It was a food sales job (I did food samples) that paid weekly for $17.81/hr every Friday for the previous week's hours and each day was a 6 hour shift, part time. I worked one shift for the week of June 11.

Timeline:

• May 31, 2026: Texted supervisor 2 week notice for June 14.

• June 11, 2026: Last day of work. Supervisor acknowledged my resignation and opted for June 11 to be my last day.

• June 14, 2026: I received an email acknowledging the separation from the company for June 11.

• June 23, 2026: I was usually paid weekly. I realized I did not receive my paycheck for June 11. The deposit date would have been the following Friday, June 19th. I did not get a paycheck in the mail either. Texted supervisor.

• June 24, 2026: Supervisor acknowledged I should have been paid and said she emailed payroll and would get back to me.

• June 30, 2026: I followed up. She replied "let me check on that" and I haven't heard from her since. I also called the HR number for the company, left a voice mail, and did not get a call back.

Considering reporting this. Should I keep waiting for a response or just report it now? Thank you

Thank you for your inputs everyone, I'll go ahead and do it now. I appreciate it

Thing is, I speak frankly. Not trying to be an asshole. If she can speak frankly to me, I figured I can with her. She's driving me nuts and starting to pick a fight saying that I was trying to fight with her.

I have a lot of frustrations to do with her work ethic and even safety concerns. Just some at the top of my head:

• she told an associate to mix Fabuloso with bleach to mop. I said no it was unsafe, it creates a gas. She even insisted "just a little bit of bleach" when just a little is very effective. I even checked the osha website and it verified that it's dangerous.

• she left 2 baskets in the middle of an aisle. I took those baskets and brought them up to the register. I told her they were in the middle of the aisle. She said no they were on the side. I said they weren't. (I wouldn't have picked them up otherwise, the aisles are small. I didn't want people tripping over them). Then she proceeded to take my coworkers to shit talk me on the other side of the store. My coworker told me. My coworker also has frustrations with her and later texted me after I clocked out apologizing for what I dealt with today. My coworker wasn't even the one who argued with me but she witnessed it.

• ASM would tell me to move shelves a certain way but they can't. Like she wanted me to move a shelf right on top of a product. It literally could not get lower. I tried. She still kept insisting I do it. I said I could not. I also mentioned a safety issue, like if customers grabbed the product underneath, the shelf will topple. Or she'd tell me to move the shelf down for a different shelf. I said it was uneven if I did, it wouldn't fit. I still moved it down because she insisted. She said no move it up. I said that was where it was before. She said it wasnt, I said it was.

• one time around closing she was video chatting her boyfriend. Wasn't even working. During closing she was still chatting while counting the tills. I counted 2 registers, she was still counting one. And then she wasn't focused and the float was off because she was distracted on the phone. I recounted and fixed what she missed. She miscounted. She wasn't even about to do the float of $300 until I asked. If that were me she would've reamed me out and she did get on me when I was still new at learning the till over 10 cents. (The manager walked me through personally later and I got it and didn't make anymore mistakes)

• on our store's grand opening (just recently), i was supposed to clock out at 6. I had opened with the manager. Right before 6:00 ASM told me she was going to take her lunch so I had to stay longer. I had clocked in at 9:15. So I had to wait because there had to be a lead or manager on-site. But if she knew she'd be alone why didn't she bring her own lunch. I stayed overtime as a result. I was exhausted. It was busy. I clocked out at 6:40.

• she also doesn't take ten minute breaks if the manager is not there. She takes fifteens, even almost twenties at times.

• her lunches and breaks are not punctual. I've had to wait on her before I can take mine when I could've taken my lunch. She also said, on our closing shifts, that we couldn't take breaks after 8, which I get. I took mine at 7:40. She takes hers at 8 and comes back at 8:17. We close at 9 most days.

