I worked in a restaurant, they would keep cutting my shifts the day before and not tell me about it so I would find out on my own and have to message the manager. This happened about four times over the course of a month. My frustrations grew so I handed in my three week notice. Come the Saturday, they ask if I can work the scheduled Sunday shift at a different venue and by this point, I’d had enough of being messed around and assumed it was because they were cutting another shift, so I messaged the manager saying ‘I couldn’t give a fuck, pass it on’ Come the next day, the manager said that shift was going to be the last day, apologies bla bla bla. He was just passing a message on from the owners and I kind of felt pretty bad for him because he looked…
Hello everyone about a week ago I had a accident outside of work and sustained a grade 1 concussion. I went to the doctor and they told me to take it easy for a few days and advised me not to work. I got a note and sent it and my summary visit stating my injuries over to my work. I then asked my coworkers to cover the shifts I wouldn't be able to work (which I still have messages for) . I was unable to find coverage so I called in and let them know I wouldn't be able to attend. Today was my first day back and they wanted to write me up and discipline me for calling in sick. Is this legal for them to do even though I provided my documents? I live in Colorado if that matters.
My wife and I had the strangest experience at our local BK a while back. We had a mobile coupon for a BOGO free Whopper. We don't normally go to BK but hey, free food. We put in our order (two Whoppers) at the drive thru and before they gave me the total I mentioned I had the coupon. The cashier tells me that they don't accept coupons. So we go up to the window so I can show her that it is in fact a BK coupon on their app. She says she still can't take it and gets her manager. He says that they're a franchise and “not really Burger King” despite the fact that their signage and menu all say they are and that not all locations accept the mobile app coupons. We thought that was weird, but accepted his explanation…but since we didn't want to pay…

Why are middle managers so incompetent?
Got chewed the fuck out today by the evening manager because he tried to call me by the radio phone he was SUPPOSED to give me, but didn’t, then cussed me out when I tried to ask why he couldn’t own up to his mistake of not giving me the damn thing to begin with. Anyway, I fucking suck at writing, so let me finish this off with my take on a classic poem here: Clears throat Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime That’s why I poop on company time That was a poem from a simpler time Now boss makes a thousand, I make a cent Now I wonder where the money went In the future… Boss makes a million, I make jack That’s when I pitch, To eat the rich Thank you for sitting through this craptastic rant/post
On July 2, workers at a KFC restaurant in the rural town of Hartselle in northern Alabama carried out a walkout after working for more than six weeks without air conditioning. The walkout was led by the store’s general manager Ta Edwards, who was fired immediately by the restaurant’s operator, Tasty Chick’n LLC. The remaining employees were forced to return to work on July 5 after Tasty Chick’n falsely claimed they had repaired the restaurant’s AC unit. Tasty Chick’n LLC manages KFC franchises on behalf of Tasty Brands, which is itself owned by private equity firm Triton Pacific Capital Partners. Tasty Brands is one of many enterprises that have profited during the pandemic; between the fourth quarters of 2020 and 2021, its adjusted income rose from $2.9 million to $3.4 million. The walkout took place during a summer which has seen record-breaking heat waves in many parts of the country.…

Refusing to do any training
I'm an apprentice in a nursery and they are seriously a terrible company to be doing it with, I am constantly left on my own with 30+ children and the room leader does nothing but pretend she is manger level which she gets away with because she is friends with the manager. I am refusing to do any training for this reason as I don't want to continue my apprenticeship with them but can't find another setting to take me on.

Does Work Come Before Family?
I had recently posted on this subreddit about a resignation request email my work had sent me due to a 30 day vacation trip I was taking with my family. People were telling me I was insane for taking a 30 day trip after starting a new job and others were saying I have every right to do so. I am really that far gone off the rails into thinking that taking long family trips are okay? That I should still be able to keep my job?

My favorite BS work story
Was at a startup, and was asked to travel to NYC for work. Was not issued a credit card and put in a shit no-tell motel for 5 days. Called my boss who was staying at a Hilton down the street to pay the check in deposit and he responded “did you try to put it on your debit card?” I said yes and it declined (I was broke, had been out of work for a while.) he responded “just put it on your personal AMEX and I’ll reimburse you in 60 days.” I didn’t have a personal AMEX. He told me to get a personal AMEX or I would lose my job. Didn’t get reimbursed for almost 3 months.
