I’ve always loved working. I started my first job at 16 even though my parents wanted me to wait. I always had a job up until right before I turned 21 because I developed severe epilepsy. It’s been hard not being able to work but I finally have it under control. It scares me to go back to work because it’s been so long. I hope to work somewhere that understands or at least empathizes with overcoming something like this.

I just started my new job yesterday at Back in Balance and let me be the first to say , I love my job. The office manager both treat you like family not just an employee. It is a small office with a laid back setting. I can say that I found my work family and my career path.

The most difficult part of finding a job is one that pays well and works with you, your schedule, and needs

The atmosphere at CES is family like ! From the management to the field personal all family. With an office staff that is second to none CES is a great place to work

Love taking care of people been working as a cna since 2002 love my job. Love being able to provide patients with ADL's being able to help someone and getting them back to walking and eating and being able to see them go home is amazing. Being a cna is has been amazing.

What I loved about my last job is..it wasn't boring and time flew by. The hardest part about it was,it was too far away,and they would change schedule at anytime.

I love my job that's why I enjoy doing it and my job is making me happy and fun

I have a situation and i’m not sure how to handle it, I just transferred jobs to a different state. i’ve always enjoyed working for the company until i came to my new store.

A little background, i come from a store that was heavily monitored by our corporate office. our store was always on our game, keeping up with weekly and bi-weekly procedures, clean and organized. The store i have transferred to isn’t so much monitored. Store is behind on a lot of processes, and because my boss does things “her way and doesn’t care what she is told” she doesn’t seem to mind. We recently received a shrink audit and we failed miserably because of it. This one because I am fairly new doesn’t really reflect on me as the infractions we received don’t accumulate over a months time, but in a few months when we are re-audited they will be looking at me as I am secondary management. There are no processes in place, no structure and i don’t see how we are going to become audit ready by the time our next audit rolls around. Now onto the part I need advice on.

My boss.. i don’t know where to start. I don’t know how to put her behavior other than emotionally abusive. I have been with her for over a month and have never heard anything positive come from her. She spends entire shifts walking the store nit picking everyone. When asked a question from anyone on her staff she makes it a point to belittle them and make them feel small. I am all about a firm and strict management system but there is a point when you are killing the self-esteem of your employees. Your staff should be able to come to you with questions without the fear of feeling terrible about themselves afterward. There is no pleasing her and nothing anyone does is good enough. She has good and bad days but 4/5 days I spend with her are bad. For example, an employee opened the store and did tasks that were assigned the day before, when my boss came in, the employee asked what else she would like done and she looks at her and goes “ i don’t know what do you think should be done?” the employee said i’m not sure which is why I’m asking and in front on customers , the manager starts point to paper and goes okay time to make a list as if she is speaking to a toddler. I couldn’t believe that someone is perfectly okay with speaking to someone in such a way, i was in awe. What I am saying may on paper look petty and whiny but if you were in the shoes of myself and fellow employees you would understand where I am coming from. My fear is if i is brought to her attention I will loose hours and be treated much worse than I am now, and i feel if it if brought up to Human Resources anonymously than she will be that way to the entire store and I don’t want everyone’s life to be even worse at work that is is now. How would you handle this situation ? I really could use some guidance. Thank you.

I wasn't surprised considering the company wasn't doing well. I was partially happy because it was a toxic work environment that effected my mental health. However, now I'm concerned about not having income to pay my student loans. I looked for work while employed for over a year and found nothing...not sure what else to do.

I have been working for awhile in the bay area in the warehouse and wanted to pass this on. You need to........ 1 like people cuz there are a LOT of them and you gotta get along with people. 2 work smart and keep track of your time. 3 give up your phone. They won’t let you take it in. I don't blame em ppl get distracted. 4 Work hard. I DON'T get why people don’t understand that warehouse work is HARD....hell any job is hard work. 5 Get good shoes and take care of your feet, you only got two. 6 Bring a cold bagged lunch, there are only a few microwaves and a ton of us. I have enjoyed it here and have good benefits and pay but yeah you work so don't expect any different. No room for complainers at Amazon. Do your work and get paid...simple.
