This sub has been manipulated from an AntiWork/Workers rights sub to a steam valve for people to vent and get validation rather than organize and put an end to the oppression of workforce fuckery. The elites let us have our place to bitch and release the pressure so it doesn't build something dangerous and explode in their smug little bitch faces. Nice job corporate shills. Doing fucking excellent at keeping the workers of the world in their place.
I was employed by the same company for 27 years. A few years ago I got an email from my boss during my vacation, “call me as soon as you can”, I called him up and he told me that his new boss had decided to transfer me from my 10 minute commute location to one 45 minutes from my home. The reason was, “he felt with your experience, your current location wasn't enough of a challenge”. I asked if I could refuse the transfer and he said, “you could quit.” As I had a family to support, that wasn't an option so I returned to work but insisted to my boss that if I was spending more on gas and wear and tear on my vehicle to come to work that I should at least be compensated for that. He said it sounded reasonable and he would take it…
I was involved in a car accident on the way to work today and my first thought was “oh crap now I’m going to be late.” Not making sure I was okay, the other driver was okay, the vehicles were good. Just panicked about being late to work. I hate how engrained it is to prioritize work over everything else that work was my top concern in that moment. It really shouldn’t have been.
, and more specifically employee / employer interactions that are reported, would easily have the company brought to court and sentenced to pay tens of thousands of euros in compensation to the employee. I've lived in North America before but never worked there, thanks God, and I'm honestly baffled by most of the stuff I come across daily on this sub.
i’m a waitress at a local sushi restaurant and in the morning i am the only server. this couple comes in and the man orders scallop & steak teriyaki okay great. it gets made and i bring it out, everything is good. the teriyaki comes w a salad and side of steam rice. i come back a little later and he had mixed feelings everything into a bowl and telling me that it looked small. i told him it’s the same amount it always is to which he said he comes here all the time and it looked small, i offered to talk to the chef but the man said no. he just kept saying it was small and i asked again if he wanted me to talk to the chef or do anything and he said no he just wouldn’t come back. okay don’t give a shit. then later…
