How do you move on from shitty customers

I'm 16, recently was waiting at the commonwealth powerlifting champs prize-giving event (third time working in my entire life). I was picking up empty drink glasses and stacking them when a woman at the table banged her head against my tray (my fault, I should have probably announced I was behind her) . An empty can fell on her, I apologised and picked it up. An old (drunk) Scottish man at the table got incredibly angry and started demanding I give her a complimentary drink because I spilt a drink on her (I didn't spill anything, it was an empty can). I told him I couldn't do that, because minors can't serve alcohol and I don't have the power to give out free drinks. He got even more angry and got up off his table, started following me as I left to the clearing station. During this he kept yelling…

Corporations are corrupt

I'm sick of companies only caring about profit, it's disgusting, within the same week, the company I'm working for pats themselves on the back at their holiday company dinner for being one of the few companies that have been around for 100 years on the US stock market. The same dinner in which they thank the workers for their Record high profits profits of which are in the dozens of millions. Within the same week they inform us that do to over production they will be removing and pushing down people in positions, and me being the man on the bottom of the totem pole. Just trying to get more work experience in CNC operations, has to move to shipping or packing or find a new job. Those positions also come with a multi-dollar pay cut. I might be just complaining, but I'm tired and stressed that I can't afford…

Help! I need to quit

Hello. I (F20) and leaving my job at a plasma center. The reason you may ask? New manager treats everyone like shit and I can't stand it, co workers degrade me and tell people l'm shitty at what I do (for context I'm a phleb but I have my LPN but they claim I'm “too young” yet I did early graduation and started college early?), they promised me a certain shift and now the new manager who hates me decided to stick me on the shift I hate. I asked to talk about it but she blows me off. Side note I also have three other jobs who would love to have me. But how do I say this company pushed me over the edge it's effected my mental health so bad I contemplated if I even belong here with “world”. Advice? Need some savage comments on how to say…

Hypothetically, can a business owner monetarily fine contract workers? eg. Contract workers are NOT paid by the business owner, they are paid directly by clients. BO wants to place $ fines on contract workers who are sick and unable to attend work. in Canada, is this hypothetically allowed?

Net Profit (Employee Production) vs Employee Pay

ā€‹ https://preview.redd.it/lokwk25ovt4a1.jpg?width=2048&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=a4ac2c596407b069cf272987a9852b6038bf55a2 For those that may not know, net profit is the term used for profit after expenses, meaning this is the money left over after the company pays all its bills. It's the money sitting in their bank account at the end of the day.

Has anyone quit FT employment to start their own business?

Hi everyone. I'm a social worker at a hospital in Canada. I'm completely burnt out. Currently taking some time off to catch up on the massive pile of things I couldn't do while working because the job was destroying me. And I mean even doing simple things, like paying a bill or going to medical appts felt impossible with how exhausted I was. Honestly, the job itself wasn't horrible, the field is meaningful to me, but I have a horrible manager who constantly micromanages me and is extremely condescending, which has killed my self esteem and motivation to go above and beyond in the work. I'm dreading returning to work, and am considering quitting altogether to start a private practice. I have a few months of savings so I know I will be okay as long as I watch my spending and actually put in the work to get the…
