Antiwork

I went into a new industry 2 months ago and found out I was pregnant a week before I started. We were short staffed already so I got thrown in the deep end and made to “make do” of a shitty situation. I was forced to lift heavy things, job was very high stress. Environment was incredibly toxic with all staff members turning on each other behind their backs. I ended up miscarrying a couple weeks ago, and it last 3 weeks. Extremely traumatic and I ended up having to work through it, because no staff and even manager wasn’t turning up for work. They Hired new girl while boss was away and expected me to train her when it was not a job even I knew remotely how to do yet, when I raised my concerns I was told to just deal with it, this was last week. Unpaid…

I've worked the same exact security post for 2+ years and I've only ever called out twice in that period. Yesterday morning I had a flat tire so I was a bit late coming in, this morning there was a wreck and traffic on the interstate which meant I was a bit late coming in. So I get a very (in my opinion) disrespectful text message explaining why I “need to plan for these things and act accordingly because this can't keep happening. We don't care about the reason” My brother in Christ exactly how do I plan for a flat tire or someone else wrecking on the interstate? Please write me up because I'm going to draw a phallic object on the write-up papers and hand them back to you

Long story I’ll try to make it short as possible. Back in January I got a terrible raise ($1,500) I just signed the papers, and quietly went to my desk and started dropping resumes. Within 2 weeks I was approaching an official offer from some place. After talking to a good friend of mine of 30+ years he said “Go talk to your boss and tell them what up… you seem to have a good relationship”. So I did that, told them why I was leaving and how the raise was a borderline insult (many completed projects with almost no down time etc over the last year). After that chat they went to HR and both of them came down and called me into the office. I was given a 17k raise to stay ($1,000 less per year where I was going). I accepted it, because commute is only 15…

If you’re thinking about making a complaint with the DOL please read and learn from my experience with it. Almost a year ago I made a claim for unpaid wages at a place I had just quit. I was hired for back of house but after a few weeks they started making me do front of house too. The entire time they paid me at a tip credit wage instead of the minimum wage even though I was only serving during weekend brunch. They also shorted my last paycheck when I quit. So I filed a wage claim to bring it up to minimum wage, a total of $1,300 they owed me. The investigator assigned to my case only contacted me once to ask questions and again when I asked for an update so I didn’t really know what was going on with it. Yesterday I got an email that…

In what I can only describe as my exit interview HR promised to pay out what I was owed from the week's prior paycheck which was missing, and to not fight my unemployment claim. I didn't get it in writing because it was a conversation over the phone and so I sort of expected what came today. They didn't pay out the extra they owed from the prior check in my final check, I'm confident this means they will also be fighting my unemployment claim. What can I do? I was fired without prior incidents in my boss's fit of rage, when I talked to HR they tried saying I left without permission (I was told to leave and not come back) when I left and that my boss had not fired me he was just upset and didn't mean it. I think they're going to continue to say I…
