Girlfriend lost her job.

My girlfriend works at a hotel five days a week. She has only been at this job a month or two. She switched to it from another hotel job because they were horrible with keeping a schedule consistent. (First shift, then second, back to first, then third, etc.. what did they think was going to happen putting one person per shift during Covid, if one person is sick NOONE is there and there is no overlap…) Anyways, there’s the huge snow storm coming (from recently). A day or two before she works during it I warn her she may be able to get home after her shift, but there is no way her 2 wheel drive is getting back to work the next day. My work was already pre cancelled and we never do that so you know it was going to be bad. Anyways, she gets with her manager…

I was working 12-15hr days, 7 days a week. I am disabled and they constantly ignored my boundaries and pushed me to the point I struggled to walk and need intense PT. They also violate HIPAA hourly.

An honest and realistic post on LinkedIn still can’t get the message through apparently. The second image was the first/top comment.

Naming and shaming is important

Discussion is futile without naming companies and reaching out to investor relations or blowing up their twitter.

Should I Be Honest With My Manager at my Performance Review?

I work as an analyst and this is my first real job out of college; been here about two years now, pretty much being WFH the whole time. It was a new field to me but I was catching on quick and even began to Quality Control others within my first year. About six months ago I was asked if I wanted to help train some new people internationally and be sent overseas to help set up and train a new office, but of course Delta happened at that time and things got cancelled. Instead, they had me become a team lead for their international project remotely and put me in charge of a group of 50+ analysts, making work plans, ticket assignments, conducting trainings, running meetings, doing one-on-one “remediations”, pretty much all manager responsibilities. The thing is, I’m still just considered to be at the associate level officially and…

Want to share what happened at my work today with y’all

This is everywhere because I am emotional and pissed. I am currently working in a pretty small kitchen, with mostly teenagers. When I was first hired I was told I was filling the sous position and that I would be getting a raise after a month once I can prove myself. Awesome! There was a miscommunication somewhere I guess and that title quickly disappeared and so now I am just “second in charge”. Whatever. Most of the older people who work in the kitchen work mornings doing prep besides for Friday-Sunday when we serve lunch. Of course, I work nights because I can work two to three stations at once. We just got done a $6k night. The start of my shift the first thing that happened was my “executive chef” pulled me into dry storage to tell me that there is a new sous chef. I, of course get…
