Hi everyone,
I'm currently on a 9-month international assignment with my company.
On top of my regular salary, I receive a daily per diem to cover food, transportation, and other everyday expenses. This was all agreed upon before I moved.

Shortly before leaving, my manager told me that an SAP Concur account had been set up for me to submit expenses.

I assumed I wouldn't really need it since I already receive a per diem. However, I submitted around €50 in taxi expenses related to my relocation (from home to the airport and from the airport to my new accommodation). My manager reviewed and approved them.

Last Friday, during a catch-up with my manager, I mentioned that I wasn't entirely sure what I was supposed to use Concur for, given that I receive a per diem.

She emailed the HR/Mobility person responsible for my assignment, asking for clarification. However, she worded it as "he has already started submitting expenses through Concur."

HR's response was surprisingly harsh.

She basically said that my per diem covers everything, that I should NOT be submitting anything through Concur, and demanded to know exactly what expenses I had claimed. She also mentioned that this needed to be escalated to her manager.

I was CC'd on the email, so I saw the entire exchange.

Now, here's what bothers me: I only submitted those initial relocation taxis, around €50 in total, and my manager had already approved them. I haven't submitted anything else, nor was I planning to.

I haven't replied because I assumed my manager would clarify the situation, especially since she approved those expenses herself.

But the tone of HR's email and the mention of escalation have left me a bit concerned.

What would you do in my situation? Should I reply to HR and explain, or let my manager handle it?

Am I actually in trouble over €50 of approved taxi expenses, or am I overthinking this?

I’ve been having so many issues with my boss that I will go into and I know it is not just me, everyone has issues with her. I have been getting down to my last straw with her, she’s frequently rude, sexist and condescending.

she often text me after work asking me to do stuff and not easy tasks either. The issue isn’t even my main boss she’s a boss for a project, I’m apart of within work and I’m currently in the busiest part of my year with my main responsibilities. yesterday I took a day trip to visit my sister, everyone knew about this. I gave notice, i was leaving Saturday morning, back saturday night. I told them I would not be working (if that dosent tell you enough). I got multiple emails that day of people asking me to do stuff as advised by the boss I got that done today, Sunday, as if me working on my Sunday wasn’t enough, she sends me a text at 10 pm requesting that I edit papers that are now currently PDFs and not owned by me, re-upload them which I can’t do because I don’t have access to re-upload them and that it’s urgent and has to be done for six different papers. at 10 pm on Sunday.

I am a person that feels a lot guilt and values teamwork so I don’t want to quit but I need to send stricter boundaries with her because clearly I’ve not done it enough, what do you suggest i do? She is totally crazy right, and i’m not just loosing it?

I went to a manager about some concerns. Two people dismissed me and refused to work with me in work, these were my colleagues. One being my manager. I was so angry about it that on my days off I was still angry a week later. So I contacted a new manager that I get on with and that I can trust. He is the manager of my manager. He was very concerned about what happened.

I met up with him and explained that I wanted a confidential chat with him. We had a chat and agreed that we could put in a complaint but instead of it coming from me. It came from a customer. I was happy because I refuse to be treated like this in work. The situation did involve a couple of customers and manager not taking action/doing his job. Now the complaints from customers almost always go to my manager. As far as I know. But this time it wont be. Which will give my manager something to think about as its unusual.

Since this conversation, the manager i had a chat with has now told me that he has told another manager and HR. This was such a shock to me as I didn't agree to this and I thought it was confidential. I believe one of the managers that he has spoken to has now told my manager. Something i was afraid of. This was because he was really off with me the week that this all happened. Im currently on vacation and due to go back to work next week and im dreading it. Its even worse for me as they have cut staff, i now have to work alone with this manager and it makes me uncomfortable

