Between a rock and a hard place

I’ve been working at my current job for 9 months and at the 5 month mark my boss told me I would have an evaluation and receive a raise the following month… Obviously that didn’t happen. Not only that, but he’s mentioned that he’s going to get to it TWICE and still hasn’t done it. And here’s the kicker— I’ve mentioned having not received my evaluation twice in front of other staff members and both times I have been verbally reprimanded. Apparently “all I care about is the money” UH YEAH

My paycheck was short because of a schedule change, but the money didn’t show up on the next paycheck. My boss just sent me this.

My car is in a shop thanks to someone smashing into it which has left me on foot for 3 weeks, unable to find work and with no food. I have less than 50 cents in my bank account. There are no real social safety nets in the USA

No systems of public transportation in some areas, no simple way to get food like food stamps, no anything. This is stupid. I hate this country

Boss installed cameras everywhere, including the bathroom.

Boss installed cameras in the building, including the bathroom because he’s convinced people are wasting time on their phone avoiding work. I work for a smaller local supply chain as an admin assistant. My boomer boss has always had a hard on for criticizing the younger generation for no work ethic when he himself inherited both this business and a small amount of wealth from earlier generations. He’s convinced the employees are “stealing time” taking “too long” in the bathroom and has decided to install cameras throughout the building under the guise of security but he’s been stating he also wants to keep tabs on people and monitor that they’re at their workstations, not hiding in the bathroom avoiding work, etc. Not sure if this is even legal but for $15/hr I really don’t feel like being micromanaged to this degree.

Hired, Ignored, Resigned.

​ Full time lurker here! Thought my experience would be fitting. I picked up a job in the first UK lockdown with a frozen food store that shares its name with an artic circle island! We agreed on 2/3 day shifts per week, with a chance of a single night shift every few weeks, it was lockdown, I had nothing else to do, it was fine by me. First rota comes around and I was down to do 5 night shifts. All the while between these messages, he was messaging the group chat and active on whatsapp. (The shifts labelled 1-7 were 1am-7am)

Major Multi-national tech project screwed

Until earlier this year I was the global head of a large digital transformation program at a significant multi-national corporation. I left, sort of mutual arrangement, as I didn’t want to move overseas with my family when the next phase of the project moved to Africa. After we agreed on exit terms, however, I was treated like crap. Completely isolated, and I had zero work to do but wouldn’t be released early as a power trip. Anyhow, when I left they deleted everything, literally everything. Charters, schedules, RAIDs, OCM plans, training artefacts, design workbooks, budgets, all access details for the 50+ tech systems, everything! Guess which company had to go back to almost square one and lost over $45m in dev work and project progress?
