my boss made a mean comment to me today

TL;DR: boss made a comment to me which made me feel badly about myself and now I don't want to ask questions at work anymore. i work as a server. This is my first serving job and I've been there for a little over a year. I like working there and I love my coworkers. But I'm pretty unsure of myself. I have been there a year but I still ask a lot of basic questions. I only work two days a week as well and forget things a lot so I often second-guess myself and will ask for help or will ask to confirm what I'm thinking before I do something. Today, we had a table of six come in while we were pretty busy. I was working out front so didn't know if we had a free table in the back so before I seated the table, I…

i have a potential dilemma

My employer hired me to work at tow locations. now they want me to work at a third location. I don't think they want to pay me any extra tho. Can i refuse to work at the third facility? Can they legally change my terms of employment without me agreeing to it in writing??

Yet after calling my supervisor, my department still has to come in even though everyone else is off because a lot of us were hit very hard.

Ideas for change

Living in a farm as a small community with likeminded anti-work people with enough crops to provide enough food for everyone. Nearby a fresh supply of drinking water and maybe a river or lake to swim during warmer months. Fishing, preparing nice meals by the bonfire. No more corporate bs or modern society, just likeminded people with a new beginning.

I’m 38 and my boss and coworkers treat me like a child

I started working at my job 1 year ago after my family moved from ME to GA and convinced me to move, too. I took a 30k a year paycut and started here when my daughter was 2 weeks old. Im 38 years old by the way, and I work with 4 other people only who are all 20-30 years older than me and have all worked together for 20 years. My transition to a new state has been absurdly hard but this job was REALLY great about it… at first. Then I realized how toxic this work “family” is. Friday was the final straw. I have a habit of working on projects to the point I work through lunch and have occasionally (i would say 5 times) asked my boss if I could leave early to compensate for the fact I never took a lunch. She said no then…

My New hotel job won’t let me start working until I can pay $56 for their required uniform! They won’t let me take it out of my first paycheck either.

I got hired to be front desk at Extended hotel, and I went through a Q&A session and sat at a computer for two days to prepare to start work on the floor. I was not told at any point during, that they would require me to pay $56 for their uniform which includes their branded shirt, and two name tag magnets with my name on them for me to wear over the shirt. I only recently got out of bankruptcy because of poor wages not keeping up with rising costs of living, and I had to default on credit to keep being able to sustain keeping my apartment and afford to keep a living. I was in a bad place until I got hired for this job, and they knew this when I passed the interview. I asked if there is a way they can provide it, or I…
