Last night at 9:24pm my boss text to ask me if I could come in to give lunches today. That time doesn't even give me time to respectfully cancel and reschedule my appointments. I text to let her know that and she made me feel like crap. Her text was “It was because I was literally in the back all day. We got our asses handed to us. Have a nice day”. I offered to come and help after this work class I had yesterday and she told me she had plenty of help. She claims she told me to call her but I know that's not true. I'm already fretting work tomorrow over this. I know I am gonna pay for it via her passive aggressive behavior. Anyone else experienced this?

I'm in Canada, I work 10 to 5 every weekday but I never get out at 5. we are usually stuck there for another half hour to hour closing and balancing. My boss says no one is compensated after 5 which makes no sense to me, especially since im on contract for minimum 30 hours and work way more than that. What gets me is that this violates the canadian labour code. Any hours you work you must be compensated for by canadian law, especially in my case where I'm not on salary i'm hourly. If I stay for an extra half an hour every day, im losing $50 a week which is insane.

I could be jaded at this point, but it screams understaffed to me. And why are companies usually understaffed? Because they treat people like garbage. I’m trying to be hopeful, but who would be in this economy?

Do you tip a server the same percentage who works at an expensive restaurant as you do workers at a cheaper restaurant or carryout? Say your table of four at one place has a $64 tab, but at a nicer place you have a $220 tab. You spent an hour eating at each. Is your tip still 15 to 20 percent in both cases? So about $10 at the cheap place but $35 to $45 at the other?

After applying constantly for jobs to get out of the shitstorm I'm in, I land an interview at a chiropractor place close to me. Or so I thought. Guy sends me a fucking 31 minute mandatory assessment to do beforehand. I'm an awful test taker and those “assessments” are just a waste of time. I'd rather not move forward if im just gonna be shot down anyway from a fucking “test.” Feeling really annoyed right now.
