I’m here to vent, and I basically never post, so forgive my formatting if it’s terrible. I used to work for a special kind of pharmacy. It was small but very profitable back in its heyday. I wish I had heeded the warnings on Glassdoor before I accepted the position, but I naively thought “it can’t be that bad”. Among other things, they have been raided by the FBI for illegal drug distribution. They routinely preformed what us seasoned vets called “Purges”, or arbitrarily firing a few people from every department to keep costs down. I have seen instances where drugs were shipped to a state we weren’t licensed in. Oh, and one time a manager was fired for logging onto her team’s computers after they left for the day. They were required to all use the same password, so she knew how to log on…

People of reddit! I come to you in dire need of advice! Today is my breaking point working as an In Room Dining Coordinator for a prestigious Inn and Spa in my area. Not only is my company overworking me, but my boss is a rude, racist, sexist, transphobic nightmare. I would go in to details now but first and foremost I need advice on how to quit. I just finished my shift for the day and I an currently sitting in my car trying to gain enough bravery to walk in to HR and tell them I'm done. I'm so anxious it feels like there's a hive of wasps buting and stinging their way out if my body. I don't want to work another day and I don't want any retaliation. I've been nktbubg but the perfect little puppet and I'm done. I have another job already lined up…

I am a Lead at my company. My coworker works so hard and puts in so much overtime, more than me. I recommend him to become a lead also. They said “yeah we're working on it.” I felt good that i was helping him succeed and it cost me nothing to put in a good word so why not. He truly deserves it. today he said “i got a promotion!” i acted surprised like “no way! thats great!” but when he told me the position, it was not a lead. i told him to update his resume, he was confused. I said “are you atleast making $xx an hour now?” he said “no but im close…” and he added that “in six months, they said they will make him a lead.” I said “why would they even tell you that, why not just give it to you now, you deserve…

Throwaway account just in case Quitting my job has been something that I'd been thinking heavily about since the beginning of the year- actually, since October, but in January my boss said some inappropriate things to me (not sexual, just threatening my career with inappropriate language when I did something they didn't like, I won't go into specifics because I have a feeling it would be TOO specific) that just sat wrong. I'd already been miserable for so long because my office could easily be working from home 80% of the time but we weren't because of the boss's personal preference. We sit in a basement for 9 hours a day, when the work we DO get done takes MAYBE 3 or 4 hours. The rest of the time was just trying not to break down at my desk with nothing to do but not being allowed to leave. The…

So my sister works at a waxing salon, and today while she was with a customer someone came in and robbed the store at gunpoint. The manager, who was the only person at the front, gave the robber the money and he left, and nobody was harmed. Afterwards the police came to do their rounds of questions, take fingerprints, and left. The manager called the district manager, and the district manager insisted that the employees continue the workday. For anyone who has worked in in customer service positions and has been in similar situations, is this typical? I think it's cruel to make someone who just had a gun pointed at their face keep working as if nothing happened, but I want to know if this is expected working in customer service, or if the district manager is being a special kind of asshole.

Not sure if this is the correct place for this. I am a single dad of 2. I had been working for this company for 3 years. they recently laid me off on 1/23/22 due to downsizing and budget cuts. they still have not paid me, they owe me 12k. I keep getting the run around being told a date then it is pushed back when the date comes. I live and work in CA. After bills and a recent car repair I'm pretty strapped. Do lawyers for this kind of thing charge up front? They're not a large company but surely should have enough to pay me by now if not I think they may have bigger problems.

I think I may be SOL but I wanted to check. I’m a contracted office manager who’s client location is being shut down. There are no other offices for this client within 200 miles and I have absolutely no interest in working at the other offices my employer contracts with locally. When this office is officially closed can I turn down a transfer to the same position at another location and still be eligible to collect unemployment? I’m in Texas. I’ve wanted to quit this job for a minute so if I can ride out the clock with a dwindling workload then collect unemployment while I look for something more suitable that’d be ideal.

In Colorado. Apparently I didn’t have any, although the program we use that has all of my employment information said I did, they didn’t tell me and I had just found out some time later. Not sure what to think of this but I think it’s pretty shitty?