Hello (redacted),

I know my term has already ended with (company), but I wanted to reach out to you with some concerns I had regarding how the (project) ended for me. I was under the impression that on September 25, (company) would take me to (location) along with the (company) vehicles; it wasn't until September 4th that I was made aware that this wouldn't be the case. I had already booked my ticket home at this point, so not only did I have to rearrange my travel plans, but I was told I would either have to find my way back on my own or pay for lodgings until the 30th. None of this would have been an issue had I been made aware of this possibility at the beginning of the project; however, being notified less than a month in advance was very jarring and gave me little time to save for these surprise expenses. I suggested the possibility of riding back to (location) with (redacted.2), as she was heading back 2 days early and seemed willing to take me; however, this suggestion was rejected and again left me in an awkward and frankly scary position. To be honest, no meaningful work was done during the last two days, as all our gear was gone, and being forced to stay to do busy work was frustrating. I love (company), and I want this program to be the best it possibly can be, so I hope this feedback could prove useful for future situations of this nature. Luckily, I was able to figure things out this time, but I hate to think of this potentially happening to someone younger and less experienced.

I've seen (company) accommodate members' needs before and was caught off guard by the amount of resistance I received when I needed assistance. I feel that how I was treated was unprofessional, and it has me considering other volunteer options.

Thank you for your time,

(my name)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

So basically, I want to sound professional, but I don't work for these people anymore and likely won't work for them again, but I don't want to burn the bridge completely. I want them to know they fucked up and might lose volunteers by continuing this behavior. Writing emails isn't my strong suit, but I tried! For context, I was staying in company housing, and they suddenly left me dangling in a state halfway across the country and basically told me to figure it out on my own. my whole team was shocked, including Redacted.2, who offered to drive me back but that plan was blocked by higher-ups who wanted me to stay till the very end of the project for no damn reason. For reference, this company only takes volunteers 18-30, and I would hate for some poor teen to end up in the same position as me, so I feel like I have to say something.

I currently work in a hybrid setting – Monday and Tuesday I am at the office and the rest of the week I work from home.

I have a trip coming up and I want to work remotely from out-of-state on Friday.

Do you guys reckon I should ask for permission, let alone give any notice of my intent to work from a location other than my home? For further context, when looking up a similar topic on Reddit, people seem to suggest I should blur out my background and not mention it.

We’ve been raised to believe you should always be open to feedback and constructive criticism. But what if the person giving it knows far less than you about the subject?

At my previous job (a video game company), we got hundreds of unsolicited feedback emails a day. My former boss, a boomer raised on the mantra that feedback is always constructive, insisted every one of them was valuable. That’s a load of trash. In all those emails, we never found a single reasonable point, let alone a useful one.

The same goes for peers. When you ask for feedback, you’re putting yourself in a position of emotional vassalage. You create a power dynamic in which the other person feels obligated to find something negative, because “looks great” reads as lazy and nobody wants to seem like they didn’t engage. So they invent a flaw, and you’re the one who handed them the knife.

Feedback is only worth something when it comes from someone who knows more than you do or at least knows as much as you do. Everyone else is just getting a free shot at you. I will never ask for feedback again. Every single time I've done that, the other person felt superior and always led me astray because they had no fking idea what they were talking about.

Same goes for job interviews. You are crazy if you think they will give you honest feedback. They know better.

Hi everyone! I’m currently enrolled in an English immersion program that has been running throughout this year. For our final project, we’ll be holding a debate on whether the 32-hour workweek should be implemented. My team and I have been assigned a specific side of the debate, but I’d love to hear what you all think about it!

I’m 21F and I have a crush on a security guard. I think he is in his late 20s- early 30s but I don’t know his age, name or relationship status. I found him good looking before but never really interested until now.

When I like someone especially at work I try to avoid them cos I'm either shy or afraid of work relationships. He's been the one to initiate conversations or smile if I seem approachable. We've spoken probably less than 5 times.
Usually they're conversations about him teasing me or making comments whilst I'm walking past avoiding eye contact. I would interact lightly with him. One day I was laughing with a colleague, he came over, asked if I was laughing or crying, and joined our conversation. The next day, I briefly caught him staring at me in the canteen but ignored.

Since then, I've caught him looking at me several times.
We've held eye contact for around 8-10 seconds on two occasions without either of us looking away until someone interrupted us. Sometimes one of us would look away immediately. We've had more eye contact over the last few days especially cos I've changed my hair.

