Antiwork

My boss decided to make me hourly at less than I was making salary and cut 2 hours of my check cause they were before business hours It’s a small office so if I stir the pot I’ll probably get fired Is there anything I can do ?

I recently quit a call center position, only to learn that my friends in the same team were let go the next week as well as many many other employees. Three weeks later, I received a call from HR informing me that I need to return back to the company site with legal documents to prove who I am. They refused to answer my inquiries as to why and said they have limited information to share and this is for Homeland Security reasons. I can't find any information about this online or from family and friends so I am a little worried. Please any ideas as to what I should do, I would be very grateful.

So this is basically just a (long) pointless rant because I felt the need to vent. I manage an Adult Store. My whole backstory is long and most would be uninterested (though some of it IS antiwork sort of stuff, so I might share some of it later), but the long story short is I worked basic retail for the company, cut myself down to very minimal part time when I got a better job, was offered to manage a store. The 'better job' was killing me, so I actually took a pay cut and pretty much tripled my commute to manage said store. So now I have an hour commute, don't make great money, but the job is easy enough and I'm no longer killing myself. I make the schedules, so when all is going well I can put all my hours into open to close shifts, and minimize…

So, I started a new job but it seemed sketchy. I was hired by a family friend because I told them that I needed work and thought this was a good opportunity for me. They said they have their own company and I was open to a position with them in marketing. I was so happy about this because I thought this would be the start of me being in full time employment and also work for someone who seems nice so I could finally move forward and get my life together. I didn’t mention wages or how much I would get paid since I felt that was rude to ask straight away, so I’d ask about a week in. On the day I was meant to work, I get an international call. Which was fine but I wasn’t understanding why they didn’t use my country’s number. Apart from that,…

So basically a new restaurant that I work for has been having all the new staff on a leash, pushing back open time for months, still doesn’t have a liquor license. We finally opened and we’re promised to be paid today, with NO body receiving a paycheck. It’s a mess and I’m tired of hearing, „just hang in there“ It’s been two months and I haven’t been paid, should I just say screw it and not show up? Unpaid labor?

I wanted to take Some time off work because of A personal Reason. I told my boss the reason so he knows why I won’t be at work for 3 weeks. I asked him to keep it a secret because it is very personal (I am having bad mental health beacause of a series of Everts this year: my dog died, i had a tumor, boyfriend is very depressed, …) I found out he told everybody at the Office… Now everybody looks at me weird and wants to know everything Aboutaleb my personal life, should I just quit?

Just the term PIP (Performance Improvement Plan) triggers a SEVERE (diagnosed) PTSD response in me, and many others, apparently. I lost a career I built from literally “scratch” and “turning screws” to a PIP, my best friend was just handed one, with an “interview” on Thursday, in person, though all work, since even before COVID, has been mobile / WFH. Everyone I've spoken to about them, that has experience with them, so far has said that a PIP is literally just an employer trying to get rid of you, and exploit you as much as possible in your remaining time, without having to pay unemployment. If you're not in the US, be grateful you're unfamiliar with this scenario. As an example, BFF LITERALLY works 80+ hours a week, and is consistently an award winning performer in their field. For both our sakes, I have to be limited in details that…
