He immediately started listing off all of the costs of operation and how they haven’t made a profit yet and they were just barely breaking even. This was after they gave me $200 worth of Amazon gift cards for working 11 hours straight that day and handling the event. I think I need to ask for a raise.

I’ll let you be the judge but I’m pretty sure this is textbook gaslighting. I got a new job, It’s delivering appliances for Lowe’s, but it’s down a contracting chain. Lowe’s gives the contracts to LCS or whatever, and then they hire contractors like my boss, who then go hire random people like me to drive box trucks and install appliances. It’s not an hourly job, I get $140 a day. The issue is I start at 6am and usually get off around 6pm, the latest I’ve gotten off so far is 1 am, yes the next day. Oh and my boss actually expected me back at work in five hours. I just said I didn’t sleep at all (I was smokin weed pretty late) and then he’s like “ ok see you tommorow. It will get better. I care about you I don’t want to see you out that…

Hey y’all, just curious of your thoughts on this. End of year reviews came around, and I did well. My boss wants me to become a leader in the store. That’s wonderful. However, she wants me to read a particular book to improve leadership skills. I am swamped at work (I work in a cell phone store, you all know how busy they get), and would have to take time out of my time off to read it. I am not interested in this book and I am a full time worker and a full time student. What are your thoughts on this? I want to tell her no, but I can’t figure out a cordial way to say, sorry, I won’t do that outside of work. She’s very much the work is family type, they are all wonderful people, but I will not be doing that on my own…
