Literally here just to complain. I actually like my job and want the opportunity to work more. She just hired someone on salary while I’ve been working part time for a year at $23 an hour. Performance reviews have been great. She just doesn’t like my aesthetic. (I work at a med spa)

I quit my job at THE BEST company in my area last year.

From an outside perspective, this company looks fantastic and employees are proud to tell people where they work. They do great work for the community, pride themselves on customer service, and brag about how well they treat their employees.

Working there was a different story. They loved saying we were a family, which is true if you compare the workplace politics to a toxic family dynamic. The pay, medical, and retirement benefits were horrendous. After two years of being told “the grass is always greener on the other side,” I accepted a job at another company with better pay, great health insurance (that my employer pays for 100%), and no “family” BS.

I deal with insurance now and occasionally help people from my previous company. They recently slashed one specific benefit to the point where it’s in their employees best interest to NOT use or even enroll in it. Telling people their “family” is providing them the worst plan I’ve dealt with and witnessing them come to the same realization I did a year ago gives me hope… and confirms that the grass was indeed greener on the other side.

I get the frustration people feel in the workforce, and while I saw a recent post advocating lying on resumes, I want to offer a different perspective: don't lie, but amplify your achievements. The reality is that many of us have done jobs where our hard work is undervalued, and the system encourages us to downplay our contributions. But you don't need to fabricate experience to get a better job—you just need to frame what you've done in a way that demonstrates your real impact.

Worked DoorDash? PF Chang’s? Sales at Best Buy? Admin work for a small family business? Maybe you helped your grandpa build a website or gave your friends creative advice. These aren’t just ‘side gigs’ or unskilled labor—they’re experiences that can be leveraged to show your value. Let’s stop underselling what we’ve done.

Instead of saying, “I packed orders in a timely manner” or “helped build a website,” here’s how to better frame those experiences:

• Coordinated order intake and fulfillment, ensuring efficient delivery and client satisfaction.
• Led cross-functional teams to ensure order flow and communication, resulting in repeat business.
• Ranked in the top 5 regionally for technical service accuracy, contributing to team training and onboarding.
• Handled executive requests, ensuring compliance and organizing company retreats.
• Provided strategic direction for personal and small business digital presence.

These aren’t lies—this is how you amplify what you’ve actually done in a system that’s designed to minimize your contributions. You don’t have to play into the exploitative system that forces us to undersell ourselves. I've helped my friends revamp their resumes with this approach, and they’ve started landing interviews and offers way beyond what they thought possible—without having to be dishonest.

Don’t let capitalism convince you that you haven’t done enough. You’ve done plenty—it’s time to frame it in a way that shows your worth.

Now I want to start by saying I don't blame Immigrants for anything, as it's the ones taking advantage of them and then spreading the consequences of that to citizens like myself who end up getting the short end of the stick. But it's important to add context to understand what's happening in this long post.

I am homeless and have been for awhile ever since a local program ended around 8 months ago or so that had given hotels for those getting back on their feet (which originally prevented me from being homeless). However the money for that ran out, and it's been a struggle to really get anything going as the couple organizations to help people like me (that also run shelters) are poorly run, and corrupt.

As the last several months went by, it had become a competition of resources with a surging immigrant population that has been arriving at both the shelters in the two towns near me, some sent from other small towns, some thrown out and bussed here from city centers far away from here, and enough of them have arrived to compromise resources from the local homeless population, with them usually being the priority. This isn't being done for free as "aid" is given to these organizations to help these groups and yet they seem to run low for everyone involved.

Last week, I finally had a job interview which was VERY frustrating to prepare for and passed it. Technically as of this moment I am hired, even told that on Saturday I could start working the same day. I only have to meet the uniform requirements and do some questions in a sit down with a regional manager before starting, and do the usual drug test, Originally, there was a fund set aside for jobs and I had worked with people at the organization/shelter I'm closest to and we had arranged that it would be used to help me get the uniform. However, that money is now gone. Along with money would would also aid in hotels for those who can't get into the shelter(s) because there wasn't enough room forcing people to find their own shelter outside if they don't get a room early enough

This has put me in a bad situation because now there is no money because all the resources have been drained, this as of Wednesday they told me they are not sure when they will ever have the funding to run what they used to.

