"We are like family here." - this is the biggest lie in worklife. THE BIGGEST.
Never fall for the "good culture" or "team building" lines, either. Chances are if the job description even has those phrases in them, it means that everything is 90% peer driven and there is no such thing as oversight or discipline of bad employees.
Leland Turner with my job legit the guidelines are so fucking strict. You breathe the wrong way and you can get in trouble
I feel that man. That is true.
Turn right tf around and say thank you for the interview
A super dysfunctional family surrreee. 😂
When they gave me a "Not a team player" review as I covered everyone when they needed a shift covered.
Andrew H dude I fear myself like looking for a job for the first time and I’m already scare
@@jakejake8985 That sucks haha
I feel like people will do that if they just don't like you personally, no matter how much you do for them professionally.
@@redditgrabber5888 nice sympathy
Andrew H my boss saw me as a lazy person and not hard working. Honestly I'm working my ass off, dealing with school and suffering with depression. I'm honestly not sure why I even tried.
I guess it is like they say: "People don't leave jobs, they leave bosses"
Exactly this.
Same place
2 different managers
First manager. Amazing. A hardass yea. But smart. Show that your not useless and he would treat you with respect and back you up. He went to bat for me to get a raise from corporate. Was a joy to come to work. Auctally friends with him.
Second manager. Condescending asshole. Treats the lead (30+ years of experience) like hes a apprentice.
I went from proud employee to fuck you I'm here for a paycheck. Then started cutting us down because "overtime is bad"
I have a interview for somewhere and cant wait to tell him heres my resignation, suck it.
This was definitely the case for my last job. I didn't get paid much, but I actually liked the job. It was fairly simple, most of the customers were nice and I got along with most of my co-workers. Bitch was always on my ass for HER short comings.
If any of y’all eventually become a manager yourselves, please, don’t continue the cycle of shit treatment. Don’t know why but many of the Managers that are 50+, for some strange reason, act as if their seniority in the place they work for means that they are better at the job. Treating people that do amazing work like shit.
Or coworkers
@@Dashinix Such is the issue of those in power. The moment you are higher than every one else, you easily forget that at you were on the same level as they are and flaunt your "superiority" to everyone else.
“We are a family here” means “we will ruin you emotionally”
When managers constantly tout "we are a family", it usually means "we are a dysfunctional family"
Just like a common family during a Christmas reunion after a uncle brother fight

A company is like an army. Morale needs to be kept up for soldiers to keep fighting. Low morale will result in deserters and traitors.
You would thing people would no this too, it common sense.
Most bosses seem to be of the Roman school of thought in that case. Decimation = morale
Yeah, right....

That's why I think that Managers should have to take a course in leadership before they can hold the position.
lets all listen to the common sense of the guy who says he nos things and tells us what people should thing
When they give promotions based on manager favoritism instead of effort and meirit
That’s how it is with me my boss specifically gives me a shit ton of raises to keep me from leaving it’s kinda funny tbh
@@CorBor69 I wish I had a boss like yours, dude.

Your boss is not your friend. Your job doesn’t care about you. Take up your sick days/vacation days.
What if your boss is actually your friend? There are countries where it's common that higher-ups offer their family members or close friends lucrative jobs where they get paid a lot but don't have to actually do the job good. I'm not saying you aren't right, but there are a lot of cases where it doesn't apply.
@@Black-Dawg-Jesus Even when your boss is your friend, your boss is not your friend.
No, but seriously, sit the fuck down. Obviously there are exceptions to any assertion.
Unless it’s Michael scott
I had a boss who hired her friends. They weren't friends after they saw what kind of a manager she was.

Most of these sound like retail type jobs, and retail is hell.
Yeah I work in retail and if I find something else I'm definitely taking it because 11$ an hour for being a cart person is hell
@@robinrichardson5821 Retail can be fun. I've had such experiences in the past, short lived as they all were. It's the retail managers that are hell. A poor or evil manager can kill a store's team and customer oriented vibe in about a day.

That was my last job, it was a great job when I first started with plenty of people working, and the owner didn't mind overtime much so we could get almost any day off because someone was almost always willing to work it for the extra cash.
Fast forward two and a half years, half of the workers had quit and my location (out of 3 total) only had 2 full time employees and an employee from the nearest store working part time. The owner hadn't hired anyone new in 2-3 months by the time I left.
I did that, and right on Halloween. Ruined my ex boss’ Halloween.
I would've waited till i had let go everyone that they asked. And right at the start of my first solo shift, call in and quit
Absolute legend.
Annual review
Boss: Great job this year. Your marks are mostly "Exceeds expectations" and "Out of the Ballpark" so 3 or 4 on our 4 point rubric.
Me: Cool
A week later
Boss: I had to bump all your scores down to 2 "Meets Expectations" because it was too positive. HR wouldn't accept it.
bruh
Bruh
Well i would say you work for my employer but i heard it is everyhwere
Annual reviews are absolute b.s. at most places. The least they could do is admit to it before they hand you the paper or pull you into a tiny office and make it a big super serious speech or something
@@jaydavidson4592 at my job, the only people who 'exceed expectations' are the reviewers.
When a coworker who was on the same level as us started acting like he was a manager despite no real promotion or change in the structure at the office. He recorded every little mistake anyone made and used disputes against us during performance reviews to make it look like other coworkers were complaining about us when in reality they were just asking us questions about a document we wrote weeks ago they had to review.
And nobody stopped him. The management just encouraged him to go even further. For a year the place felt like a second home, not even feeling like work. He ruined that.
I see that every now and then. Employees like that are retained because they're "useful" and will do their boss's dirty work for free. They're basically enslaving themselves for a pat on the head.
So how often does that coworker have to replace slashed and/or punctured tires?
@@carlfromtheoc1788 I wouldn't know. I like many others, bailed out. Productivity and morale took a nosedive so management could wallow in the mess they made
Might your coworker be the assistant to the regional manager?
@@Lightscribe225 should have bought him kneepads before he left and a water bottle. Poor guy gets thirsty for being on his knees all day.
The secret in sale is _ABC:_ Always Be Closing. The secret in retail is _ABL:_ Always Be Looking...for another job. Loyalty is a fool's mindset. From what I hear, even being indispensable doesn't work, as they are fearful you'll want more money. Just keep looking, and jump to the next best thing that comes along. And two-weeks notices are also a fool's mindset.
Agree completely on the two-week notice. When I decided to quit, I waited until the end of the week so I'd still get paid, and then texted my boss, "I quit" as soon as I got home. Felt amazing.
There's no two week notice to employees getting fired.
Jason Dyrkacz I WANT THAT ON A FUCKING T-SHIRT!!
😆
The one and only time I ever put in a 2 week notice was when I wanted to have my pto paid in full. Other than. That, fuck em!
@HKJ completely agree. I have only left one place in my life bitter and broken and I left them on the spot. My others got a two weeks noticed because I respected my team and supervisor.
At a work celebration a female coworker accidentally bumped into me, then proceeded to grind her ass against me. In front of our bosses. I didn't complain or anything, but imagine my anger when I got reported for asking a coworker to dinner because it's "not appropriate in the workplace".

