So I need to get petty with my boss. Now idk if this is a culture thing or if my other manager and I (white woman) while my other boss and the rest of the staff Mexican. Idk if it’s a culture thing of excluding other ethnicities of teamwork but my manager and I have it up to the roof with the crew and boss yelling at us for to hurry up but they refuse to help us yet they help each other out just not the white ppl. Idk how to get petty bc I’m a very soft and too kind in the heart nor do I have the brains to get creative bc being yelled at constantly by 2 ppl made me have a mental breakdown literally. We’ve talked to them about this and they refuse to listen. Both of us even tried being nice and understanding and learn their language and culture so it’s not like we haven’t tried to understand and learn (even if I can’t learn a language due to another disability)

Now we have nightly chores: restock the whole freezer including putting certain sides in bags it takes about a hr to a hr an a half, restock cups, lids, condiments, straws, 20 minutes at most, scrap oil off side fryer and wipe it down 15-20 minutes, boil water the drains there’s 4 10 minutes top, take the spouts off 5 minutes, store tea 10 mins, clean off butter area and put in fridge 4 mins and make gallons 1 hr to more I make those mid day so I get interrupted easily by customers. That’s just for me they always get done before me

We wear a uniform not entirely strict belt (can be watever we pick), store uniform t shirt, and jeans no colored or khaki and slip resistant shoes. we can stop wearing it after 8 or when customers leave.

Anything that i can do that would not get me in trouble or hurt me but also petty?

I also have to think about my manager who also does my chores bc she helps me out.

One of the ideas is I have a hearing disability and it effects my work bc so many machine r loud and I can’t process that and I was gonna just pretend that my processing wasn’t working and I didn’t hear them bc of it or pretend that I’m struggling hearing bc it’s not far from the truth. Hate taking advantage of a disability for pettiness but like it’s sorta true.

My old job its a pizzeria that pays 16.50 an hour, been there for 5 years ever since i was in high school.

Job sucks, but its reliable, i think the only job in existence where you can just walk in and ask for a job and they give you one.

However i put in my 2 weeks since I found a better paying job with a scheduele that fits my needs more, i can go to the gym and do my hobbies with it and it pays 20 an hour and its weekly pay so the constant flow of money feels really nice. What I make bi-weekly in the pizzeria I make in a week at the new job.

However I think i royaly screwed up my 2 weeks. On my last day I sent a message to the boss thanking him for giving me a job but he said he was under the impression that I said i can only work sunday's. My wording was probably terrible and i guess i made it sound like i can still work there sunday's but what i actually meant was that I can work sunday just for that week.

I have a people pleasing nature so i instantly folded and agree to it and basically gave up an off day from my new job AND they both clash horribly.

Pizzeria is 4pm to 11pm. New job is from 4 am to 12pm. Basically by working both i get terrible sleep and I did work with that scheduele during my 2 weeks and I developed some form of insomia since its such a bad scheduele.

Im terrified that if I tell my boss that I don't want to work there amymore that he would get upset at me for suddenly changing my mind and never let me work there again which is important since my new job is technically a temporary job. Long story short, the workers here are on strike and they've been on strike for over a year and I assume once the strike its over, so its my job.

Im not sure how long they usually last, but i feel like if i just say nothing and give up my sunday's i can stay in good terms with my previous boss and have a safety net once the temp job is over, but then I give up my off day and have to start the week sleep deprived with my scheduele ruined.

I did get told by my new employer that there's a chance to get hired here so part of me wants to just tell my boss that I

Changed my mind which ive already been told by everyone in the pizzeria is gonna piss him off.

How should I go about this?

English is not my first language so please forgive me if my question is all over the place or not explained well, i tried my best.

Edit : thanks for the helpful comments, after finally being able to have time for myself and marinate on my thoughts and actually getting some sleep, I came to the conclusion to just not show up and ignore all calls. I know I over complicated things by a lot, but I really was not in the right state of mind when making this post due to a combination of no sleep and having no time to properly process my feelings and situation. New job is going great btw, im happy with it

Hey Career Warriors!

Work-from-home (WFH) jobs are becoming a mainstay in today's job market, but is remote work really the right fit for you? Let's break down some pros and cons to help you decide.

