Just had our secret Santa in the office. I was the only one who didn’t receive a gift. Guess who had me, the boss….

Earns over twice as much as me and can’t be arsed to spend £10 on something novelty to join in the fun. Didn’t even get an apology, just ‘you’ll get it at some point.’ I know it might sound petty but I’m constantly asked to do things outside of my job description. We’ve had no Christmas bonus or anything, just shows how much I’m appreciated…

Pay back unacrued PTO or it goes to collections?

Not sure if this fits this sub. I recently quit a job. They sent me a letter saying I have to pay back overused PTO. Its about a day of PTO i used that i didnt actually acrue. They said this will go to a collection agency. The issue I have is that they didn't deduct it from my last paycheck. Shouldn't they have just deducted from my last paycheck? Why are they sending this now?

I finally stood up for myself

So I started looking for jobs. I had a hiring manger for a big facility reach out to me, unprompted based on my LinkedIn profile. After three interviews (both over the phone and zoom) they finally decided they wanted to interview me in person. To preface this, after I was initially contacted by this manager he had me write a cover letter, formally apply to the website, redo my resume, and I also purchased nice interview attire, and studied up on the company and some areas in my field that I was lacking in. The whole time this team of managers are assuring me that I have the role. Like I said, three virtual interviews later… They just want to meet one final time but in person. (They cancelled on me twice for my final interview that was scheduled over zoom before finally saying it needs to be in person)…

bathroom movie marathon

been sent to the bigger location of the store i work for because the one i usually work at is way less busy and my manager doesn't give a shit that it's almost impossible for me to get to the this location, but they didn't even know i was supposed to be here and keep forgetting about me so i am taking full advantage and watching all the hunger games movies in the bathrooms until my shift is up because fuck this nonsense

It’s hard to take some of these applications seriously. This isn’t even a janitorial position.

My little hell

I can’t even begin to say how messed up my life has become ever since I joined my company. I’m a 21 year old guy in a corporate job and my job and my working environment is so hellish. I’ve got stomach ulcers now and my mental health is the worst it’s ever been. I’ve read stories on here about dystopian hellholes and I never imagined I would have a similar experience of running for blood tests during lunch breaks while I get shit for not picking up my phone while being sick. Time to accumulate as much responsibility as possible and leave with no warning 😉