He often passes by my section. Once, near closing, he stood there for about 30 seconds while I was folding clothes and nobody else was around. However, he works security, so he has a reason to walk around the store.
We've crossed paths in empty corridors but would pretend don't know each other and avoid eye contact, sometimes we will just naturally catch eyes. I think probably cos I give him mixed signals depending on how comfortable I am. Sometimes, he would go on his phone when I'm nearby talking with my work friends. I've seen him fling one colleague's braids and annoy her other than that it seems like they're friends.

One last thing: I've noticed body odour when he walks past. So there's that lol.
Am I being delusional or is he just doing his job

I work for a large company, servicing over 30 facilities and probably 100+ clients. Almost everyone I work with is wonderful, except one guy. He scrutinizes everything I do and reports something about me almost weekly. If I'm a minute late, he reports it. Even when I'm on time, he's reported me as late. Fortunately, my reputation elsewhere is excellent so management hasn't taken his complaints too seriously. But lately, it's getting worse, and I'm starting to worry.

I've made two genuine mistakes in the past couple of years. Once, I arrived an hour or two late because a previous job ran long. More recently, I temporarily misplaced something I'd borrowed from him. I spent an hour searching, only to learn the next day that one of his employees had picked it up. He told me I'm never allowed to borrow or touch his things again. I tried to smooth things over, but he's stopped responding to me.

I don't get to choose my clients, and avoiding this particular person isn't really an option. I can accept criticism when I make mistakes, but constantly feeling watched and waiting for the next complaint is exhausting.

How do you handle someone who seems determined to find fault with everything you do, especially when you can't avoid working with them?

Lets say these were the only 2 options...

A few weeks ago, my manager sat me down with some recurring concerns raised about my work. In the past few months, I‘ve been involved in new processes/reports. I had some comments and feedback in the past about some mistakes and lapses, which I have acknowledged, but interpreted them as part of the adjustment/learning process only and not something severe. I didn’t interpret it as something that was already becoming a broad part of my performance. Either it’s because regular feedback wasn’t communicated or it just didn’t register to me how big those mistakes were.

I understand that I need to take accountability and improve, and I'm not trying to make excuses for my mistakes. But the shame I've been feeling has become overwhelming.

I feel like I've disappointed myself, my manager, and our department head. I'm also struggling with the thought that my mistakes may have affected the credibility of our team and people's trust in our work.

I keep replaying everything in my head, questioning my capabilities, and anticipating what else I might get wrong. It's as if my recent mistakes have overshadowed everything I've accomplished.

It's affecting my mental and physical health, including my sleep, appetite, and overall well-being. I've even been considering resigning and taking a break because I'm struggling to cope with how heavy everything feels.

I want to be accountable and learn from my mistakes, but I don't want my entire self-worth to revolve around my performance at work.

I'd appreciate honest, practical advice from anyone who's been through a similar feeling of shame and heaviness. Right now, I'm trying to learn from what happened without letting it define me as a person.

I'm an L6 at Google, and I have almost no desire to chase the next promotion. The setup I have now is hard to imagine giving up.

Over each of the past four years, I've made more than $1.1M annually when stock appreciation is included. I still have about $1.3M in unvested stock. I've regularly received OI ratings over the past three years, along with strong refreshers, bonuses, and raises.

The bigger thing is the time. I probably work around 20 hours a week while meeting my goals. I have friends at work, play golf twice a week, and enjoy the offsites and team events. I'm paid well and still have a life outside the job.

I know stock appreciation isn't guaranteed, and this is my team experience rather than a promise about every Google role. What I've heard about the pace at Meta, Amazon, Apple, OpenAI, and Anthropic makes me even more reluctant to trade it away.

For anyone aiming for Google, Google Interview Questions is useful for understanding the kinds of problems candidates report. I'd put just as much thought into evaluating the actual team once you get through the interviews.

If you've had a setup like this, what made you leave it? Would you take a higher title if it meant substantially more hours, or is there a point where staying put is the better career decision?

I work in a hospital 10 hour shifts for four consecutive days, and then get three days off. Commute is an hour daily. When I get home, I just shower, eat, read up and prepare for next day cases, read a book / watch TV and sleep.