I try my best to keep my feelings out of things like this. I know examples like these can be used to convince people of certain things. My main problem with the incel "movement" especially since instead of addressing how there are actual men and women with things like mental illness that can stop them from forming solid relationships, most of the attention is directed at these terrible people.
It just makes me sad that real problems are overlooked.
@@PerovNigma no one says that #metoo is all lies... only that it is inundated with them because it does nothing to punish the liars. It's pretty sad that you are more bothered by the impact this has on feminism than the impact it has on victims.
When my mom passed away on my day off and I called HR to ask for a few extra days off and it took her 3 days to call me back so I was forced to go to work in the meantime while still grieving. That was the straw that broke the camels back for me!

beaner290 yeah Walmart made me push carts on a Saturday morning when both cart pushers called in and I got hit by a car :/
yethi ravindran It’s not always that easy my friend. If you need money unless you already have a job lined up you can’t just quit unless you want to not eat.

Getting Written up for being nice. Meaning helping other employees and customers. You know, my job.
I knew somebody who got fired for working too hard and thus "not leaving enough for the others".
allow me to explain, my job has a strict no overtime policy except for the holidays. and me being a hard worker always got asked to do overtime but was told i had to take an additional day off. no problem cuz i get a 3 day weekend. but after my 3 day weekend they called me in the office thinking i was gonna be promoted with how they said im a hard worker and i cover a lot of people if they need help. but it quickly turned south when they said "you being so helpful and productive is making you unproductive so we have to write you up for productivity."
I got the same thing. A customer who regularly buys lots of stuff (I'm not on commission) was chatty with me and I was friendly back. Boss chides me for being too friendly. I'm moving a mile a minute meanwhile. What, you want to decrease the customer's comfort level for ... principle? Make me a robot and treat him like a "thing" instead of a person so I can shave a few seconds off consecutive orders? That's a pretty stupid principle. Seconds mean nothing. Personal relationships mean everything.
I got told by my Manager at the Ottawa IL walmart. "" I don't pay you to help customers."
I got almost fired at Sears, in 2015 when I was working there, for pushing the credit card on someone. Got a bad feedback about it. Person said I was rude for offering, doing my job like you said for yours.
Only reason I wasn't fired was because of how good I was at getting credit cards. When I say I was good at credit cards, I mean I was so good everyone in the store could not perform at all and we'd still be green. I had like 150 a month. I was ridiculous at it, but almost got fired over one bad feedback.
Like cool, I guess we can ignore how that was my first back feed back out of the hundreds I would get monthly.
Write your resignation with the date and signature open on your first day of a new job.
Start applying for a new job the first evening after your first day.

Lol what. I thought was a joke but Jay Hay might actually believe you.
If you're literally doing that, it's gonna get exhausting and you're being pointlessly spiteful. Yea, remember a job is still a job, but literally planning to go in on the first day to any job looking to leave immediately, regardless of how good or bad the place is, just why? What's your end plan even?
@@ZephyrinSkies nah, it's not literally looking for a new job the day you start one. It's more of a reminder to not take it seriously from the get-go, especially if you know it's a temporary gig.
When i worked at a pizza buffet and was given a 25 cent raise on my first week because "i was fast" i liked my job and turned out to be shit after a few months when i was lead kitchen staff and while everyone was doing one thing i had to be sure everything was going fast and help everyone. During one time it got super busy (it was spring break) we had a major rush and only 3 of us were working the kitchen. There are only 3 stations and i had to basically do everything alone so i was going fast. Manager got mad at me for cutting a slice of pizza smaller than the other and i told him to just send it out and i would make another one. He decided to throw a tantrum instead and threw the hot melted cheese pizza on to my clothes. (The cheese got on my neck and burned me) i dont have any anger issues but the stress at the time from working a minimum wage job apart from school while in a rush made me go nuts and went up to the manager and held him up against the wall and punched him in the face then said i was done with this shit and took off. Turned out they called the police and i went to court for "assault and battery". But to the companys amusement it was all caught on camera and the court pulled it out and i was given a 3,000 dollar compensation and was just told i was banned from the buffet. I was 17 at the time and a senior in high school, so seeing a 47 year old throw a pizza and a pan right out of the oven to a 17 year old makes the company look pretty bad lol. This was in Texas by the way so the laws here are strict. I am 20 now working a nice front desk job at a massage place and studying to become a nurse :)
This is how I imagine myself acting +3gs
Good for you 🙂

When I worked at Chili’s and we got a pin to put on our apron for every five good comments the Manager got about our service. I had customers constantly tell me the told the Manager how great a server I was. Never got a pin. But, all the girls that drank with the Manager and “ hung out” in his office, instead of being out on the floor with customers, had an apron covered in award pins. When I asked him about what my customers were saying about me he replied,” If you’re going to be a whiny baby about it, take a damn pin!” Pissed me off
I wonder if they're paid to go out drinking with him or being in his office all the time. Shoot, if I were *his* boss I would walk in, fire him on the spot and fill his position myself until a better candidate was found. That wouldn't take long.

I’ve worked hard and have increased sales in our department. The manager told me they are going to have me trained to become the cheese specialist in the Deli department. Then proceeds straight up hires someone else to do the job.
I’ve stopped caring for the last month and put in the minimum effort since my effort isn’t rewarded. I’m putting in my resignation on Friday.
Good, fuck your higher ups. They sound like a bunch of douche bags
Im leaving my company to for manager favoritism, no raise or bonuses, constantly get bitched about our departments performance when im the only one working out of 10 people. Just over it. Im worth more than $13 an hr and the fact I just got them a two million dollar investor and i didnt get a thank you or a raise
Leave your comment as the reason.
I work at McDonald’s currently. When I started I was a happy go lucky guy who put in max effort and the managers were happy with and complimented me daily. But when I asked for a raise a year or so of working they said it was work and merit based, not from how long I was there. I’m currently looking for a new job.
Flipping burgers is a great way to hate life itself. I'm the only decated grill closer, and I hate it. The cooking alarms drive me insane, but nobody we hire to do grill stay for more than 2 weeks (wonder why?) And there 3+ months in between. I dont think he even cares to any more, given that hes had a year to do so. I just punch time and go. Last time he gave me a weeks leave and I fell for it. This time, there will be nothing discussed in his office. Two weeks and frick you. Would walk out, but my jobs records already bad... I'm working towards better in life.
I get life is hard and people are trying but if you are over 21 get out of the food industry. No matter where you go. Anything is better than that. Its also hilarious when people who cool a mcdonalds bitches about pay or their work. What did you think would happen working at mcdonalds? Certainly would not make a live-able wage
Welcome to fast food 🤷♂️
Good luck on getting out

