I noticed different strategies. Mark always brings up difficulties with his children to avoid calls and tasks. John simulate that his tasks are very very difficult. They are very simple and quick to do, but manager doesn't know. Luke is my favourite. He is always overtalking. No one can handle its loooong recap of what has done and have to do. Manager just want him to end the conversation and never ask him about anything else Sometimes I wonder if managers can't see these patterns lol

I am a long time lurker and commenter here but now I find myself in need of some perspective. For background, I spent much of my adult life working in IT in various roles. I tried to leave it a few times only to come back because it is what I know and what I am good at. After 7 years on disability I landed a state government job on the service desk on May 9th of last year. It was like starting anew but I was given a level 3 because of my background. The last 10 months have been rough as I am 46, not in my 20s anymore, but I hit my stride right around the 4th month in. Despite this, I find myself in an increasingly dire situation because I despise the IT Director as he has single-handedly made my job and life far more difficult…

This whole “companies not paying their employees enough to give a shit” is really starting to piss me the fuck off. I currently live in an apartment complex, and I need to renew my lease by April 6th to avoid going month to month. If I go month to month my rent will go from 1750 to 2400. I have been going back and forth with management about it for the last 3 ish weeks now. The issue I'm having is that the head property manager recently quit because she wasn't being treated well by the company. Like, I'd go in to her office for assistance such as maintenance or whatever and there's was an instance where she was literally working with pneumonia, because they wouldn't let her take the day off. She was making $18/hr as a property manager. Etc. She was being treated BAD. I'm proud of her…

My resignation is not approved by our bosses (not HR), because I was told my resignation has to be approved before passing it to the HR. I have felt burnt out and have been hospitalized because of work for only $400 a month (I'm in a 3rd world country), it is so difficult to find a job but I'd rather be jobless than cost my mental health. Any advice?

This can be generalized to the food industry as a whole, possibly: circumstantial evidence but there's a meme divided between “front of the house” and “back in the kitchen” and it shows the front as vaping and drinking stylish coffee drinks while the kitchen smokes cigarettes and pounds Monsters/et. al. Anyway, this is my reasoning: Especially on the lower end of the spectrum, people can handle being social just enough to do a job like McD's, where malicious noncompliance is not necessarily disciplined, and where nonmalicious noncompliance is common anyway on all levels. But still, they will be shunted into the kitchen, perhaps in a supervisory role. There used to be more of a stigma associated with McD's employment, like there was something wrong with you if you worked there (at best, if you were a student, it was just a curious time of your life working for the Empire,…

This is in the UK, England. I work a retail job and I have 93 hours of PTO/holiday that I can use between April 2023 – March 2024. I put in all my requests for that time period and the manager rejected two days I requested off (November 24th and November 25th) because she says I need to keep some holiday for after Christmas, so the time between January – March. But I don't want to do that. I'm fine with not having any PTO/holiday for those three months. Should I tell her I definitely want those days off and I don't mind having no holiday for the rest of the months? Or is there some rule saying that employees in the UK can't go a certain time without having holiday/PTO?
