Petty Manager

I work in healthcare and just left an extremely toxic environment. I was a receptionist. I brought up some issues about a coworker constantly being late.. like 30+ minutes late and being overwhelmed due to the amount of patients I was having to check in. I also learned this new employee makes a dollar more than I do. My other receptionist coworker constantly called in. She called in every Friday or Monday because she would go out of state to see her boyfriend. She Didn't have any Vacation time to use because she just started. This is a personal friend of the managers, so she was never written up for it. My niece passed away due to a heart issue and I was denied bereavement leave because the manager stated that wasn't a close enough relationship to qualify for bereavement. The manager above my manager gave me leave after hearing…

Should I quit today or wait?

My boss called me this morning to let me know she won’t be there when I get in at 1 PM. She also called to asked me if anything was wrong because I have been acting differently… I pretty much broke down and told her that yeah something is wrong, it’s her. The way she addresses me, the frequency of how she talks down to me and how I just feel like I’m not doing anything right. I know I do my job decently (always room to learn and grow), I don’t cut corners and I get all the background work done for everyone else (which seems to go unnoticed). I don’t necessarily need this job, although it’s the highest paid job I’ve ever gotten. We talked about setting up a meeting with her supervisor, the president of the company but to be honest I don’t think any change will…

Going through old emails from an abusive moron boss at a job I recently quit after 5 terrible years. This was the first day of WFH, and she thought that we needed inspiration from her, so subjected us (again) to her godawful purple prose. Lots more where this came from.

Requesting bad reviews

Reposting cuz I didn't know you couldn't do shortened links. The owner of my workplace has cut hours and fired people to the point where we are expected to do 2 or 3 people's jobs at once. He's always worried about our Google reviews so I wanted to thank them before I left. ULPT suggested posting it here, hopefully it's not against the rules but if you have a second and want to help an overworked fella out, please post a bad review. It can be just one star, if you wanna complain about prices or wait times or understaffing that's just the icing on top. Thanks folks. bad reviews here&ludocid=8545148764695591561&gsas=1&client=ms-android-bell-ca-revc&lsig=AB86z5XdwZQM47lJndphtn3ZmRzA&kgs=1b8548df0df80d95&shndl=-1&source=sh/x/kp/local/4&entrypoint=sh/x/kp/local) If this is against the rules take it down.

Employer reneges on WFH arrangement, magnanimously offers extra income via OT

Interviewed for a new job and received promises that it was a WFH position. Got the job, started working and was then told that WFH is “a privilege that must be earned” by (of course) achieving certain production goals that may or may not be realistic. This week I learned that once we're out of training, we'll be able to pick up as much as 10h of OT per week. Since that's how much time I spend driving to and from work per week, I'm thinking that's a gonna be a no from me, dawg.

Should I quit my call center job ?

I was looking for a job to help pay for college. I applied to dozens of jobs and I literally only heard back from one Job. A remote call center job. I just finished training and took my first calls yesterday. I hated it. Idk why I thought it was a good idea. I hate people. I hate talking on phones. I hate talking to strangers. But my job is just that, talking to angry strangers on the phone about why they were charged so much. It drives my anxiety insane. I had a nightmare about the job. Guess what the pay is? $8/hr. I hate the pay and I hate the job, but I can't seem to find anywhere else that will hire me. I do need money for college, so idk what to do. I don't want to disappoint my parents by me quitting in less than a…

Just start telling us the names of these shitty ass companies yea?

I know you want to be anonymous and have added saftey of course we know that we want that too. But in not doing so the companies gain even more saftey, and that's not something a movement like this can afford. Either a page like this is about talking about how shitty our current circumstances are while we twirl the drain, or we know WHO needs to be held accountable and take notable mass action. We all know the big companies but all these medium ones follow their footsteps and still hurt millions of people. Tell us who these companies are and this community will do the rest. Trust me.

Incompetent upper management and the good ole boys club

Sick of brown nose workers that do whatever ass kissing they can to join the group of lazy uneducated and incompetent folks, but some how still continue to make good money and get all the hand outs. I’m done trying to be the best I can be at this shit hole. From here forward I will be paid to take a shit, and to browse Reddit. Thanks for letting me vent.

Discussion on landlords in this sub

I've seen many posts and comments in this sub recently from landlords. Why is this allowed? Landlords directly hurt the working class by profiting off housing insecurity. If you wouldn't want CEOs posting here, why are landlords allowed? They ultimately serve the same class interests.
