Last year was 33 cents and now 34. Coworkers were reacting like this ❤️👍🏻💪🏻🙏 to the announcement on WhatsApp the boss sent, how can this be celebrated? It doesn’t even makes a dollar, all I felt was a spit on my face twice. We only earn one more dollar of the minimum wage, I’m not complaining but “congratulating us for hard work and effort you deserve this 34 cents” is sad. This is the same boss who told me my problems are not his

Ive been using my PTO to travel twice this year requesting an early shift before I leave so I arrive on time and another one in the night when I return so it doesn’t count as another day off, they told me I can’t choose my shifts anymore, I got in trouble with my boss for doing this before so now I can only have my PTO without a shift accommodation. My schedule changes almost weekly or twice a week so it’s why I didn’t expect this to be a problem especially when I use my PTO during week days. Boss says it’s causing overtime, strange cause he only gives me 32 hours but only wants me to have 40 hours if someone suddenly misses work or quits

I’ll have a flight in a few months in the morning meaning that it’s possible that I may work at night and clock out the same hour the flight time, asking for an early shift is no longer an option cause I’ll need my 3 days off during my travel, (I get no more than that weekly) returning on the third day so I can do whatever shift the next day, so using my sick days to get 4 days off to avoid a night shift before leaving is the only guaranteed way I won’t lose that flight. I never use my sick days

The trip before that one I can safely use my PTO, but calling work as sick in the fourth day, I shouldn’t get in trouble for this one since I never miss work either when im scheduled

I have 4 cats and a box for each one of them and he always poops right next to the boxes unless I’m watching him, it’s like he knows he’s not supposed to do that so he waits until I’m not around. I moved the boxes to another room and that made it worse, he keeps doing it AND goes back to poop where the boxes used to be. I also changed the litter brand and nothing. He only likes to use it the first 2 or 3 days when I replace it, or simply doesn’t wants to share it with the other cats but I can’t teach them which one belongs to who and they’re all around the house. He’s about to turn 9 months and he’s always been like this

I’ve been requesting days off without exceeding the minimum, which is 3 days off per week. I get my days off during week days and getting them in a row is more favorable since I have a kid and there are days where I can’t work at night. I never work in the morning, those shifts are either for his favorite employees or are reserved for those who need it, so I don’t even bother asking for an early shift and when I can’t work at night I let him know I can only work at 2pm otherwise I’ll need the day off, he doesn’t like it even though it’s my most common shift and I just tell when I can or can’t do night shift. In summer is more complicated so now he’s telling me that my problems are not his but it’s also the other way around, and I know this isn’t causing anyone making overtime cause I still get the 3 days off, he’s just pissed that I’m making “my own schedule and that corresponds to him” and HR “having problems with him” for the times I’ve requested accommodations.

He doesn’t like being told which shift I can do at some days but requesting “too many days off” is bad for him. (He calls the 3 days off consecutively too many days cause he likes giving them to me random) So what I’m thinking right now is stop requesting days off and call to miss work the same day if that seems to be better. I think I’m letting him get into my head too much and giving him the feeling that he owns me, I’ve been thinking about quitting or just wait until he wants to fire me