Of course, as you probably expected I contacted the person who had hired me for the job who already knew I was homeless and a few other details that were brought up at the interview to try and negotiate. But every single suggestion was denied. They won't do part of the pay upfront, they won't help with the uniform or allow me to delay, they won't even loan it to me against my first check, which is weekly btw so wouldn't be long and at full-time $20/hr in a semi-rural area, I can easily make good on paying that back but I was given a no. In fact, he told me after suggesting to loan against my first check "you need to get up on your feet and pull yourself up and not expect the job to accommodate you" which I find frankly ridiculous.

Due to how things are set up, the towns are separated by miles of road, so I can only really go to the town with the new job in it with the cab fare I have been holding. I had planned to get there and get a gym membership (there's one in the town where the jobs located) for the showers, however that's now up in the air because of this issue with the homeless shelters having no funding so they claim, and the Employer having no interest in helping either.

This is a problem because being in an area with a couple small towns, and only two I have access to with what I have available (including where I am at now where the shelter is) I am greatly restricted from what stores I can access and there's little to no chain stores around (outside fast food) making me have to use local stores to get the full business style clothing for the job. The other town with a shelter is no different, and both shelters are claiming the same issues of losing their funds because of how many people are draining their resources.

I was only able to get the shoes so far, plain black, professional, and non-slip, however being homeless and having limited income I took a hit on it because there isn't really any clothing stores around me for miles that are cheap, and there's only a couple small churches and none of them do clothes, one does a food pantry but only for processed canned goods and candy on occasion which is the best they will help out with. There are very few clothing stores around. This meant I had to pay $85 for the shoes alone at a local chain, which is outrageous but is the cheapest I could get:

https://preview.redd.it/22730lz34hod1.jpg?width=294&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=217387ad53c6aac51f46a53b5b592327012c8add

But I would still need $120 more for the rest of the dresscode, I barely have a 5th of that and still have to look at food, and have to figure out how to get what's needed for the gym membership, and the cab fare I'm holding separately can't be touched or I won't even be able to get to town where the job and the Gym are and the whole thing goes out the window, so I'm left with nothing much after the shoe purchase. I got these yesterday.

There is also another important reason why this job is needed, my phone. I made a mistake got this ol' cheapo phone with some money I saved up along with a gift card a nice person gave me in front of the shelter months ago, and I didn't do the research and got burned, granted I can only do that at the library and that's usually crowded now too. I got this crummy oneplus Nords N200 I believe is the model and the whole glass display frame is peeling off the phone as you can see here thanks to the help of another person:

https://preview.redd.it/n195jyvx7hod1.png?width=274&format=png&auto=webp&s=a0507917c2b4eb17336a93f25c4de52ee274a51f

I was already having several issues with it, crashing, freezing, battery draining rapidly, sound issues, and more, but now the phone is on its last legs. The frame peels all the way toward where the navigation buttons are and is being held together by this one area at the bottom, so I have to constantly hold the phone at an upward angle to try and prevent the screen from snapping off. In addition the top left of the phones touch area is dying and is starting to spread, so if the phone doesn't become useless one way, it will another. Even a cheap phone around here is 150, so I need this job to still have a form of communication as well. In fact, to be frank I don't think this phone is going to live another 4-5 days so I'll likely be out a phone regardless, but at least if I get what I need to start the job I know I'll be able to eventually get another one.

However, all this has become incredibly problematic due to the lack of help from the shelter or the Employer after spending a lot of time attempting to find alternate ways to resolve this, and there is nothing, and while there's still barely two days left before I am supposed to be scheduled to work at the new job, and yes they told me I'd be removed from the position if I don't show up, and they won't delay the time, no one seems interested in helping out.

The comment from my likely soon to be boss baffles me. I don't understand the logic here, we (homeless) are blamed for being homeless, yet when we are in process of resolving that we are rejected, than blamed again as if its our fault we are stuck. Then they take this funding that frankly, I believe they never use like they are supposed to, leaving people like me to suffer the consequences. I'm not entirely sure if there's anything I haven't thought of or I am just screwed and I'm just going to sit here rotting scraping to get a couple McChickens at McDonalds, which isn't supposed to be how this work, Yet I'm told that, I'm in this situation because of me, despite me (attempting) fighting to get out. No wonder so many homeless quit and just drink all day until they are sick, I mean it's not good but I see WHY they do it now, they gave up. But I don't want to become like that if I can help it, but I'm not sure what other ways are there to prevent that.

