Company forgets to give me pay stubs, and shorts me on my pay check…parents insistent that I keep my job because “every company is like that”.

Title basically says it all. I (m18) work as a dishwasher at a ski hill and this happens everytime. I’m just so fucking pissed off and fed up but just like every other job I’ve had I’m chained to it. Any advice?

Nothing exasperates me more than being called in during vacation to work on a ‘big emergency rush’ only to see the product sit around for a week before being delivered…

I had scheduled for 2 additional days off after xmas to spend time with my wife and kids. On my last day off I am sitting at home finishing my breakfast about to spend some time playing video games with my wife and my phone rings. It is my boss, the owner of the company. He is telling me 'the customer is really beating us up over these parts and we really need your help!'. So being the dipshit I am I pack up my shit and go in (thankfully the commute is less than 5min) and get the programs and drawings over to the machine shop after a few hrs. So I go back home and come in the next day and the shop has finished the rush parts and they are sitting waiting to ship (this was the 29th). Friday night the parts are still sitting there waiting…

FTC Proposes Ban on Worker Non-Compete Clauses

https://www.vice.com/en/article/88qjjz/ftc-proposes-ban-on-worker-non-compete-clauses ​ From the article- didn't see it posted here and immediately thought of this sub when I saw it. ” The Federal Trade Commission proposed a rule banning non-compete clauses, contracts which prevent workers from joining competing companies after they leave their job, on Thursday morning. The agency stated that non-compete clauses harm healthy competition in the labor and product markets and block entrepreneurship, and estimated that the rule could increase workers’ earnings by almost $300 billion per year. “

My Boss planned on firing me, I quit before he got the chance, and now he is begging me to stay

This, as all others, is a complicated story, but I'll do my best to explain it. I'm a young, well experienced diesel mechanic in an area of extreme demand. There has been zero performance issues on my end in the short 3 month period of me working with this company. Early this week, my Boss planned a job for me (transmission in a heavy truck) but never directly told me to start on it. Out of nowhere he stomped into the shop and proceeded to scream at me for doing another, equally important task. After explaining what and why I doing, he told me to start on the other job. No big deal, his temper flared, shit happens. As always, I dropped a few applications to other companies in search of a better/more desirable work. On of those places, an indirect competitor, had me come to an interview. Another employee…