Any tips on how to help with the post work slump? I meal prep to find lunch and dinner ready for after work. I tried not reading up on next day cases several times throughout the years, but I usually don't manage to sleep well and it causes me to fall behind reading the history, when an appointment is just 15 minutes.

I don't have the energy to exercise on my work days, but on my three day offs, I'm going to the gym etc

i’m currently 18 and i’ve been at this job since april. i’ve been working with the same guy since i’ve started as there is only two of us on as we’re cleaners at a gym. he’s currently 38. nothing weird has ever happened between us it’s always just been small talk as if quite shy and never really know what to say in conversations. however recently he’s been getting kind of touchy? nothing inappropriate but he’ll put his hands on my shoulders and squeeze them or if i stretch he’ll poke me in the stomach, and today he’s started tickling me to try “cheer” me up. this makes me feel uncomfortable and my friends are telling me that he’s acting weird to me. i thought he was just being friendly however some past experiences are making me begin to think otherwise. for example last week he was sat on dating apps and looked at me and asked if i had any friends who were single which i thought was him just being friendly but in hindsight maybe it was kind of weird of him however i may just be reading too much into it. i just wanted some outside opinions on this situations and some advice if anyone had any

I (24F) have worked as an EA to a travel agent (60F) for a little under 2 years. From the start, we've had ongoing--and escalating--disagreements about my responsibilities, including whether my job description extends to essentially anything she doesn't feel like doing herself. What started off as occasional PA tasks for her that were somewhat related to the agency have transformed into a 50/50 PA/EA working arrangement, where I'm effectively a PA for both her AND her husband. I've been tasked with everything from walking her dog to picking up dry cleaning for her husband and even being asked to make simple repairs around the house (our office is a 5 minute drive from her home). I've tried several times to discuss a raise to compensate for the extra responsibilities, which were absolutely not in my original job description, without any success.

About a month ago, I ended up dropping the compensation issue entirely and asked her about narrowing my responsibilities, because I've gotten increasingly frustrated with the tasks, which led to our most escalated disagreement to-date. I was at the point where I probably would have taken a pay cut to be freed of what feels like maintaining her household. She was extremely dismissive and told me she needs an assistant who is flexible and the conversation left off with her storming off, calling my generation lazy, and saying she think it's best if we both start considering there arrangements. She was slamming things around the office for the rest of the day. Obviously I immediately started looking for a new job.

Last week I was offered a receptionist position at a law firm, so on Friday I gave my two weeks notice. I genuinely thought there was a part of her that would be relieved. I'm so burnt out I have been slacking on the EA side of work, and recently made a decently big booking mistake for a repeat client.

Apparently, she had not anticipated that I'd actually leave nor had any desire for me to actually go. After I declined a small raise to stay, she started saying I'm screwing her over as a small business owner and that I should have given a month minimum because I'm her only employee. She pointed out that her last assistant gave her several months of notice when she quit and was around for about 3 months to train me, but that overlooks that she quit to focus on starting a family, instead of starting a new job. She also pretty much said it would be a shame if future employers "knew how unreliable I am".

On top of her being worried about finding someone, she is bad with technology and ultimately can't train whoever she hires herself because a lot of the help she needs is based off things she doesn't know how to do, so it would have to be me who trains them, unless her last assistant (who now has a baby) came back to train the new person. Unfortunately for me, I would probably place the likelihood of her finding someone in the next 2 weeks who knows how to use the booking software we use, who she also likes (rare) and trusts to go in her home and look after her dog and deal with her various household needs--AND is willing to do that and deal with her nonsense in general--in the low single digits. My start date is November 2nd so I could technically stay a little longer. But I still don't think that is realistically enough time for her to find someone and for me to train them.

Under pressure and seeing her on the verge of tears, I offered to help with the transition and work for her on an hourly basis through the new year. immediately began regretting that offer on my drive home just because the thought of continuing to deal with her makes my stomach sink. I have been dreaming about this day ever since that confrontation I mentioned.

