My coworkers being in general lazy

I work at a tacobell. I know, not exactly an amazing job, it's my first one tho. I'm 15 years old and think my jobs not to hard, I can do basically everything there, as it's not to difficult. So last night, one of my Co workers, who's supposed to make meals, decided that he needed a break. He sat in a chair for 3 hours, mind you we only get 30 minutes of break. My manager, she was doing manager things (stocking up on stuff, making sure meats cooked and ready, etc.) And the only person operating the orders left. I don't know where they went, but when they returned they also were sitting saying they are on 'break'. I was working an entire damn restaurant while all my co workers were on break. So that's ridiculous right? Yeah well it gets worse. After we close, we are cleaning…

Slave wages

I recently received an email advertising an internship to college students. It requires a minimum of 3 months of full-time work, including weekends, nights, and holidays. They're offering a stipend of $1,000. I did the math, that's about $2 an hour. ETA: it makes sure to mention that housing and transportation are not included

Found one in the wild “excited to spend the majority of your shift lifting, pushing and pulling cases of our product”. Sounds like a blast.

Since ordinary folks have such little representation in Congress, would a more fitting name for our country be United Corporations of America? U-C-A! U-C-A!

Called during my day off

So, I was called to implement software feature. CEO called manager number 1, manager number 1 called manager number 2 and manager number 2 called me to do the work during my day off. He insisted that I should cancel all my plans during that day and do the job ASAP. But there actually was literally no rush for this. As this feature is needed for incoming weeks and I was confident that I will be able to implement it in friday. But ok, I didn't cancel my plans but just came to work and implemented it in 3-4 hrs and managed to do everything that I planned today. But fuck this job. Manager wanted me to cancel my dentist and back healing procedures (I have problems with my back and neck and he knew it). I hate this job. Why is some bullshit feature which takes 3-4 hrs to…

Company made $200m+ net profit in 2021 and is now making employees pay for health insurance

I'm going to preface this by saying I do enjoy my job and my coworkers, and my employer does seem to try to care about employees. That being said, it's open enrollment right now. I just logged in to look at my benefits elections and was rather shocked to find that the base health insurance plan, previously 100% employer paid, is now $42/paycheck. The plan has gotten better ($1,500 deductible vs $3k, lower co-pays, etc.), but the previous plan was perfect for me. I don't want a better plan, I want a free plan. What pisses me off most, though, is that the employer contribution is going down by $25.05/paycheck. So they're saving money while I'm losing money. If they had kept their contribution the same and increased mine to cover the difference, I wouldn't be complaining. But this sucks. Last month they gave us a 5% Cost of Living…

I HATE when people use their breaks to work

I don’t know how to get it through peoples thick skulls that you do NOT WORK THROUGHOUT YOUR LUNCH TO “catch up” on work. You use the hours you are given. Also, don’t do anything company related on your own time?? Always go to the bathroom on company time and other things if possible … I truly don’t know how people can’t understand this concept (speaking from experience of people in my same job position at my same job) … I don’t see any reason whatsoever to give away your time for a company that doesn’t give a shit about your sacrifice (even if they do) … anyways rant over back to scrolling Reddit and reading articles on company time

The UK needs your help!

I posted 2 days ago the opening of a petition to end wage secrecy by making it a legal requirement to post clear wages and salaries on all job adverts. Today I got an email informing me the petition is now live and ready for the world to see and sign… https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/609260

Quit My Job – Employer Says I Owe Money

Quit my job to be a stay at home Dad, which I am loving. Resigned effectively Jan 14 and was issued two last checks in the subsequent weeks. Just a got a “bill” yesterday from them saying I owe them for overuse of sick and paid leave. Am I obligated to pay this? Me last paycheck stub showed a positive balance on both and I did not use any during my FMLA. If I did owe, shouldn’t have this been settled with the last two checks that were more than enough to cover the amount owed?
