False write up

So I had an issue the other day at work and had to speak to my manager and shift lead about it. Received an email write up to respond to and it is full of inaccuracies and down right lies. I am so pissed off and haven’t responded yet but it’s just such bullshit that a client can cuss you out and yell at you and then accuse you of doing that very thing and you get in trouble for it.

I get flustered every time I get a message from work outside my work hours or even when a deadline is set for work. How do y’all deal with this?

Thanks to this flustered feeling, the whole idea of quitting comes to my head and it’s really annoying. I’m going to have to do this for the next 30 years

How does one get into a job at a Mom and Pop shop?

I wanna work at a smaller company where it's just me and some old lady dottering around the shop all day, you know?

If y'all know any of that kind of store hiring, or know how to find them to apply, I would really, really appreciate it.

I’ve been at my current job for about 5 months (mental health worker at a group home association) and since I’ve been here I have been gossiped about, had coworkers talk poorly about me to clients, been bullied by management, expected to do everyone’s jobs plus mine and then get scrutinized for not getting everything done. I’m always flexible when asked to stay late, switch shifts, etc.. but I never get the same respect back. My direct manager treats me like absolute shit every day and micro manages me. The last few days I’ve been at my wits end as I’m expected to work alone with 4 clients who have aggressive tendencies. I also have to transport them to various places. I raised my concerns about this to my supervisor and she completely brushed it off and just expected me to make it work. I really need this job but…

Another post reminded me of this sweet little screengrab I got of a message from the owner of my previous company, that happened during the Texas freeze.

Yet another story about child labor being wrapped up as if it's some kind of feel good story from NPR.
