Currently working as a to-go specialist at the same chain restaurant for 3 years, making $10 an hour plus tip but recently I learned I was being underpaid thanks to the help of an ex-employee who got in contact with me. Try talking to my general manager hoping that she'll do the right thing and increase my pay. But instead of doing the right thing she tried to gaslight me by saying that the ex-employee must have lied and that it's impossible for anyone to make more than $10 an hour. So I spent the next couple of days contacting some ex-employees and sure enough, they all said they were hired at $12 an hour plus tip. One of them even went as far as to send me a picture of their old pay stub just to prove that they were making $12 an hour. I also made sure to…

I was let go today for making a small mistake. It was not communicated to me that I needed to improve or was on thin ice in any way shape or form. It was simply because my new manager did not personally like me, and he found an opportunity to let me go. To put icing on the cake I worked for a company that “cares about the people that work for them”, and it is employee appreciation day.

And guess what? Even tho i’m security and work for them, security wasn’t even included on the “food delivery” lists for yesterday and today. Are you fucking shitting me? In a company that could easily gove out monetary bonuses to ALL its emoloyees and they give us a fucking half assed pizza party? Ya’ll, enwrathed is not a kind enough work to express the rage i feel in my heart rn. I want to break literally every single fucking 1000$+ citgo computer in here. I’m so fucking mad. And they geto it of giving bonuses because oh, it’s not included in the contract. This is what i have to look forward to? Work until i’m cured of diabetes or kill myself? Fuck man. I’m tired. So so SO goddamn tired

No reason or explanation for the decision to non-renew my contract. I was probationary status, first year in this district, and they legally don’t have to give me a reason for firing me. All of my observations by the principal were outstanding. He even offered me a recommendation letter- but I’m also forbidden from ever working in the district again. Never heard even a whisper of criticism. How will I make it till June?!?! Would you quit now or teach through the rest of the academic year? I swear the district manipulates teachers to stay using the emotions of “it’s not fair to leave the children mid year, they’re innocent.”

My “boss” came out of the kitchen today demanding I move my car. I was extremely confused because it’s the same spot I’ve been parking in for over a year now. He turns to a bunch of customers at the bar with a smug “watch this” face and says “because your boss told you to move your car”. I outright reminded him that I’m parked in a public spot and unless he suddenly got the rules of his authority changed I’m going to keep parking wherever the hell I want as long as it’s legal. His argument is that customers should be able to park closer and that we lowly employees can park 2 blocks away in the public lot even today during a heavy downpour. Not a chance.

I've been struggling with my feelings about the heartbreaking (?) Story about a CEO underling getting fired. A part of me thinks these people should be the first to go to the back of the line if our society ever restructured itself. I've been unemployed, under paid and worked absurdly hard my whole life, and the vanguard of that experience was always somebody like him making sure I never had enough. What goes around finally came around and my well of sympathy has run completely dry. I'm not a vindictive person by nature, it hurts me to wish I'll will on somebody else, and I feel conflicted about it now even. I'm just not ready to forgive.
