change? I'll be straight I'm never leaving this field but I really really want to see it change.
