Boss acts strange around me

Not sure what I did.. Started this job few months ago. I am in my 20s and boss is in his 40s..I thought we have been getting along pretty well and he constantly gave me compliments on the work I completed. We are doing a hybrid schedule so sometimes I work from home. I will get constant email communications/after hour calls from him. I noticed lately when I am in the office though, he rarely talks to me and the attitude are quite different then how he spokes to me on the phone?? If I don’t approach him first, he will never come talk to me…? But he’s checking in and talkative with everybody else.. Last weekend he also worked on my personal development plan at 5am after we had the conversation of promotion.. I guess my question is why he acts so different in person compare to when I…

I’m scared to start another sales job

PSA: This is the most throwaway account I have to keep myself a little more in the dark from the forces above but still get my point across I was recently fired from my Job working for the conglomerate that is Verizon for creating an account under my name to boost my stores sales. I get it. Not great of me to do, etc. But Im getting ready to start a new job here soon at another place also selling phones and I'm scared because I feel like this is one of the few paths in my life and living in a smaller town that will eventually get me out of here and I'm afraid to screw it up big time.

Costco fired a guy for “not normal” hair color

This is from a few years ago… I was working on the floor of a warehouse when a temp worker (he was black) came in one day with auburn dyed hair. Management flipped their shit (mostly white) and told him to go home and cut it. He did. Only for the next day to show up and be terminated. Why you might ask? because it was considered a no-call no-show… even though MANAGEMENT told him to go home. And since he was in his first 6 month probationary period, he could legally be fired for any reason. I was fucking appalled and knew then that I couldn't work there long term

“No one wants to work but we have to…”

Blah blah blah. WTF THEN THE MAJORITY RULES– ITS NATURE. The popular opinion- that work f*cking sucks and holds us to unrealistic realities (MHM worker bees, you read that twice, it is an oxymoron that obvious that yall are fighting for)– ALWAYS wins! If not by democracy and government and a system literally set up to say “the majority wins”, then by SHEER FORCE ALONE. Our species did, can, and likely will, survive once corporations die off again. Money is an illusion that we are now forced into needing to survive. Except we don't need it. We never did. We are animals people, primates. They eere here without money, we were here without money, stop letting it cause SUFFERING to people. Especially when these people are in our community. The richest person is only as strong as our collective, interspecies “weakest link”. WHY THE HELL ARE WE MAKING OURSELVES COLLECTIVELY…

No no! It’s a 3% raise. Sorta.

I worked for a private college. Every year we got a 3% Cost of Living raise. One year they announced that we would be getting our 3% raise, but only for 6 months of the year. So, 1.5%, right? Oh no! They responded. 3%. But for 6 months.

Hold times are getting ridiculously long, to the point where I’m wasting two hours at a time on one specific service matter.

I just need to vent, is that okay? I work in customer service, and unfortunately for me, I have to rely on other people to get my job done every day. For example, if I needed to get a restriction lifted, I would have to call a support number, tell them the issue, just for them to tell me they can’t help and have to transfer me to a “specialist”, and then I end up waiting on hold listening to the same shitty hold music for OVER 2 HOURS AT A TIME!! And it’s not like I can just hang up and redial, I’ll just get shoved to the back of the call queue. Then I’ve wasted 2 hours. My job also requires me to answer incoming calls, so if I’m on hold for 2 hours, I miss 5-10 calls during that time. I asked why the wait was so…
