Hi guys. Backstory, i work for health insurance. Part of my job is to forward and filter information from different departments. Sometimes I get too enthusiastic and try to go the extra mile, but I think I’m pissing my boss off and not sure if I should just do the bare minimum and keep to myself. Anyways, today I got some information from another department and figured I’d let my boss know so that my colleagues could avoid making the same mistake I did. I sent this email to my boss in a haste (along with the attached information from the other department), and i feel like I rubbed her the wrong way more than anything. Hi Rita , I wanted to bring this to your attention. There are claims in the system that are showing xx denial when they are actually denying for xx. They appear to be all…

Title sums it up. I'm a Gaming Technician at a tribal casino. Basically all workers on the casino floor that interact with the customers (attendants, technicians and cocktail servers) are tipped employees. The drink servers keep their individual tips, naturally, but the Attendants and Techs have a tip pool that is split between us. Before, the split was: $5k off the top automatically goes to the attendants and the remainder was split 75/25, 25 percent being for us. This was offset by techs having a higher base rate plus more hours of overtime, generally. Just off the gaming floor is the bank, or cage as we call it. It's a legit on site bank, and their entire job stays within the confines of their rooms, with literal bars on the windows and a sort of “airlock” they have to enter it with, I.E. like a cage. Relaxing in chairs watching…

Hello all! Today I was called up by the person in charge of my company’s finances. They were questioning my per diem expenses and asking me about my meals. I had lunch and dinner because I intermittent fast and do not eat breakfast. I also do not eat simple carbohydrates and when I am out on travel I have to get two meals to get adequate amount of calories. They were telling me that the meals looked as if they were for two people. I was also $15-$20 under my company’s per diem allowance for that day so I feel like it’s odd and somewhat unethical. Why would our company give us a daily per diem food allowance and then question us even when we are still under it? Maybe I’m in the wrong but I think it’s really weird that I stayed under my daily allowance per diem and…

I don't know if this is the right sub to ask, but what's actually to stop someone from putting that they went to an Ivy league university, or have a masters instead of a bachelors degree on their resume or application? Unless you're applying to a government job or some super old school strict company, I've never seen most places verify where someone has went to school or references anymore? If you're in a very specific field like doctor, lawyer, scientist, maybe, but what about standard tech, business, marketing, sales jobs, etc.? Hell, I'm a hiring manager at my current company and all we do is look at portfolios and past experience, nobody gives a F where someone went to school or what degrees they have unless it is some world renown program that everyone has heard of. If we like your work, that's kind of all that matters. No…

Need to vent and maybe crowdsource ideas for where to go next. I’m a Case Manager in a large US city and it’s rough out here, folks. Too many cases to manage, too much crisis work, and not enough money or time or support. I’ve told this to my direct boss multiple times and she agrees that the job is complex and overwhelming, but she’s not in a position to change the system. Just this week they assigned me 5 new cases, and there’s just no way I can even begin them without some relief, which is not coming. It’s all piling up. My bf has been pestering me to quit for a month now, and I’m almost there. I’m worried about our finances and quitting without another job lined up is hard for me to grapple with. I’ve worked in a bunch of different industries at this point (teaching,…

I spent the later half of my 20s going to school to get an engineering degree. Now that I am in the “professional” ie. Exempt from overtime pay per flsa, I don't see the benefit. Sure I get paid more, but I work more as well. To me, I would rather take a job with less stress that pays me for my hours. Are any other “professionals” tired of this? Based on 40 hours I make 37.50, but if I work overtime it diminishes. For instance working 60 hours in a week my hourly comes to 25/hr. Which is less than I made as a technician, if I worked 60 as a technician I would make far more in a check then as an engineer. Makes me wish I never got the degree.
