I have needed Tuesdays off for therapy for about two years now, and when I submitted my application that was the only day I marked as unavailable, the rest of the week I put open availability. Stupidly, I was honest with my boss about why I needed my Tuesday and doubly stupid I told her my appointment time (early morning). It was Monday night, it was just me, her, and another associate closing. She asked my co-worker to come in Tuesday because we had a call out and she said she couldn't do it. My boss turned to me and told me “I know you can make it by 1pm, and if not I'm making it your responsibility to find someone to cover for you”. Cover for ME? Like I'm the one who called out right? I told her I flat out couldn't do it, and she just laughed and…

So i recently quit a job that was under paying me by $5.50/hr. I was working my local store (I'll leave the store unnamed for now) and I was working in a total of 4 departments. I had found my title was actually too be something called “Replenishment Manager.”. As the work I did, was under the job description of that title. That title paid $18+/hr. I was making $13.50. After making this discovery, and on a day I was being asked to both work the dairy truck, frozen truck and close and clean meat department. I stated that I would like to discuss my pay. The AM first statement was “we don't discuss pay.”. After adamantly stating that yes in fact we do and will she popped out the mouth “You are out on the sales floor, you hush!”. Afterwards, tried telling me she is on our side. I…

Is anyone else following the DG store manager on tiktok @alwaysmrsgrundel as she’s exposing dollar general and has now been fired. i really hope this is how so many people will finally have their eyes opened to the facade of stores “being understaffed” but they won’t allow managers to give more hours and all the horrible things they’re doing to save their bottom line!!

I am not sure how I'm gonna put this all together so please hear me out Idk how to feel about my manager, he doesn't yell at me for making mistakes, he usually just talks to me casualy, he can be nice to me, but annoying. but he can make me uncomfortable in other ways as well, I feel as if I can't take a day off after I got promoted, because he complains, because we don't have enough people so he'd have to take my shift, but he never takes days off either so why should I complain? In February I requested a day off a week after valentines (because we were beyond busy and I needed a break) and he gave me crap for it because it was his weekend to watch his kids, now I have to also not take certain days off just so he can…

I'm posting for the first time in a long time after discovering this subreddit, and respect all the information everyone has been sharing so far. It's truly inspiring! My contract ends on April 30th as an adjunct prof at a local university, and I've decided not to renew in the fall. I've found out that my department is basically grooming a current grad student to take over my classes.. while also developing new courses for her to teach. Meanwhile I've been begging for more opportunities for the past 3 years. I'm one teaching term away from being eligible to get medical benefits, but even then I have to apply and it's not a guarantee. I've been teaching here since 2018 and genuinely thought it was my dream job. But I'm just sad and exhausted every day. I got my Masters to be able to teach, and based on performance reviews…

I have been working in academia for the past 8 years as an Assistant Professor. The pay is minimal, we have 6 days of classes and plus a lot of administrative work. Although we're expected to work 40 hours per week, we have to put in atleast 60-70 hours easily. The management is terrible and expects us to publish at least three articles per year. To add to this, our increment is tied to the number of publications. We've not received any increments for the past three years, despite publications, citing covid as a reason. I have a one year old child and I am unable to spend enough time with him because of the nature of my work. My students are the only factor preventing me from quitting immediately. I have recently received four offers from private organizations. They are offering a minimum of 40% hike in pay, unlimited…
