Antiwork

Small amusement. I had a disasterous day two weeks into my hotel job. My boss talked to me the next day and told me that I need to enlist help from housekeeping on days like that. I told her that's delegation, which is a management activity, and that she would have to pay me more if she wanted that. She looked so shocked that somebody has boundaries.

I saw another post recently here that made me realize that there may be some more other people struggling with this same issue Some background for me: Asked boss strictly for things regarding a personal conflict in the office and my own mental health be only be spoken about over email. After insisting he only discuss this with me via email, he refused multiple times and ended his last email by saying that he will be ignoring my emails regarding this in the future. Another incident was when I asked for clarification on something he was doing and why I needed to submit certain information to him. I asked him via email and got no response. Asked him in person and he gave me smack. Asked him to send an email clarifying what he had just told me, and he flat refused and walked away from me. I emailed him…

I seriously never thought I would be here. I am still attending community college and just moved in with my fiancé one year ago. I was a shift supervisor at Starbucks for 2+ years. At the END of my employment there, after working there for almost 3 years total, I was making $16 an hour. It was the same amount that shift supervisors who had been promoted 2 weeks before I left was making. For over a year prior to me leaving I had been promised full time hours. I was regularly getting between 22 and 28. I rarely crossed over the 30 hour threshold. That wasn’t even the tip of the iceberg. In the last year of my employment my store had been through 4 store managers. Each one worse than the last. Our very last one was the worst of the whole bunch. She didn’t give a FUCK…
