Ex-Manager was awful

To start off with, this happened a few years ago. I’m still with the same company, but have a much better manager who’s super supportive, higher pay, work from home etc. I’m also based in Southeast England. Bit of background, I was 20 at the time (now 24), and the manager does this thing where you don’t get paid overtime (1.3hourly rate), but get toil. It means you can have that amount of time to leave/start work late assuming there was enough staff to cover. I had worked 4 hours extra the night before due to staffing issues. I went to take my toil the next day to work a half shift. When I went, I got called out for leaving 4.5 hours before the end of my shift compared to 4 hours. I stated it was because I was also using my 30 minutes unpaid lunch. She started to…

How to interview virtually while stuck at an in-person job?

Long, sad story short: I got my dream job but it ended up not being my dream job because they are not letting me work remotely AT ALL. Not even 2 days a week even though my work is done 100% at a computer. So, the job hunt begins again. But I'm wondering, how the hell am I supposed to do virtual interviews when I work in-person in a cubicle with zero privacy? Like just take my phone out on the streets (I work downtown) and sit in a park? That's the best I can do…

Advice: Work Pushing Us into the Office

Hey everyone! Um mobile, yadda yadda?? So I got an email from my boss pushing us off the current hybrid wfh schedule to coming in Tuesday through Thursday. Reading it again now, I don't think my original ~rage~ was warranted, but I still wanna make my stance clear on covid safety and the importance of working from home esp considering rising gas prices. Any kind of encouragement or advice would really be appreciated. I'm only 21 and this is my first corporate job (just a call center). Thanks for the solidarity and advice from the sub previously, I like you guys. Anyway, eat the rich and have a nice day

Job offering bonus for far away, high profit yielding day, but only once.

My job has a high profit yielding shift at a further than normal job site. The first couple times they were offering a bonus which made it worth the drive. However, now I am scheduled there without any bonus offer and gas prices have gone up substantially without an increase in my mileage reimbursement. How should I go about asking for the same terms as last time, I feel like I'm being used, which I probably am.

HR told my boss I was looking for another job

Hey everyone, I hope this is appropriate to post, feel free to remove or let me know if it isn't. I'm F21 and I've been working part time at a hardware store for the past 2 years. At first I liked it a lot, however, our manager was transferred to another location and after that it just started falling apart. Over half the staff quit, including the manager who took over as the general manager. So the company was struggling to find managers and ended up hiring a bunch of them who have all been fired for various reasons. 2 of them were fired within a month of working for drinking on the job, to give you an idea of the level of competency here. I feel like I show up every week and we have a new manager who doesn't know anything and I have to step in and…
