Tipping Question for Service providers
Another post on here triggered memory about a question that I have had for awhile. What's the best way to leave a tip to ensure the person who provided the service to you personally gets the money? I normally don't carry cash so typically I add it to the bill. In this other post they mentioned half sharing and what not and I imagine some owners may charge a fee to process the credit card. So is cash the better policy? Thanks.
Denied a promotion
Long story short, I applied for a promotion and was not picked between the 5 candidates. The person who was, is now telling people I applied. Is this illegal? She will be my boss in the next few weeks if not already.
as a full time worker, im really tired of the passive aggressiveness that comes from my managers, the feeling of worthlessness when making mistakes, feeling like a robot who has to reach a certain goal every day, etc. im tired of feeling depressed and craving a drink every time i get off just to forget about all this bullshit. im tired of living like this and i dont really know how to make my situation better. i cant just find a different job, i got lucky as hell to find a job after a gruesome 4 months of unemployment. im tired of being in so much emotional pain both when im on the clock AND during my free time due to work stress and ruminating over mistakes. im wondering if anyone has any advice to shake off these feelings and/or if theres any sort of community outside of reddit that…
What would you do?
I recently started working at a local scrap metal recycling yard and apparently new hire on board processes is to send new applicats through a temp agency for a 90 day probation period, this company claims to be a union of boiler makers and pipefitter (not sure if this is common practice for scrap metal yards everywhere) I've reached the end of the 90 day probation period and I'm not so sure if I want to leave the temp agency that be said I really enjoy the work I'm doing as well as I feel treated fairly. I'm just more or less feeling like I already filled out paperwork and took a drug test and don't really feel like doing it again mostly because if you do it right the first time won't have to do it again
How We Can Fight Back
Unionize, unionize, unionize (the obvious). Use help from here: https://www.iww.org/ STEAL back time from your employer (a.k.a. “white strike”), meaning work less for same money (use imagination, build support groups with trustworthy coworkers) Give ULTIMATUMS to employers: raise, less work, or else. Try to work for worker coops, if you can. Subscribe to my YT channel: https://youtube.com/channel/UCwrgKWHXAJJ_L_Ap1qTqbWQ

Burnt out to the point I’m suicidal
Hello. Throwaway account here. I work as a dental microsurgery nurse (basically implants, complicated extraction etc). 3 weeks ago, had tumour removal and hand reconstruction surgery. My boss asked me to go back to work since my coworker took a month off as her dad died and is overseas. Everything was okay until i realised disposable gloves rubbing on top of my surgical wound is nasty, and a patient accidentally hit my stitches sent my whole body into pain. I told my boss/dentist about and the only response i got was “you’ll be okay, sometimes we just have to suck it up”. I told his wife who’s the practice manager managed to talk to him and she said i can rest for a bit but at the end of the day, he’s still the one calling the shots. I appreciate her concern but she really cant do much. When my…
I had a coworker at my previous job who was training me, and I asked her “too many questions” once over email. I had been there for about a month. She snapped at me and wrote a 5 paragraph long email telling me how awful I was at completing training, criticized my work ethic, told me I need to pay attention, and overall attacked me. Though it’s hard to describe without going into too much detail, this was a VERY personal attack from someone I had no issues with prior. I forwarded it to my supervisor who called me to apologize and would talk to her. From what I understand, nothing came out of it but for weeks I trained under somebody else. Not surprising though, because my supervisor talked shit about all her employees(my coworkers) to me behind their backs besides her because she’s “funny.” In addition, my previous…
