A few years ago when I worked in lower level management at a small food franchise. We employed delivery drivers and we had recently hired this girl, now she wasn't the best at her job shes a fucking delivery driver for a deli so who could really fault her. She had previously experienced health issues so she was very observant of how she was feeling. One day in particular on the clock she goes to our GM ( who mind you is an intense Libertarian) and lets him know that she is in terrible pain and needs to go to urgent care, he says that will probably be fine but just let him know when she'll be coming back… umm okay dude Hours later i get snapchats from her roommate in the ER, i guess urgent care told my coworker to immediately go to the hospital because something was seriously…

I just concluded a job selling cars for a used car super store chain, you can imagine if you think big. You'd think that after selling a F350 for more than $100,000 I'd bave my 'nut' and could call it a day. But the flat rate commission we work on, makes it impossible to make more than $350 on ANY CAR. That's $350 if you sell the car, and every accessory we offer. The congratulations for getting one out was always ,”Go get another.” “Not good job, what worked, what didn't.” You know, the things you'd say to develop a sales team. Now comes the fun part. Did that customer walk in fresh and virgin? Or did they contact the store at any point in the previous month to do anything as insignificant as ask for store hours? If they spoke to anyone at our call center, that customer's commission…

For example I work my job where it is just above minimum wage, and have some extremely long hours and overtime. It is often physically laborious, can have health hazards, having to deal with public sucks, the resources we need are not always there to get everything done properly, and on paper looks like a shitty deal…literally half my day i spend cleaning up literal poop too. My job title itself, after a promotion, sounds fancy and like I'm making bank when I'm getting 14/hr, minimum wage here being 13. Did I mention it requires a 4 year bachelor's stem degree at minimum? however it is my absolute dream job; I never expect to make a lot of money/ get a raise because we are a non profit, we run on donations and it's not a big evil corporation. It's a small team of earnest, loving, cooperative people trying to…

My current job was unwilling to work with me on my school schedule when I asked for 6 hours less per week, so I talked to my old job (left caz I didn't wanna work dine in during covid) and they're giving me 26-32 hours a week and 5 days at most!! I am very happy right now.

Okay, so I work at a major home improvement store- graveyard, freight. Schedules are supposed to be out on Saturdays. Since the new year started, no one is on the schedule. They have been leaving it blank. When you clock in it says uoure not scheduled, yhen you have to tupe in why youre there and who approved it. You show up if there's a truck otherwise, it's your choice to come in (but you don't know until last minute if they call). I don't know where or how to check if trucks are coming I've asked for a consistent 3/4 day schedule which I am happy to supplement should they need extra hands (my first 2 months were a consistent schedule) They want me to check in every day to ensure there's a Truck. Some nights, the truck never shows, so you sit around I don't do ANYTHING with…

I work for a small privately owned road management company, it's fun, decent work but the pay is literally minimum wage for those of us who work the manual labor and the traffic control, the 2 most dangerous jobs. In the past while asking about raises, I was told that I am working a starter position and that I get paid according to that, even though my job is one of the most dangerous. Well I had a fun time last night when my paycheck came through, they underpaid me by 16 hours… 16 hours of overtime… that is just over $500 that they underpaid me, now I'm gonna have to go through a giant struggle to get it all worked out. I'm meant to be traveling this weekend. So much for that.