Don't let MacDonalds be a place for growth. Minimum wage gets minimum employees.
When I was told about a promotion I'd get in a couple months, then after a year of not hearing back I hear it's being given to someone else.
likewise dude, bust myself for a year "you are doing everything we expect of an associate, keep going and promotion will come at the annual review next year" here we are 18 months later, where is it? or were you just telling me what you thought I wanted to hear? can't be putting the extra effort in continously if there's no recompense.
This was two years ago, on the back docks of a super-center Walmart (for reference, Walmart has six store sizes, with super-center being second-to-largest and being the size of a mall). I clocked in an hour early for an 8000 piece 3-truck day (average day is 2600 on one truck). We were always understaffed from the day I was hired to the day I left, but we were down to 11 people on the ENTIRE dock team, which is supposed to have 11 full-time and 7 part-time employees on each daily shift. I don’t think there was ever more than 20 people on the whole crew. Floor management takes 3 from the skeleton crew of 9 to sort shelves and leaves 6 men, expecting all three trucks done in 3 1/2 hours before lunch (trucks are supposed to be done in 90-120 minutes depending on size). Lunch comes around and we’re just getting into the second truck because the earlier back room shift NEVER cleans anything up and we lose 40 minutes cleaning for the first, and 30 wrapping and moving pallets to get set up for the next. We take lunch, even though we don’t have to for another hour, while floor management and the three they took come back and take over, with management bitching about our slowness. Mind you, the rate for unloading is 150 pieces per hour per employee, so it should be literally impossible for us to get the trucks unloaded and the freight onto pallets before the end of the shift, let alone get every single pallet pulled to the floor for the night shift to stock. We come back, they ALL GO OUT TO THE FLOOR AGAIN and we get left to continue.
Oh, did I mention this was during Christmas? Because it was. And thanks to the seasonal freight needing its own set of pallets we have no fucking room at all to get pallets wrapped and out of the way to set down new ones. Despite all of this, we manage to get all three trucks unloaded with two hours left, about 40% faster than the guidelines. Management bitches about wanting it done an hour ago and comes back to stare angrily at us, thinking we were slacking off. This was yet another bit of corporate politics involving my wonderful backroom supervisors that I won’t get into, but they were using it as an excuse to surveil him and people like me who would go to bat for him, rather than helping. Three other employees who were either slackers who liked the dock crew’s relaxed uniform policy or just slackers agree to stay over with me, since our only supervisor on the shift would have to take overtime and that’s a BIG no-no. 11PM rolls around and I’m the only fucking person in the whole crew left. They all fucked off, and management goes to bug night shift instead of helping me. I pull 65 pallets out to the floor, make a cardboard bale and a plastic trash bale, process claims and broken items, sweep the backroom, sweep out and close the trucks (which I had to wait half an hour to do since I didn’t have the keys, and floor management just ignored me until I physically walked out to the sales floor and pinned one of them back), take batteries over to auto, secure the ammunition, and backstock the leftover overstock from the previous shift that didn’t get done. I clocked out at 3:30 in the morning after a 14 hour shift. I went home, collapsed in the kitchen while making a sandwich, woke up to my roomie getting in the shower at 6, crawled with said sandwich to my bed, ate it and passed out. Then I got up 2 hours later and struggled to keep awake through my classes, put on my uniform, head to work and clock in.
The very first thing that happens, before I can even make the 50 meter walk to the docks is get run down and interrogated by the GM of the whole store as to why I have almost six extra hours. Apparently they get a fine from OSHA if an employee works longer than 12 hours, and they’re acting like I’M the one at fault, even though bailing after agreeing to work over will you you written up BY THE GM. They tell me to clock out and go home. I told her to go fuck herself in the most polite way possible and worked the whole shift, refusing again when they tried to get me to take a four hour lunch. They thought I was okay with leaving a literally half-staffed skeleton crew one man down on a 5000 piece night during the holidays. They were completely incapable of seeing anything beyond payroll sheets and thought that we could function, again, AT LITERAL HALF STAFFING AT CHRISTMAS. I didn’t give a flying fuck about my job from that point - I was only there because they were paying better than any other college student job in the area at that time.
TL:DR: *_FUCK WALMART_*
Jesus fuck I feel that. I have a pretty laid back loading job that's 4 days a week. I had been unemployed for 6 months due to some serious depression issues and not wanting to do anything at all. I was pretty grateful to get the job in the first place. It was through a temp service so there wasn't any real over time. There wasn't any holiday pay until you got hired on either. Anyway, there's anywhere from 39-44 trucks mon-wed and 23-24 on thursday. After some point of bitching about how the sorting crew did less work and stood around they give the loaders a base pay increase from 12.5 to 14. Then they tell the loaders they're not getting their 50 cent raise this year because of it. One supervisor likes to point that out and use it against anyone who acts up saying, "you took the raise you knew what was expected of you." So as a second shift loader, I have to come in 2 hours earlier than the others. Help do things that aren't my job, then do my job, and leave 2 hours later because we can't leave until the last truck is claimed. We had to complain to get them to hire more loaders so we could get done in 10 hours as opposed to 12-13 as was normally happening when I first started on third shift. They pay someone who does the worst job imaginable loading trucks the same wage as me. I've had to unload and reload his trucks 5+ times in the first few months I was there. So after getting harrassed by my supervisors, yelled at for not going fast enough, and told not to do certain things just to have supervisors just go around and do them anyway because "muh power" I just gave up. I do the base minimum of the job and going a third of my usual speeds still puts me on par with the worst team in terms of speed. Fuck the supers.
Man you are a literal hero. I don’t know many with your level of endurance, or dedication.
Woo you figured it out. Corporation known for treating its employees like trash and cogs actually treated you like trash and cogs! Want a cookie? Ffs most stories about Wal-Mart are like this
@Redz Of The Ultra-Kards Everyone who survived working at Walmart needs a hug.
Oh. I'm sorry...
Had a manager who said he would give pizza to the team that sold the most, my team did thanks to me, and he did nothing.
That sucks. I never did like those "carrot on a stick" incentives, either. It only ends up promoting favoritism and your story is a glaring example.
@Nickel Mgtow it was my first job and at the time I thought working hard was the right thing to do. Many jobs and coworkers just take advantage of that with no reward though, and when I finally learned that I just do my job now.
@Nickel Mgtow Who I am now, I would probably have said "Sorry but as an untrustworthy person, I can't trust myself to stay longer, better leave and be on the safe side."
The place I work for did something similar thing and promised us pizza if we meet a quota they gave us one month we made over that quota and next month we ask about that pizza party and said he never promised us that and acted stupid so ya we never made each month quota but got close to spite them
I would smash a pizza in his face and quit lmao
Current employers expect the most with poorly paid employees. I've been yelled at and disrespected for min. wage.... Yeah. I left.
Only good thing about that is you can find another job that pays the same or better
Good thing you left. It's not worth it to go there day in day out to be miserable
Employees who pay minimum wage should expect their workers to be late and show up drunk... you pay for a minimum person you should get a minimum person. Employers are buying brand new KIAs for the price of 40 year old gremlins.
Thats what im sayin. You get what you pay for. Something i wish more minmum wage workers would remind their bosses about
Minimum wage. Minimum effort.
"Safety is our top priority". Any company that says this is full of shit.
I've been stuck in a workplace where if the power cuts, whomever is there is likely to die. The gates and what keeps the dangerous chemicals running proper are tied to the same power. The mandoor is locked due to "security" where the only key is held by a regional boss. Who works primarily in another city. Complained that I was overreacting and being paranoid after I've submitted a request for a copy of the key(denied, naturally). A competitor down the street had this happen to them before I realized our situation. They had manual gates instead of automated, whole block was shutdown until air quality was safe for cars to pass through. Yea... Got out of there a little later than I wanted
Safety is our top priority at Freddy Fazbear's Pizza.
block? chemicals running proper? wtf how is this possible and how can they be so incompetent? i keep reading comments like these that makes me starting to appreciate the job i got like holy shit.
The company I work for says something Similar... eep.
Safety first! (equipment runs like shit and breaks down all the time)
Report it to OSHA.
I had a boss who was, for four and a half years, one of the best bosses I ever had. Then her boss retires, and she gets the boss from Hell as his replacement. Then she becomes the boss and girlfriend from Hell, as she takes out all her anger on me and her fiance' at the time. I understand she felt trapped and she was lashing out, but she wound up losing me as an employee a year and half later and her boyfriend a year after that. For that year and half, I was there for the paycheck.
Bonus: In one of her moods, my boss once told me "a trained monkey could do your job". When I finally gave her my two weeks notice, she is all in a panic, and says, "You are invaluable. I don't think I can replace you." My response (not even lying): "Maybe you should hire a monkey."

