Sorry I just wanted a place to vent, you’re more than welcome to scroll on.
I work as a graphic designer for a screen printing company, and

Worked a festival selling merch for them last weekend. Was promised things like food, water and breaks and from 6am to 6:30pm I did nothing but work and wasn’t allowed to sit. When I finally had a chance to eat a breakfast bar one of my bosses accidentally smacked it out of my hand and laughed it off and went oops sorry. He also ate my little Cheeto baggie that was sitting on my bag.

I did get paid for the festival, and was told I’d get paid but they paid me 2 dollars less than what I usually make in an hour. When I said why wasn’t I told the amount when I asked, I was told I never asked about the specific amount.

I had to report one of the owners who would do Japanese impressions for me (I’m chinese) would always have a hand on my shoulder when he came over to my desk to ask for help AND whenever we had company get together, and he had a few, he would constantly bring up my figure and in front of co workers go WOOoow Do YoU wOrK OuT? YoU mUsT! LoOk At ThAt BoDy!! When I reported him I was told that they took that kind of thing very seriously and I had their word they’d take care of it. Maybe it was my bad assuming it would be anonymous but they straight up just told him everything and name dropped me and it’s absolutely affected the way he treats me at work. They also originally wanted to have me sit with him and the two other owners to talk it out. Which I declined, I would’ve felt incredibly awkward being in a room with me and the three owners, one of which I reported.

Lastly, I got about 30 orders 2 months late the other day. When they were given to me to give out they told me these need to be done today, tomorrow and the next day. I straight up told them that the standard to finish an order is at least a week to do an order, and because these are being given to us so late the original deadline would not be met. I got chewed out and was told I had a bad attitude, and wasn’t a team player, and the correct answer would’ve been me taking them and agreeing.
I’m applying for other jobs, but man, I came into this company wanting to do my best and work as a team. Now I know that me working my ass off will only be rewarded with more work and bullshit.