Like it's clear you have to work to get anywhere for most people, and yet you're prevented from doing so, then told you are to blame because you don't want to work, but then you get work setup, then won't get help to finish crossing the finish line, it's fucking irritating and doesn't help the stress I'm already under.

I'm drunk right now, sorry for typos. Gonna try my best.

Being as vague as I can, I work customer service, I'm unionized, but I get 12 hours over the minimum that the union guarantees us to get, working four days a week. The store is kind of bare bones staffed, and my coworker keeps calling off and I'm really the only person who the boss can text to ask to come in. They don't get upset when I say no, and I always say no, and I told the boss I will really only cover shifts that are from someone going on vacation since I get plenty of notice for those shifts. Anyway, the coworker that keeps calling off only calls off on my days off, and he keeps doing this at this point for weeks on end with (seemingly) no consequences. No punishment, no writeups, no warning, nothing to my knowledge. This is really starting to stress me out. I'm sick of not being able to enjoy my days off because of the boss texting me saying "Hey, Jim (not real name) called out, can you come in?" I always say no because I do art commissions on the side and deal with mental health stuff and I also absolutely hate the person that I would have to work with if I did go in because they're a huge micromanager and drive me up the wall. I'd honestly be able to handle going in if it weren't for her, which is why I always say no, yet despite never once saying yes to coming in, I still always get asked week after week if I can come in. This is getting frustrated, but I'm worried if I bring this up with my manager that my hours might get cut or something for not "being a team player" or whatever. Since I'm not technically full time (I work 32, FT is 40) my hours can still get cut and I can't afford for that to happen. I'm not sure what I should do here, but I find it ridiculous that this guy is calling out so much with no repercussions. What do I do here????? This is really starting to stress me out, I feel like I can't relax, enjoy my days off, or get anything done. I already barely have a life outside of work, and this isn't helping...

How Did I Do It?

I created an AI bot that:

• Analyzes candidate information
• Examines job descriptions
• Generates unique CVs and cover letters for each job
• Answers specific questions that recruiters ask
• Automatically applies to jobs

AI is Changing the Game

Artificial intelligence is rapidly reshaping the recruiting landscape:

• Job seekers can optimize their CVs in seconds
• Cover letters are crafted with a click
• Perfect matching between skills and job offers
• Recruiters are using automated screening systems

This method is incredibly effective at passing through automated screening systems. By generating CVs and cover letters tailored to each job description, my script significantly increases the chances of getting noticed by both AI and human recruiters.

The Future of Recruitment: AI and the Balance with Human Interaction

• Artificial intelligence is automating recruitment processes and optimizing job applications.
• The challenge will be to preserve the human touch and avoid losing authentic candidate evaluation.
• Companies may need to reinvest in personal interviews to distinguish real talent.
• It's essential to balance AI efficiency with the need for a work environment enriched by human interaction.

Labor Code section 2802 This section requires employers to reimburse employees for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred while performing their job, including the use of a personal cell phone for work-related calls.

I keep seeing the issue of personal phones being required by employers. Know and understand your rights.

I gave one star. They messaged me saying I was reported to Google and to take it down before further action is taken. And something about they notified who needed to know about the review.

Put my two week notice in. Labor Day comes and goes. My last day was the Wednesday after but I didn't get paid for holiday. Texted boss twice to get an answer and he said it was because I resigned the week before. I was still employed at the time. The only policy that was in effect at the time was you have to work day before and day after. Which I did. Seems like a petty thing to do. Keep in mind for the whole 6 years I've been there I'm the only one to give notice. People just stop showing up. I would open up for him when he wasn't available and watch the business when he was out of town

As of today I am no longer employed, and I have absolutely no idea why or what to do. I've had this job for the past month and a half, and so far things have been going really well as far as I was concerned. I put a break to school, to save up for a car so I wont have issue with my attendance due to that being part of the grade where I attend. (I had to switch campuses to continue with classes for trade school)

My boss has been giving me more hours, in place of other employees he'd rather have working less. Due to my prior experience, he had no need to train me on handling cash or orders. He was even considerate of the fact im a veteran, with a really bad back, and have no transportation outside public transit.

But now as I was told just earlier, I am no longer employed because I have a bad attitude??

