I have come to notice that the Subway I work at is fucked.

I am a 17 year old male and have been working for Subway for about a year and a half. My coworkers are lovely and my bosses (I thought) were pretty awesome. A couple of stories I've heard from my coworkers has brought some terrible things to my attention. Firstly, the manager of the store sets up deliveries on all days that she doesn't work, so she doesn't have to do extra work. On the days that she sets up the deliveries to, my coworkers are forced to pick up the slack. In order to get through the morning tasks in time to put the deliveries away, they have to wake up at 6:30ish every morning (normal work time is from 8, to have the store open and accepting orders at 9) and sometimes even earlier, to arrive at the store at around 7-7:30. They are not paid overtime for…

What’s the point of insurance if you still have to pay.

So tired of these companies that take your money each month but when it comes to using it does everything possible to prevent you from getting care.

So instead she has to deal with the pain each night until we can hopefully save up the money after a couple months.

New phone number and I haven’t given it to my employer

Been a month and a half since I disconnected my cellphone to go with a new carrier and decided to get a new number. Told my employer that I didn't have a working line as they have tried calling my old number. Before changing numbers, my employer would constantly call me on my days off or hours before my scheduled shift and got tired of hitting ignore. One day, at the office, my manager starts asking me to verify my phone number as he has tried getting a hold of me. He started reciting my number and I cut him off halfway and told him, “yes, that's my number”. He asks why I haven't answered when he has called as he wants to go over reports and I told him, “I don't answer my phone for work when I'm not on the clock. If you want to discuss reports, we…

“Nobody wants to work anymore” is the death knell of the angry capitalist that can’t afford employees anymore.

The acceptance phase is their realizing they no longer have a viable business and that they never had an ethical one.
