It’s 4 am an I’m working because my boss threw a tantrum

There’s this huge project we’re working on, it’s been on the roadmap since November, and one of the core tasks depends on the department I’m building, and I’m sayin “I’m building”, because last year my department was non-existent, we had to create the processes, slowly buy the tools and equipment and now we have this huge task in front of us. We’ve delayed the project about three times now, our last deadline was set up to next week, I was in a meeting with other managers and decided that we were able to make the mark if a few (about 9 guys) worked 2 extra hours every day till Friday, not a big deal, we get done with the meeting and head back to work. My boss, the owner of the company, calls a meeting about 5 minutes after this, he asked about the project, we try to explain what’s…

I’m a front line social service provider who’s worked through the pandemic. How do I approach my boss about requesting accommodations for the health problems resulting from stress of being in crisis mode for 2 years?

I love to see folks' stories on here about walking away from the bullshit job that didn't value them. I've thought of myself in a different boat since my job actually feels I'm helping my community (distributing govt funding that helps lower income ppl pay their bills). But my work has gotten harder and harder as my organization loses employees and my stress levels are feeling unmanageable. I've complained to mgmt about the additional responsibilities but have also had an attitude of, I've got to keep going because if I don't do this no one will (usually an irrational thought, but in this case possibly true as they've been unsuccessful at retaining staff or finding applicants). I've finally reached the breaking point where my stress is manifesting in physical illness, anxiety attacks, and sleepless nights. This is probably predicated on the fact that I am being forced to go back…

Looking for people in the UK (especially Scotland)

Hello all, I'm fairly active in here and want to actually start activism to improve workers rights and pay in the UK. Our government is a farce; it does not serve the people. No political party does. There is no representation of the working classes, even from parties that proclaim such. Our country is at a desperate point; regardless of your political leaning or ideology, the simple fact is that many if not most of us are in for a pretty shit couple of years – especially with the rise of fuel costs, impeding levels of inflation, and total lack of government empathy. Does anyone know of any non-partisan/cross party grassroots movements who are specifically aimed at tackling the inequality of wages rates and working conditions? If not, why don't we form one? Individually we are slowly chipping away. But the wall is tall and the people behind it have…

My company creates products that explode

I work for a relatively small car charging manufacturer, I’ve been there for about 13 months and it’s grown but it seems to be capped now, the progress they made is now reverting. Yesterday one of the QC guys was showing everyone the product that exploded due to the earth cable not being torqued properly, they had another that had a similar but not as catastrophic issue from the same time. I regret not taking a photo of it and getting the word out that this is what their products do as the place is an awful place to work. they wanted to cover it up but somehow that hasn’t happened lol. Is there anyway I can still ruin their image a little?

All corporates are working together in order to work against us!

Remember the nice Crazy Otto's Empire Diner and their illegal recruitment policies which exclude those on psych meds? Well all the negative comments left have not been removed. Google are basically supporting someone else's illegal behaviour

Why not just post the salary for everyone?

​ If it's so competitive wouldn't you want to prove it and share that information with everyone else?

We need to talk about the PPP Loan scam that is happening.

There are so many Companies pretending to hire people. They only do this to keep the PPP scam alive. Companies have gamed the covid help. Companies have figured out that they can out out fake job postings and get away with it. These companies collect ppp loans with the intent of hiring people. However, they have zero intent to hire someone.
