Got a new position in my current company in December. I asked if it came with a raise and my boss said he would find out. In March I asked if we do yearly reviews and my boss said he would ask. This week i put in my 2 weeks since I found another position.

Boss says “that's too bad sorry to see you go”. Calls me 2 day after to see why. Now his boss is asking me why I am leaving and I told him that I've asked twice and never got a response. Now they're scrambling to get me to stay.

My company reduced my hourly by 0.50 without notifying me.

Midlevel manager in a department of two. I report to the president. I am FT hourly and hired less and was to go up after a year.

My initial thought: Email HR/payroll and ask directly why this happened and how they plan on rectifying it.. thoughts??? I anticipate some bullshit answer, but I want to be prepared.

Manager asked me to work on planned leave

I planned to take leave this friday to take a trip with my family to celebrate mom and dad's anniversary. My manager already knew this since the beginning of the year. Unfortunately, a deployment is scheduled for the same day as my leave and it cannot be postponed. I messaged my manager asking who can take this up from my team and he replied that I should figure it out for myself. I work as a data engineer in a multinational company but our team has downsized from 20 to 6 people within the span of a year. I work alone since my whole team left the company and only have an associate to support me during times of need. Tldr; important project deployment coincides with the day of my planned leave. Manager asked me to figure it out but have no one on the team to support me. How…

Sorry, you don’t qualify to go on an unpaid leave yet.

I've been at my current job since December 2021. The pay isn't the best, but my benefits are really good. Back in January, I was made aware of a tumor in my jaw by my dentist. Biopsy confirmed its a cancerous tumor, which I had about a 3% chance of being diagnosed with. Since then I've been seeing various doctors coming up with a game plan to remove the tumor and reconstruct my jaw. My surgery has now been scheduled for April 21st, and I will have to be out of work for 6 weeks. I informed my supervisor who then told me I'd need to speak with HR to apply for FMLA. I went to see HR yesterday, just to be told that I need to be employed with them for a full year to qualify for FMLA. They told me I could apply for discretionary leave, which means…
