Antiwork

I’m a teenager who works at a swim school that’s under a fairly large corporation. We’re on break from school right now and I was signed up for our Winter Clinic, which is basically a week of 3 hour morning shifts to help kids progress in their skills. I showed up for my first Clinic shift of this week, clocked in, changed into my swimwear, and nearly got in the pool before I was notified that I had been taken off of the whole Clinic schedule and that “someone was supposed to tell me”. I’d planned half of my break around being busy from 12:00-3:30 every day of this week, and now I don’t even have one Clinic shift. What do I even do? I’m still listed as “Working” under the Winter Clinic grid. Is this enough to file a complaint? How would I even go about doing so?? A…

Title phrasing may be off so apologies in advance. I’ve been in my current role now for 4 months – I’m entirely back office and not customer facing, and none of my team works out of the same office. We’re all scattered and communicate primarily through emails or calls, with occasional WebEx meetings. I asked my boss two months ago if I could get a more flexible schedule that allowed me to be out of the office once a week, as I felt comfortable doing my job and wanted to enjoy the flexibility it offers. For TWO months I waited on an answer – she came back to tell me she isn’t ready to offer that schedule because she feels I have more learning and improvement to do. In all my time here so far, nobody has given me any reason to believe I’ve performed poorly. My one coworker in…

I had a very good review a few weeks ago and asked for a raise since my position has changed 4 times in the 1.5 years I’ve been at the company and I’ve taken on more and more responsibilities. I’ve actually always had ‘exceeds expectations’ for all of my reviews at this job. I was denied a raise and also denied any other increase to PTO or etc. My coworker who has been there for over 3 years without a pay increase also asked for a raise at their review and was denied. The man-child of a CEO had been acting weird and offended since all this happened and sent out a company wide (5 people work there ) email last week stating gems like: “There is no guarantee any of you will have a job here in six months—or even six weeks.” “If there are interpersonal issues or unnecessary…

Hi guys looking for help here. I work at a sushi restaurant in California and I’m like 99% sure my owner is stealing tips from the tip pool. How can I report this to have someone look into. I don’t have any proof but the math isn’t adding up from what we make in a shift to what we’re receiving in our paycheck. Thank you in advance.

Can. Someone point to the exact law on claiming tip out in Missouri? My boss basically told me I have to claim cash tips inorder to work there which is whatever, however they require we pay a 2% of total sales in tip out for the hosts. I don't think it is right for me to pay income tax on it and the hosts to pay income tax on those tips but I want to have the law ready in case my boss fights me on it.