That said, once you've shown me you can handle your shit, you start being given new shit to handle. Its a two way street.
No one ever says on their deathbed; "If only I'd spent more time at work".
When my manager made me come in covered in my great grandfather’s blood the morning he died and told me to get over it and do my job.
Is that some sort of euphemism...?
Can you explain?
Why didn't you fucking sock him?
What? :( god bless you
nah i would quit fuck that
When I started, I had to work hundreds of hours of overtime. the people at the top of the totem pole would consistently pass it to me, call off on purpose to stick me with it, or just leave in the middle of the day and stick me with overtime. It was mandatory, with no way to get out of it. My family didnt see me for 6 months straight. I even stayed the night after my shifts sometimes, because going home for 5 hours of sleep was stupid. And management and my union did fuck all about it. Nobody picked up the slack, and relied on me to eat it all.(fun fact, the government used to take more money for taxes because of all my OT, so I barely seen any of it) I continued to take OT voluntarily, even after I went to a full time position, trying my hardest to earn the rest of my money to pay off my student loan debt.
Then came the incidents with complaints, where I was given days off for the dumbest shit imaginable, and my union reps did nothing to defend me. And the final straw was the accident that happened. I wasnt seriously hurt, and it wasnt my fault, but afterwards, I was ignored, and given zero details on the lawsuit going on towards the company and myself. They never cared enough to even ask me how im doing, or if I needed anything. And ive been stuck in this hellhole feeling like I was completely burned by the whole mess.
After that I realized that this company doesn't give a single fuck about its employees. We are disposable to them. I havent taken overtime in 2 years, took a shift that automatically gives me OT instead, and refuse to come in when called. I dont answer my phone anymore for anything work related unless its paperwork. I regularly drop overtime onto people on the top of the totem pole as well, and nobody else is around to take it when I call off. They constantly bitch about me every week, and I couldnt care less. I make more than enough to pay my bills, im now student loan debt free, and ive got everything I have ever wanted. Fuck em.
Lmao sounds alot like where I work but it pays good so fuck everyone else
F
Any advice for people getting a job for the first time like do I overwork to get paid good or just be normal and not over do it ?
*K*
@@jakejake8985 it just depends man, you can try and please ppl go above and beyond and more than likely not get rewarded for it. The alternative is to do minimum work, and still get paid the same. People and managers at work suck balls 95% of the time but if you ignore them and get your cash it's a win In my book.
Never be a "great" employee. Just shoot for average. Work harder near holidays or when the chips are down other than that. If you work harder and get tired, depressed or whatever...they scream you are not doing your "job" when you are actually doing well beyond the call of duty. Trust me. Dont make waves. Just sail, get paid, get laid, get out.
I am going to add, don't sacrifice your health because they promise wealth, you'll end up with neither.
I only worked harder near end of my year when we were due for a raise
@@MaXiMoS54 that's my point. Remember to enjoy your money. Find ways to save and invest. Be sure to have a plan and learn multiple skills to make money
@@kharn-the-betrayer Hey that's soo true. To tell the truth I remember I was at work and I slipped and stepped on the side of my foot and fractured it. Doctor said I would be better in a month. I said they still made me take a company paid cab to work and shred papers. The doctor said I would be out for 5 months. I lost my whole summer. I was devastated. Couldnt leave the house or do anything. Because the plant manager didnt wanna a workers comp on the books that quarter. I stayed quite about it...a year later they had a huge lay off and I was tossed along with many others. If I had spoke up then I could have had my summer and more money to enjoy it.
overachieving in these jobs is a fool's folly. You are disposable cogs to them, nothing more - nothing less. Your extra efforts won't be rewarded, and even worse other people will quickly take credit for your achievements and get rewarded over you - only you to be "downsized" cause they fail to even recognize how instrumental you are to their recent success and simply won't believe you to be nothing more than a replaceable cog ripe for "cost cutting" and efficiency improvements.
My boss told me we have to work harder as a team to show we deserve the hours we got. We worked harder. Suddenly we were getting more done in less time so they cut our hours because we "don't need them". I now work at 40% the speed I used to (minimum required by the union) as a fuck you.
yeah, EVERY job does that. Don't fall for it.
@@VhsVcr I learned to never work harder than I need to.
Moral Lesson: Pay your employees properly, and for fuck's sake don't promote the new guy over the older ones... Unless they're that good. (Which they probably aren't)
This is the problem at my old job. They do it so they can trick the new guy into staying on the job. The old guys work just as hard if not harder and better an get less hours and pay. A new meaning to "being too old to work": it is just a matter of time.
If only the world worked this way
If someone has been working for a company for many years and is still in the same position as a new-hire, it’s very likely they aren’t A1 material for upper management
I am the new guy and got promoted over the old guy.
When my manager put me on the improvement plan because I was quiet and someone had to be a scapegoat for the sake of. I have no record of escalations or unmet deadlines or bad rapport with clients. They just wanted someone to take the blow for the sake of it.
Being quiet is frowned upon at the workplace.
My current job was getting really close with that for me. They had to tack on in a write I got for something insanely idiotic that I'm too introverted with my coworkers. Like yeah, you'd be too if you saw how much fucking gossip they spread and don't get written up for it. There's a reason only one person there even knows my hobbies.
I don't like my coworkers, while I acknowledge they help my mental health by giving me typically positive social interactions, I fucking dislike most of them. They're shitty people, and the ones who aren't shitty, I'm not going out of my way to talk to.
@@kikook222 Your approach is very smart. And yet most employees are penalized for being introverted. I work as an operator in a superconductor lab and my interaction with others has nothing to do with the quality of my work. Too bad half of my co-workers don't understand.
Fought for progression, got turned down 3 times. Finally got recommended for said position and immediately threw myself into my training to show how eager I was to do more. Suddenly, incidents occurred with my initials on them (even if the CCTV showed you doing nothing wrong, it was logged as a incident). I immediately voiced concern to management, saying that I didn't want to work with this going on every month. Was informed that it would be looked into.
Government inspection came. They saw the incidents and asked them what they were going to do. I then got removed from the work setting to resit all training and validation tests (which I easily passed). I felt as if I was overlooked and ignored, and that my feelings and concerns meant nothing to the company.
The slap in the face? Did I still want to progress and train for said role?
I'm now only there for a paycheck. Currently looking for the next step. They will easily replace me. It's not difficult.
Well, there goes me getting a job.
Due to family problems I'm being forced to look for a job, but my social anxiety gets in the way.
@@francescagregori4237 Welp that's it I'm going for self employed, I've got the chance and I'm running with it your horror story has made up my mind. I'm assuming this is from retail or restuarant? Because I've seen stupid shit like that go down working in those two fields.
Shameless micromanaging, elitist egos, power trips, perfectionist b.s., inconsistent expectations, hypocrisy, secrecy, politics, favoritism, stupidity, backstabbing, lying, accusing. I haven't even got started yet😆 it motivated me to be self-employed though, which I probably wouldn't have otherwise
The best boss is often yourself.
Currently working towards being self employed. Can't deal with that shit anymore.
When my coworkers would judge and belittle me just for being young
I got that when I was young for being young, even from other young people. I got that when I was uneducated for being uneducated even from people less educated than I. I got that for being poorly paid and for being poor, even as soon as I graduated high school and even though I went right into college. And I got that after I had gotten past those things too. Then I got that for being middle-aged and now I've gotten it for being old(ish). It doesn't really matter what the reason is, because there is no valid reason. I wish it wasn't, but in American society these days at least, that's just what people do. They can't help themselves, or at least don't want to, and our society reinforces and even lionizes awful biases.
For being young or just being the new person
comfort zone just being young
Can relate. Kind of. My coworkers at my first office job judged and belittled me because I was a *man.* 100% of my coworkers were female. Also, they were all middle-aged and were married and had kids.
Same. My work is where the higher employees above me are lairy and pissed off that they are like 35 and have a shitty £27,000 job.
Most of these sound like very job I've had. Except for that one job I was fired for not speaking Spanish in Texas. Got yelled at for no reason? My only job was to open bags of tortillas and stack them. I was ahead of the guys to my left and right. I was doing exactly as they where doing. No idea what I did/didn't do?
Were you the only guy there not of Mexican descent?
I told my manager today how much I appreciate her being approachable. She treats me like I’m human and listens when I have a concern or idea. It’s incredible and I treasure it. I’ve worked some crap places. Where I am now isn’t in that category even a little.
Worked overnight stocking shifts at Kohl's. I was given "Misses" which meant Misses, Women's, Active Wear, Petites, and Sleepwear, the most areas than anyone else. Our work was measured by how many "Z-carts" we emptied, I usually got 2-3x more than everyone else. I worked hard while others bs'ed around in their areas, taking their sweet time because they only had 4-5 Z-carts. After about 9 months, I'm given a partner who doesn't bother to learn anything, can't read the floor layouts, my manager yells at us for not working fast enough, I get called a liar when I tell him there are no jeans in the warehouse (after getting on my hands and knees on a dirty floor where I have found dead mice and rats to look under shelves), and then he tells all of us we need to work harder so he can get promoted.
I gave my two weeks notice the next day.
One of my mandatory internships: nurse: "we need to talk, we searched for you yesterday at 4 and couldn't find you"
me: "i work until 3pm like it says in my contract"
nurse: "so you left early?"
me: "??????"
Had that once, I then started to explain how clocks and time work as if I were talking to a particularly dumb child. Needless to say, I did not stay.
Of course that wasn't a mandatory internship.
When I got hired at a grocery store, I gave my availability to 3 different managers (the interview guy, the manager who hired me, and the new manager of whatever). I was part time, so I never bothered requesting off, just did things on my scheduled off days (I think I did no more than 20 hours as I was coming back into work a year after having my child and I wasn't the primary source of income).
I was once scheduled on a Sunday, my regular unavailable day, and notified my hiring manager that I couldn't come in on that day. Like ever. She says something about how it's not fair to senior workers who may request those off first and something along the lines of "I wish new manager would've talked to me before hiring you". Ok. Whatever. She said she'll take care of it.
Sunday comes around, I don't go in. I get a message from new manager saying if I do not show up it'll be a 'no call no show' and I'll be written up. I call back to say I told hiring manager last week I wasnt coming in and she said she'd handle it. I've had the same availability since I started and everyone doubled checked it, including her (both hiring and new manager). She says "well I didn't hire you." And to that I say "well hiring manager thinks you did so y'all need to figure this out". I went in the next day and put in my 2 weeks, which was followed by notices from 2 other employees in my department. Gave away my last 2 weeks hours and didn't care.
Then, when I was gone at least a couple weeks out, I get a call from a morning manager asking me to come in early bc no one showed up to open the shop. 🤨😂🤦 Bih I haven't worked there in weeks!!
Bad communication amongst managers. I've been working since I was 14/15. I'm going on 30. Had that job at 28. First job I EVER quit.
at my old job, the more work and hours you did, the more management would yell and micromanage you
They don't know any better. Few people are trained to be bosses, or employees. Two sides of the same coin, some of the most essential things to know and learn in life. And it's all just random baloney and ego blow-outs.
They had more stuff to try to 'control' when you started doing more. Bad bosses. Hope you got outta there
tyler D sounds good to me, I’ll just be here doing as little work as possible while literally never being here then! 👌🏻
I was a proud employee for 4 years then new management made life hell. I went to him for advice and instead got scolded. Since then, I've given work 20% because he doesnt deserve or appreciate my hard work
6:05 , respect to the guy who quit. I would of done the exact same thing.