Of course in my confusion I asked what he meant. As per my bosses word, the night shift manager said I had a bad attitude. She also told him I was over cooking fries all night. At no point during my time working here so far have I had any issues or instances or being reprimanded for anything. Not my efficiency, not how I conduct myself, absolutely nothing. I also get along with everyone here just fine, the only outlier is our night manager. Who 100% stay to herself, and barely interacts with anyone.

As of just yesterday, about 2 hrs into my shift. She asks me to hand her some fries and another item for an order. Items which my coworker, whos on the grill/meat, has already told me to put down. Everyone but me has a headset. So I take instructions from everyone else around me.

She then got upset because I couldnt give her what she wanted, and started to berate me. I simply apologized and explained it was cooking, and tried to loosen up the tension by saying that I had to wait for one of the fryers to be freed up to begin the order he had just given me in a more light hearted voice. Even my coworker pointed out he had JUST gave me that order. But had to wait a sec to start. She just gave us a look and walked away.

For the instance with so called "burnt" fries. She herself told me to walk away from taking them out, to go and grab something for another order. So when I pulled them up after doing exactly as I was told, and dropping in another item. The fries were slightly darker than the golden brown they normally are.

My bosses explanation was that I was disrespectful, and that its too much trouble when I "make up excuses" about not being able to walk several miles to work just because the buses are running late or having issues. As well as her pointing out to him I sometimes have to ask her or someone else to repeat what they said. I have chronic back pain, and hearing loss from the navy. Something I had informed him of since the beginning.

Do I have ANY recourse of options here? I dont understand how 1 moment, my boss the entire time is telling me how well im doing, to this literally over night. How is it I was being disrespectful exactly? She was being pretty damn rude about the situation, but I thought I was being professional enough by simply apologizing and explain how theres nothing else I can do but wait for it.

I really lost at the moment on how I should go about this. I dont even really understand wtf I did wrong.

Man I really don’t care! I work at a restaurant with ‘Apple’ in the name and I work there as a dishwasher. It’s really thankless and easy work but it’s not anything I’m crazy about. I called out last week and called in today cause well… fuck it! They haven’t fired me cause I know I’m the best dishwasher they’ve ever had and the one who has stayed the longest. I honestly am not surprised that so many people quit before I “joined the team” Don’t get me wrong, my work ethic is high and I do everything I’m supposed to do + more. But with a head manager who is insufferable and the two others who are “chill”, none of the three of them have any leadership skills. So if no one wants to do what there job entails while I do more than being a dishwasher then fuck it! I’m done caring! Good bye that’s the end of my rant

I have been sick for weeks now, but this past week has been getting progressively worse. Vomiting, nausea, diarrhea, etc. and no end in sight for when it'll get better. Hell I just developed laryngitis and my doctor is genuinely concerned with how often I've had to come see him lately. So with that this week I've essentially missed every single day and my team lead at work sends me a text saying if I miss any more time there will be corrective action. Despite turning in a new doctors note every single god damn day this week. And doing my best to document and update with what's going on. I work at a call center, so I would be for sure getting in trouble if I showed up coughing, vomiting and literally incapable of talking. This literally makes me want to put my notice in and start looking for a new job.

So a while back, I posted about how my old job took duties away from me, clocked me out without my permission, and finally denied my yearly raise, telling me I hadn't earned it, but refusing to tell me what, exactly, I was doing wrong. Just told me to "be honest with myself" and figure it out, and keep working at it, dangling a carrot on a stick in front of me.

Basically, they made me feel like I was a piece of shit worker.

Well, I finally had enough and walked out. I filed a labor dispute, and got my stolen wages back.

I found a new job that paid a little less, but that I really love, and enjoyed coming in to do. A place where the people were happy to see me every day, too, and tell me often that I'm doing a great job.

I found happiness.

And best of all, my new job called me into the office today, told me I was "killing it", and gave me a $1 raise!! Effective immediately!! BEFORE I even hit my 90 days!!

I didn't even know what to say. When they called me into the office, they told me it was for something very positive. But I still couldn't help being a little nervous. I mean, all the experience I had so far of being called into the office, meant I was going to be told I was doing something wrong.

So when they told me what they did, I was a little mind blown. Imagine working for a place that actually likes you, and treats you with respect, and rewards you for working hard and doing a good job!!