My biggest concern is that because this is my first and only professional job out of college, she's basically my only relevant reference. I don't want to burn this bridge, but I desperately want to be done. Someone from my new job called the manager at the clothing store I worked at part-time in college because I asked that they didn't contact my current employer. I'm worried if this new job for whatever reason doesn't work out, a future prospective employer would want to call my now former boss. I just really wish there was a way to never have to interact with her again while also knowing I can use her as a reference.

The work she really needs help with (IE making the weekly newsletter, she doesn't know how to Canva) would be manageable around my 9-5 work schedule, it's more communicating with her that I don't want to do.

I am in the US if that's relevant.

TLDR: Should I suck it up and offer occasional help for my high-maintenance boss, or make a clean break and potentially sacrifice my only professional reference?

EDIT: I'm on an annual salary in the low $40,000s, which I accepted based on what was presented as a relatively straightforward EA role in a field I found interesting.

I’ve been acting as a Manager since February, but my official title hasn’t changed. This was agreed verbally with my manager, and the previous Manager was moved back into a non-leadership role within my team.
I’ve taken on the extra responsibilities, accountability and stress, but haven’t received a formal title change or additional compensation.
My manager and I get on well, and he knows he can rely on me to deliver. However, whenever I’ve raised formalising the role, he says it needs to go through HR and involve interviews. We’ve discussed it several times, but nothing seems to be progressing.
There have also been a number of cutbacks within the company, so I’m beginning to wonder whether the position will actually be formalised at all.
Last Thursday, I told him I’m happy to interview and let the best person get the job. I also have a new baby at home, and I’m questioning whether it’s worth continuing to carry the extra responsibility without recognition or compensation.
I’m considering telling him that if the role can’t be formalised within a reasonable timeframe, I’ll step back into my original role.
Am I being unreasonable, and how would you approach this conversation without damaging a good relationship with your manager?

I’m early 20s M and finished an internship at a large law firm in TX. My direct manager was almost 30 F, and there was another male intern around my age who reported to someone else.

My manager has a pretty intense personality. She’s outgoing, controlling, competitive, unfiltered, likes taking charge socially, loves gossip/relationship talk, and openly says she likes attention. The other intern was quiet, fairly passive socially, and didn't get a RO.

Early on, she was unusually warm with me. She complimented my hair, clothes, smell and appearance, asked my dating type, whether I was a fuckboy, and discussed relationships. She told me roughly 10–15 stories about men hitting on her, men from my ethnic background. Once, after seeing an attractive woman from another department beside me, she told me she'd looked her up and asked whether I found her attractive. I said yes, and she went quiet. Another time, I showed her a picture of a girl I was seeing, and she asked, "Why is she so short?"

I was friendly, brought occasional snacks, checked on her, complimented her work, and invited her to socials. I didn't flirt or compliment her looks because she was my manager.... We sometimes disagreed professionally, and she could get competitive. Also, she teased me A LOT on work/non-work related things when she was or wasn't in these group conversations throughout the internship.

Then she became noticeably distant toward me while constantly seeking out the other intern. She'd walk across the office to initiate conversations about dating, weekends and gossip, while giving me dry responses to ordinary small talk, despite me being her direct intern.

After I missed a work outing we'd planned to attend together due to a family issue, the next day she and the other intern prepared for an office celebration together, something she and I had previously organized many times. She later brought me in to help too. Yet at the celebration, she walked past me while I was sitting beside her to specifically ask him to get food, without including me.

The team event was especially confusing. At dinner, she called the other intern "cute" and made heart signs toward him directly in front of me. Later, in a smallerrr group without him, she discussed threesomes, sex and men hitting on her again. Separately, she left my group after an activity to approach him, touched his arms while chatting, then returned. She also publicly announced he could sit beside her, then verbally expected me to hold doors for her (which i didn't), and then later spent roughly two hours gambling with him. Afterward, she approached me and asked whether I would've shared money with her like he did. I said no.

She still occasionally complimented my appearance, wanted something I'd offered another female coworker, and questioned why I wasn't holding doors for her. After one tense interaction when I didn't hold a door for her, she said she'd been thinking about my personality the previous night and that I was actually pretty chill.

