Just as the title says my CO worker that I worked with for years got promoted over me to a sales manager position. Backstory: We both work in sales at the same store I actually got her hired at my store she was previously from a smaller location. She had some experience but I really took her under my wing where I had been doing it longer and was a shift manager for a while. I also had trained many newbies and helped run this store for a while. We both have been top in the company for sales but I have been doing this for about 7 years and about 5-6 for my co worker. A new company bought us and opened up new opportunities. So, recently a smaller location nearby needed some help and I was sent over to try and help that store produce. At 1st it…
i normally work 40+ hours a week however next week i’m only scheduled 20. i’m lowkey struggling not to have a panic attack at work right now because i don’t know how i’m gonna be able to afford rent with that. like is that even allowed????
My boss just told me I'm not allowed to miss work because im sick. And that I would have to either find someone to cover me or go to the er to get meds and come in anyway. There is only one other person that can cover my shift because there is only 2 people on night shift and we alternate weeks. I work as a care giver for venerable people. And I only make 8.25 an hour. Corporate America sucks ass.
If you are active, you know even one week of physical inactivity will set you back. If you are grinding, you likely don't have time to keep up a regimen. The people voluntarily working unpaid overtime aren't doing so because they are so love with their work. Yes, they may love their work, but that isn't the sole reason. They are going in because they are lonely. They may have taken a job in a new city and haven't made friends. Or their friends have gotten married and started families and don't have time for them anymore. They may also live far from their families. So they dive into work because when you are lonely, work is a way to give your life meaning. This is the real truth they don't want people to know or even to admit.
My employer is relentless on scheduling me outside of my availability. Is there anything I can use or say to ensure law wise so that I get those days off consistently. I need them to help finish schooling. Thank you!

So my boss is a bit of a narcissist but the guy I was replacing gave me that warning. I needed the job and having no carpentry experience this was an opportunity I had to take. I had worked for him for two years, never late and don’t complain about work load. I always did my best because I have always felt like I have to try harder than the guy next to me to get ahead (it’s a flaw of mine.) He’s routinely added more and more to my work load and extended the hours that I work whenever I was given a raise. I get paid by the day not by the hour btw. So he’s been having some health issues so I’ve tried to be patient and understanding to him. I know he’s gonna be having a small procedure done on his heart (apparently he has one)…
I’m not working on Sunday. Been an all around amazing experience at the new job until today. Manager slacks me my schedule for entire quarter, I have to FRIDAY SATURDAY AND SUNDAY 11-730! So this on its face is not necessarily what irks me, but the fact that during the interview process I was led to believe that there would have been a discussion prior to the end of training about scheduling. This I find to be extremely disrespectful, not even to be handed it in person and basically told this is when you will be here for the next 3 months. I have never, ever experienced this in any position I have held prior to this. At the very very very least I have been given something to write preferences onto, even if they’re not honored. (Unless it’s M-F 8 hrs) Not in retail, not in service, never. There…

It’s been 11 months..
11 months ago I along with the rest of the company was laid off. Between severance, poverty finance lifestyle (full life of training) side gigs, and my savings I’m still fine to pay rent + bills for another year. I’m struggling to put together my resume to start applying for jobs in my field. I know I should, but the nagging inside keeps aiding in my hilarious and elaborate reasons for putting it off. How do you get motivated for returning to the work force after nearly a year when you’ve been full time dedicated working for decades? I’d love to hear anyone’s personal experience on this one.
