Venting

Some context: I’m a cashier, I have worked at my current store for 1.5 years, but I’ve worked for the company for almost 4 years. Over the past year, I’ve noticed a lack of respect coming from my coworkers, certain lower management, and customers. Going to work no longer makes me happy, and I truly enjoy being a cashier. Im moving cities in a few months, and will have to find another job, so I don’t see the point in quitting now, especially since it’s my only source of income and I have rent to pay. I really want to just scream “that’s it, I’m done!” And storm out. Any advice is appreciated.

Supervisor threatens to fire me for sitting on the job (while working)

I started a job a few weeks ago that has me working at a home improvement store overnight stocking shelves, and have on multiple occasions stressed to my supervisor that this is my first job in three years so I would need time to adjust back into working and standing for long periods of time as I had spent all of 2020 and 2021 taking care of both my parents and grandparents full time, as both parties had been suffering through health problems at the time. As such, I'm a tad bit slow doing my job and have lost the skill to squat sit for long periods of time back to back, so if I need to get down to the bottom shelf I sit down. Reasonable, right? Last Friday he came to me, sitting on the floor having just finished up a pallet of boxes and starting on breaking…

Screwing my boss over with shipping costs

Whenever my employer pisses me off and I have to ship something for work, I’ll choose something other than the least expensive UPS option. Nothing egregious but if there’s a $19 option and a $22 option, I’m going more expensive. Feels like I’m getting a little payback. I think it's time for next day air for $100.

Orienting and Getting Zero Training

I found a new job, and I’m about to lose it. I’ve been on the floor of a health care facility for three days. Each day, my orienter left me to sit at the front and play on their phone/gossip. If I ask questions, she literally gets nasty and has told me and several of my colleagues, “she doesn’t know what the fuck she’s doing. She can’t fucking handle it here.” Like, I’m supposed to get certified in phlebotomy. While I understand disclosing to patients that this is my first time and a learning experience, she has blatantly said degrading things like, “I can’t believe you’ve never stuck someone before/never drew blood—“ in front of my patients. She harps on it. Aloud. (This is a learning facility, I’m LEARNING.) I had a patient refuse me, which is okay. They’re in their right. My second patient was starting to get so…

Little story of anger and arrogance

for context: My supervisor is one of the “that's not my job” people and tells me that phrase basically everytime i ask for help. she got that position recently via ass kissing. so this one evening, 10 minutes before finishing my shift, she comes up to me asking for help on some bs because “she wouldn't make it in time otherwise” and my brain insta goes like: that's what we waited for. so i straight up told her that this is not my job. she got super angry while asking me if i ever heard of collegiality and i just couldn't hold my laughter back. double standard at it's finest. the management and this *** are now super pissed but it was absolutely worth it.

Don’t contact this employer

So years ago I took a job at a major electronics stores repair depot. I was a good worker, an unofficial lead for one of the lines, etc. I was only there to pad my resume with hardware support and stuff. Pay was crap but it was laid back and easy enough to meet quotas, I already knew my hardware just wanted experience to put on a resume. Place was hell though, people got fired for petty reasons, my breaking point, they fired the lead for missing a day, one day and made a speech about how we were all replacable (hr had made a speech weeks ago that they were not involved in previous firings as the manager was blaming them saying “corporate said they didn't meet quota or something and I couldn't stop it”) after the official lead was fired I got asked if I wanted to be…

My managers were purposely miscommunicating with me to avoid giving me an answer

Hello! So I have been working at a major sporting goods retail brand for almost a year now. We have gone through multiple different store managers within my tenure here because of how horrible communication is. Truthfully I thought most of it was exaggerated, until two conversations i had last night with our newest store manager and second in command. Earlier this month my great grandmother passed away. I requested the day off for the funeral 3 weeks ago. Yesterday 3-25-22 was the one and only funeral, or at least I thought. I found out at about 530 pm yesterday that there will be a nighttime mass that is the final funeral that will take place today at 5pm 3-26-22. My stores call out or late notice schedule change policy is 2 hours before the start of your shift. Failure to call out or change your schedule within the time…
