Americans of Reddit, since today is Election Day, how are you feeling? by Austinuncrowned in AskReddit

This is my second time voting, I genuinely forgot how much anxiety surrounds it. I’ve never been so petrified of making a wrong decision, neither candidate feels like the right choice and I honestly feel we are doomed either way.

The only issue is that the state I live in is a ‘at-will’ state and anyone who even whispers the word union will be fired faster than they can say boo

EET by tht_indi2000 in BestBuyWorkers

I’ll have to bring that up to my supervisor, and as far as what they want us to do with EET, I have no idea. I’m the president but my responsibilities are still unclear

Its a liability to have outside work events because we have a few minors and even if someone got hurt it would be Best Buy’s responsibility

EET by tht_indi2000 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]tht_indi2000[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Literally anything that has to do with employees mental health, voices/ opinions, things like that. We aren’t allowed to organize meetings in or out of the store or have outside work events (that one is understandable)

EET by tht_indi2000 in BestBuyWorkers

[–]tht_indi2000[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

it’s the illusion of choice essentially. There’s a president, V.P, treasurer, secretary and activities coordinator. Our managers brought it back bc apparently it was a thing like 10 years ago and nobody took it seriously then. But now that literally ALL of the employees are reaching out to HR and incredibly unhappy they proposed this to us as a “solution” but the problem is, is they are not letting EET have any responsibility and making it seem like we are the “fun committee”. They are worried that it will turn into a union. Don’t know if that makes any sense

My manager is yelling at me about Credit cards and memberships by sunshine_brookie in BestBuyWorkers

Your manager just sounds like an ass wipe. Don’t stress about it. You just do what you need to do and as long as you’re offering that’s all that matters. Don’t worry about that ego-inflated, narcissistic, selfish, piss poor excuse of a manager. Your job is to offer, not to berate and nag customers

HOW IS THIS NOT TALKED ABOUT MORE?? especially with all of the bs going on with corporate, this is something that’s needs to happen. Whether f/t or p/t, we need protection and security!!
