“Why isn’t my pizza ready? Oh you’re working the store alone? No excuse!”

This customer that walked in said this bullshit just now Sir where do you get the audacity??? I’m a manager at a pizza joint making $15/hr right now and it’s very common for them to make me run the entire store by myself. It’s possible, but not practical. I answer phones, place orders, slap out dough, construct pizzas, watch the ovens, ensure there’s enough boxes folded, enough dipping sauces up front, etc. Its not that hard a job in my opinion but it is strenuous when you’re by yourself. And obviously that means wait times will be higher. I am one person. You can wait without disrespecting my job, let alone while I am servicing you.

I was just tipped off about an april fool’s joke for tomorrow.

I'm a middle manager who will be putting in his two weeks tomorrow after being in this meeting. In our morning meeting my higher up decided he's going to pull an april fools joke saying he's going to send an email at 11 giving everyone the day off tomorrow as a reward for their hard work. Then at 4:30 he's going to send some dumb meme saying april fools. I've been wanting out of this place for a while, but this clown pulling a move like this is the straw that broke the camel's back. I'm not sure why he thought it was funny, but he's the “boss”.

Our politicians just fucked us again

https://www.politico.com/news/2022/03/30/david-weil-wage-hour-nom-senate-00021860 The vote to confirm David Weil as head of the Labor Department's Wage and Hour division just failed thanks to the entirety of the GOP and 3 democrat senators. So I actually work as a researcher at the school David is the dean of. The entire schtick of this guy is to stop major employers/corporations from committing wage theft by abusing their employees with shady overtime rules. This is fucking disgusting and I feel sick. Not sure if this was posted already but wanted to let everyone know.

Walked off my job on the first day.

Hello! I have a wonderful day job at a non-profit. Now that my semester is ending, I have decided to seek a night job in a restaurant. I have worked in restaurants for many years, off and on. I took a job at a larger scale local franchise doing dishes. The pay was $15 an hour. Here's the catch. When I was training, which is basically one shift. The owner acknowledged that on weekdays, it's a two person job. On Friday and Saturday, it's a three person job. The restaursant is relatively high volume. Anyway. I'm dishing and trying to keep up, but I cannot. It's demoralizing because I want to do a good job and I take pride into the work that I do. Anyway, he sets me up to do this by myself. No help, no nothing and he expects us to be done at 10 pm. Well,…
