Hi everyone I live and work in Illinois. The minimum wage is currently 12/hour and I am being paid less than that. I am a part time worker at a fast casual place like Chipotle (not chipotle), but I am being paid less than $12/hour and that includes tips. For context I am not a minor and I am legally working for this employer. I want advice on how I should address this topic to my boss before I file a complaint to the Illinois government.
Got offered to do assessment for an internship. The internship would last for a year before considering me for a full time position even though I have a masters degree in finance. The fund offered a salary of $639 dollars a month which isn’t enough to cover rent and food in this city. The assessment to get the job was like a week of super tedious excel work with little guidance, and high uncertainty if I would even be offered the job after doing that first week of free work. I said after some consideration, I want to ask if they could accept $1550 a month given the internship would last a year and I got ghosted. I guess I dodged a bullet…
Title was my boss to me after I didn't complete a task in what he thinks is a reasonable time. the kicker? it was my technique, because I had to figure it out on my own as he didn't even as much as look at how I was doing it.
co-workers get paid more but do far less actual work? honestly i think i might just say no sorry i’m busy next time and not care at all.
This may be the wrong sub so if there's a better place, let me know? I picked up a seasonal job the start of this month. I don't need it, it was to fund some fun stuff I wanted to do outside of my budget. By the end of this week, I'll have worked 20 days in a row between my 3x a week normal job and my “part time” seasonal job. And after ONE day off, I'm scheduled 13 days in a row again. When I accepted the job, she told me it would be “a 4 hour shift here, a 5 hour shift there” with the option to work at her other location in town if I wanted more hours. When PT hired me, I thought I was very clear that I already work full time (3x12hr) and this was a “fun money” gig. Which is why I…
I've applied to jobs, some with recruiters. This week, I have received calls from these recruiters. But they don't just call once, they call several times… like 5 times within minutes. Instead of leaving a voice-mail, they then email me saying it's urgent to get back to them and need to fill position asap. Anyone else have this experience? Coz I'm feeling this is straight up harassment and turns me off completely from returning any phone call or email.
Most of my job is behind a computer but due to the nature of my industry, sometimes I need to actually be present for physical tasks. For the most part I don't mind. I go in twice a week, get a lot of manual work done, get some good chats in with colleagues, catch up with my manager, play with the dogs etc. But the BEST part is…. The amount of fkn pee on all the toilets. It forces me to do this little squat pee thing and then wipe the toilet so the next person doesn't think it was me. I just don't get that at home. In all seriousness, man oh man people are GROSS. I heard someone clipping their fingernails at their desk and then… SWEPT THEM ON TO THE CARPET. Like who does that? Doesn't we all know this is not something to do outside of…
Went to go in for an interview today and the first thing I'm told is they've already hired someone else, the assholes didn't even tell me when I was literally in contact with them the day before. Like if they had told before hand, I would have been annoyed sure but I had to walk down to their shop while in a lot of pain all for nothing. Really scummy and annoying
And they want us to notify them if we leave the building for our breaks or take longer than 30 minutes. Yet management can take an hour or more and not tell anyone where they are or where they’re going if they leave. I guess we’re all kindergartners again.