It's sad that that's so rare.

But I'm so happy I found my current job. I love the people, I love what I do, and I love it here!!

And I'm now making only 25¢ less than I was at my old job. So taking the pay cut at the beginning was totally worth it.

It was totally worth it anyway, just for the peace of mind I got.

All I can say is, DON'T stay where you're not appreciated. It's NOT worth it. I put up with shit for WAY too long. I won't EVER do that again.

Oh, and if you possibly can, get a job for a place that's small and local. It makes a huge difference.

Oh, and fuck you, old job, for ever making me doubt myself!!

The problem was NEVER me. It was always them, all along.

Who's the piece of shit now, huh??

😂😂😂😂

I work for a small thrift store run by a chairty, and everyone, and I mean everyone, at the store fucking hates each other. The cashier always has a snide remark ready for every other employee, the assistant manager and an employee half his age are butting heads because the latter feels entitled to his job, and basically everyone looks down their nose at me because nobody fucking cares about the 'no smoking' rule so I'm sneezing uncontrollably in the back room while I'm working, on top of not being the most physically fit.

This is the only job I've managed to get in the last year, and the only one I've managed to hold onto for more than a few months. But fuck me, every single fucking job I've worked at for the past three years is full of people that hate each other, and I genuinely wish these people would just sit down, grow up, and talk to each other about their grievances instead of being constantly passive-aggressive.

In response to some terrible management decisions, my coworkers and I have been leaving negative, but honest, reviews of what its like to work here. Recently it came to our attention that Glassdoor removed ALL of these reviews, saying they ‘violated’ their terms of service. We were professional in our wording, didn’t lie or over exaggerated, and when we inquired about the specifics of these removals they ghosted us with no response.

Since Glassdoor caters to companies instead of employees, I’m wondering if there is a better place to leave these reviews? I want to hurt the company’s hiring pool since they are treating us like crap, and just generally warn people that they will be abused by this employer. What is the best way to do that?

Just applied to a part time job at a head shop. Was asked to make a video answering multiple questions (that I already answered through another form). Even compressed and breaking up each question to a separate video can't get under my attachment size limit.

Not sure if this request is for age discrimination or race discrimination.

My work's policy allows for two 10 minute breaks and an unpaid 30 minute lunch when you work 8 hours.

However, due to the type of work I do, I often work 10 to 12 hour days, during which I can't really take breaks every two hours. Usually I work for 6 hours straight, take a 30 minute to 2 hour unpaid break, and work another 5 to 6 hours straight.

During my long shifts, I can sometimes find time to step away from my work for a bit. But, I feel like my boss will get upset if he catches me doing this. Heck, one time during a meeting, I needed to step away to use the bathroom and he told me to not take longer than 5 minutes (at that point in the meeting everyone was just chatting and the meeting was basically over). Not to mention, my boss frequently calls employees lazy and stupid when there are any issues whatsoever.

I want to take breaks, even if my boss dislikes it. But I can't help but feel like I'm going to get fired if my boss catches me "slacking" between jobs.

So I work in a kitchen manufacturing business and I am currently drawing all the joinery on 3D cad after working years on the factory floor honing my trade. I've got my own desk, phone and email address now and I was really excited and proud that I was moving up the ladder.

Turns out all that has happened is that anything I do is now scrutinized beyond belief and I have a mountain of work that cannot be done by myself in a normal work week. When I do overtime to complete these tasks my boss tells me that I need to do it in normal hours because he didn't allow overtime for it. He rushes me and errors occur and he loses his shit about them.

I have been stressing trying to come up with ways of making my work more efficient to be able to meet deadlines but I figured out its impossible. There needs to be another person helping me with the workload or be given more time to complete jobs. Neither of which my boss will do.

Pair this with the fact that I found out that the guy downstairs who filled my old position with half the responsibilities as me currently is getting paid the same per hour as me, I was over it. I was over the stressing, I was over trying my hardest only to be shit on at the end.

Then I unlocked a secret level that I didn't even know existed.

I stopped stressing and started cruising on the jobs. I worked maybe at 60% capacity and stopped caring about people jumping up and down awaiting their drawings etc. I would leave on time every day and not worry about trying to cram in extra work before the days end. In between drawing I would peruse news sites or reddit as well.

