Can Americans keep their toxic work culture in their country instead of spreading it to mine ?

I’m living in France and actually with no job, while I looked at the work lists on Pole Emploi (an institution that helps you find a job and give you money while you’re searching) I saw things that I never saw a few years ago. Let me list some things : – The usuals : we’re a family, we look for passionate people not money grabber etc… the ones you basically see on this sub or you might know irl. But then there is something in France that we make fun of, it’s franglish. Basically it’s the way of speaking both french and English at the same time or using some English words in your french sentence. The satire we usually do became true. Slashing, numeric nomad, digital office or even FLEX OFFICE, and many terms that finish with -ing at the end. I see franglish everywhere on the lists.…

I’m a skilled tradesman who is supposed to get a $3000 bonus at the end of the year for making the company $150,000 in profit, per my contract. I doubled it, which is supposed to increase my bonus. This is what I received. 100% done with this industry.

Owners didn’t want to give me what I deserved, now they are about to lose a $3M contract because I resigned.

I am a young Project Manager for an unlimited commercial GC. I picked up a hammer for the first time 6 years ago (no prior experience). I was raised believing if you work hard and apply yourself you will be successful. For 2 years I learned everything that I could in the construction industry. Took my work home with me and studied on my own time to better myself. For that I was promoted to foreman. I was brought into take over a small project at a 12 building 120 unit condo complex. It started small and the Board of Directors for the HOA told me they loved my professionalism, work ethic, and ability to complete projects on time, and under budget. We won a big contract because of that small project. That was3 years ago. I have since taken over the job of foreman, superintendent, & project manager. I…

Manager steals tips; one upvote and he gets my 2 weeks today.

Edit: I am going to quit tonight. Not even finish my shift. He’s getting my keys and uniform and im gone. Thank you guys for the words and the help! I’ve been working since I was 14 under incredibly shitty bosses so I never realized how illegal his actions were. I’m going to call him out tonight and leave during my shift. I truly do appreciate you guys. Ill update it when i do quit :)! Sorry for the format, I am on a phone. Your guys’ favorite thing to hear. I recently started work at a pizza place in Washington state. I should’ve known my interview was a red flag when the entire time my manager talked about his medical issues. A delivery driver ended up quitting a few weeks after I started because of the verbal degradation our manager was giving him. ‘This boy went to college but…

Invigilating exam – Staff looking to cheat.

I work at an educational establishment. There are exams going on and I've over heard things that would be considered cheating. My manager gets results and his bosses are happy with the results, but these seem to be contributed to the expectation that nobody will fail, even poor students. I'm due to invigilate an exam with another teacher from the department and overheard the manager say to a group of students that he will get them a copy of the exam paper a hour before the exam. I due to collect the papers from a certain staff member at a set time. My manager has contacted them for me to collect files early so that we can test set up on the PCs. As the exam is around 3 hours long and goes into my lunch break I said I'll take my lunch break at that time but he insisted…
