Nothing like verbal abuse from your boss
I have a work history in admin work, and this makes me so ill when these companies do this. I’ve worked in a job before where I was hired as an office assistant and the business owner and office manager would disappear for weeks for vacations, and I would be left to handle every aspect of running the business down to production. Why is this such a common problem with administrative assistant type jobs? Hired as an assistant, paid like an assistant, but expected to manage..

Never expect courtesy from an employer
Employed as a tradesman carpenter 12 months ago as a casual worker while working 40+ hours a week in a time when the company was inundated with work and desperate for an extra hand. Often found myself alone in the workshop working through jobs and tasks for the company with plenty of work to get through however I was more than happy to be thrown in the deep end of a new company while simultaneously helping them out during a time of a heavy work load. Fast forward 12 months and things have quieted down, not as many jobs and the writing was on the wall that there were one to many tradesmen in the company. As I was the only casual at the time despite being under the impression I was on a probation period, I knew the tap on the shoulder was imminent. Returned from my lunch last…

Local Dollar General
So from my last post I already got a couple people mad, but by the comments I think it was well received over all, despite being only 45% upvoted at 0 votes. That should really tell you what kind of a place this is. We all agree that the system we live under is horrible, and yet even people in this space defend it. I even had someone message me trying to get me down. The most common thing is “So you just think everything should be free??” and it's insane, people question me like this as if I'm crazy or something. To answer your question. Uhm, yes? Yes I do. Believe it or not, I don't think I should have to give up my sanity just for me to simply exist. Maybe how it should be is people get paid without doing work, but only have it be the…

should I quit now or hold out?
I've worked at a grocery store for the past 10 months, think discount store from Germany. After one week there, I was depressed and in pain from the NINE HOUR shifts 5 days a week. so, I switched to 3 days a week and felt better. however, I still really hated it. Incompetent managers, entitled customers abusing me daily, coworker drama… A few months ago, the store manager decided call outs were a no-no. one of my coworkers had very legit reasons for calling out, even just once, and got in trouble. then they needed their hours and days of the week to be adjusted, causing the store manager to cut their hours from 5/week to 3. we make more than minimum wage by a few dollars, but they couldn't afford anything with 3 days a week. also the blatant favoritism, a different coworker no-call no-showed for like four days…
