Antiwork

So lately I’ve been clocking in 15 minutes early so that I can clean my van windshield and see properly. Seeing as that’s a safety hazard and something amazon is has liability for, am I legally clocking in early. In addition, my dsp makes us clock in at a time where we couldn’t realistically do our pre checklist on our vans and get ready for our route in time. Who can I contact to show that I am actually working during those times?

I applied for a job and went through 3 stages of interviews. Felt pretty confident I'd get the job. A week later they call up and I can't make this up. They said, “Hello (My name). We've been reviewing our tetris board and can't fit you on there so unfortunately you won't be working with us.” My only response was, “Sorry, what? You're…playing tetris? Shouldn't you be working on applicants?” “Yes, we are, and with our tetris board -” “So you're treating your whole application process like a game? Good to know, thank you.” Hung up. ​ People don't really think before speaking sometimes.

Title says it all. I'm a recent college graduate (7 months ago) and I just had my first day at my second job since graduating and am feeling hopeless. I studied journalism but have limited experience compared to many of my peers which makes job hunting difficult. I struggled with my mental health in school and it made the prospect of seeking challenging opportunities paralyzing. My new job isn't in my field and after my first day I know it isn't for me. I know I'm smart and capable but between ridiculous job standards and my own limited experience I'm struggling to find worthwhile jobs. To anyone who has lied on a resume and gotten a job, did you experience repercussions? Were you able to fake it until you made it? Thanks for any and all advice or experiences! It's nice to have a place to talk about this kind…

My company actually has decent benefits. Health insurance, raises, bonuses, all major holidays off and paid, free shoes, it’s the most of any company I’ve personally worked for. There’s just one issue. I’ve been a temp for 5 months, am way beyond my 300hr sign on period, and I keep being given the runaround for why I’m not permanent yet. Every excuse is total BS and I’ve called them out on it, but it’s always just “ok let me see what I can do and I’ll get back to you”. They never get back to me. So I get back to them, and it’s always a new BS excuse. Wash, rinse, repeat. And of course, no surprise, since I’m a temp, I get NONE of the aforementioned benefits. From the time I should’ve been signed on, I should’ve gotten new shoes, pay for Thanksgiving & the day after, Christmas Eve…

A week, two?

So I started my first office job about 4 months ago. First 2 months were ok kinda slow. The person who trained my had quit so I was kind of left on my own without anyone to monitor my work. I didn't slack or was being lazy, just not properly trained. So this coworker and I have the same job title, except she's been at the company for 4 years and therefore has more experience. She and I get called in my bosses office and boss decides to grill me and accuses me of not checking my emails. She goes over my emails and asks me what I did with them. My coworker was standing next me points out little mistakes to add even more fuel to the fire. Thats when I know she was the one to tell on me because she had access to my emails while I…

To give an overall background, I work for a medical company. A multi billion dollar medical device company. Privately owned by one person. Shit wages, like they recently raised the minimum wage to $15 an hour, but before that they were paying people 12, 11, even 10 an hour. So they raised the minimum to $15 an hour, but basically froze raises. They brag every chance they get about how they are becoming an xx billion dollar company by this year, how good we are doing, but pay us shit. Lots of unhappy people in the company, they are hemorrhaging workers like no other. Chick-Fil-A will pay you the same amount they will pay a machine operator with 5 years experience. I know because, well read further. Recently, as one of their tactics to keep people, they sent out an email containing a spreadsheet, that would tell you your “ACTUAL”…
