At my current (soon to be former) employer, the greenhouse gets 30+ degrees in winter. I get faint easily, and the kids complain about the heat. After I opened a window once, they told me that it was a policy breach … and then removed the damn opener handles. Bro you could have just asked me I also still haven't been given the WiFi password after a year and a half of working there. Think “going to the front desk whenever the internet resets” kinda deal

Hello, everyone Long time lurker, first time poster here… I'm a store manager at a corporate convenience store in northern Maine, USA. I've been the store manager since just before the pandemic started (February 2020) and some of my employees have been here for years (7-26 years). I have a small team of five people and when you work with them every day it's hard not to grow to care for them. I have two employees who I'll call Alexis and Brandon who have both been with the company for a very long time. Alexis for over 25 years and Brandon for almost 10 years. We have a step pay system that was implemented shortly after I started where basically from a new hire you get a raise at 90 days, 1 year, and then every 800 hours you work. For new hires starting at minimum wage with the step…

Hello members of r/antiwork, here is my post about this rule because it just happened to me, and I'm wondering if there are any tips out there. At a lot of jobs, you have to call in sick before a certain time. For mine, its 10 AM. Now, I'm (16F) still in high school, so this is an after school job. Before 10, i don't have time. I have to get ready, bike to school, and attend classes. My first break isn't until 10.15. This morning, i felt fine. Nothing weird going on at all. During my first break though, I started getting a headache. Bam, it's 10.15. Too late to call in. I get permission to go home, so I call my job in order to mark myself absent. I did this immediately after, so maybe around 10.30. Got a whole rant about it, which I can understand. It's…
Possible Time Theft?
Recently I was lightly “scolded” by my supervisor for being a minute late back from my unpaid lunch. This led me to my timesheet to check my hours online. While I was looking a saw that i had clocked in one minute early at the start of the day so in total i was clocked in for 10 hours. However, online it showed 9.98 hours (.02 for the missed lunch minute). I went back through this years timesheets and found no minutes where I had been clocked in before my official start time had been added to my paid hours. It showed the correct times but didn’t count the minutes. In all it only added up to a quarter of an hour but if they can be petty I can be too right? Is this wage theft?
