A multi-billion dollar company that rhymes with ‘hive station’ gave us socks as a year end gift. Are they nice socks? Sure. Do I need more socks? No. Not trying to sound ungrateful but considering the amount of money this monopoly makes, socks seems pretty silly to me. I mean they could have donated those socks to shelters or those in need. We work our tails off throughout the concert season- please don’t insult us by giving us socks! Donate that money towards a better cause.
I left a two page note on my side work duties page and it has caused an uproar at my work and it has now involved HR (could be good or bad) and no one has spoken to me about it… However, I’m typing a statement detailing some things that I will be putting into my write up/report and just because I am a tad crazy, I want to include several points in the Mississippi labor law that will drive my point home for several situations with one being we have a racist, homophobic, ableist shift supervisor and the other two out of three shifts are not keeping up with their side work duties and my shift has to pick up the slack.. I have planned to quit this job next month but I honestly have a heart for my coworkers who are scared to stand up to these people…
I hate my job. I’m antisocial because I want to be the forgotten employee. I don’t want to make small talk and pretend to care about someone’s kids I just want to clock in, clock out then go home. Call me antisocial I don’t care, I just don’t want to force painful small talk with people 10-20 years older than me with bad coffee breath who only talk about the weather or football with such a depressing somber tone in their voices no matter what they talk about. I hate offices so much and I’m glad I only have to be there twice a week. This job aged me years in months it’s so fucking dull and I come in every time with a look of resentment on my face and pity for those trapped in this prison of a job, whose best years are far behind them, only promising…
I am unable to provide a urine test even though I am clean. Most companies don't allow other that I will pay for to show im clean. I can't get a job now because my brain refuses me to piss in a damn cup with someone right behind a door. I'm so frustrated
My boss every night keeps asking me the same question every night and every night I give him the same answer. Like this… “are you scrubbing all the buildings?” I reply “sure am :)” is he just checking up on me or being a dick?
That's pretty much it. Whenever I show initiative at work, upper management treats me like shit.
My SO works in a large retain chain in a mall which consists of two areas: the main floor with merchandise and the stockroom. For my state, OSHA requires indoor temperatures >65F, but the store has no HVAC active. The temperature of the main floor was measured to be 64F while that of the stockroom is 57F (this was done on a relatively warm day). It’s so cold some days that my SO has literally gotten frostbite. The store manager said that the corporate and mall managers allegedly won’t do anything about it, but she doesn’t want to bother escalating it herself. I want to submit a tip to OSHA myself, but the issue is that the stockroom is so cold that the employees brought in a space heater. I’m worried that they might get in trouble if OSHA comes to inspect since it’s a somewhat cramped space with fabric…
