Been working for my company for 10 years, accidently found out they are hiring new people with significantly less experience at the same rate as me. What do I do?

So I went to the printer today to get something I printed out. Mixed in my papers was a job offer to a second shift entry level position that was at the same rate as myself. I have been there 10 years, trained countless people and am second only to one other in terms of skill level. I'm beyond disappointed and not going to lie, my emotions are getting the better of me but was able to keep calm enough to try and think clearly before I raise hell tomorrow. What should I do? Do I say anything? To anyone? Or do I just leave?

Find a new job is so humiliating

That's it I'm frustrated and upset, 6 months of searching job and nothing happens, I'm almost star to selling 18+ content just because I need money. Anyone else passing through the same thing?

Help me tell my boss I’m not working the day he scheduled me for?

I was hired 3 weeks ago and when I was being interviewed I gave them the days and hours I am available they told me that was fine. Well this friday when the schedule was posted I noticed in on for saturday which is one of the days I cannot work since I have a toddler. I was upset that they did this but thought that maybe they forgot until one of the other girls said they do this all the time. I am trying to cover my bases with things to say that get the point across that I won't be working that shift. I am also a bit of a people pleaser and I'm worried about giving in.

Held up medical emergency for a drug test

I was meeting with a friend recently who told me that at his job, a man came in and was “acting weird” so they made him wait 2 hours to take a drug test. Come to find out, the poor guy was actually having a stroke. And to make matters worse, the shitty company sent out messages to other people in the company, asking them to donate hours to him, while he's still out recovering. I hope, with every fiber of my being, that he sues the shit out of that company. They don't care about us! All they care about is quotas and their antiquated ideas of control and status!

Co-worker is trying to micromanage me despite being a hypocrite

I've been working at a new office job for almost a month now, and things were going pretty smoothly. The job itself is monotonous and soul crushing, but I get a hybrid remote schedule which is nice and I only plan on staying for a year while I upskill to find another job that will lend me a viable career path. Digression aside, I was working in the office recently and I had finished my work halfway through my shift (like most days), and so I just decided to go on my phone for a bit since I had nothing else to do. Well, my co-worker who sits adjacent to me all of a sudden tells me that I should not be on my phone as it is a “distraction” and that we are very busy today. They also said that everyone has excuses to go on their phone, but…
