Fuck them all !

Just mistakenly got excited and hopeful for another job and a fresh start with what i thought was a good opportunity for a big outfit who a friend of mine works for and the guy kept talking to my buddy sayin he needed help and couldn’t find good help blah blah .. Well friend called me and me and him spoke on it for nearly three weeks back and forth tryin to get it lined up on the money and details but mostly i kept procrastinating it due to the location . So it’s roughly 3 hours from home and i kept debating it in my head tryin to see if i could justify leaving my home alone all week long and the extra expenditures to get there and sustain .. all that stuff .I live alone as well and have no one to check on my place or do…

Need some help. My best friend got falsely accused of stealing. But they won’t tell him what he stole or show him footage of him stealing it.

This is a weird one (at least for me, I’ve never heard anything like it before). My best friend [19M] just called me, in tears, explaining that he had been fired from his job at a smoke shop for stealing. When I asked him what he stole, he told me that he hadn’t stolen anything. Which I, of course, found strange. He said that his boss called him into his office and said that they had him on camera stealing, and asked him to return the stolen item. However, they wouldn’t show him the alleged video or even tell him what item they were accusing him of stealing. Since my friend had no stolen item to return, they told him that they would be calling the police. It all immediately smelled fishy to me. Why would a business sack an employee for stealing, fabricate a story about said theft, and…

The rich are such babies.

I work at an upscale grocery store and I swear the rich are such entitled little brats. Today I saw a Karen bring back a half eaten bag of tortilla chips because there were too many broken chips in it. Who the fuck does that?

A question about withholding pay

Recently a coworker told me that she received a large bonus, spent it, and then was told by the company she received it in error, and since she can't pay it back, they would simply withhold her next two pay checks. This doesn't seem right or fair at all. Are there any laws being broken here that she could bring up in court, or is she just SOL?

Need help quitting my job! plz help!!!

So I've had this part-time job for 3 months or so and for the first month it was okay and it started to get worse by day. It is a grocery job and it is paying a little bit above minimum wage but the manager is a complete disaster. They had more than five people quitting for the past 7 months in that position and I'm assuming it's all because of her. Even though there are reviews on Google about the manager and how she treats the workers. So I wanted to quit and the owner gave me a 1.50 $/h raise if I stay. And I accepted since the pay was pretty good. Now it's been 2 days and she just keeps talking behind my back with other employees and she just had a fight with the owner because she doesn't like me and the owner started defending me…

Tested positive for Covid and thought my manager was actually worried about me

For context: 4 of my coworkers will be gone next week with covid/vacation and it's a small business (only 6 cashiers), so it'll be a real crunch with only 1 cashier on the schedule. Am I wrong for thinking my manager doesn't care about my health but only when I can come back to work? (Sorry if poor format or content, first Reddit post ever). https://imgur.com/a/0r2e8tk
