All of a sudden the company I work for decided to randomly crack down on the break room fridge. Everything labeled with receipt and so forth. They even snoop open lunch boxes to look at brought from home lunches. I hate to say it but it is illegal to open up someone's backpack for search and seizure withou...

Our new store manager is conducting interviews asking employees about their families and what they do on their off time. He's even asking so-called psychological questions such as what your favorite color is. I feel these questions are none of his business unless it is directly related to workin...

Had one of those "hopped the border 2 months ago" ones today. Had his phone turned toward me and the truck as I was unloading. Can't prove he was but he can't prove he wasn't. He refused to turn his phone away. I called him out on it and like the other one, got "angry". He was going to try to take the truck a...

Has this site ever worked for anybody? Everytime I go to website to see pension estimate, it says not available at this time, please call. No problem calling, but you can only call once every 365 days for estimate. Would be nice if website worked.

Oh, boo hoo our lead is now crying that he can't come in and work when ever until when ever. Corporate finally put the foot down on this. Two wins for me actually. 1 He's been an alcoholic drunk since day one and an sob to work with. He's threatening to quit because he wants to work night crew shifts and throw...

Our department has had preferential scheduling treatment for 2 years or so. Everyone is getting pissy because of this change. This is how it's supposed to be rotating random shuffling schedules with no set schedule. I've always had this schedule and thought it was bias discrimination to have prefe...

By legal labor rest laws you are allowed breaks. Don't let a intimidating lead hara$$ you to skipping your breaks or waiting until hours 6+ to take them. Take your damn breaks! 2. Stop letting the lead call your personal phone and tie you up for 60+ minutes on a personal call asking how work is going when t...

I usually don't mind being a team player but our miss micromanager has taken it a step further and calls us at inappropriate times. She isn't the brightest when it comes to common sense or courtesy and acts like she's in charge when she's not. I'm getting more and more uncomfortable working with her. I b...

New uniform policy might see an ethics if they dont accept a reasonable accommodation for allergies to synthetics and polyesters coupled with a religious accommodation as well. Will present my reasonable accommodation to management but if they reject it the company gets this on them. Hr rep who is...

How come when your coworkers call out thry dont give a shit abt it. Yet when you your self call out their dicks abt it. Not only is this disrespectful it doesnt help support your team members when they are not well. I dont abuse the call out privilege unlike my coworkers.

Every few days we'll have to kick out drug addicts because they go into our restroom and lock them selves in. After a few hours we have to kick them out because after an hour you're pretty much loitering. Every few days this gets old. This is also not on the list of job duties I signed up for.

The BS is starting to get off the wall-totally ridiculous. Is this going on in your Local area? Did you get...
