I hate my coworker

She is very stupid. The only good thing about her is face and her body. She makes my shifts so much harder. Manager doesn’t care.

Change to PTO policy

My works PTO policy was that you can cash out unused PTO, but you have to retain 40 hours in the bank. As of 1/1, they’ve changed the policy to limit PTO buys to 100 hours/year. Their reasoning “we want people to spend more time with their family” I explained to the boss who covers the payroll people that even I can either take time off or cash out and have money to buy things, but not both and the whole concept was lost on him.

My job gave me 8 hours in total for this week lmao

What the hell im suppose to do with them having me work two days for only 4 hours for those days? I know I can file for unemployment. Couple questions: Will unemployment help me immediately? How would I know I’m fired or going to be fired for me to get full sum of unemployment? How would they justify giving me full sum even though I’m not fired officially yet? Do they notify job about me calling them? Never went through with it so I’m curious. Thanks

taking a personal day

I work for a major telecommunications company. I emailed this morning I needed to take off tommorow. With my company policy, a personal day differs from a “vacation day”. I get 40 hours of personal time per year. We got a new boss about 2 months ago. He makes fun of our accents, speaks condescending to us and continues to tell us how smart he is and how good he's been everywhere else he's worked. I didnt get a reply to the email(his preferred way of scheduling time off) He gives me the day off, (he has no option other than to do that) but then yells and tells me “this won't happen from you next year, YOU have put ME in a bind” I explained (didn't have to) I'm taking off because my power at my house is getting switched from overhead to buried, and this was scheduled by…

Never understood the point of putting down your salary expectations for a job you’ve never worked before

How about the companies put their salary ranges and we decide whether it’s good or not. I’m supposed to either lowball myself or price myself out of a chance for an interview? I hate the job market.

Rigged Survey

Had a survey at my warehouse that asked us what we wanted out of the job. Supervisor came back and said only 10% of people requested higher wages. But a bunch of people, far greater than 10%, said they put down higher wages. I guess it’s easier to tell us no to a raise if they lie about how many people wanted it.

Fair distribution?

Me and a Coworker (higher ranked) have had a decent system going on for awhile, one of us will come in late the other will leave early or vice Versa. Has been going on for awhile. The company we work for has been shafting us, with recent paycuts allowed legally through the route they took, changes in policies to avoid people leaving without paying back training costs (training is useless) and other various things such as promised payrises that never came to fruition. We have taken action through relieving ourselves of our duties earlier, without ever affecting our productivity due to the nature of work we do. Of course, we don't really care what others opinions are on it and know the risk v reward. If my higher ranking coworker is leaving a couple of hours early but I am only leaving an hour early, do you think I should…

I work casual in a restaurant and they put me onto the roster without asking for avalibility and denied when my co-worker told them they couldn’t work new year, what do I do

It's not the first time they did so. We also do get half cash in hand and other we get electronically but this only happened recently. I am thinking of quiting due to the poor work environment. The restaurants in a club but we don't technically work for the club and we don't even get weekend rates just a minimum wage for the whole week.

I don’t understand the concept of giving an employer the courtesy of a 2 week notice..

but when they want to fire people there’s no notice, as if we don’t have homes, bills & kids
