Can I just say fuck indeed for these “skill assessments”, especially this one designed to weed out dyslexic people.

Sometimes I get a customer who makes my day as a novice retail cake decorator less of a drag.

I’ll probably lose my job for this.

I didn't care. I made a decision in a slightly drunken state. I am a supervisor in a warehouse at a casino. We are treated very poorly. We see no raises and our benefits are very poor. The casinos are posting record profits. I decided to contact the unions. We love to work but we don't deserve what they are doing to us. We are the backbone and we are treated as though we don't matter. I aim to make a difference and I know it will likely cost me my job. It's a sacrifice I'm willing to make. If there's a hill to die on, this is the one. Tomorrow I plan on getting the other guys on board. They will be put in a rather difficult position because if we walk out, there will be nothing they can do and that's exactly the plan. I decided I'm going…

“Report on the Most Recent Survey of Morale”

We noticed participation has decreased, though whether due to layoffs or malaise we can’t be sure. While the survey is anonymous, if you filled the comment boxes with These questions suck or Stop wasting my time, we probably know who you are, especially if you mentioned your division, duties and job description, and even more so if you signed your name. We’re sorry you’re suffering, but we doubt work caused your divorce. We’re also dismayed by demands for better leadership. While you’re welcome to select Somewhat or Not at all in response to Do you find management effective?, we’d like you to imagine how that makes us feel. Perhaps it was insensitive to ask which of your coworkers are seeking other jobs, but we really need an estimate. If you left that question blank, it’s not too late to pass some names along. The news isn’t all bad. Even with…

So, firstly, feel free to skip if you’d like but, I feel awful because I haven’t been in this job for too long. maybe a month? i’m scared that i will quit and find another job with a similar workplace or a place that doesn’t want me because i quit my first job really quickly Anywho, Im a hostess at a restaurant. I want to make a formal two weeks notice. But how do I do that? Do i send an email, write a letter, just have a meeting with my manager?

I’m just wondering what the benefits of a swing shift are.

I work M-F, 8hr day shift. Am I missing something? Some of the companies in my area only offer swing. Week 1: Days Week 2: Afternoons Week 3: Midnights Rinse and repeat. What's the tactic? Why can't these companies just hire the people who prefer day, mid, or night?

Bosses always says “back in my day, I worked +12 hours per day…” but if you ask them if they want to go back and left their “Fridays off”, “going home sooner”… the answer will probably be “so, about the report…”

So, back in my old job (with I quit while my boss was on vacation to go to a better opportunity after 1 year of moral abuse, I may tell you guys in other post…) My boss ruled by comparison with himself. “When I worked at…..” And “My team knew half of what you know and made more…” Where common things to hear in my daily life. But there's one thing that pissed me off. He just spend all of his days looking at fishing videos instead of working, and the job that was supposed for him to do was just passed down to me and my teammates. Long history short, I was even putted to do presentations for his brother (who worked for another company) while he did his daily thing, just to receive a comment such as “when I was your age I worked 12 hours and did…
