I work in an office where the highest authority person has a very close relationship with this woman. I’ve considered to report this to HR but I don’t know if I should. I don’t have concrete evidence but it’s very obvious. They go into his office and have these meetings behind closed doors. People talk and it’s a very well known rumor: everyone knows of their relationship. And pretty much everybody dislikes bc she has received benefits from having this relationship with him. I don’t know how much HR knows about them. I don’t know of this is against policy, can it be acceptable by any standard? Note: my office doesn’t have a local HR department
The position requires me to use my insurance on the company van is this even legal ?
So I am a bus driver in NJ. It’s a passenger van not a big yellow bus but nonetheless I still needed an endorsed CDL license to drive. Along with my CDL, I needed a criminal background check because I would be dealing with children. My employers were kind of shady and money hungry, so they allowed me to drive without obtaining neither the background nor my CDL. I happily did my job every day for 3 whole school years (summer included) without an issue until I get into a minor fender bender in which I was not at fault. No one was injured but I followed what I thought would be the proper protocol since we had none to begin with. I knew something fishy was up when they told me to tell the students not to say anything about the incident since no one was hurt. I did…
Throwaway just in case. Last year I took a remote (IT) job from a company that’s located 5 hours away from me. I would never have taken this job if they told me then what they tell me now. A few months ago they told me they wanted me in the office for one day in the week. Already this was against what we discussed, but one day didn’t hurt me so I didn’t make a fuss. I was pretty annoyed however that the office would be mostly empty and the work I did in the office could be done at home. Now they suddenly decided it would be two days in the office. This time I decided to say something about it though. I said this wasn’t what we discussed and I politely refused. They reacted poorly on many professional levels to this, with raised voices and slammed fists…
I’m under a microscope.
BACKGROUND: I've been struggling with depression since I was a kid, mostly due to bullying then. It left me with scars and personality that never quite healed. I've never felt like I had a “normal” life. I can't really form lasting relationships, whether it's friendships or romantic ones. I can talk alright, one on one but more than one person around me and it start immediately draining me and I feel overwhelmed. These days I prefer to be alone. I know it's not healthy but I have tried to connect with people, I've tried to go outside, join support groups, etc. Nothing has worked. I do not make connections. Possibly because part of me doesn't want to and because I have obvious self-esteem issues still despite trying to work them out for years. It's 9th year now that I've been on meds with occasional therapy. I found a low-end…
Excuse my english as it is my first language. My workplace never offers to buy breakfast, but as a reward for our good work from doing stock-check (which is long, boring and constant counting) the managers offered to buy everyone breakfast, in which was approximately 15 people. I did intend on ordering my own breakfast before being offered but honestly I have never felt so small in a room full of people eating their breakfast and me, stood there like a lost puppy looking at a empty tray of what was a stack of breakfast boxes. The most disrespectful thing was when I asked the Manager, “who ordered the breakfast” and they blatantly ignored me. I have no idea why they’ve treated me like this, and I do intend on never helping out on stock-check again and will enjoy un-paid time off next time. Fu*k em’ What would you do…
Anyone else work crazy work schedules
I work at McDonalds at the moment and I work Monday: Off Tuesday: 1pm-9:30pm Wednesday: 11pm-7:00am Thursday: Off Friday: 3-11:30pm Saturday: 1-9:30pm Sunday: 11pm-7am Been doing this for 6 months and it’s starting to drive me insane. I asked to be moved to strictly days and they said I’d have to find somebody myself that would take my overnight shifts. My life literally revolves around my constantly sleep schedule. Looking for another job but the fact they pay people 9.50 to do this is insane. I want to get into working at a gym as a personal trainer once I get out of this, so I’m not gonna settle here. But this shit is so ass lol
Went for an interview at lidl
Towards the end of the interview, I was given a clipboard and asked to walk around the store for 5 minutes and write down anything wrong with the store. Went for a customer assistant role and was happy to do it. Came back and mentioned a couple things like how bottles were stacked on top of each other haphazardly instead of taking the excess back to the stockroom and how some sections weren't stocked at all. Also the aisles were quite messy in general and sweeping was urgently needed. The 2 hiring staff were shocked by my audacity to do what they asked and started arguing with me and trying to justify why the shop was in such a state and I just laughed and left. Clearly would have been a nightmare to work for!
Our power lies in gig work
I know most of us (myself included for a long time) sit on here complaining about our jobs, seeing the absolutely terrible treatment people go through on a daily basis, all while making shit money. Then immediately after browsing or posting here we go back to our day jobs and hate our life. Let’s be real, for the majority of us, not working at all just isn’t possible or sustainable. BUT… I have found SO much freedom in gig/temporary work. It has put the power back in my hands. It makes the employer fight for my business instead of the other way around. They constantly have to prove why I should work for them, or I’ll move right along to the next thing. I have actually found a somewhat regular position where I’m paid well for a job I enjoy and am treated very respectfully…all because I kept bouncing around…
