hidden overtime

just a story i figured you all would appreciate – I worked at as a hotel front desk person for about 9 months last year, after having only ever worked in manufacturing my whole life. The job was easy, fold laundry, answer the phone, check in guests, fill the little store. Some nights were hard, but that's just how work is. It was all great until we got a new third shift person. She would never show up on time, and sometimes not show up at all. After having texted my boss (and hers) about this, several times, and having the assistant general manager come in to cover her, and complaining to him, I finally had enough and decided to just work my scheduled hours. I would leave at the end of my shit, come hell or high water, and whatever happens after that isn't my problem. Needless to say,…

Ass kissing coworkers put together an “employee appreciation” gift for management

I work in a department with really shitty management. About half of the employees have realized the depth of how bad things are because they have either experienced it firsthand or saw a coworker treated badly. The other half of the employees are more unaware of the fucked up things that have happened behind the scenes, despite the fact that people are quitting left and right. Everyone is remote which makes it a little more difficult to share what's going on. Chat and email are company managed. A couple weeks ago, one of my coworkers suggested we do something for management because they felt bad that they didn't receive anything on Employee Appreciation Day. I was a bit baffled because that is more for bosses to show appreciation to their employees, not the other way around. They suggested sending gift cards and I pointed out that its not really ethical…

I was fired for staying home while infected with COVID-19 (which I got from work). My final paycheck came and I wasn’t paid for the time I was sick. How to email HR?

Please, anyone who confidently knows the FMLA laws / labor laws in the US, let me know a professional and polite way to request my wages. I don't want to anger them, I just want the money. Thank you. https://www.dol.gov/agencies/whd/pandemic/ffcra-employee-paid-leave#_ftnref1 I think this explains how I'm entitled to the pay. Edit: …. people are saying this expired. I was advised by an attorney to email them requesting these wages but apparently this isn't the law anymore? I'm pretty crushed by this information.

I work in a production facility for cannabis edibles. There’s constantly a strong sewage smell in the kitchen and management does nothing about it. It’s to the point where it makes you want to throw up. Is this a violation of some sort? What should I do?

Thank you everyone.

I've been unhappy in my job for a while now. My managers are friends with my colleague so he often disappeared for hours on end leaving me to do the work this happened for over a year. They kept employing people who didn't want to do the job and I ended up having to sort it out myself which normally ended up with me having to do the work. I asked for so many transfers only to be ignored by the higher upand of course there's a ton of other problems I can't really be bothered to type out But tonight was the final straw. I called my manager and said “i dont want to be here, I'm leaving and I probably won't be coming back.” Feelsgoodman.jpg Just want to thank everyone for your stories(good and bad) it really gave me the strength to finally say enough is enough and…
