As the title says, the hot water works and then it doesn’t. The plumber has come every day and says it’s “fixed” just for it to stop working again. I’ve been told not to wash my hands, they’re washing dishes in cold water, and there hasn’t seem to be any thought about shutting down until it’s truly fixed. Management and ownership only seems concerned about making money, not about safety. I’m starting to feel a bit sick since I’m in gross conditions all day every day without proper sanitation methods, while of course in a pandemic. I really like my job and working there but I kind of want to report it to the health board? Oddly enough the health inspector came in on the off chance that the hot water WAS working. Five minutes after they left, it was down again. Got an excellent rating, meanwhile staff is being…
I fucking love this sub!!!!
This makes absolutely no sense
Store Manager’s “Special” Position …
This happened around a year or two ago at my last job, but I've just got to get it off my chest. I regret not telling someone about it back then. At the time, I was working at a large chain retail store, and had been there around a year. My husband and I were newly married, and I was working part time and he was going to college full time. After my husband had finished college, he was looking for a part time job in the area so we could both start raising money towards a big move. My work was very short staffed. We had a lot of good, qualified people leave due to some problems with management (go figure). One night when closing with my store manager, I approached him asking if we were hiring for a very specific position (I knew we were). If you've worked…
Okay so, I no longer work this job for several reasons. But when I was a pre-k teacher, there would be black out days where no one could request that day off. I remember one month, EVERY SINGLE DAY that month could not be requested off. I was very confused on how this could even be legal. I asked some coworkers and they just said “well… it’s a busy month.” Um then… maybe management should hire more teachers. That’s not my problem. Glad to be out of the preschool system in general because teachers are treated and paid like shit.
Preliminary definition: an authentic human work is the effort consented to produce or create, in order to realize a project fulfilling the person who carries it out. If work is not this consented effort, but a forced act, it becomes violence, constraint. If work realizes a project alien to the person who performs it, it becomes dispossession of his act, alienation from himself. If work does not develop a disposition, a talent, a potentiality of the one who performs it, it becomes withering, atrophy. In inauthentic work as defined here, which forms the immense mass of work done on earth, the individual is asked to stay in the checkroom: in fact, what is done generally involves only his organs such as the hand or the brain. Organs that are no longer his, but belong to the production process that is foreign to him. Individuals not being (or not yet)…

Which must have been an especially great job this past Christmas, when despite record profits Team17 slashed staff bonuses.” What in the fuck is this? UNIONIZE THE GAMING INDUSTRY NOW.
Hypocrite of a boss
For context my sister boyfriend and I work at the same gas station. I only pick up winter hours since the concrete company i work for cant give me enough hours. Last week i had to call in due to the passing of my bosses father. I called in over 36+ hours before my shift. My boss for the concert company asked if I could run everything while he is gone. I wouldn't say no as that would have put us behind since we had three days of good weather in a row. The boss at my part time job said alright my shift was covered. Sunday The day of my “covered” shift she called me asking if i could come in. Luckily I rearranged my schedule and my schedule to make it work. All while im doing the job of 3 people for my full time job. Monday rolls…
Because here's my situation: So a while ago, I looked on my credit reports and noticed that my student loans were listed. Now I left this alone for a while because my loans have been deferred for some time now. I haven't graduated yet due to unique circumstances, so I didn't think it would affect my score. And then the other day, I looked more into my reports… I can now see that one of the reasons my future applications for credit can be denied is due to me having outstanding loan balances. That reasoning was not listed when I last checked. But I don't have outstanding loan balances. My student loans are deferred and all of my other debts on the reports are paid off. No other loans are listed. I am currently in the process of correcting this. And I don't want sympathy, I just want as many…
