I realized my former job’s small bsuiness owner expects to hire a type of person that doesn’t exist.

$12 minimum wage in a highest cost of living state No salary growth Maximum hours you can have a week is 15 hours. No tips No job growth Very much a dead end job. No benefits with a high job expectation that is equivalent to a $17 per hour pay or with tips. Boss didn't train me and left me on my own after 3 days I started and scolded me for not knowimg anything. Boss is not accountable that it was her fault I didn't know anything because I wasn't trained. She threatened to fire me when my mistake was because I didn't know nor even is familiar yet with an app. An that I have attention to detail issue. I don't even know how the app even works because I just started. Lots of gossiping and talking bad about anyone. To the point the manager texted my partner…

Can they fire me? Best way to handle a situation

Hey guys, I'm in a small company in VIC, Australia and my issue is recently they've basically started to expect that I have 24/7 availability and even though it isn't in my contract, told me they expect me to work on weekends for at least an hour. I want to leave this job – but they've done a lot for me in the time I've been with them so I'm wondering about the best way to go about it… I can either find another job and then just give them 4 weeks notice when I have secured the new job – which seems like a slight 'fuck you' to management – or I can let them know ahead of time as a professional courtesy that I'm going to be moving on from this industry and that I will give my notice when I have secured another position. Is this stupid…

How they just tell us to work more – instead of paying us more

Cant afford food? Well just work an extra 20 hours a month – you will be able to afford plenty then. Getting 2 more Dollars an HOUR? Are you insane? Same goes for kids/a Family or a House or medical care. Its allways work more – never get more.

My boss called me dumb because I wasn’t understanding his directions… from the wrong reference point

I’m a J1 student worker, I’ve been working for a couple of months in a certain hotel in CA and I’ll go back to my country in a month. Recently my boss gave a new list of tasks for my job and it had a few names of places in the hotel I had never heard before, I had visited them but they don’t have the names visible to you, there’s no way I’d know the names. I asked him where are some of the places and he started explaining (very aggressively, but anyway). At some point his directions didn’t make sense, I told him and he said “no, you’re dumb and your understanding isn’t working” (or something very similar, I don’t remember it 100% right and had to translate it). He said “from the stairs…” and THERE ARE TWO FUCKING STAIRS. We had different stairs in mind, that’s why…

I reported a creepy toxic coworker and I’m just tired.

Don't give me the “oh you should feel flattered” bullshit, the last time I dealt with a guy who made creepy comments was from my stalker who followed me for 8 years. The coworker is thrice my age and was also trying to isolate me from the other coworkers by talking shit about me behind my back. I didn't even know about it until they approached me about it and told me to inform them if he starts making issues for me. Well… I hit my breaking point. I reported it to my supervisor today and he did fuck all and the creepy said got attitude towards me and I broke. I went above my supervisor's head and went straight to the department head and made a statement. They were not happy. But they reminded me of something that… I didn't necessarily want to throw around. I'm above that coworker…
