How to earn a living in creative ways?
And with low capital…. I don't want to be a office slave/desk jockey 🙂
so pissed about this, im picking up shifts lately, covering for guys because one has a busted arm and the other has covid. my manager sends me a text asking me to come in for 12 on my day off(he has day off also and is texting from home). i get there and they realize hes made a mistake so im told to go home after working for 15 minutes.
Am I abused, can I do anything?
Currently work as a maintenance supervisor at a resort in western -NY and it’s a salary position. Pretty good pay for my area and decent benefits. Here’s where my issue comes into play I’m expected to work 40 hours during spring, summer season which is understandable I am salary, but I’m also on call 24/7 and always have to answer. During winter I’m expected to work 60+ hours and still on call and during winter I get called back into work nearly everyday or every other day. I’m working ridiculous hours get no overtime, don’t get compensated for mileage, and am only allowed to hire one part time person for winter and not allowed to go over 25 hours. The rest of the year I’m a supervisor to myself alone. Another issue I have is pervious people in this position said for years they had a three man year round…
Lied about my work ethic to upper management. Well with the extra time off(1month) I designed, developed, and marketed a market ready product that companies are begging to buy the rights to sell. I would have never accomplished any of it had I not been fired so to him Id like to say thanks and Fuck you buddy!!!
Earned Vacation
So I'm planning to leave my job within the next couple months and we're short staffed so I will not be able to use PTO I've aquired because it won't be approved. They changed their policy to 1 week PTO after 6 months and I'll be leaving around the 8 month mark. I want to leave on good terms so how do I go about making sure I'll be paid what I've earned in PTO since I won't be able to use it before quitting. Thank you.
This sub is affecting me
I’m about a year out of college with a degree in communication. I’ve been unable to secure a job in that time, and I’ve only gotten a couple of interviews. My parents are telling me I need to get a job by next month. What I’m saying is that I have a lot of work-related stress and anxiety, and browsing this sub consistently makes it worse. I came here looking for comfort and maybe some solutions, and I found a deluge of hopelessness. Now in addition to worrying about freezing and starving to death, my worries about being abused and exploited have been multiplied. And I understand that I come from a position of immense privilege to simply be worried about those things while living off my parents’ money instead of experiencing them. But I legitimately feel like this sub has become a source of mental self-harm for me.
I found out my boss was going to get fired. I'm his student, so it affected me a lot knowing he was going to lose his job. I'm 22 YO female and my boss is 30 YO male. I ended up telling my boss he was going to get fired about two days before he was going to get fired. He then made me stay up all night writing a defence for him. And he also stayed up all night thinking about what legal action he could take. We both went to work tired. Then the next day he called me and said he was so thankful because he can actually defend himself now. And then later I got a call from HR about how he was going to be dismissed. And I documented the phone call and then sent it to my boss because he said he was the…
