Friday is my last day.

I could not be more excited. I have worked there for 2 years, during the pandemic and had a few flare ups of my autoimmune disease (no health insurance and had to pay out of pocket), got shingles and a few episodes of depression… hours of wage theft that they said they didn't pay for because it was 'training'. Worked almost every day from home or in the office. They decided to cut my hours by half and I just asked to be laid off. I just want to work on my mental health and physical health for awhile. I am so tired and burnt out. Edit: I do got a plan in place and side projects to dive into…

Tired of this Hell

I was fired from dominoes because a customer was giving me wrong delivery instructions. I went back and forth 6 times the stretch being about a mile and told them there was no house where they were saying the house was. After the third time the guy started to call me a “***ard” I eventually stopped listening to their instructions and found the house and explained to them they were giving me wrong instructions. They threatened to fight me and told me I just needed to listen better. I told him okay then I'm going back to the store and hung up the phone. When I got back to dominoes my manager fired me because they “called corporate” and I refused to deliver the pizza to someone who was verbally abusing me and wanted to physically abuse me as well. The manager was just using this as an excuse to…

Don’t settle for less!!

I made a post in here a week ago about how to make my complaint against my boss stick. During this time: I went from being absolutely tormented for 35 hours a week, to finding a new job IN A DAY that’s going to pay me 3.50 more an hour. My point being don’t settle. I cannot believe I put up with as much as I did out of fear of change. I could have saved myself an entire year of misery and made 12,000 more if I had just bit the bullet when I should have. Don’t be afraid to look around. Don’t be afraid to always keep your options open. And don’t kick yourself too much if you are scared. Just remember: Humans hate change. That’s a biological fact that goes back to caveman days. It makes us uncomfortable, but that doesn’t mean we have to avoid changes.…

Screw Doordash (Satisfying Ending)

This is not my story, it's my brother's. But he gave me consent for me to share it. So, when you order from Doordash, you have the option to revise your tip before your order is complete. And dashers can see what you're tipping before they pick up your order so they can decide if picking up the order is worth it or not . My brother is in college, trying to make ends meet and save up some money before Law School. So he decided to try out working for Doordash. Multiple times, after my brother had dropped off an order, he was screwed over by people taking his tip away. They changed it to zero after the food had been delivered. My brother is a rather hard headed fellow. And he would go right up to someone's door and confront them about this. 9/10 times it would go…

Why does everyone at work talk shit behind each other’s back?

I'm doing sales right now at a hotel and it's insane to see the shit people say behind everyone's backs. Like today I had 4 people shit talk each other when the other person wasn't around. Is this normal?

Put in my notice and supervisor wants to start actin real weird with me

(This is a rant and I’m sorry lol) To be fair this particular supervisor has had a lot of shit reported on her to the higher ups and nothing can really be done especially cause she’s been at this hospital for like 30 years. Anyways she’s known to be an asshole to new people and be unreasonably nitpicky (while also not following standards, we work in healthcare for fuck’s sake you can’t just be completely negligent when your work involves people’s lives). I’ve had a few uncomfortable scenarios with her in the past 3 months I’ve worked this job at this particular facility and honestly I’m just not in the mood for it. She’s literally one of the sole reasons people leave, including myself. So I got lucky and get offered a new PRN position at another hospital in the area. And management over there and the people seem really…

Fired for not being a team member

Six or seven years ago I was pre-trade school and landed a warehouse job with a company that would much later go under for poor sales. Shift started at 0800, so I showed up 0755, hung up my hat n coat, sweeped the store and opened the door by 08, when the place opened. Small shop, big warehouse. They didn't really have a clear supply system for ordering or compatability for parts, so all of the knowledge was kept in the heads of the two old dudes working their. A pair of guys in their late 50s, early 60s who were a worker and a manager, and had the ol boy agreement between them that they were essential members of the company who did no wrong. Being the young buck meant I was to blame for stuff being misplaced, the shop being dirty (was when I got there) and everything…