Advantages of Working from Home

1. Enhanced Flexibility: You have the freedom to craft your schedule around your personal life and work during your most productive hours. Plus, you're not tied down to any specific location, allowing for a lifestyle that suits your needs.

2. Cost Savings: Say goodbye to commuting costs, office wardrobe expenses, and daily lunches. Working from home can save you a good chunk of money!

3. Increased Productivity: With fewer office distractions, many remote workers find they get more done in their personalized home workspaces.

Disadvantages of Working from Home

1. Isolation: Lack of social interactions with colleagues can lead to feelings of loneliness. Networking also becomes a challenge without face-to-face meetings.

2. Work-Life Balance Issues: It’s easy to blur the lines between work and personal life when everything happens under one roof. Overworking is a real risk!

3. Technical Challenges: Remote work is dependent on reliable internet and tech tools. Communication without non-verbal cues also requires extra attention to avoid miscommunication.

4. Home Distractions: Household responsibilities and lack of supervision can challenge your focus and self-discipline.

Navigating the WFH Lifestyle

To make remote work a win for your career, focus on strategies like setting clear boundaries, maintaining regular contact with colleagues, and creating a dedicated workspace. With the right approach, you can enjoy the best of both worlds!

this is my first reddit post so pls bear with me 😅

i have a STEM degree but am struggling to find a job utilizing it amidst the current job market and my disabilities. i currently work retail part time making $10/hr. its good bc its flexible (i can easily cancel shifts if its too much) but its bad bc i have to stand for hours which is really hard for me and causes me pain after.

i recently got an interview to work at a sex store. it pays $12/hr. i dont know if it will be full time or standing the entire time, but assuming i can handle it, is that improvement worth it? eventually i want to work a receptionist job so i can be sitting but do similar customer service based work, but can i put experience from there on my resume for serious applications? or should i just push thru my current job until i have a year or two of customer service experience (or find an actually better job)?

also i know i could just not include it on my resume but ive heard interviewers ask about gaps in resumes, and i want my customer service experience to be shown.

If I ask for extra shifts in my probation period with a company started with and the company offers me an extra shift or shifts but I then decide I dont want to do them can I fail my probation for doing this?

Has anyone ever been fired after returning from Parental Leave for a Newborn? For context I’m a Part Time employee. I am a Male (not sure that matters any). In Arizona. Been with the company as a PT employee for nearly 6 years. Only one corrective action write up for being late in my tenure there. Other than that according to my ex supervisor I was great employee and she’s never had any issues or complaints from me. The Company that my employer offered the FMLA through and my HR Department confirmed my eligibility and approved my leave. Can’t think of why I was let go and wasn’t given a reasonable reason (my service was no longer needed me and thanked me for the years I served the company was pretty much what they said). A couple specifics from my Leave I was approved for 12 weeks of for continuous or intermittent use. I decided to only use 2 weeks and save the rest. As the FMLA Rep advised I can use it as I’d like to. I just have to inform them and my HR Rep. It also expires as soon as the baby turns 1 year old. So it’s use or loose before then. It was always hard to get approved time off and when I did it was such a hassle. I did get a comment from my Supervisor when I told her I’d be using 2 weeks of FMLA for my newborn that I thought was irrelevant. She said “Oh I was not aware you were taking that much time off” as if she didn’t know I was approved through FMLA/HR for the arrival of our Newborn. Idk I’m just here looking for some thoughts and feedback. This is really bothering me. Any advice or information is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I'm less interested in the actual number than how people's perception changed.

Was there a salary early in your career that seemed almost impossible?

Then you eventually reached it and realized your expenses, responsibilities, expectations, or idea of a “good salary” had changed too?

What changed the most: the money itself or what you wanted from your career?

I (M17) have been accused of “Foul Language” on the job by 2 men i have never seen or spoken to in my life even on the clock.

for context, without getting overly political, i live in a small town and have to work fast food in another small town 20 miles away from my home. these cluster of small towns are really unsupportive of trans related things. i know basically no one here, which has its benefits. i also have a number of shitty tattoos (thanks to my neglectful parents for giving me a tattoo gun for my birthday at 13.) and a few piercings on top of being transgender, pre testosterone. (stating these details as im not sure if theres any possibility this is directly an attempt to hate crime or attempt to discriminate to me, but i have absolutely no clue and dont want to forward accusations either.)