To my surprise the less I really cared the less anything changed. My boss was still shitty half the time but it was pretty much the same as I always got, The only difference was that now I didn't take any of it personally because my care factor was at an all time low. I stopped answering phone calls or emails after hours too and its business as usual.

I was in disbelief, I am getting paid the exact same as before but now I don't really care and am getting treated the same.

I was always in the belief that if you worked hard the results would show but not at this place. The more you care the more you stress. Stress less and get paid the same and its happy days.

I've been doing this for like 3 years now by the way. I've lowered my capacity over those years and now that's just the work output he expects from me and I stress less for it. Its quite literally a secret level I didn't think existed.

Climb that ladder, food champions.

I get paid well. But...my job is unbearable. My workload has more than doubled while my salary jumped a whopping 3%. I have a lot of flexibility, work 4 days a week from home most weeks. But my boss is challenging, I feel stressed constantly to the point that it is taking a toll on my health. I do not know for certain but do not think my boss will stick around long term...I have an offer for a job that pays 30% less, requires 5 days on site, and has less benefits - sounds awful, huh? But...the workload is sooooioo much more managable, the boss more likeable and better organized, and I truly think I would enjoy the job more. I could work with the pay cut, though my savings to retirement would be greatly impacted. At the rate I am going, not sure I will make it to retirement. Advice?

… is something that’s becoming harder and harder to sell oneself anymore. Yes I have a job, am in debt for education and healthcare, am married and not looking to have any kids (can’t afford them, terrified of the state education is in, school shootings) and eat everyday.

But it could be better. Damn it, it SHOULD! how come $27+/hr is still struggling!? (Orlando sucks)

Sorry about the rant. I like to stay positive and see how I have it good anyways, just feeling a little defeated lately.

End rant.

At work, engineering, I heard that I "might not be working all the 8 hours." Also, "I get up too much". Like what do you mean? Sorry for pissing and getting water fucking wow. And now that ive worked 9-5 for 8 months, I see that this was bullshit. I still am hearing this even after changing to work +30 min just to silence these haters and still I hear this. Bullshit. IDK who it is but I bet it's the one owner chick in my section. Fuck you. Fuck off.

Also, there's no way in hell that they or anyone around them is being productive for all 8 hours :/ there's just no way.

Every single middle aged engineering woman I've ever worked with has a problem with me while everyone else is quite chill Idk what it is? I don't take BS and it gets thrown at me.... Ugh

I like to go to the gym every day for about an hour. It is really good for my mental health on top of everything else. Doesnt affect my job or performance. Manager heard about that i go every day and called me into her office and told me that i need cut down on the gym and spend less time working out. What the f**k has it to do with her what my out of work hobbies are. The Miserable cow. Managers actually think they are allowed to involve themselves with your personal life. Get straight in the bin.

So I work for a small family owned takeout restaurant in my city. I’ve been there for more than 3 years now and when I started there were 2 employees in my role. One employee quits, I alone am in that role doing the job of two. I guess I was soo good at doing everything that the owner decided not to hire a second employee, or said he just can’t find anyone who wants to work. So I took on the role of two without complaining and have been doing it almost since I started there, 3 years. My boss pays me cash under the table. I haven’t had a raise in 2 years and I asked him about it and he said he can’t afford to pay me anymore for my position. He said I’m the highest paid employee bc I do the job of two but no raises. I learned not long ago that him keeping all of my credit card tips for himself and I get the cash tips, is illegal. He’s been doing it since he opened 7 years ago. The other day I found out that he pays the one other employee that works there besides myself, for time when she misses for a doctors appointment or whatever. He pays her. Me? Nope. If I happen to go in late for whatever reason, my money is docked. I’m sick, docked. He also pays the other employee under the table the same as me. I know I should look for employment elsewhere, and I have been looking , it’s just my car isn’t very reliable and need to stay close to home for now. And the main reason I continue to work there is because I absolutely love my customers and they love me. I feel joy and happiness from interacting with them at work. I can’t just up and quit right now even though I want to sooo bad. I want to let him know that I know it’s illegal to keep my credit card tips and also I know he pays the other employee for time she misses unlike myself. I want to report him for theft to the labor board but I’m nervous I’ll get into trouble for being paid in cash and not claiming it on my taxes. What should I do? What do I say and I want to be paid for all of my credit card tips since I started but I don’t know how to compel him to do so. I just need advice please.
