I’m so tired I just want to cry I’m trying to help and covering for everyone I can and just trying to keep them from having to deal with complications but I can’t anymore. I’m not even getting paid anymore and I don’t care if I do I just want to sit here and cry I’m just so tired. I just gave up on writing my hours down for this week cause I can’t even remember what mornings I was going in and was too zoned out to remember to write them down when I was closing. I don’t care if I get paid anymore I just want to give up on everything and stop trying. This is nonsense I am sorry I don’t even know if this type of post is allowed but I don’t even have anyone to talk to.

Slow to hire replacements
Within the last 6 months we’ve lost 2 employees and a 3rd was fired. Naturally, everyone’s work fell onto me. Even prior to this, my boss has entrusted me with work that he didn’t/doesn’t feel comfortable giving to anyone else. I confronted my boss and he couldn’t understand why this would be frustrating for me.. and he peppered in some insults. A few weeks pass and NOW they finally hired 2 employees – 1 is a temp with zero experience. They hadn’t even posted a job listing until I complained. They expect to hire 1 employee within 3 months and then another 6 months or more after that to replace the temp. I’m expected to take on even more work (I’m already slammed) and provide training for no extra pay. My company regularly brings in multi-million $ settlements and yet they underpay and provide next to no benefits. My boss…
I’ve heard this a lot by a lot of right wingers and baby boomers. Since I’m an immigrant as well I disagree but I want to know you guys thoughts on this.
One of my best ones is I was working at a large supermarket store when I was 19yrs old, on the Deli counter. I booked off a day 4 weeks in advance because I had a ticket to a gig for my birthday, and the day before I was supposed to go I was told I couldn't have it off because there was no one available to work the solo 4:30-8:30 shift (I had to travel an hour to the gig so I'd miss it completely with this shift). I argued but didn't win and they made me work it. So I started my 4:30 shift the next day and just began all of my “closing up duties” and managed to close the entire deli bar down by 5:30. I then just left and went to the gig and no one ever noticed. (And I still got paid for the…
https://www.mprnews.org/story/2022/02/11/st-paul-teachers-union-to-hold-strike-vote-next-week Community: Can we fund public schools equitably, rather than based on parents' income? ALL kids deserve a fair chance. My child's future should not depend on generational wealth and the zip code I can afford to live in. Billionaires: I'm not paying for your kids to have the confidence to refuse my poverty wages. What if we treat public education like a hostile takeover business? We can hire CEOs Superintendents who gut schools from the inside and sell the parts to their competitors charter schools. Then we can tell the poors that they are responsible for their children's failure to get ahead, because they had the CHOICE of which revolving door of charter schools their kids attend. Union Educators: Ok, but you'll have to come for us first. “I voted yes for mental health supports for boys and girls!” #StPaulStudentsDeserve #timeisnow

Stand up to my boss.
I am expected to come into work, goto my computer, sign in to three apps, then 4 more, then at my shift start time, hit a main sign in. The mainsign in takes about 2 minutes to set up, then work starts. I am expected to do about 5-8 minutes of sign in on work equiptment and set up my work area. Before I clock in. I brought this up to my manager, and they made every excuse why this is ok. “Well its standard you be ready to work the secons you clock in. Its like hanging up your coat when you get home. And I am fine with that, but I said, “thats my coat, yeah I hang it up. But this is work systems, and generally, I am being asked to do work before signing in. I understand that is the status quo, but it does not…
Will it forevermore be a part of looking for a job to be forced to pretend that, indeed!, yes!, I've been groomed from my TWELFTH YEAR OF AGE to be a drone for your “Yet Another Soulless Brand™®©” The best part is where they think the sole possibility to be a slave for their brand is somehow a pay in and of itself.
Fuck you. I don't care about how your company is trying to make the world a better place, about how well you say you treat your employees and about how you are actively “shaping the future” (real thing I saw a company write on their website). If you are trying to hire skilled global remote workers and pay them based on the compensation where they live (most workers are from underdeveloped countries), I fucking hate you. I hate you because you are at the very least, full of shit. You are a predator, becase you look for human beings at their most vulnerable state and even though you knowingly have the upper hand to pay them fairly, you prefer not to. I fucking hate you because you make me question my worth. When you offer to pay me 20k USD to work for you, do you really think I don't…