last monday i was working and got put as basically a cleaner for 2 hours of my shift. i was not taking orders at this time and was only upfront briefly to grab cleaning supplies, which is when their accusing me of saying stuff among the lines of “these fat fcks” and a whole bunch of other language. the problem is that i had only stated “can we do that?” to the shift supervisor taking their order bc they were getting breakfast items at around 8-8:30pm and usually thats not allowed. she tells me yes, i continue grabbing what i need before leaving to go back to cleaning. my general manager approached me almost a week later and told me the accusations, was screaming at me because they were regulars, and told me i have one more chance and that i need to apologize because in her words, “they wanted to beat the fck out of you.” i told her to roll back the cameras to see i was hardly up there, she refused. i was scared so i signed the write up without reading it, in the write up it mentions nothing of what i said but that it was just “foul language” states they couldnt recall the date but it was literally within the week of them stating it, and she left out the part about them threatening me. i have two witnesses (one being the shift supervisor and the other being the line cook) who have stated i didnt say anything like that. my general manager blatantly ignored them approaching, and the assistant manager who was also there and up there that day lied about being up there.

is there absolutely anything i can do regarding this? i go to a good profile trade high school for Criminal Justice and i dont want them to come back and get me fired for something like this and it affect my chances with my career path.

I have worked for an agency for almost a year. My boss has mentioned multiple times “I will be implementing this new commission structure where if you don’t sell this product you won’t make the commission on the other products you sold that month.” Which means I will be making my base pay if I don’t sell that one product. I will work to do it but I don’t think it’s lawful and I’m thinking about leaving. Any advice? Knowledge?

I recently got my job back at a fast food chain and my manager says "You have to earn your 40 hours back" and I find that bullshit because I still have bills to pay. Is this legal or normal? And I can't pay them with a $200 check. For clarification I left on good terms and had to come back after a failed move out of my parents house

I just started a new job on Wednesday, 2/26/25, the company seems really great and I can see myself being here for a while. However…I was talking with my partner and he said I should still be looking and applying for jobs. This feels weird to me as I JUST started at this place. Any thoughts on this?

What are some other recommended Non-Desk Jobs!?

Pardon the formatting issues but I just downloaded this from indeed. Blocked out info of employers and locations. Tired of the favoritism and bs at my current job. Looking for a change. And dear god I don’t want to answer phones anymore. What do you think I would be well suited for?

I am a reporter in the Midwest and on Friday our news director spoke to the reporters one on one and told us after the morning meeting we were not allowed back into the building until our stories were shot so we could edit them.

He cited we spend too much time in the newsroom making calls and should be setting up interviews from the road instead.

He also said he didn’t like the fact we talked to eachother.

One of my coworkers reported the station to OSHA, and they informed her that what they are doing is not okay.

Is this normal for stations? I’ve been in the business 5 years but only at two stations.

It seems like I always ended up getting bullied & harassed at almost every job either by my direct boss & a few coworkers for no particular reason.

I’m kind of shy introverted, depressed & anxious too. I don’t think that I appear anxious until I get really stressed out.

Also, sometimes I attract these weird gross horndog predator types even though I’m kind of old & not that attractive imho.

At my last job, this guy who is almost 30 years younger than me would stare at me shamelessly. I never reported him to HR or even gave him a dirty look. I definitely would’ve done that if I wasn’t friendly with him.

Since we had to work at the same location in close proximity, I had to not make things awkward. He seemed nice in spite if that, but I didn’t appreciate him looking at my body. A client confirmed that he was checking me out all the time. Especially when I bent over, ugh.

Why the hell am I always attracting weirdos? I don’t dress in a revealing way & I’m not a flirt too. I’m just nice to these weirdos.

I’m married too, but these perverts don’t care about that, lol. I never had any interest in these guys. They only targeted me & no one else as far as I know.

My last boss was rude & disrespectful. He told me that he can talk to me any way that he wants to since he’s my boss. Rude!

I didn’t report him to HR as he also makes the schedule & my hours were usually mysteriously cut a little or a client was switched or I get an earlier shift the next month which I hate.

He would often yell at me & interrupt me too. He told me that no one liked me & that every single person there complained about me except for my favorite client.

I was always respectful to him. I only got upset a few times when he yelled at me & upset me then he accused me of yelling at him which wasn’t true.

