My manager told me that getting a $1/hr raise is actually like getting $2/hr raise because for every dollar my salary increases, the business has to pay another dollar towards salary costs/business taxes?

I get what they are trying to say, but it still sounds stupid to me. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this before.

Big boss wants us to work from 4:30 AM to 6 PM for 4 days.

I’m fucking livid. i got this job at a kitchen a month ago. 6 to 4, 10 hours for minimum wage and unstable hours. sometimes we leave at 4:30 or even 5 PM. it’s shitty and exploitative, but it’s something to do, and I learn a lot (I’m studying to be a chef). I have no written contract a verbal agreement with my boss about the hours and pay, and I’m “on trial” for the next 2 months, after that I’ll be elligible for a “formal” contract if I pass the trial. but then this week comes along and they’re telling all of us that we need to work from 4:30 AM to 6 PM (at the least) for friday, saturday, monday and tuesday. no compensation in the form of payment or days off. now I’m no labor lawyer but this is some grade-A bullshit. I hate it because the…

How to deal with the old grumpy co worker.

I work as entry level IT we work in shifts most of us are mid 20`s but there's one dude that around 50 now most of the time he`s cool sometimes say stupid and annoying stuff which is I guess part of work. Now there's like on average 3-4 hours to study “do nothing” so sometimes I like to overstay and study just to not wait for traffic, of course I'm asking the manager for permission to stay. But today this dude came a little grumpy and he was like after he heard me asking the manager to stay which meant It turned into a 12 hour shift for me, he basically just goes like “your`e fucking it for everyone else who wants to overstay” now yes I get it doing it everyday not gonna look good or but I don't think he needs to say stuff like that, should…

Vent on current job that happened earlier

I have been working at this job a few months now with pay is okay (could be better) and work environment is okay (stressful at times) as well. But I digress sure some stuff I do not know. But I do not know why some higher ups decide to take a human error and expand it by 110%. Mind you I apparently need to check a date to confirm if my next steps are valid. At the time my next steps were valid because I was not notified of the client's information to be checked on. I took a assumption and went through with it. Now earlier today, a higher up voiced concerns that it looks bad from a client's standpoint. Yea sure it can, but some clients sometimes do not care. Maybe they are grateful that I gave a shit and was prepared to take the necessary measures. (As…