today (Wednesday January 12 2020) I had to forgo my regular day off to sit in a mandatory company wide meeting where the investment group that bought out the company 3 years prior revealed that we had increased net profit by 23% last year. for a total of $104 Million. . .
in that same meeting they announced:
1) they were terminating the quarterly profit bonus program for non-management employees
2) healthcare premiums were going up 39% for around 12% LESS coverage.
3) raises would be capped at 1.5% annually for all non-management positions going forward. ( raises had always been 4% minimum till that point )
that was 6 hours ago. . .
14 of the 19 people I manage have called/emailed me saying they quit.
a girl in HR I am friends with told me that around 70% of our hourly workforce has quit.
my boss called me around 30 times before I just switched off my company phone.
I have just printed and signed my resignation letter. I'm going to go in tomorrow and turn it in along with my keys and phone
Good . Any update mate?
Anytime someone at a business says “we’re like family here”, run.
When my (now ex) boss called me 3 hours before my shift saying I would have to clock in one hour earlier to print 300+ pages she needed for a meeting. I lived 30 minutes away from work, so I didn't chew my meal before going.
Worked at a movie theater. Had a lot of trouble with concession stand work (just not good with people), but managed to keep a pretty friendly air.
Eventually management got serious enough about following pre-scripted greetings to the letter (to the point of taking people into the office for talks) that I just got fed up.
Travis Himebaugh omg SAME i work at one and it is fucking hell. There are soooo many strict guidelines and it gets to the point where everyone is getting in trouble for every. little. thing.
I've had around four different work places that all pulled the "we are a family" card and the first three convinced me that was all trash, by the fourth (and current) job my direct boss and manager of my workplace genuinely treats all of us with respect and care, even stepping out of his way to defend additional time off I needed to tend to personal healtg issues. Idk if it's a trap or i am just ridiculously lucky.
Yeah, so after many similar jobs I found one that's decent. Thing is it's hard to trust them after what I experienced but I'm learning to
@That Guy James Let me tell you, I work for a family owned business, and that line is actual bullshit regardless...
“We are like family here”
This is literally always true
It’s just that some families hate each other, that’s normal if 2 people who’s families hated each other it’s called a *vendetta*
I've always regarded work as "just a paycheck." The most important advice my dad ever gave me about work is this. You'll probably come to hate your job and the people you work with regardless of what it is unless it's something you truly enjoy doing and are passionate about. A job or career is just a means to an end in terms of fiscal survival and one should just do the things they actually love doing as hobbies instead.
My job unofficially did away with merit raises, so there's no point in making extra effort. By unofficially, I mean that they all get denied when supervisors request one for outstanding employee effort. Where I used to work my ass off, I barely make an effort anymore. And then he cuts the time on the jobs, reduces quality of materials (which were already crap, we are forced to work with shitty wood and cheap or broken tools) all to save a few bucks. Employee turnover is huge. I was in charge of training a new employee for a different division and he left before the day was half over. Only reason I stay is because of my crew. I work with an ex-marine, and ex- pot dealer, an ex-druggy and a weekend mechanic, and they're all more competent and moral than the owner who calls these shots while masturbating in his office and leaving the industrial-size vaseline jar for the cleaning lady to find. Also the building manager for our division that works on go struction machinery doesn't have the first clue of what basic tools are or how to use them. Another higher up wants to do away with the tools we use the most because it's "too expensive to replace them". I'm currently looking for a different job, and I'm very tempted to go work at a gas station just to escape it.
There's something about that, you know? A job can suck, regardless of line of work, but if you have a decent set of coworkers it always _seems_ OK. There's just something about the mentality of "yeah, this job sucks, but at least we suck together" that makes shitty jobs bearable.
Also explains why people sometimes quit in groups, or because THAT person finally left.
The laziest guy at my job makes more money than anybody else because of his seniority
Don't you fucking *_HATE_* that???
Seriously, that is my lead to a T and I hate it. If it weren't for the fact I like the hours on this shift better, I'd switch back to the other one.
I deserve more because i existed longer and nothing more.
We have one that managed elsewhere but not out place, and calls off constantly, but she gets more than our manager and staff.
I say he deserves it because he is basically fooling the management and gets away with it lol. You have to have some actually functioning braincells to pull that off consistently.
I believe Stanley Hudson from The Office is meant to represent this "lazy employee who stays because their seniority protects them" trope.
When 8 people went to management about same person then store manager then corporate and still they did nothing, not even talked to the person about their attitude
I have a good one. It happened this past summer. I was working as an ESL teacher for the summer. At first everything was awesome. The Activities Leader liked me, my co-workers were nice, and I didn't mind going into work. I'm the type that get to work an hour early so make sure I have my shit together and often ask if there's anything else I could do. We also had to dress business casual. I have feet problems but suffered through boots and dress shoes to look my best. I wasn't looking to work for them after the summer because I have other things going on. This is important. Well, the Activities Leader had work piled on via the manager and she aged significantly in less than three weeks. She assured me I was coming back, we had a week break to prep for the second wave of students. She told us last day that she wasn't coming back because her mental and physical health was more important that a temp job. We understood. So no one called me and I emailed the the Activities Director to see about my hours. Nothing. I called the office, the secretary "forgot who I was". I finally got through to the Manager who assured me I would be working that Thursday. My Co-workers greeted me and thought I was coming back. I asked why, one said she asked the Manager where I was. Her response? It's obvious we don't want her here, that's why she's not here. But because they couldn't hire an employee for two weeks I was their last hope. So I tried to resume my routine, they acted annoyed that I got to work early and treated me and all teachers except one with hostility. Why? She wanted the job AFTER the summer and decided to backstab everyone and sucked dick to make herself look good (imagine Tsunoda from Aggretsuko but bitchified) I decided to make the most of it and didn't teach these new batch of students via textbook but with American films, music, and pop culture, even an ask me anything segment to debunk their views about Americans (they were French, Spanish, Russian, and Japanese teenagers) they LOVED asking me questions about American holidays, gun policies, and things like that. But the Manager had a spy who wasn't even an employee popping in to spy on me and reporting back that I was "just letting them watch movies". So of course I try to explain and the manager bitched me out in front of everyone, including passing students stating "if you can't teach, I can find someone else who can". Fine. I stopped coming to work early, just five minutes before class started, started wearing just tennis shoes, denim skirts, I didn't even bother asking for overtime because she would string me along with that, and just leaving after work was done. Even the last day, I had only two students left, and even asking the new Activities Leader about a film, he told me to ask the manager so I was like fuck it and me and my last students spent the last three hours just playing card games. My last day I was just sooooo happy to be out of there. I even had to try and fight for my last paycheck from the manager who tried to withhold it. So yeah
Fuck you Sumara, Fuck you Angelique you backstabbing cunt, definitely Fuck you Julia you fuckin' spy.
Our company which was small merged with a bigger company. Many top bosses are gone. No more Christmas bonuses or yearly hire date bonus. All corporate now. I make 50,000 a year vs 45,000 which is nice. But miss the being like family feel.
For me it was seeing evaluation forms pretty much be the same for everyone: 1 exceeds expectations, 1 needs improvements, rest meets expectations. Everyone gets the same shitty raise, including the worst employees. Their explanation was basically that they had come to expect me to work harder so I was just meeting those expectations. Okay, well allow me to lower those expectations for you...
I've been through so many jobs. Finally found one I genuinely enjoy. The benefits, PTO, and bonuses are great. But what really attracts me is a caring boss who's understanding of any situation.
For me, it's always one or more of:
1. Excellent work that's never or super rarely appreciated.
2. A back-breaking Job that you definitely feel and probably are underpaid for.
3. Being one of the only ones who cares about what they're doing when your coworkers and even managers could give two fucks and rather slack off giving you more work.
4. Knowing that what you do every day doesn't really matter to anyone cause the work is mundane and never changing and there are a ton of other employees and you're easily replaceable.
First day- GM throws a temper tantrum. Freaked me out because I'd never seen a 40 year old man throw up his hands and scream like that before.

