I worked at Subway for three (3) weeks, within those three weeks the manager and I was talking to each other about dating. She would send me little kissing smiling faces through a text and I told her while we was at work to keep it professional and I told her through text I wasn't in any way shape or form ready to have any type of relationship right now. Well working at a subway they train people on morning shift with two people in the store to train that person. Now being the new guy and talking to the manager she put in word that she wanted to make me the assistant manager for the night crew, she didn't tell me I was going to be training someone one night and left me there by myself on a busy night to train someone. She told me if I needed anything to ask other co-workers to get what I need, right? Well leaving me there with someone that don't know what they're doing how do you ask them to make something for the line when you run out of things during a rush and help teach them how to do things while making back up things for the line? Well after a night from hell I text her saying I wasn't a good person for the assistant manager job but I'd still work nights, she then texts me back saying we needed to talk about how the store was left that previous night. So beings that it was business talk I go into the store that morning and she asks me what am I doing there and I told her any kind of business talk isn't talked about through a text message. So I ask her what's up? All she said was she didn't appreciate the way I left the store for her to open up to. I ask, is that it? She says yes, then she starts talking about things she was gonna do that morning like her and another employee was gonna train someone that day, and that made me a little mad that she had me by myself training a person at night when she and another employee was gonna train someone during the day time so since we was done talking I storm out the store and head home. About two (2) minutes later she texts me saying not to worry about working. I didn't do anything wrong except leaving the store the way I did, so I can't think of any other reason of why I got fired other than I didn't ask her out fast enough. The person I was training that night, we became good friends now, she said she was fired because, and this is what the manager told her to her face, she said she didn't have black people working for her. If that was the case, why was I training a black person, excuse my French or anyway of offense to some, but why have me train a person she don't hire just to do that to her in a couple of days? So I feel honestly she set me up to me either quitting or me get mad like I did because of how things played out and saying something to where she had to fire me.

The Uber harassment debacle is not an uncommon workplace experience for women. There are, unfortunately, too many working women who undergo some form of direct and indirect harassment behavior from coworkers and managers. Cases are even worse off for women working minimum wage and mid level management jobs. Silence is the first reaction out of fear of retaliation. I’ve heard more stories of women getting fired after reporting instances of inappropriate behavior to their HR departments but isn’t HR there to protect employees from these unfortunate experiences? How would you rate your Human Resources Department? Do they keep you informed on your rights as an employee Think HR’s got your back?

I got hired as a cashier as my first official job. I started to warm up to it until one of my managers found out that I was LDS. I didn't know what his problem was, but he started acting like a jerk to me every time I walked in. He kept telling me horrible rumors about my church and I just wanted to cry at some points. Whether or not a person is religious, he/she shouldn't be harassed around for it. Another shocking thing: he was 31 years old!

After I went to the owner of my job and talk him why I couldn't work at bakery he put me back in cold bar. I recently told them in am excellent worker but I despise being around the heat. So the owner told me take two days off from bakery and come in this Friday which is tomorrow. I feel like they ate shortening my hours and not giving me the hours I need. My hours are way short this weekend except Saturdays where they want me to close for the night. Is this a coincidence? Or am I being underwork? ? Because my manager for back line prep,cooks,bakery, said he was very disappointed in me and he couldn't give me,any more days but when flirty women gets in,his five he give them,what they want.and I like keep work professional. So should I leave or stay??????? Because my fellow co workers like to be lazy and hang around an eat food while trying be flirtatious with me which I very much tell them off.

A couple who works at my office is going through a divorce right now (we saw it coming, trust me). So far it has been fine, except the other day things got very rough between them and now they have basically trying to get everyone in the office to side with them to "prove" the other is in the wrong. It's pissing all of us off but our manager said he refuses to get involved with personal issues. Has anyone here ever resolved this kind of thing without management cooperation? Thanks.

More than anything else, employers look for people with great attitudes. I hired on energy and enthusiam as I could teach a person everything else, but if they did not walk in the door with energy and enthusiasm, they never would develop those qualities. I see perhaps a majority of people here who routinely express hatred toward employers, recruiters and jobs in general. Many punctuate their opinions with extreme spelling and curse words. They blame their life situation on others. Then curse and balme those hear to offer true and professional advise as idiots and mother fuckers! I held a job since 1969, rose within management to Director of Marketing Communications for 4 divisions before starting my own marketing communications consultation business. I am 66 and still serving clients. So if you choose not to listen to those who have worked, hired, fired, had to lay off, worked in recruiting and in all areas of business communications, that's fine, but I speak unvarnished truth. If you have a bad attitude and speak it, even if you are a genius, you will not get hired. Screaming fuck those mother fuckers will get you less than you have now, always, which might be cool at 20 but not so mcuh at 66.

Every day the guy in the cubicle next to my stops by to complain about how much he hates our company, how they always screw him, and how much he wants to quit. This was annoying but not problematic, until he started trying to get other people on board with him by using MY name and saying I agree with him! I don't want that kind of reputation but he's also not someone I want to be angry at me. Is there any good way to clear this up peacefully?

What do you do when an employee feels you are bullying them and being unfair, when really you are enforcing production policy and production procedure from the employee handbook that past supervisors did not. I have tried every approach to work with the employee over the past 20 months and nothing resonates. Every encounter with said employee turns into defiance, intentional work slow downs, and insubordination. Top management within said company knows of this employee's history towards supervisors and does nothing to help remedy. I now feel as though my integrity and morals have been compromised because of lies and deceit.

When you are turning in an application at a retail store or anywhere else, as soon as you are on the property, bite your tongue and be courteous, this lady literally bumped into me and said out of my way, aND went into this convenient store, she had an application in her hand turning it in. I walked in and watched her a bit, her attitude in the store was just wow, and not the good wow. She saw me looking and gave the kind of wtf u looking at, not just me, almost to all the customers in there. As soon as the manager came out to meet her, her attitude changed, like an angel, like the best person in the world....guess what people, I happened to be really good friends with that manager and I stop in when I'm in the area, so I walked over and said hi, her face, haha, her face turned white, started stammering like she saw the boogeyman. Lesson here Job seekers, always always put that world face when you are at a property you are applying for. I know it gets exhausting, but keep going, and keep doing you. Good luck out there and be NICE dammit
