Has this happened to anyone? I am an Aussie and used to live in Perth, Western Australia. A shop selling bulk whole foods and European niche products always had a handwritten cardboard sign in the window “Casual Staff Wanted”. I went in to inquire couple of times, never got a call back, figured they wanted younger staff because I was in my 30s and teenagers are cheaper. However, the Staff Wanted sign was *always in the front window…. They couldn't find anyone?? I later met an Irish backpacker, who'd applied and got the job, along with his fellow Irish backpacker. They were told it was only one staff vacancy, they could both do a day's unwaged training as a tryout and whoever showed most aptitude would get the job… Which was going to be cash in hand. So, these two set to, they were mates so it was a friendly,…

So recently I have noticed a big wave of head hunters trying to get me to leave my current job. The role/pay is significantly higher then my current job and considering these positions has been a bit overwhelming. When I walked into work today I over heard that one of our employees left for a high level director position, when (in my opinion) he had not that much experience in his role in the first place. I asked the director if this has been an issue with hiring/keeping people. He respond by saying that a lot of people are leaving for high level positions/pay with minimal experience. (Sorry for the lack of details;job position/company) Anyways, I chuckled a little bit because i am worried about taking on a new role because I don’t want to be set up for failure. Granted, I am experienced but I don’t want to end…

I work at a restaurant in Spain and I get paid by the hour. Every Sunday they send me my schedule for the week (so I can't ever plan ahead) but every day they make me clock in late because of many reasons. Usually I have to wait 30 mins, but there was 4 times I had to wait 1h. What do you think?

I just realized that I always kind of plummet or work not well when I’ve never gotten good feed back. And I also kind of wonder what kind of manager isn’t able to give credit when it’s due. I’m still struggling with the loss of a job I had for 4 1/2 years, and although I could have done a lot of things better, handled things better. I never had my manager acknowledge when I did good. Like I had to pat myself on the back a lot, and also no one in my small team ever gave me a shot out directly. I’ve only gotten shout outs from other team members.

Title says it all. I work at a diner and we've had a slow few weeks because of road works. Boss refuses to gross me up because he said that I'm not trying hard enough.

I am 'working' from home today. I tried to go in to the office but the chronic pain from a botched hernia surgery (which workers comp screwed me on) I underwent a few years ago has me curled up in a ball of misery and pain. I don't get sick leave and want to save my remaining PTO for this summer. So I am sitting at home on youtube binging Plainly Difficult and Mentour Pilot videos. I am all caught up at work and am left to manage my projects as I see fit, and any time I tell them I worked today will be compensated. Tomorrow morning I will go in and submit a log of my time 'worked' today and everyone will be happy.

If your time was accumulated, you’ve been going through stress and still manage to get all your work done, do you think that is a straight path to getting terminated? Essentially if you take a day off every week(time you worked for). I’m starting to think this is what did me in, although I got all my work done. I guess i didn’t think in retrospect a day here and there would be, problematic.
