Got a company shirt for our Christmas gift

A fucking shift. That cost 1/6 of what we make an hour, with our branch name lazily ironed on the back. I was insulted at first but now it's just making me angry. For context, last year everyone got custom lunchboxes. Super nice. Yall, we killed it this year, added an entire shift to meet demand. I enjoy my job even if I have my grievances. But seriously a shirt? Fuck you

Thinking of quitting without notice

After careful consideration I think I am fed up with my job. I have a boss that was so willing to suspend me from work for calling into work when I was willing to provide a doctor’s note, then suddenly changes her tune because it’s against policy to do that. On other occasions she’s gossiped to the department about a termination of an employee, talks shit about everyone in the department behind their backs (especially new people), doesn’t train anyone and is very unpredictable. I’m pretty sure she has trash talked me since I’ve been gone so now everyone is against me. I don’t feel that I fit in with that “team”. I have never done an immediate resignation so that’s what makes it hard, but I’m not sure of how much more of this I can take. I’m disrespected on a daily basis.

Do you think if people saw what there boss did with their time they would quit, even disregarding financial responsibilities or work harder for the job / company?

Employer non-chalantly telling me hours I agreed to work will not be paid because I have a PTO day this week

Absolutely livid and could use some support. I take care of a private patient. I work 5 days a week. I am an incredibly reliable employee willing to do literally anything their family needs to make their lives easier. I was asked two weeks ago if I could come early one day this week because my patient has an appointment. I could use the extra money, as I'm a student paying for tuition out of pocket / it's the holidays, so I said sure. A few days later, my patient said something off-handed about my PTO day making up for the earlier start. I assumed he was confused (he has a neurodegenerative disorder; it happens) and didn't think much of it. Flash forward to last weekend, as we talked about the next two weeks ahead, suddenly it was expected that I would come in an hour early *two days* this…

Taking my child’s tips

I picked up my 17 year old child at work tonight. She said the cash register was short tonight. She said it had been short a lot recently. So I asked, “How do they deal with that?” She said, “They take our tips”. I think we'll have a talk with the manager.

For context: set up an interview the previous day for 2 pm. Prospective employer called me at 3pm when I was unavailable. Rescheduled the interview for 2pm the next day and still did not call at the scheduled time.

What are other questions you can ask a potential employer that can tell you how bad that company is other than “what is the starting salary?”

random payroll specialist has a hard-on for me

I have no clue, but she aggressively picked my ticket for a sick day I did not get paid for last month. We sorted it, but she got all sharp with me and called me raising the issue “drama”, to everyone's astonishment. All throughout she insisted I was wrong and said to “not lay blame, especially if you are not so sure of being correct”. I ended up being correct. Now I have taken two days of leave that no one told me required an explanation. My boss had approved those days and everything was fine. Now she is asking WHY I have taken that leave. I have no idea what drug she is doing, but it is causing some major excitement for her and becoming a little creepy. Like is she going to ask questions of my team lead and me every month now because she made an ass…

Thinking about when I quit in August.

In August I quit at McDonald's after working there for about 2 months. I scheduled a week off because I had a camping trip and then after that decided I was done and didn't show up. 2 days after I should have been back I texted my manager some bs about not being able to commute anymore and quitting. Right after I quit I got a new job somewhere I like working better. I just want to know if that is going to effect my future or not or will go on any sort of record besides McDonald's. Thanks
