I’m just wondering what the benefits of a swing shift are.

I work M-F, 8hr day shift. Am I missing something? Some of the companies in my area only offer swing. Week 1: Days Week 2: Afternoons Week 3: Midnights Rinse and repeat. What's the tactic? Why can't these companies just hire the people who prefer day, mid, or night?

Bosses always says “back in my day, I worked +12 hours per day…” but if you ask them if they want to go back and left their “Fridays off”, “going home sooner”… the answer will probably be “so, about the report…”

So, back in my old job (with I quit while my boss was on vacation to go to a better opportunity after 1 year of moral abuse, I may tell you guys in other post…) My boss ruled by comparison with himself. “When I worked at…..” And “My team knew half of what you know and made more…” Where common things to hear in my daily life. But there's one thing that pissed me off. He just spend all of his days looking at fishing videos instead of working, and the job that was supposed for him to do was just passed down to me and my teammates. Long history short, I was even putted to do presentations for his brother (who worked for another company) while he did his daily thing, just to receive a comment such as “when I was your age I worked 12 hours and did…

Sometimes the right answer is to ask a better question

There are a lot of people asking how to get more money, wealth or comparing socioeconomic classes. A better question could be what would I need to feel wealthy? How much money do I need? Etc And then subsequently asking why? And to the response of that why? And why again until the true answer is received. That answer is the answer to the question we haven’t thought to ask and it will be what changes everything. Change yourself=change the world. Thanks

Creepy Micromanager advice

I currently do graphics for a warehouse that sells candy and other things you’d find in a gas station. My boss is a dick and micromanages the employees he doesn’t like (me for example). To give some context: I was promised an office upon hiring but that was revoked because I spent 15 minutes in the restroom on my first day. I initially used my phone to take photos of the product, great spreadsheets, etc which was very productive and helpful to the job (I had to create my own systems since there were none in place already), but he’s banned me from using my phone now because he doesn’t like seeing it? I do most of my work in a back office (the one that was supposed to be my office) and initially this gave me a bit of privacy where I could discreetly listen to some music while…

I am being forced to office from tomorrow

So I work in customer support for an American telecommunication company and for a few months I had work from home, but today I got a text from my manager that you and 4 other agent will have to report for office from tomorrow. Covid cases are increasing and there is even night curfew on weekends, which don't always coincide with my week offs. My shift starts at 1:30 AM and it ends at 11 in the afternoon. The reason that my manager gave for calling me to office was that my score for this month is not good enough. I work in chat support and our score is calculated by a survey form that customer fills after a chat. The survey form is from 0-10 where only 9 and 10 are promoters while 7-8 are neutrals and 0-6 are detractors. The formula that they use to calculate the NPS…

I want to quit because I’m scared, but I’m scared to quit…

Hello, this is my first time making a post here, but I've been a long time “lurker”, I've been working part time at McDonald's, the pay is as expected, though I don't mind the job itself even though it's very hard for me as I'm small and not very strong physically but lately, I want to quit, because I'm scared. Every day something dangerous happens, two customers fighting today, a guy with a knife the next, someone mildly attacking a member of the staff, it always narrowly escapes me but until when? There are teens that hate me because the rules says I'm not allowed to let them vape so I report them. They literally growl at me when they pass by me (which I used to find funny) but then one of them straight up threaten to stab me today. I think they're not serious, I mean they're just…
