I work as a Personal Trainer at a small gym. I’m new to the field; not much experience, but plenty of education on the matter. Recently, I’ve been feeling like my bosses (husband and wife duo) don’t trust me to do my job correctly. Examples: Took two of my clients away (essentially took away a week of work from me) without prior notice to do personal training with them theirselves. They have cameras with microphones in the gym (I’m ok with a camera because who wouldn’t want it in there for security reasons). I know they are watching me when it’s my shift to teach a group class or a client because they will text me while I am working my shift. One text happened recently. Had a new client come in for a group class. I tell the other participants to warm up on the cardio machines for 5…

Is work-ptsd a thing? If so, I'm sure i have it. This is my second post about my current workplace and it seems the agenda to push me out is in force since the confrontation about my commission. Now they're going after my rostered days off. Because my (currently in chemo) supervisor is a close friend of the family, i hesitantly agreed to allow the 'standard' eleven day fortnight roster on my contract. She assured I'll get to keep my 2 days off a week. (Essential for medical appointments and mental health peace) Now that she's away, the dictatorship has decided they want to make me work an additional day a month and have said I'll lose pay for the extra rostered days on that i don't attend. I'm sorry but the law (for NSW) is 7 days notice in writing with the opportunity to discuss/resolve issues, which I've not…

Hey there antiworkers. Today I put in my unofficial notice that I'm leaving my gig as a retail assistant manager at one of the Big 3 grocers in Canada. (Hint, it has the word “OBEY” in the name!) Anyway, goodbye forever, you horrible green bastard. They like to throw around the slogan “we all deserve compliments”. NO, no, you do not deserve compliments and you will not be getting any in this post. I was pretty unhappy for a while but kind of running on autopilot and honestly found myself too tired/busy to even really recognize how burnt out I was. A series of events in the last couple months led to me finally just snapping and rage applying anywhere I could. A few weeks into my search I landed a job as a sales rep for a smaller local business that handles supply for restauraunts/foodservices. I start in two…

I currently work for a large company doing work of a legal nature. My coworkers are unreliable and cannot perform their work within the (very generous) 72-hour window given by management. Management doesn’t seem to enforce this and frankly has a very nepotistic relationship with one of their subordinates who lives near them. Our entire team works from home. I have an opportunity to get a better job with different management, but it isn’t work from home 100% (work from home Monday and Friday). All other things being equal, which is better: competent management/coworkers or work from home?
