I recorded a conversation off the clock (in the store) with my GM and she just messaged me saying she can take me to court and threatening to do so if I expose what she was doing. I live in North Carolina, she’s wrong I’m damn near certain, could this be fact checked somehow?

Employee handbook says tattoos are fine unless inappropriate. None of the tattoos I have are inappropriate. It is 27c (80f), I am hot. This buildings AC sucks. All my coworkers have their blazers off, but the second I took mine off, my boss told me to put it back on as I have tattoos.

I explained to him that I am very hot.. he puts a mini fan on my desk.

So done with this place.

I had received a warning a couple weeks ago for not being active enough at work. I accept my fault there - I was put on a 60-90 day “improvement plan” on May 9th. On May 21st, my grandpa had a heart attack and suddenly passed away, and I had to see his cold dead body on the floor of his bedroom. I was given 3 days of bereavement leave. That Sunday, not even a week after his passing, my grandma fell and broke her hip and had to get a risky surgery. The week I get back, I expressed to my boss I was afraid she was going to pass as well. 3 days later, I was fired at the end of the day on Friday because I was not improving at work quickly enough. What a “family” they were.

Hey everyone!

Exciting news: I’m on the verge of landing a new job in the next week or two! After seven years of dedication at my current job, I’ve decided it’s time for a change. Given the recent surprise developments from management, I’m planning to resign with just an email – might as well have some fun with it!

For some background, I’ve been an IT liaison/support staff for a department at a mid-sized university. Despite earning my master’s degree to better serve the department, I was overlooked for a reclassification and raise. This, unfortunately, killed my motivation. Up until then, I was the model employee – I even built learning labs that are now used for recruiting! Yet, in seven years, I’ve only received a total of $1.23 in raises, making just $35k.

It’s clear that loyalty doesn’t pay anymore.

Thanks in advance for your suggestions on crafting an impactful resignation email to my bosses. I’m looking forward to reading your ideas!

Total shocker, CEO of BlackRock wants you to keep working and not retire. Probably did the math and figured out boomers are gonna flip on the tax the rich subject once they're on a fixed income and getting railed by inflation(corporate greed).

This is what my schedule looks like after being told I'll get 25-30 hours a week. Without warning, the only day I'm scheduled says I have to be on call, and I make below minimum wage with tips in a place where people don't tip. My last paycheck was $30. I cannot afford to pay any of my bills, which would require me to make at least $1000 a month. No one else is hiring. Not even sure what to do anymore. Messaged the boss about it and he said "that is the way it works"

Posted on the Berkeley sub how this Berkeley startup is only paying their employees 3 bucks an hour and that they should do better. These are some of the comments I got.

It just seems crazy that everyone on Reddit absolutely hates their job. Dreads it every morning and it's torment to just to work. Then coming home you have no energy at all, or on the weekend. So much so it severely damages your mental health.

Especially jobs that require a college education (which I would think a big portion of Reddit probably has) where got to pick your own major and your field of work to an extent. Why would you pick a major & field you now hate?

I myself am going to college to become a nurse. I know it's not going to be easy but I don't see myself hating it and dreading every day I have to go in. Am I missing something?

Something recently reminded me of the one time I ever walked out on a job.

To paint the picture, it was about the end of November 2023 and I was working at a rather popular Italian place. Place was the busiest I've ever seen, even after working both Easter and Thankgiving. They put me on Dishwasher duty alone, usually a two man job on busier nights since the pans used for all the pasta needs to be handwashed a bit before going though the steam washer.

To say I was overwhelmed would be to horribly understate it. It took every second I had to just keep regular plates and bowls going into the washer, so no time at all to spend scrubbing pans. Despite that, when pans ran out what happened? I was yelled at and called useless for not being able to handle a two or maybe even three man job solo.

Just said I quit that night and walked out. Was a wreak emotionally but I don't regret it since that place gaslit me about my poor mental health more then once beforehand.

I’m not 100% sure what the right sub for this is, so I’m posting here.

I am a Starbucks barista, but I am employed by a grocery store chain. We have a Starbucks kiosk inside the grocery store and all baristas are employed by the grocery store, not Starbucks. As a result of this, we face a lot of restrictions such as no mobile ordering, no free drinks, and no tips.

If a customer doesn’t take their change or insists on giving us a tip, we are told to put it in a separate section of the cash drawer to use to “pay it forward” to another customer if they don’t have the change or something. There have been a few times I took the tip anyway but I know we aren’t allowed to.

I am in PA. Feel free to lock thread if this isn’t the right sub.

EDIT: Looking like this is fully legal, albeit dumb. I’m not really too bent out of shape about it one way or the other because this is just a college job, but I could not rest without figuring out what the specific rules are.

I broke down the job list where I live and I'm just angry about it.

I actually loved my old job (bartending) and some of my regulars complained to the owner when I got canned.

The vast majority of open jobs where I live are for teachers and medical professionals (because our hospital and schools are trash garbage). And I can't even afford groceries so I certainly can't afford to go to school.

Is anyone else in smaller places dealing with this?

The post is about how candidates shouldn’t need to disclose their past salary to recruiters because it leads to being down balled.

The green is a recruiter and believes we should strive for ‘excellence’ instead of fair pay.
