Antiwork

Hey so my wife works in logistics and was given a good promotion as a buyer 6 months ago. She understood that they had to fill her position and they finally have someone starting. She was told she would receive her new pay as soon as she was training the new guy and training in her new position. Today HR told her she would not be getting her new pay untill she was doing it 100%. They claim was that she would be switching from non-exempt to exempt and they cant due to FLSA. I call bull shit. So basically my questions is Going from non-exempt to exempt at same company to a different position but still working in non-exempt position. Can you get your exempt pay if not working in new position yet because company is holding you in non-exempt position for coverage reasons?

I have a boss who is nice as long as you pretend everything is always fine and there are no issues. I have long-covid because I didn't take the time I needed to rest originally, because my boss doesn't 'like' when I take time off. I sent her a message and she didn't respond for over an hour, so I sent one to our grand-boss who replied (and who is LOVELY) I got a terse message back from my boss after that and know she's passed at me for both needing the day, and then for telling our boss I won't be in. I don't feel well. But now I feel guilty and anxious on top of it and wish I'd just gone in. I am so sick of this. I'm tired and sick. I want to cry. My boss is devoid of empathy but thinks she is not. Just…

As the title says. I am a bartender at a restaurant. When i applied, the manager and i agreed that he would pay me the minimum wage. I am not going to name the restaurant (not yet). But as i said. The minimum wage where i live is 14.25 and is expected to go up in May to 15.25. But i am being paid less than 14.25. He is actually been paying for the last six months 13.50. I will talk to him this weekend about it. What would you guys recommend if he denied me the actual wage? Should i quit on the spot?. I have a very excellent relationship with the entire restaurant staff, including my boss but it doesn't justify it being underpaid. The law is the law. What should i do? Should i report it? Should i quit? Please refrain from insulting or offensive comments. Thanks

My boss (lets call him Gary) has been making “jokes” to customers about how I make more money than him (which is a fucking lie) and cutting my pay while I’m in the room. To paint a picture for you without being too specific, I have a technical school degree and make $5 over minimum wage and 40% commission on sales. I bring home about $600 after taxes on a good month. My boss Gary on the other hand has apparently made $3000 this month already. He gets the remaining 60% of my commission and 100% of his own sales profits go to overhead or into his pocket. His colleagues pay a larger portion of the rent than he does. He SERIOUSLY undercharges for his services compared to local competition, so if he’s struggling its nobody’s fault but his own. He has a mortgage, a few kids, and his wife…

Company gave me an option of a paid week off for spring break, but only gave me a choice of a few different weeks. Yeah I should be grateful…fuck that, I have 0 pto hours and get only accrued sick leave. I got a paid week of vacation, but give me only two weeks to choose from. I asked if I could choose a different week, they said no. Might just give them two weeks myself.

I used to get paid to take care of my mom. I stopped in August 2022. In December, I got a paystub in the app where they post paystubs showing a check for $500 that was paying out my sick PTO. I thought cool, but I was nervous because I moved and I thought they might mail it out. I called them to change the address and they confirmed it would be mailed to the new address. Not having received it, I called them today to ask if they mailed it out yet. Now they are claiming that I shouldn’t pay attention to that check stub because my PTO was paid out in November. I checked my account and it never hit. I called the bank and they never got a payment from them in November. I requested the paystub that supposedly paid my PTO in November and even though…

Filling out a state government form for utility assistance and there's a line that asks “Is anyone on strike? If yes, name of person.” Why this would be relevant? Like, if I'm striking for better work conditions, what difference does that make to a state government agency?

It came out to a 2.78% raise.

I work for a private health company that deals with people on the spectrum. My boss is a very interesting person. She does a lot of sketchy stuff and tries to get out of giving her employees benefits/pay. I’m not too worried cause I’m sure that she’s gonna get sued by one of the employees soon. I started off as data entry, in which I would copy and paste data to different websites, and then undo it because the boss lady didn’t like the way it looks or whatever reason she gave. Two months into me working there she comes to me with an offer to take the place of her HR person, and if I ran out of things to do in that position, I could come get extra hours doing data entry. I took it because I was bored. Well two weeks into being the poorly informed HR…

So I’m a low-level manager at a global manufacturing company. I disagree with how my company treats and pays its hourly associates on a whole, but one thing we do right is pay employees double for working on holidays. Supply chain demands we work on MLK day? Ok, but we’ll pay you twice as much for your hours worked that day. However, TIL staffing companies don’t pay that out. We hire through temp services meaning everyone has to work a set amount of time through a temp agency before being hired on to our company. MY company pays out holiday pay to everyone. The way temp works is we pay the temp company (plus a premium for finding the employee) and the temp company pays the employee. In summation, we pay our temp associates double time for working holidays, but the temp agencies (3 out of the 4 we employ…