• she even berates and lectures over mistakes but never takes accountability for hers. Like it would be really small and I'd casually bring it up but I notices she lies. Then acts like I'm trying to pick a fight with her, but I've never had this issue with anyone unless I think they hate when their mistakes are pointed out. I make mistakes too and take accountability and learn from it. But it's hard to work under someone who is not approachable or takes their own accountabilities

• stock, she'll tell me something is full. I check. It's half empty. I tell her. She said she meant a different area. 😮‍💨

• she tells me to do things she doesn't want to do or doesn't know how to do. Like she led me on a wild goose chase to find a spot for umbrellas. I asked where. She pointed in a random direction. I checked 3 times, even had a coworker check with me. I finally go to the manager and she leads me to the umbrellas, nowhere near where the ASM said. ASM comes back and asked if I stocked them and where. She really got on me to stocking them.

I've been keeping a log privately to cover my ass but I feel like she's becoming hostile. I kept my head down for a lot of what she does, but I can't speak up if I notice a rule being broken. I opted to talk to the manager because I am afraid of retaliation and there's potential safety hazards, as well as rules being made arbitrarily and not keeping to those rules.

Like damn I'm just a shift lead. I worked 11 years in the industry doing what I do now, but this company paid better than the last job. I was glad for the opportunity but I feel if I leave it's because she is driving me out. I'm hoping at least the manager hears me out.

I'm excited to wander Artist Alley, Exhibit Hall, and just look at everything! Might sit in a panel or two depending, nothing set in stone. How about you guys?

Edit: I've been enjoying your replies! It's so fun to see what everyone is excited to do and thank you for sharing! ☺️

Feel free to keep sharing, I will read them all even if I don't reply 🙂

All your plans sound so exciting!

I'm starting to think I have ADHD. I even suspected hormone issues, I have one ovary left after my hysto due to an ovarian cyst. I also had fibroids. I am 36. I am not 100% the same person I was before, I def know I used to care about things more. I still care about stuff but I am not as attentive when I should be. I also am more prone to anxiety. When I get anxious now, I get digestive upset when I rarely did before. I also have a lowered libido. I used to get very horny but now I somewhat do when I am supposed to have a "period".

I just got hired into a new job and I feel like I am coasting rather than really learning anything that I should. It's such a struggle and I'm frustrated. Am I tripping? What is it that I'm experiencing?

Maybe I should schedule a doctor's appointment? The last time I went to my doc about hormones she brushed me off because I only complained about sleeping issues. 🫤 I sleep better now and no heat flashes, but I def noticed something is different about me.

Hello, I haven't interviewed in a very long time and was wondering what sort of questions I'll be asked. I have ample experience for a similar position.

It seems it will be the first round of interviews and apparently there's more? It's for a new store that will be opening.

I'm very nervous about that due to lack of interview experience as I was at my previous company for a long time (not in management but close). I am excited about the prospect of possibly working for this company.

Just some things I'm recalling now that I'm settling, just rambling because I can't sleep.

• still have numbness in an area since the surgery

• it took quite a while, probably a few months, for me to stop having urinary incontinence. I had it because of fibroids. I asked my obgyn for pelvic floor therapy and he said a weak pelvic floor is only for people who have had children (which is false I experienced it and fixed it on my own when I had fibroids years prior). He said it was probably a uti (it wasn't). I still get leaks sometimes for reasons unknown to me but they go away

• i also lost an ovary due to a cyst. I don't feel quite the same emotionally, like there's a disconnect. I still feel, but it's really hard to explain personally. The way I handle and process things are somewhat different. I gather it might be hormone-related but my doc thinks it's not that and says I should try melatonin for sleep 😮‍💨 I feel a bit crazy for this disconnect. Is it dissociation. Idk.

• whenever I get more horny than usual I check the calendar. It's when I'm supposed to be on my period

• I am not as horny as I used to be. It's not that I can't get aroused but my sex drive is lower

• my energy levels aren't as low as they used to be. My iron deficient anemia issue has been resolved

• no more period pains!!!! I used to take painkillers more due to painful cramps. I can't imagine doing the job I'm doing now while still having fibroids/heavy bleeding/low energy/prolonged bleeding

• no more crazy weight gain or loss. Fibroids made my weight unpredictable

That's all I can remember right now
