I really want to go on a work trip to an expo a supplier is having. They're offering complimentary travel and hotel but my manager refuses even though there is a procedure to get it approved if there's no conflict which there isn't. She doesn't want to spend our company's money on it because she doesn't think there's enough business justification. So she doesn't want to pay or let them pay. I personally don't care I just want to travel. Can anyone suggest a good corporate speak business justification for me going? Basically it's one of our top 5 suppliers having a customer expo on supply chain solutions. I work in supply chain, in procurement. I told her I thought it was a good idea because we can learn how to better utilize them as our strategy involves expanding them to other locations in the country. That didn't convince her…

So, basically I'm living in a house that is undergoing a sale from one landlord to another. The house has been shown since November and only recently got a buyer and they inspected the house and came over twice. Anyway, my landlord texts me and says she's going to continue showing the house just in case and with 24 hours notice she can do anything she wants. I have a nervous dog and I work 5 days a week, so I have to leave work to get her and bring her home after, which is highly inconvenient. This is the exchange between me and LL after she cancelled 30 mins before the appt, AFTER rescheduling it twice: https://preview.redd.it/8mnqm4ciflga1.png?width=828&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=8c56ef9847ad1b0f28798a9caa476a949730ae62

The goal should be LESS hours, not DIFFERENT hours. My job used to be the 8 hour workday, 5 day workweek situation. A couple years ago we switched over to 10 hour days and 4 day weeks. I hate it because my quality of life has gone down. You think it sounds good because you’re only thinking about the weekend, but let me tell you, I now understand what it really feels like to “live for the weekend,” and it is miserable because during the week I am basically dead. 2 extra hours per day of my physical job is exhausting. I’m more tired than ever. I fall asleep earlier. I wake up earlier. I get less sleep overall. My slept schedule is so fragile now that it gets messed up easily. I see my friends less because I’m either taking a nap, sleeping, or working whenever they do things,…

As part of my employment agreement, I can receive up to an additional 20% of my salary ( actually 25% if metrics out of my control like overall financials are met)in a bonus if I meet some predetermined goals I’ve the course of the year. Just found out I received full marks on my goals for the year should mean a full bonus check right? WRONG. “Company financials while higher than last year did not meet the anticipated goals of the shareholders and therefore everyone will be receiving half of 50% of their bonus.” DO THE AGREED WORK, FOR THE AGREED PAY AND NOT AN OUNCE MORE.

I defriended all my coworkers on Facebook because my personal life is none of their business. They all took it fine except my boss. He has started treating me like shit ever since. I think he just wanted to track me. He’s a trump, gun loving sociopath. I hate his guts. I’ve always hated his guts.
