One of the nurses at my work has not met standards and the company was planning on firing her. She decided to turn in a resignation effective immediately to save face. Now some of the hire ups want to report her to the nursing board for “patient abandonment” because she didn't work a notice period. This is NOT grounds for patient abandonment and besides, why should she work a 2 week notice if they wanted to fire her?
So for years I worked for a company in the same department, working my way up the ladder, thought I was genuinely beloved in the group and thought we shared that buzz word of “work family” as contrived as that was… For years things were great between me and my boss and we never had issues. I was golden boy and nothing ever really got too bad…. UNTIL…. I was offered a promotion, not a huge pay increase but at least it was SOMETHING… Anyway, the job responsibilities started off simple enough then progressively evolved into something I was not experienced with at all and the workload became more than I could bear… I took my concerns to my boss and they said I knew what I signed on for when I took the new job and that I couldnt go back to my old role as it had since…
So I work at a very well known pizza chain as a driver, and the last few days my manager has been on absolute edge preparing for Superbowl Sunday, since it's the busiest delivery day of the year. Yesterday he started going off on a coworker for taking 5 min away from his prep work to talk to me and use the restroom, shit like “WHEN WERE OUT OF FOOD THIS WEEKEND BECAUSE YOU DIDNT FUCKING PREP ENOUGH, DONT CRY TO ME”. I later asked the coworker why he lets him talk to him like that. He said that by this weekend he would likely be so on edge he'll be throwing pans around the kitchen at people. Is it weird that I am very much looking forward to this behavior? Delivery driver jobs are a dime a dozen in my town and I don't need them as much as…

I actually work 3 jobs (all part time) and my last third job I tried a full time job at 40 hours a week and asked for 14$ an hour. Seen a grown man cry over me asking for a living wage because I was coming in an hour before everyone else, and getting off later not only because I was new and struggling but because it was literal extra work. My sport watch was telling me I was getting 15-20k steps a day. I was being paid 12.40 plus a dollar COVID pay. Which is illegal where I live. Meanwhile, I was having breakdowns daily at this place over the work load and not being able to live. I can't afford not to work but I also can't afford to work. I hate that I'm being gaslit by people telling me I don't “want to work” and being burnt…
If a person spends their whole working time at a place, that job needs to be able to support a family and let them build their life, including a home of their own. How is that a controversial opinion?
My former manager left this small company back in October. Given that I was supposed to take over his management level responsibilities I asked for management level pay. My boss told me he would bring me close to it but I had to prove I could do the job before giving me the full number. Well here we are months later, we've lost another two employees out of six, my role has expanded well beyond what I was told I would be responsible for, and we are struggling to hire on new employees. At first I was offered the original amount I asked for back in Oct, I said that wasn't enough given the current state of the market and the current expectations for my work and responsibility. I was willing to take a hit from my proposed number for other guarantees as far as roles, expectations, and hiring practices.…
