Sandwich place just lowered wages to introduce tips

A buddy who works at a sandwich food chain told me about this. From my understanding, every hourly wage employee took a pay cut as the restaurant started asking for tips at checkout. What’s the solution here? I can’t help but feel like part of the problem as I usually tip everywhere I go that offers. But I didn’t assume that I was supplementing their actual wage. Now I feel like I shouldn’t tip so often, but that only hurts the worker. Was I the only naïve one who assumed tipping was only supplementing servers, and not every other food worker.

Complete lies got me a second interview

Worked as a minimum wage team member for four years, sick of being sold false promises and straight lies by management. Applied for a store manager job elsewhere out of spite and filled my CV with lies, got a phone interview, every other word was a lie. Fast forward two days and I’ve got an interview with the stores regional manager. The wages are more than double mine, even if I can get the job and blag my way through a few months before they realise I have no clue I’ll consider that a success, wish me luck.

I need advice on what to say to my boss about a few issues

This is like my first time posting in this sub so lmk if I’m doing anything wrong, but I’m just so frustrated. So this is probably gonna be a long post. I just clocked out early from my shift (this is the first time I have ever done that) and it’s because of this one shift manager. I’m 19 and still trying to navigate the professional world while navigating through my emotions. I work at this fast food place and tonight we had the lobby closed. I saw a couple of guys in the foyer and asked if they had a food delivery order since I didn’t see any mobile orders. They tell me that the app wasn’t working for them and I hesitated, but I thought it would be fine just this one time to let them in and have them order. As soon as I do, the shift…

Salary Discrepancy

Background: I Started working at a start-up 3 months ago. A coworker and I got into the taboo conversation of salary… I was absolutely shocked to find out that they make $65,000 more than me. We both hold the same position with similar experience in our prior work. This taught me that I was absolutely terrible at negotiating. During my interview they refused to give me a salary range and I fell for the trap. It’s my fault 100% Long story short I find out that out of the 5 of us with this position, I am the only one that didn’t negotiate correctly. The rest have a similar salary to the coworker above. So here is my question. Is there anything I can do to renegotiate my salary? Obviously I would never speak about private coworker conversations. They are currently hiring someone new for a different product specialty (same…

I recieved this text today, after I resigned last Monday. They changed my entire job description from desk work to laborious work 75% of the way through training. How would you respond to this? I feel bait and switched.

“This is Mike. Once training was done with Shelby you were gonna be on my shift. I am your supervisor. We never officially met. I noticed that you wasn't here Saturday or Sunday. I just wanted to know what was going on with those days?”
