I hope I’m fired from my call center job? Is that bad?

You guys can see my profile for more posts with details on this, but… Look, I am not the type that would usually be on this subreddit. Raised in a protestant household with good old fashioned work ethic taught to me from a young age. Regardless, I’m a naive little autistic mess in their first job, just happy they were wanted by society for once. But this call center is hell. My parents keep invalidating me and saying I am just over emotional and unstable. (Who wouldn’t be handling calls from people begging you for help saving their homes or screaming at you over a 5$ fee all day?!) At this point I hope I get sacked. My parents won’t let me quit until I pay off the car they bought me without my consent, which is really their car on their credit. If I can’t leave, then I want…

Social Media

Just saw the post of the poor guy who’s piece of shit CoLleAgUe snitched on him…so I thought I would share this story 2 years ago I started my apprenticeship with another girl for an office job. Both of us starting together , we got along pretty well. A few months in we still weren’t allowed to take vacation and her Mum’s birthday was around the corner. She had no idea what to do, as she wanted to visit her mum badly, since they don’t see each other that much, but couldn’t take any vacation. So I tell her to call in sick and go enjoy they day with her mum. She posted a lot of instagram stories back then, so I told her to hide it from all coworkers who were following her or not make any at all on that day. Smh, she still posted lol. I see…

Why do companies tell me how much they raised but not how much they pay?

I work in tech sales so it’s probably starts up that do this. I’m sick of recruiters and companies reaching out to me and saying the amount of money they raised from funding and investments but nowhere will they mention salary until I commit to an interview. I really don’t give a damn how much you raised or really anything about your company. All I want to know is what I will be doing and how much you are willing to pay for me to do it. I am not going take time out my day and prep for an interview for a “competitive salary” that come to find out isn’t competitive at all.

My employer is illegally refusing to pay my overtime I’m owed. I’m in California and a W2 employee. It’s not worth the money to sue, but I’d like to report them to every possible place I can. Any advice?

Title says it all.

I got in trouble because of a car accident.

I work in as a after school day care instructor. I have toys for the kids to play with.(can’t be specific)Any I got complaints by the parents because, I told the kids I got into a car accident. I hit a huge bump, and flew into the curb. All my toys went flying so I wasn’t as prepared as I usually was because everything spilled in my trunk. It’s just amazing how people can have no remorse I have about 600 dollars in damages. Now I might not be able to return to that school. Which means I’m out of a contract for this minimum wage job.

Judicial Dissolution / Corporate Death Penalty

IMO there should be much more talk about why judicial dissolution or the corporate death penalty is hardly ever used, when it should be. It's exactly the kind of thing that might get corporations to stop screwing us. Why not make it a bigger part of the conversation?

Want me to skip my 15s and take a shorter lunch to meet production numbers? You can fuck right off.

Never overwhelm new hires with unrealistic expectations especially when they have no one else to help or train them. Of course management wonders why people quit which is what I'm about to do.

Founder got harsh feedback from users (forwarded by stupid me), decided to dismiss the whole team of 10 people to have time to “think”

TL;DR: I forwarded to the founder some harsh criticism from the users on the UX of the app that he designed .I also gently suggested him to be more involved in user interviews in the future. Two days later, he “temporarily” dismissed the whole team of 10+ people to have time to “think” and not be distracted. What's temporarily dismissing anyway? – – – Over last weekend I approached the founder of the startup I’m working at about a few issues raised by the users of our app. I also convinced him that he gotta be on the user interview calls with me sometimes because our company is still in an early stage (the team has ~10 people). My perspective is that as a founder he gotta be close to his customers to make the right decisions. He can't just rely on the only external person on the team (aka…

I am a bus driver in Ontario working for less than minimum wage and trying to get paid.

I am a school bus driver. I drive to 3 different schools. I drive the handicap accessible bus and have 2 kiddos that use the lift. Every child on my bus is special needs. I absolutely love these kids and I love my job. I take great pride in providing stellar care for the kids while on my bus and do whatever I can to make their start/end of day as positive as possible. Since starting driving again this school year I have been under paid. I make $50 a day for at first driving an average of 4 hours a day (about $12/hr when the min wage was $14) and now it averages 5 hours a day which is about 10 an hour when the min wage is 15. I told my boss that unless I get back pay and a reasonable rate going forward I am not driving.…

Received Zero compensation on my review and I’m crushed.

As the title reads I just received a 3 on my annual review which is zero pay compensation.. I have the immediate sense of worthlessness, cheated and I feel sick to my stomach. How can we be treated like this?
