How is baiting and switching in retail illegal but baiting and switching perfectly fine when it comes to wages?

So many stories on here about a certain wage and then, “oops that's not right” when it comes to being hired. How is that even legal? If I did that where I work you sure as shit know if be drawn, quartered, reviewed and investigated for being a shitty person. Just blows my mind

Code words when looking for jobs

Looking for: Competitive pay= as low as we can give you. Self motivator= no training and you must figure out the job on your own. Ambitious= will you work hard for empty promises and low wages? Benefits= unless you make more than $20 an hour, you cant afford our health insurance. Fun staff= back stabbing and brainwashed co workers whose soul has been sucked out. Fast paced= Who needs Osha when you can run around all day, dodge safety issues, and be expected to meet unattainable quotas. Advancement opportunities= only for buddies of the current managers. Adaptable= put up with us yelling at you and making your life miserable. Experienced= A Masters and a nobel prize for our entry level job. Versatile= We don't know what we are doing and this position has crappy work that no one else wants to do. We offer you as the scapegoat for our…

Regional Manager withholding my leasing commissions ($3,000) until I complete 12 online training classes; F-middle mgmt!

I'm an Assistant Community Manager for Thrive Communities Management in Seattle, making $20 hr, new to the industry hired three months ago. Apparently, my regional manager decided to withhold my leasing commissions for not completing online training courses, because running two site's/200 residents/160+ units wasn't enough. Middle managers/corporate do nothing but look for ways to screw over employees and dodge responsibilities. Here I am homeless, leasing apartments all day at insanely high amounts, and a regional manager who has spoken to me once is withholding the money I desperately need for a place to live – for nothing. Thanks for letting me get this off my chest antiwork.

My interview was bullshit

I had a job interview for a line cook position. The manager asked for my resume multiple times via email beforehand and I did not own a printer or have a car so I didn’t print out a physical copy for the interview. When I arrived they asked me who was conducting the interview with me. I have anxiety and the name from the email I received was difficult to pronounce so I said “I’m not sure.” The manager sits me down and tells me I should be embarrassed for not bringing a resume and not knowing the name of the person interviewing me, acted like it would be ridiculous to even consider me at this point. She told me to come back the same time tomorrow to “try again.” I didn’t go back. Even if it was bad for me not to have a resume the pretentious attitude of…

Master’s Degree – No Pay Raise but OT

My boss asked me today what I plan on doing when I finish my masters (finishing this semester, so very soon!) and I told him, I plan on asking for a raise. He told me I might get more money because I can work overtime since I'm not in school. So basically, I'm looking for a new job in a few months.
