My colleague told me “your being a Karen” honestly if I am, than you can tell me and I will accept to change it. For sure, I will respect responsibility. So I been working 6 years at this company. I am unionized. We have this girl who has been working 2 years, she used to work 24 hours but they bumped her to 40 hours because she asked management for it. I was doing 24 hours, but they than gave me 32 because I demanded more hours after, as 24 is not enough to live on. I do a lot of management work for them, I do scheduling and I check if the team is doing there job by checking performance reviews (I am told do this by them) and I have to train new people as well all the time. Well I was working my shift and found out…

Does anyone know if other discrimination coming to light against your old company could help your case?

I just started this sales job last month, and I absolutely hate it. I will be texting my resignation to my manager, and I guess I should email HR too.

When I chose architecture as major and career, I never realized that there would be many obstacles to a healthy life. After I graduated from college and got an actual job, I learned about the many problems that persisted in my specific career field. The long hours with very little pay, high competition, sweatshops, what it takes to get a decent living. These problems might not be unique to my field, but the moment I found out about them a part of me felt regretful for picking this as my career. How many of you feel the same about your career choice?

I’m an account manager for a wholesale company and many other employees work remote/hybrid. I’ve been there for 6 months and when last discussed, my boss said we could discuss again once I stopped making silly mistakes. I believe that I’ve done that and even handled the work of 3 people for a week while the other 2 were on vacation. I was basically on my own that week with no backup. The only reason I could see her saying no is because she catches me on my phone (a lot) but only because there’s often not work for me to do. I offer to help other people when I have time but it’s not a very busy company so usually there’s nothing for me to do. Any tips on what to say during the meeting?

Just as the title states, I was given a promotion at my work in January. Before the promotion happened, I was sent a text from the GM that reads “Effective Monday, January 9[th], you will officially be a team lead and your pay will be $19/hourly effective that day.” I've come to find out, perhaps too late, that I've not received the raise despite taking on a world's worth of new responsibilities. I've had a “talk” (mentioned in passing twice and a disturbingly short sit-down today) with said GM. He told me that he “just can't do it” and when I brought up the aforementioned text he told me “You're right. I'll talk with you [in the next few days] about making up some of the difference on your next check…” Needless to say, I'm pretty livid, but I'm mostly seeking advice on how to continue. I've done the calm…
