I need guidance, am stressed.

To start out, I live in the state of Minnesota. During the course of the day, my supervisor was engaged in a lengthy conversation with me on the subject of the Titanic submarine that went missing recently, for a considerable duration of approximately six hours. Did literally nothing. Following this incident, my responsibility as the only employee here compelled me to open the store this morning and subsequently close the establishment today, as per my scheduled 12-hour shift, which I considered manageable. However, prior to her departure, my supervisor casually mentioned the possibility of my being required to work a full day tomorrow. (Another 12 hour shift, which is open to close, so 12 hours not including time it takes to close) Consequently, this would result in a demanding work schedule with four consecutive 12-hour shifts from Tuesday to Friday this week, in addition to the six-hour shift I already…

Started my new job’

Has all the perks! A 20 minute lunch. I hated that extra 10 minutes anyways Can’t leave site while on break. Not even to your car. Good thing I love being stuck in a factory all day! Mandatory overtime on the weekend so you don’t have anytime to spend with loved ones before you inevitably die (probably due to the cancer causing smoke produced my melting down plastic resin to create molds with)… Yes please! $15/hr for your single income family even though rent lower than $1k is literally nonexistent. I fucking hate it 🙂 my life is miserable and I have not enjoyed a second of it to this point

Boss had fake priest hear employees confessions

https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/254594/california-restaurant-had-a-fake-priest-hear-workers-confessions-labor-department-says This happened in 2021. It's hitting the news now because the Department of Labor issued a ruling favoring the employees last month. In addition to using a fake priest to spy on employees, the owners were using the money from the tip pool to pay the manager.

This thread is insane, stop forcing the consumer to subsidize the wages of the worker.

Performance based pay rise

My place of work gives out performance based pay increases, it works on the basis that you’re paid in increments as a promise to train on another area within the role and become more agile. Being a naive new starter, I have now accepted the highest increase for more training, but there are people on the team who are trained on the bare basics and paid a lot more. I’m a wuss – how do I word this to my manager to say I want the money for my work?! Don’t want to leave due to job security.

I didn’t know my rights back then. But what could I have done back then?

Many years ago I used to work at this job, which paid me great, but they were treting me literally like a slave. “You didn't meet your goal for the day? You don't leave until you done” (no OT paying) “I need you to come to work 1 hour early every day. You don't have things to do? Oh really? how about this?” (and they would come up with something stupid that literally they just invented. Basicaly, i was bullied and afraid to leave, because I had great salary. Now reading this sub, I understand I could have done many things. But the thing was, if I would have told them that I would sue them and that I have my rights as a worker, they would just fire me, with a reason that ” i wasn't doing my job well” and nobody could prove that it wasn't that way.…

Staying at my job for a long time has destroyed my career

My advice to those entering the workforce from someone who has been loyal to the same company for over 10 years: job hop!! Do NOT stay in one place too long. You don't get any kind of long term reward for staying with your job for a decade. The opposite actually, you get punished. New hires are coming in making what I make now after years (not bitter at them, it's a reminder work doesn't care about you) Another disadvantage is all of your professional references and experience get tied to just one place. This makes leaving incredibly difficult.

How to fuck my work place, because they want to fuck me out of my PTO.

Hi, I’m curious if anyone knows. So I started working for a shitting hospital with shitty pay and benefits. And when I started I guess somewhere I signed if I resign without a proper 30day notice I forfeit my PTO. Is that legal? (I’m in the state of VA). Does anyone know if I can fight this?