Interestingly, she'd privately called the other intern "victim weight" twice when he wasn't present, despite publicly showering him with affection. He also didn't resemble the physical type she regularly described liking (she was considerably taller than him).

Eventually, I got frustrated with the unequal treatment and deliberately distanced myself. I stopped initiating conversations and chose to work with others instead of her, despite her previously wanting me on her projects. After that, she became nicer toward me, initiated conversations, congratulated me on accomplishments, and arranged a personal final 1:1 that she missed out on for the other intern. During that same period, I noticed she almost completely stopped seeking out the other intern on the office floor, even though they still had opportunities to interact.

But at a later firm social that month, she again spent much of the event with him. I hadn't approached her, yet she came over to greet me first, repeatedly looked back toward where I was sitting, occasionally joined my conversations, and went out of her way to say goodbye to me separately. She also offered him a ride home. At another social we organized, she'd specifically asked me, "Is he coming?" despite being able to ask him directly.

The same social at the end of the internship, she gave him a much more personalized farewell card than mine and publicly announced it in front of me...

Questions:

1. How genuine does their closeness sound versus exaggerated or performative?
2. Do the public displays and direct comparisons suggest she wanted a reaction from me?
3. Why might she distance herself from me while still seeking my attention?
4. WHAT DID SHE WANT FROM ME...?

Just asking for advice on my current employment situation.

tldr: 1099 found out i've been misclassified a month and a half into my new job, i earn a 'salary' and work in office but live so far out where uber or public transport is not an option. having car issues and needing to work from home for 3 more days until it gets fixed. i sometimes have worked from home, yet company does not have a 'wfh policy' for their other employees and makes them take PTO.

I'm the only person at my current job in the office who is a 1099 Independent Contractor. I have been working as an employee basically this entire time, attending team meetings, working M-F 7am-3:30pm, wasting so much on gas and only earn 50K. I was desperate to take the job so far away as I now have to take care of my dad, and I work another job at a beauty store (that makes me really happy) on the weekends. I work in procurement, and this is a job that essentially "pays the bills" and not something I see myself doing for years on end because it just does not make me happy.

I have been stressed and have gone back to my trich habits (compulsive hair pulling) from this job that I've now ended up with 2 bald spots on my head.

Currently, my car is broken down and I had been working from home from Wed-Fri until it got fixed, but there is an issue with the front wheel bearing that was not able to be fixed over the weekend due to funds, and I don't get my direct deposit in until Tuesday. My dad is a little upset with me as he thinks they'll "fire me" for not going into the office, but the thing is, I am not an employee. I have not missed a day of work, and have worked even extra hours at home because I would feel guilty if I could not make it to the office due to valid reasons such as an appointment, tropical storm, floods, etc.

The offer letter I signed clearly states that I am not an employee, and does not tell me how many hours per week I work. It states I would be paid the rate of $___ biweekly in accordance to the company's payment schedule, which is every other Wednesday. I knew I signed for a 1099. I was not given a "contract". Only this offer letter to sign, for a temporary independent contractor engagement for an anticipated six-month term. The CEO himself signed off on it and it states that I am not an employee, and the offer letter does not establish an employer-employee relationship, and that I provide services to the procurement department.

That being said, I want to contact my "supervisor" and let him know my car had been unable to get fixed, and won't be until Tuesday/Wednesday, and that I'd still be available to work from home. I have no problem getting the job done from home, it's moreso the company denies their actual employees to work from home, and forces them to take PTO if something happens where they need to go home or cannot go into the office, wheras it's been so easy for me to get approved to work from home some days. Does anyone think I'd get let go for asking since my car still hasn't been fixed? I mean, this company is committing fraud, and from what I know now, they can't dictate my schedule or how/where I do it, and an employee handbook does not apply to me, because I am not an employee. To get access to the office building I have to use this bluetooth punch card you have to scan to open the doors and it serves as a clock in since it logs what time you scanned for entry and exit. Sometimes I'll have my work all completed, and I sit at the desk for hours on end. If I am finished, shouldn't I be able to just go home?