When my manager told me I wasn't "efficient" when I'm literally finishing all my work and doing some automation on top of my responsibilities that will benefit the efficiency of the whole department. We're an accounting team to begin with so almost no one knows how to do programming except me.
I'm in a similar position.
2:50 Im usually the guy who speaks up in such scenarios. Yes, coworkers will be a little grateful and also you gain huge respect. This wont last long however and many people wouldnt return the favor. And management will hate you.
Worked at an office supply store. About 6 months after I start they push a new service (basically a scam to sell spyware to seniors). They gave each employee a stack of several hundred coupons for a "free assessment" and told us to give them all away by the end of the week.
We tried to be circumspect, handing them out with customer receipts, slipping them in their shopping bags, taping them to boxes for printers and laptops. Management stomped on every single one, told us to give each one out by hand, and warned us that anyone who had leftovers at the end of each week would get written up.
Our only option was to literally stuff these useless scam vouchers into customers hands at every opportunity, but it still wasn't enough. Eventually, we learned to stash the extras and throw them away after work. I was long past caring at that point.
A couple years later, they lost a class-action suit and discontinued the "service."
My old job in a small English school in Japan included mandatory flyering, which I seemed to get the lion's share of. Especially when they opened the first branch in another city, right at the start of winter. I spent many a day in ten layers landing out flyers to disinterested people. Luckily many of those layers had pockets, so I stashed plenty to throw away later. However many flyers I gave away my target for the next day became the same plus 50%, there's only so many people walking on that street each day (most of them the same office workers going to and from breaks, or tourists who aren't interested). Later somebody complained that having me hand out flyers was "scary" and naturally the company took the complainant's side. Looking back, I wish I'd just wandered off around tourist attractions, dumping 5-10 flyers in every bin I came across.

