One day I just stopped going.

I used to work for Llyods bank in the UK (Wales). I was in phone banking. The turnover rate was well above 40%. Half of my team left within the first 8-10 months on the job. I should say the racism and the verbal abuse was intense, it occurred everyday multiple times to the point where your psyche could no longer ignore and cope with it. Our schedules changed every week. One week you could be working from early mornings, and the next from late afternoons, so your sleeping pattern was constantly being unbalanced and your body could simply not adjust. Off days were spread out. We almost e never got 2 consecutive off days. My team was also expected to create a WhatsApp group and chat during off days and even grab drinks. If you did not do that your teammates would ostracize you and would badmouth you to…

Ok, how can I ace this Taco Bell General Manager interview today?

Title. It's at 330pm today. I've done food service in the past, and had other management roles but I want to make sure I get this job. I want to be able to unionize the fuck out of that place. I'm already signed up with the IWW since January. Any tips would be appreciated!

Boss has full unadulterated control of schedule – changed ALL my day hrs to when I said I was unavailable

I started this job about a month ago, I have a prior post about it, but things just feel like they've gotten worse. Originally, I was scheduled for 9:30am to 6pm, I catch a bus across the street at 6:26pm and it was fine for about three weeks. Last saturday, my boss at (Woodwill), let's call her Blancy, pulled me aside to talk. Blancy builds her own schedules. Every day of the week she “comes in early” by herself at 7:30am and leaves at 3:30pm. No other employees are scheduled until 9 or 9:30. We aren't open Sundays because of company reasons and she leaves early whenever a Friday is nice outside and gives herself Saturday off so she can have the weekend to herself.

Companies Can’t be pro-climate change reform/”go-green”, and want to go back into the office

Apologies if mixing two bags here. The company I recently left was all about “GREEN GREEN GREEN”, it was all bullshit just to appease to the younger crowd and to a company over the pond they merged with. stupid ass memo's they shared how to “Go Green”… meanwhile I left because they forced everyone back into the office this month. Half their employees work downtown the major metropolis i'm near, the other half works just outside. I went out to a store this week around 4p, somewhere i needed to drive on the highway towards the city. HOLY SHIT the amount of vehicles that were out was ridiculous, BOTH WAYS. Even on the back streets everything was busy busy busy. I immediately thought to myself “yep this is why they want us back, drive more, waste gas, kill the environment”. Towards the beginning of the merger in a few company…

Employer asked for my schedule so they could do phone interview. Offered 3 two hour slots and then they ghosted me. Today I get a “sorry for the delay but can you give me your availability for next week?” Just curious what thoughts on this.

I was overpaid $12,000 on my first check

So I was overpaid by $12,000 and I know it's too much for them to not notice but how do I cover my ass so I don't have to pay any taxes next year on those overpaid wages? I still have not cashed the check.
