Also tell them that they smell. One of the few opportunities you can do it, so you should do it. https://preview.redd.it/nz9lp430nska1.png?width=2876&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=74b535ee8fae6c92ff88dabac77d7ba3c0ff7a90

I’m Gonna Fight for This Chance to Improve Things

I realize this is the anti-work subreddit, so delete if not allowed, but I figure the best place to find ways to be a better boss is by asking the people that have been treated poorly by bosses/employers. I possibly have an interview for a big promotion. The manager leaving said I should expect a round of interview questions, but this boss also tends to talk out of two sides of her mouth and is definitely one of the worst managers I have ever had. That said, it's her job I might be taking, as she plans to retire soon. I've been a manager before, but it was some time ago, and this would be overseeing a much larger team with multiple departments. I've always been pretty laid back, fully letting my staff control their employees and manage their priorities as they saw fit – unless I genuinely needed to…

Boss got mad at me at new job cause I didnt wanna stay late

So i just started a job at a place that rhythms with yaco dell. I was working a 11 hour shift on Saturday, 12 to 11pm. It was about 930pm and i was so tired my feet were burning. I was beat. 2 people had called off and we were short handed but we got it done. So my general manager calls me over infront of everyone and says “hey i need you to stay till 1am, i need someone else here and your a shift lead” i was shocked. She didn't even ask if i would do it. She told me i had to stay after a already horrible 9 hour shift. I calmy said “can we speak about this in the office?” She said no and asked why i couldnt just say what i had to say. So i did. I told her i came into work today…

Quitting a toxic workplace, how to do it right?

Hi all! I'm handing in my resignation tomorrow and would like some input. For context, I live in the Netherlands and I have 1 month notice period. I've been working at this place for 2,5 years and it became really toxic about 5 months ago when my team leader quit amd was replaced by direct management. Since then, overtime has been demanded, many emergencies had to be solved by me despite not having the sufficient skills, every week we're reminded that we're not making our target goals no matter how hard we work, all in all it's time to run. My dilemma is mainly about the conflict between how enraged I am by everyone pretending that this working culture is normal and how afraid I am of confrontation. I hate getting in conflicts with people, but I feel the need to say something at this point. So tomorrow I'm handing…

Reimbursement for a non optional Christmas gift?

I started working for this company in June and when December rolled around there was an email saying “we like to give our boss and the owner gifts during this time of year. there will be a large stocking owner's door where you can drop off socks” Then during the holiday potluck the boss received a self warming mug from the office. I thought that was nice. About a week later I got an email asking for reimbursement. I didn't think that was fair nor did we have to option and I didn't want to give my money for someone who I'm sure makes 3x what I make. Am I wrong for not wanting to participate? https://preview.redd.it/r2rc3n8aeska1.png?width=982&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=c68aa581fa12addda0ae9633a72f4a8d1ceb6778
