Are you being treated unfairly at work?

Unfair treatment at work comes in many forms. Unsure if you are being treated unfairly at work? Here are a few examples:
(1)The corporation, (or company), hires someone for a top level or management position from outside the company, passing over the loyal employee who has worked for the company for years and years. This is especially unfair treatment if the loyal employee has been doing the job the outside person has been hired for, (and even worse if the loyal employee will be expected to train the new person!)
(2)There is a new boss, and suddenly, the entire workplace is experiencing an extreme amount of “job strain”. Job strain happens when a worker is expected to do a large amount of work in too short of time, with little or no control over how, when, and with what tools said work will get done in. If you find that you are unable to obtain the tools you are required to use to get this job done in, that adds to your job strain. Job strain, and the detrimental effects it has on a person’s health is compounded by how long a person has to put up with excessive job strain. This treatment at work is especially unfair if the workers were doing exactly what they were supposed to be doing before the new boss showed up, and arbitrarily changed the rules and job descriptions.
(3)When you were hired, you were granted a certain number of sick days, personal days, and vacation days. As time goes on, you find more and more rules created that prevent you from using the paid time off you have earned. For example, if you are told that no one can take vacation days during “the holidays” and learn that the holidays are defined as the entire months of October, November, December, and January, this is unfair treatment at work. If, at the same time, you notice that certain employees seem to get to take days off whenever they want to, with little notice provided, this is especially unfair treatment at work…

I work at this hospital when a lot of the people get all the holidays off. If u are not in the click u don’t get them off. And if u kiss the boss ass u get a week vacation off. I request to work two holidays and have christmas off and. We do self scheulding and one young lady start early before everyone else. And she is in the click she see the scheulde before any one. The manager when I ask about christmas she said they said u want every holiday off. I said who is they she would not tell me, I told her I have kids that’s small she didn’t care. Then I requested a week vacation for New Year it was disapproved. I ask why she said it have not been posted on the board yet. Then when I was off friday it was posted and who did she give it to the one that has been kiss the boss ass. By the way they gave her christmas week off plus the weekend plus New Years day off as well. Please who ever is out there what do I suppose to do about this situation. Who do I talk to? To me this is very unfair.
In my partners contract it states that he will work up to 40 hours per week, along with this he has a verbal agreement with his boss saying that she will not drop his hours under 40 a week. She did however reduce his hours a few weeks ago down to 37 a week and has now gone even further and again reduced his hours, down to no more than 34 a week. Along with their verbal agreement, in his contract it states that “The Employee’s hours of work may be varied as follows: By mutual agreement between the Employee and the Employer”. On both occassions his boss has failed to negotiate any hour reductions and has simply presented him with a new roster. Is there anything we can do to get his hours back up to 40 per week?
i worked for the company for 7 years. been giving a senior position after 3 years. it all sound good, but in fact no one have to listen or obey any of my orders. a year later a new graduate joined as a junior. may be her face fits the manager, after only months she was promoted to a supervisor. she can totally ignore my command, sometimes she even mentioned to the manager so i get told off fr bossiing her.
she got married so left the company, buut a new replacement. after 6 months she’s above me. most annoying part. she can’t do the jobs that only i can. again may be her face fits the managers eye.
