An idea to maybe achieve some change as a subreddit

So I was thinking whether it would be worth it to create a pinned thread, with links to either google,IG or Facebook platforms to flood with bad reviews businesses that have some short off offensive/illegal policy towards their employees. Imagine if like 300 of us it's time flooded their google page with 1 star reviews about them mistreating their staff members, would definitely give them a hit

Dumpster fire of a boss watching only me for no reason

I have been documenting my dumpster fire of a boss since I first started working in her office. She has been extremely sexist, sometimes racist (I'm not white but she is), graphic, rude, and favors men she finds attractive over women she envies. Every time I get up to go to the bathroom or get water is being monitored. I went on break with a male colleague she likes and I got reprimanded for going past 5 minutes but not him. She always laughs and smiles all the time while giving me a complaint as if she finds it absolutely hilarious. I told her I'd go to hr about the bathroom breaks and she was smiling the whole time. I actually went to a doctor and specialist for issues of going to the bathroom. I work for a gov contractor and have to take a poly next week but this…

Pay rise rejected because they want people ‘who are motivated by the great work and team, not just the money’.

I work for a large mining company. Upon signing my contract, I was promised a salary review 6 months in, as I knew others within my team earnt more and I had equal experience and qualifications as them. During my first 6 months, I've totally killed it. Managing a huge portfolio, getting great feedback from stakeholders and doing it all with a smile on my face. Today I was told by management (my 1 up and 2 up) that I wouldn't be getting a payrise (used an excuse of budget currently under review) and that, anyways, they wanted people to be motivated by the work they did and team they work for, not just money (imply I am greedy). This was communicated to me by 2 people who earn 2-4 times more than I do. What is an adequate comeback to this statement? I was gobsmacked.

My work is trying to get me fired to avoid paying for my vacation.

So I've recently put in a notice that I'm quitting my job. I have it timed just right to where I'll get my vacation check after I quit. They've been writing me up like crazy. A few more and I'll get fired and lose that check. I already have a second job making way more money, but that vacation check is gonna be very nice once/if I get it. Wish me luck!

Quit my job on Monday

So I (19m) just walked out of my job after 2 years of employment. I was working at a bike shop as a mechanic, and finally decided to leave because of the following reasons, and more: I had always been disrespected by my first manager there who was an alcoholic and would harass me at work. Halfway through my time there the old management was fired and replaced, however I encrypted having issues with me new people as well The first major issue with the new managers was that this January, they tried to fire me and ended up putting me on probation because of some issues that came up between me and my new manager, I’ll call him Mark. After I was out on probation I needed to save money so I tied the line for 3 months while saving money. However during this time my relationship with my…

I worked in a restaurant and we got a new HR person. They handed us all a packet of rules and policies etc.

They had some in English and some in Spanish. She handed a Spanish one to the quiet guy next to me. He said I can't read this. Me being blunt, sarcastic, practical joker, and never kissing anyone's ass by my nature. Shouted hey, That's racial profiling! Come on HR you should know thatl. This being the first time we ever met this person.