I'm sorry but if a customer just decides to leave a bad review for no reason it is entirely out of my control.
It's always "a new boss" that makes them go from YAY to OK
I’ll be honest, I’ve been working at the same place for 3 years. My department was a 3 person team and now it’s only me. Also moral is super low, just a congratulations would be nice but you won’t even get that. Most issues would be resolved if they would just give an employee recognition for their work done.
I knew it was time to leave my last company when 2 things happened. First, I was criticized for not attending a meeting I hadn't been invited to attend. Second, I was criticized for doing exactly what I was supposed to. No, there's no "not" missing in that sentence. Fortunately my manager essentially dismissed those 2 things, but I didn't see any point in hanging around after that.
I can sympathize with the first one. We lost 5 employees- decent, and mostly full timers within the first few days of new manager appearing.
The first time I was ever promoted from a regular worker to a management position, I was given a raise... of $0.10 an hour. And they made a big deal about giving me that ten cents an hour raise, as if I would look at it like I was the Beev and go "gee, Wally... four whole dollars a week! What am I gonna do with all this extra scratch?!"
They were shocked when I reacted by literally walking across the street and getting a new job that paid twice as much, based almost solely on how much the DM sympathized with me having to look for a new job because I had just found out the dill-holes at corporate thought my management skills were only worth four dollars a week.
Corporations don’t give a 💩 about their employees. For example, BEST BUY.
“Oh you sold $50k, with 6 credit cards and services, okay.”
“Yep, can I go to the big corporate event?”
“Nope, you didn’t earn it, you needed 7 cards.”

I didn't give a shit any more and just collecting my pay cheque so I didn't complain. So I kept getting the dummy truck. Nothing like being asked to come in for overtime and dummy trucking it all day. I would drive a few laps empty just to kill boredom, take 20 smoke breaks a day, and 3 1 hour long lunches. Go over on my data playing games on my phone. Get paid overtime for this utter douche baggery. And this is oil sands, so I am making like $600 a day on overtime while skip the dishes drivers are running ragged for $100 a day. Yep, the world isn't fair I know. Would you NOT do that for $600 a day? I didn't think so. I don't know how they make any money up here.
rustyscrapper I’d just bring a book and have an amazing day. Take up crochet. Or origami. Something. That sounds like an awesome job.
@@jendubay3782 $600 a day to do nothing at all. Sounds great until you finish reading your 500th book and realize your fat from lack of exercise, and you've made an indent in the driver seat with your butt. haha
Aaron Miller plenty of people do that without the $600.

