The vacation time doesn’t even carry over to the following year. Vacation time is a precious thing. You shouldn’t have to spend every weekday at work for the rest of your life just because you have a job. We all need a little break sometimes, and often a three-day weekend won’t cut it. We all …

Job interviewer lies that his current salary is $15K more than it is, gets the job, and earns $20K more than he made at his old job: ‘They will lie to you to pay you less whenever possible.’

23-year-old employee refuses to cover her 26-year-old coworker’s shifts until she repays the $800 she lent her 15 months ago: ‘I’ve covered at least 14 of her shifts this past year, and she has never covered for me.’
She’s only paid her back $100 of the $800 she «borrowed» over a year ago. When you lend money to somebody, your relationship totally changes.

Manager accuses retail employee of «stealing» for taking a full 30-minute lunch break instead of only taking 20 minutes: ‘I told her if it’s unpaid, that time is mine.’
Are those ten minutes really so valuable to the company? Some companies are extremely strict about their employees taking their breaks, especially when those employees are under 18. I remember when I was a minor working 8-hour shifts; my company did not mess around about me taking my mandatory 30-minute breaks between the four-hour shifts. …
