I mean, I was lucky to not have really terrible bosses, though some are definitely not “optimum”, since nobody is perfect, especially if you have too much power. But reading this sub gives people an impression that 99% of bosses are terrible monsters, lol. Is this due to the nature of this sub or is this reality? Can anyone share stories of good bosses?
I am pretty much always on call and always expected to check my emails. I was hoping to go away for the three day weekend before MLK day for my birthday but she said I couldn’t leave town until after this rehearsal in case they needed me.
Got to hear my late boomer BIL (60) CFO of a credit union yammer on about how millennials do not work hard or have no loyalty to a company, job hop, cry about wanting to work from home (where he thinks they do not work much at all), and have the gall to want work life balance. It was a disgusting conversation that I thought would be appreciated here. He also had to boast about how he worked 40-60 hours per week for decades and gave 30 years of his life to a company like it was a badge.
I'm at my limit. It is taking everything in me not to respond to this face-slapping email. As many of you may know, this season is BAD for plumbing. Lines freezing and bursting everywhere. I worked both Christmas Eve and Day, and we only had 2 other people answering calls with me. We were getting queues of over 30 calls…. For the entire day. We could not handle the volume. There wasn't enough time to cry it out. Customers on hold for over 20-30 minutes. The pressure to keep booking customers when there are no more plumbers available (we get in trouble if we don't manage to book a call). We were understaffed. We were unprepared. Our protocols were not updated for how to handle the high volumes. Whatever. I DID NOT get to be with my husband this Christmas. I had to work. He left town to be with…
I work part time for a small family owned company. I don’t contribute much to my family’s finances, it was just a job to get me out of the house. The owners, husband and wife, are in their 60s. Their son, who is VP, is 40. The son is pursuing an affair with my coworker, I’ll refer to her as “Becky.” VP and Becky are both married with small children. VP and Becky are having an emotional affair (FaceTiming and snap chatting at night while their spouses sleep) and Becky has told me that they’ve made out at work at twice. Becky and I were on friendly terms so she vented to me about it. I hate it, but I just try to overlook it and mind my own business. Becky is very emotionally immature and has been throwing fits at work. She will say that she is not appreciated…
So, I'm talking about a literal utopian society where none of us have to worry about money and we all do what we want. Do you guys think people would still work the restaurants/retail shops/etc? I personally think so. I love retail work (when it's not like… horrible lol) so I could totally see someone taking the role of a waiter or waitress bc they love interacting with people that way. What do yall think?
So as the title says I (23f) put in the work group chat that I need a mental health day and if anyone would be willing to cover my shift. Now most of my co workers are kind and they understand that being a full time caregiver is a lot on mental health but once my relief came in for night shift I was laughed at and mocked for needing a mental health day while they are on antipsychotics and I am too young to need a mental health day. I tried saying everyone deserves a mental health day and they just laughed in my face. I love my job dearly I love taking care of the elderly and being a friend to them but I cannot stand the shitty ass co workers who think just because I am young I am invincible. I am on anti depressants too! I…