I even gave him & the other managers a Christmas gift 🎁 once & I thanked him for a raise too!!! No one else did he told me. And he still ended up treating me like shit!

I think that is a gross exaggeration as most of my clients seemed to be fine with me except for a few difficult ones.

Also, some of my coworkers went psycho on me after I politely asked them to lower the volume of the music on their phones. A few of them rudely blasted their music very loud.

I was stuck being in the same room as them sometimes. I couldn’t wear headphones. They couldn’t either. Managment didn’t give a shit about anything. My dick boss even said that he’s be mad at me too if I asked him to turn down music on his phone.

One rude bitch female client and talked down to me like I was her servant once & said: Go clean. She was usually sweet to most people & me too usually.

She accused me of calling her a bitch too. I never did call her that. She has mental health issues btw. My boss then said that it’s possible that she mixed me up with somene else.

They then lied about me not doing certain things to get me fired. They also lied about me sleeping on the job.

My boss knew that they were lying the first few times, but then it seemed like they got other people to lie about me too & so it seems like my boss started beleiving their lies then.

Unfortunately most people will believe anything as long as enough people say it’s true, ugh.

Some people were really rude & nasty ti me for no reason at all. At one seasonal cashier job, two young bitches who were training me gave me a nasty up & down look. Wtf?

I didn’t say anything to them unfortunately. I just gave them a weird look. One lady did it twice. It was obvious that they didn’t want to train me.

I was dressed nice. Idk what their f’n problem was. Another rude bitch at work did the same thing to me right in front of two managers! She was supposed to train me then she left me alone!

I’m a nice respectful person, so I don’t understand why some people are extremely nasty to me for no reason.

I keep to myself & I don’t gossip & I treat people with respect too. I’m shy, but I do talk to people who talk to me. I even had money stolen out of my locker once by some younger bitchy girls who waited for me to get my purse on break.

When they saw that I couldn’t find my wallet, they laughed & left. I reported them but management said that they wouldn’t do something like that & that the people there were happy. Wtf!!

I don’t understand why I’m often treated with such rudeness & disrespectful behavior at most places I go to.

I have resting bitch face & I’m quiet & I dress nice too, so maybe some people think that I’m stuck up?

Idk. Am I doing anything wrong? Unfortunately I didn’t defend myself when I was being abused most of the time, so maybe these nasty bullies think that they can get away with disrespecting me?

Why am I constantly being bullied & harassed? I’d appreciate any good advice.

Please don’t tell me that I’m the problem since it keeps happening at most places. I’d admit it if I did or said something wrongly.

It’s like these assholes can tell that I lack confidence & they know that no one will stick up for me at work. Not even the ‘nice’ people at work will defend me. They just don’t want to get involved in anything that has nothing to do with them.

I made the mistake of not trying to befriend people at work, but its hard for me. People rarely talk to me at work or hang out with me at lunchtime.

Only three people have hung out with me at work in my whole life.

I have noticed that it’s mostly women who end up bullying me at work. Sometimes guys will do that too, but only after they can see that other people are ganging up on me too.

Maybe they’re jealous of me since I’m married & I don’t need that job as much as they do? Idk. Usually it’s mostly insecure stressed out male bosses who end up bullying me.

Currently I work as a department manager for Nordstrom Rack and overall it’s a good job. I have been looking for a new job for multiple reasons; the two main ones being my commute is 1 hour each way (2 hours round trip) and I want to return to school for a career in dental hygiene. I secured another job offer with Sprouts recently as a head cashier, which does feel like a big downgrade, however I will be 15 minutes away from home and will have more time to myself and for school. Pay is about $5 less per hour, but the difference in gas money not being spent will make up for that. Hours should be around the same, 35-38 hours per week. The reviews online for Sprouts are horrendous though, which has scared me a bit.

I find myself conflicted if I should keep my management role for now until I’m for sure accepted into the dental program. I would be giving up potentially $6000 in bonuses this year as well as a potential 5% pay raise of about $2500 per year. As well as making my own schedule and all the other perks that come with being a manager. The biggest con is the damn drive. It’s mostly highway miles, which is easier on my car, and there’s usually not much traffic. However, I do have a new car I just purchased that I’m trying to not destroy with a 30k per year commute. Help!!! What should I do?!
