I'll first say the only reason I'm at this job is because it's the only offer I've gotten in months of searching. Basically I'm in a 4 weeks training for a call center and idk if it's just the training equipment or what but they have sooooo many technical issues. I can't imagine this happens during the real thing. People get locked out of their computers daily, links go to the wrong webpage, I can't even do a portion of the training because my password doesn't work. They just keep resetting my password and it still says incorrect and I still can't get in. On top of that half the class is getting paid late and some got paid on time. Every job I've had they have your first paycheck ready to give in your hand. But no, people couldn't log into ADP payroll and the trainer keeps saying “I…
Are they secretly firing me?
I’ve been laid off since July, and for the last few months they’ve extended my layoff by another month every Friday before I was supposed to go back on Monday. I went to my work recently to grab some tools I needed and I saw almost everyone else got called back.
Phones being put up-
So my girlfriend and my friend both work at a chick-fil-a in our city in texas. the managers make them put up their phones the entire time they’re there. i have no clue whether this is allowed or not so i was just wondering.
Work “parties” suck.
I work at a warehouse and my shift is the only shift that has constant pizza and food all the time. I’m grateful that they do this and I don’t mind it once in a while but it’s every other day. I enjoy going on break because being around others is draining to me. I’m the only person of my ethnicity that speaks English as my first language, which is fine but it’s hard to join the convo when others speak the same language. I feel like an asshole for making an excuse to leave and get out of it but it’s EVERY. OTHER. DAY. Some type of holiday, someone got a license, someone’s birthday, just because. Am I the only person who feels like this or am I a jerk lol.
My work had been so toxic
Sorry if this personal venting but I hope it is placed here. And it got really long. So three months ago, I asked HR to move me out of that environment because when I asked my boss to move me out he said that there is nothing he can do but we have to wait for HR. When I finally talked to HR the moment I got there I just feel uncomfortable how they’re typing and recording all my answers. I didn’t even want to tell the boss about this female who is so toxic and each day making my life hell, she just hates me for just existing since I don’t even talk to her, so what would her problem with me is beyond me. The bad about this workplace is they’re so bored and talk shit about everyone as pastime and I became a subject of this gossip.…

Why do I work here?
Went to the ER friday and was diagnosed with Diverticulitis, an infection in the GI. All I can think of is what my job is gonna do if I have to be admitted to the hospital. I'm still in training, and I'm worried they're gonna boot me to the next class and screw me over here. I hate the feeling of prioritizing my job over my health.
Need to stick it out or find a new job?
So I just started a new job three months ago (other job I was putting in the work of 3 people because of being understaffed and had enough. When I put in my 2 weeks notice, boss hired 3 more people in my place.) When I first started this new job, I was informed that if I discussed pay with any other employees I would be terminated and vice versa. Fairly certain that's against the law, and I felt so disturbed I almost got up and left but I had already worked my 2 weeks with the other job so I stayed anyway. I was told when I started they would have to pay me a dollar less than at my current job but every 90 days I would get a dollar raise. I was okay with this. My 90 days is coming up and even though my boss mentioned…
