Well corporate rich people stole again.

So I bartend at a place at we get what is called a “shift pay” which is 100 dollars just for being there. Well that has apparently gone out the window and now we are going to be making 2.25 an hour. And since I am not technically an employee I don’t get the safety net of covering to the 7.25 if the hours and pay don’t equal out. YAY! What’s a super slap in the face is the new GM and one of the three owners looked me dead in the face and told me “we are easing the price of stuff on the customer so we don’t decrease the amount we are paying you. And that was only a month ago… wanting to charge 6 dollars for a bottle water and shit. It’s fucking theft and now I am the one being stolen from for what? So they…

No more leaning

I work at a hospital as a room service associate. Meaning I deliver food to patients. We aren't allowed to sit while we wait for trays nor are we allowed to “stand around” meaning we have to constantly be finding something to do. This is fine. Recently, our boss has added a new rule “no leaning on the counters” doesnt matter if we walk for 8+ hours (some working 12+) we aren't allowed to lean. I feel this is a bit much? Sorry if this doesn't fit, first time posting.

I feel so trapped.

I work in Customer Success and I've been in this new company for about 4 months, the thing is I really dislike it. I'm fed up of dealing with people and their demanding attitude. I've worked with the public for the last 8 years and it's just hit me with this job now, I'm no longer able for it. I have a heavy workload and I'm constantly stressed. Wage isn't that good, 32k Euro. I'm saving nothing. My worry is it may look bad leaving a Job after 4 months. People I work with are nice, but boring. I'm based in the office and it just crushes my soul. I feel numb.

It is wild to me that companies will spend time to validate doctor’s notes. This seems like an unhealthy practice.

It’s nice to see companies starting to show the salary in the job post, but this kind of thing is not helpful at all.

I asked Microsoft’s ‘new Bing’ to write me a cover letter for a job. It refused, saying this would be ‘unethical’ and ‘unfair to other applicants.’