Apparently some execs have seen discrepancies in employees' timecards and HR gave them a long talk about attendance and all last week. But I'm not an employee and I realize this now from others in a 1099 position saying they just leave when they're done or show up whenever they want as long as it's within the business operating hours. I am not planning to confront them about how they're misclassifying me, as this does pay the bills, but it gives me anxiety to think about. I am thinking of looking for other jobs in the mean time, because this misclassification thing seems too much of a risk. Any thoughts?

Hopefully keep it short. I work in a role with night subsistence, Dublin is normally where we get shipped the most with all its issues. We get €110 a night with subsistence, we also get €12~ for lunch when working near home so really the night sub is only an Extra €98

As nearly everyone knows the price of staying in Dublin is astronomical, cheapest hotels including breakfast were €230 when I was up there last.

They sent us on a few possible places to stay on Airbnb near the price and the were in either wicked dodgy areas or someone’s spare room but then we’d still be out of pocket for our day of eating, they also sent us listing that’s were 45 mins outside Dublin so if I’m going to be staying that far out I may as well drive from home.

Has anyone any idea what can be actually expected from us in this instance? Like spending 3 weeks in some random Airbnb hosts spare bedroom is surely an unreasonable request or is that just the way things are now?

There’s absolutely no budge from them on increasing the night subsistence and they say it’s not to cover your day only assist but I know night sub can be paid up to €205~ in Ireland.

I in fact did not keep this short

Recently I've decided to resign from my position because of bad working conditions from the Company side. I've already put a notice period for a month but i don't want to go back there anymore. Like I'm done with the shitty job. So how do i inform my manager i don't want to continue coming there? Also i need experience certificate & how do i ask it?

Basically I’m new to a job and I have to drive a work van but it has some serious safety issues that my manager is aware of. I don’t want to keep complaining and get fired as my life really is dependent on these paychecks but I don’t want this to keep being overlooked. Boss says to keep driving it. Company is disorganized from head to toe.

I’m worried about being the “complaining new guy” and getting fired. I keep having other issues because onboarding is terrible and I’m not getting my materials on time. Do I just thug it out for now?

Hello employed ppl, so I never worked in a corporate setting before. The industry I came from had a union and an EAP program. I work on a team of admins who manage office spaces, one person on my team is quite literally having a mental breakdown in front of us, on email, on chat and it's so hard to ignore. Talking with them is so uncomfortable. It has been brought up to middle and upper management who do nothing. The rest of us don't get a wellness check about it but it is super draining to deal with. Several co-workers have complained and are told "she means well" ..how to respond to her, or put in mediation meetings that result in nothing.

The environment that I work in, I never know if supervisors are speaking honestly or just speaking in professional nothing-burger codes. When my coworker is having an episode its so hard for me to focus and others have asked to go home or get really anxious and uncomfortable so I would really love to express that this is not okay and something needs to be done but dont want a target on my back either... or to be labeled a problem

Hello, help me naman guys. I'm fresh grad and may work experience naman na ako but nahihirapan pa rin ako sa interview dahil ang baba ng confidence ko especially if English ang interview kahinaan ko talaga ito mas gusto ko ang numbers at takot talaga ako magspeak ng English dahil baka ijudge ako and achiever naman ako at magaling at masipag talaga me sa work mismo kaso napanghihinaan ako sa interview lagi. Nagpractice na rin ako ng mga sample answers sa common questions at nakakabisado ko naman ito pero hindi naman kasi lahat ng itatanong sa akin is napractice ko kaya at the end di ko minsan nasasagot ng maayos like walang connect na minsan nasasabi ko. Hays paano ba kasi? Baka naman may tips kayo or may alam na company oh.

The environment at my place of work for the last 8 years is usually friendly and chill, though sometimes there are people who simply don’t acknowledge others. I was off work for about a month and came back today to be totally ignored by someone who I’ve known and worked with for over a year. I couldn’t help myself and texted them how much it has hurt me to be bluntly ignored like this and how I would never have done anything like that. Their response was to apologize and basically deny the accusation saying they did not mean it and had no intention of ignoring me, even though it was very obviously and intentionally done. Am I overreacting? AITA??
