So me and a racist/sexist/vulgar supervisor who watches only me like a hawk told a melody of things to our boss to either get me transferred or let go. I don't want to be let go as I have been with the company for some years and I am waiting for tuition reimbursement and something else that could progress my career. She picks me out of anyone else and won't have a talk with anyone but me. I had 5 previous supervisors at the same company and have not faced the trouble she talks about and they have only written positive things about me. She keeps bringing up that I take too long of a break and I have a treatment I am going through that is the cause of that. She asked what was wrong in front of one of her friends and I told her it was personal…
When do you feel secure
Not sure this is a subreddit where a post like this will get answers, sympathy or jeers but here it goes. Note throughout writing this I struggled with whether “safe” or “secure” was more evocative of what Im attempting to describe…I went with secure, but safe could have worked too. In our system, in work life…when does one get to feel secure? I'm 43, well past the point in my career where 23 year old me would have assumed I would feel secure…and I dont. In fact, if anything, I feel less secure. As my income increases so do my responsibilties, as my assets increase so do my chores. At 23 I worry about me, at 30 I worry about myself and my wife, 35 worry about myself, wife and a house, 38 add kids to the list…43 add employees to the list. Feels like Im stacking cards on top…
Yeah so funny story i when to fast food place for a job. their sign literally saying despite need help all shifts please Apply. So I go in apply for the job the lady in charge interviewed me that day. So told me I'd be perfect and to call back tomorrow. So I do but when I called I got the classic. ” the person in charge of that is not in please call back later.” BS. The same day my friend asked me to go with her there for lunch, and when we got there we had to wait forever to place our order. We get up to the register the woman behind it is the same lady for interviewed me. She looked tired and apologized saying we're under staffed. She then has the nerve to say “if you girls or anyone you know is looking for a job…
Happy May Day Everyone!
As the title says and to be honest I am fucking livid. I told her I need less hours to start focusing on my school and she changed it today. The schedule starts tomorrow. I had 28 hours next week and she bumped me up to 40. I am so tired and I need this time.
I am an Assistant Manager and I have been an employee for 10 years. I have worked my ass off for this company, especially during the pandemic. We were short staffed (like everyone else) for months and months. We finally managed to hire a new employee who had experience a couple of months ago. I recently found out that this new employee makes significantly more money than I do. I have almost 20 years experience, and have been with this company for 10 years with excellent employee evaluations. While I understand it’s not actually illegal to discuss wages at a job, my company “forbids” us to talk about it. I am feeling so defeated. I have known for a long time that corporations are bullshit, but it still stings when you get slapped in the face. To make matters worse, I was told about the pay difference in confidence by…