Sometimes I question how the bosses get their job. Most of the time it’s not the company, it’s the managers or bosses.
I work as a security guard for a security company meaning I might not guard the same business/event on my shift. I was hired by answering an online ad, "URGENTLY HIRING" it said. It also said that there would be a signing bonus which should have meant that in some way I would receive extra payment. Usually a signing bonus is paid with an extra check with the first paycheck, added pay on each check for a set amount of time or by receiving an extra check after a certain amount of time (usually something like 3/6 months or a year.) Once I was officially hired on and was talking with one of the higher ups, he told me how much I'd be paid and I asked about the signing bonus. No one knew what I was talking about or who had even written the ad. What that told me was that they were probably not good people to work for and willing to lie to get more staff.
I never work more than I am scheduled to and this place seems to have trouble keeping employees, for some reason. Every week or so I hear from another guard, but never one of the supervisors or anything, that a bunch of people just quit and I think I might actually be scheduled for enough hours to get overtime. Nope, as a matter of fact, this flu going around has gotten several guards sick on top of them quitting and even just not coming to work anymore. The same day I was told that not only did we have at least 6 or 7 guys sick but also a few quit was the same day I saw that I wasn't getting as many hours the next week on my schedule.
I have no idea how this company compensates clients when no one can go guard their property, if they even do, or how they even manage to keep/get new clients.
One of our posts is a large, 40' deep sinkhole that swallowed up part of the entrance to a major business for our city. It's this big gas station/Denny's that has overnight parking and fuel stations for big trucks with showers for the drivers. It's actually pretty nice for a truck stop, even has a game room. The sinkhole is a big safety hazard with fences to keep people out and barricades to stop people from drive near or using a large section of the parking lot so when there isn't a guard there some idiot could get to close to look down and have the ground collapse under them where the rain has eroded the ground under the pavement. No idea what kind of lawsuit could happen if there isn't a guard on post when that happens. Doesn't help that nothing is being done to fix the gigantic hole, just measures to deter people from getting close. No idea how much it's costing the city to rent all the fencing and barricades since they are all rented from a private company or how much they pay to keep a guard there 24/7. The city is even having the state come down on them for going way over budget every year since like 2010 with a recent local new article being published stating that several places have had sections of road wash away due to outdated metal piping running under them. In an interview, a city official said something to the effect of, "People see and hear about all the sinkholes in California and think it's also happening here now but the city actually hasn't had a single sinkhole, just the washed out places." I read that as I look over at the 40' and growing hole that's has been here for at least a couple of months.
When I called 6 hours before my shift (when they only need 2 hour notice) saying my grandfather was hospitalized and was going to die that night, and my manager wasn’t going to let me call out. Undercut her and asked the other closer and explained the situation and he gladly took over for the night. Apparently she’s done this with 3 other people about funerals.
A lot of managers are MBA- Manager By Accident. A lot of them doesn't have training either in management or leadership.
For me, I just want a happy workplace. It's bad enough most position has no potential for promotion but at least make it enjoyable by putting positive culture and respect.

Probably nothing compared to most people's stories, but here's mine:
Worked for a small but growing grocery company for 4 years. Got the highest raises possible and won awards at their yearly awards banquets. So no problem there. For most of 3 years I felt reasonably appreciated. After 2 years I even moved to the newest, biggest store and helped it from opening day - learning and filling in many new roles, and getting marginal promotion basically to 2nd-in-charge in my department. I was giving the company more and more every month I worked - especially once I moved to the new store which opened my eyes to a lot of different ways of doing business. Eventually, their business plan changed and the store got a new manager. Company introduced a computer program to assist in assigning hours to the department managers for their weekly scheduling, resulting in massive hours reductions. Now, I worked in one of the most labor-intensive departments in the store, so this was a huge thing and it didn't take a genius to realize that sales would suffer as a result. They did, leading to more hours being cut. The department manager who I was assisting eventually tried to resort to taking it into her own hands (with my agreement, though obviously not necessary as I was just assisting) to add hours to her weekly schedules. I was told she was reprimanded for this and was told that it was not her job to determine how to schedule for her department, or something like that. When I heard that, I lost every ounce of my desire to get promoted in that company. Eventually later in the year the department manager had enough and left the company and I assumed temporary co-managerial duties while the store manager searched for the replacement. Like I said I had already lost every ounce of my desire, but this was an opportunity at least to add something to the resume if I could become that replacement. So I interviewed, but was passed over and was asked to help train the new department manager. I gave it a try for a month or two, but my heart definitely wasn't in it and I handed in my 2 week notice with a broken heart because I had put everything into that job for 3+ years and got nothing out of it.

There were many that lead to my decline in valuing myself in my career in my field. I am a phlebotomist. I draw blood and process the samples. One day I was talking to a nurse who did not have the required paper work for a blood bank specimen (which is a separate department from me and they are extremely strick about having forms and paper work filled out to a T) and the nurse insisted that I didn't need it, and I knew that the specimen would be discarded without having the paper work. I insisted that the paperwork was necessary and eventually another nurse came by and sarcastically said "oh no, he needs it" and it was such a punch to the gut. My intentions were good, keep in mind this was a newborns blood sample, and it would have to be redrawn had I not protested. I take pride in my work and always try to do things correctly and care about my patients. This nurse made me feel useless and like a nuisance. It was the straw the broke my back and I've hated my job ever since. I still try to do a good job and have a strong work ethic but all passion and pride I had for my job is gone. I used to think the dumb, toxic, incompetent people in high school would go away one I started working, then I thought maybe they would go away once I got a better job, then maybe I thought that they might go away once I got a college educated position in a professional environment. They never go away. I'm tired of fighting. I just want to sleep.
This video pretty much sums up why I NEVER give a company my all until they prove they value me and my time. Been burned too many times and have ruined my body for companies like these. No more.
The boss didn't want retaliation from the secretary's husband... so he fired the husband as well? Wow.
In other words, your loyalty doesn't matter. I had learned this the same way these people have.
Loyalty is a two way street. Thats why im not loyal to any company.

In my job we are constantly watched on mutiple cameras . They don’t want you to go to bathroom or anything on the time clock . You’re pretty much just expected to use your own bathroom at home and not theirs unless you want to “clock out “ for it . I work in a plasma center . They time us in all of our work environments 5 minutes to screen people , 7 minutes to do sticks and 4 minutes to do disconnects . We aren’t allowed to talk to each other , talk to donors , talk to coworkers .. despite standing for 9-10 hours you can’t lean againist the wall or your feet of anywhere . You can’t leave the floor for water breaks, bathroom or anything unless you get someone to cover your section which nobody will do .
Prisoners are treated better than phlebotomists in plasma centers .
I had gained a reputation for being available to fill shifts, often on short notice (a mistake).
Then came multiple separate occasions when I needed to go home sick (not just because it was food service and you were supposed to go home if you were exploding from both ends) and I called the whole contact list and no one was available. And of course I was a shift lead and keyholder so that just narrowed the number of people who could fill in for me. Boss offered no support but expressed that closing early was not an option and that I just had to figure it out myself.
Also any annual raise that I got was made meaningless when minimum wage would go up resulting in my wage for working there for 3 years being the same as someone who worked there 3 weeks... so pretty much no incentive to stay long.
kinda shocking how badly you were compensated if the basic ass minimum wage adjustments nullify your seniority and experience pay. You need to GTFO there right now then, and get rehired elsewhere with that 3+ years of experience instead. Instant payraise.
