Since 2020 I’ve been stuck working 12 hour shifts and weekends sometimes. I’ve been a pushover from time to time and kept quiet but I’m over it. I’ve been working 8 hour shifts since the start of this year but in the past when I’ve left after my 8-hour shift my supervisor has talked about how we’re so busy and he would stay late if he could but he’s on salary so he doesn’t get paid for it. What’s a good comeback for that? Like this dude knew what he was signing up for when he accepted plant supervisor! I’m honestly done and when he sees I leave early he brings up his son working the 12 hours overnight. He made his son shift lead and like I said before, he knew what he signed up for when he accepted the pay raise and title! I’m just a trainer. What’s…

He tried to get me to agree to work 65hrs over the course of 5 days and I ended up telling him absolutely not but he does stuff like this all the time and makes veiled threats against my employment, but he only ever does it while on a phone call and never over text. I live in Tennessee in the united states, can I record that?

This 5'5 100lb 30 year old in my office became office manager (consulting firm) 6 months ago. As the Admin Assistant it is my unhappy job to work with him (or for him, as he sees it). He frequently rages out about things, and can't just have a simple discussion. His displeasure with the way I formulate a document, or the fact that I can't find someone to pick up recycling (???) will result in him getting red in the face and yelling at me. He has also caused rifts in other professional relationships, and we even had a contractor refuse to work with him. I would get out of here if I could, but the job market is so slow right now. Meanwhile, I dread coming to work. What should I do? I'm in Canada if that helps, and also he has been here for 2 years, and I…

I’m about to fly back to my city after being at my moms for Christmas break. I love being home, my sister and I hang out all day, we love each other and just have fun. When I am across the country I work and sleep, work and sleep. I’m literally sitting here in tears thinking about how much I don’t want to go back to that stupid life, where I am isolated from my loved ones on the east coast, have no energy after the work day, and no job security (this is an apprenticeship but no job is promised and it’s possible I’d never get one that was full time and could pay my bills. My long distance partner is in the same industry and called me this morning in tears because she hated her job and wanted to quit. I don’t know how I can support two…

I’ve had a rough 2022 and what’s shaping up to be an even worse 2023. I had a bad fall last year and fractured my tailbone and finger of which I am still dealing with the pain. I have also had an injured ankle that I have needed to attend physio appointments for. On top of this, I had surgery and a biopsy before Christmas which I just learned yesterday has shown I have a serious form of endometrial hyperplasia which causes cancer and will likely need a hysterectomy at a young age. On New Years Day my house was broken into while I was asleep upstairs and my keys, wallet and car were stolen so I’m pretty shaken from this. Add on the mounting serious health issues and my fear of another break in to my pre-existing anxiety and depression and I’m having a pretty bad time. I work…

Do us all a favor. After an insulting interview at a company. Go on Google and leave them a shitty review if they deserve it. Not only do the rest of us slaves deserve to know, decent customers would like to know as well.
