Boss at work isnt treating us nicely?

Yes, working can be difficult. Working can be unfair.

Your friends are wrong about calling the Labor Board to complain about wages. The Labor Board does a lot to help employees but they will not open a case because your store pays less than the other stores. As long as it's at least minimum wage - individual stores can make their own wage scale.

As far as any Thanksgiving funds - the Labor Board isn't going to do anything about that either.

And there is no law or Board to complain to about other employee's "appreciating" anything.

And it's not up to your employer to assure that you don't work too hard so you can have a social life.

That's life in the big city - as they say.

The store sounds like it has bad management and is poorly run. And there is little you can do about that either. Except - if they have a management turnover - wait for a decent manager.

Or possibly file a complaint with the HR Department of the corporation. You don't say what store this is - so it's hard to say. Is it a franchise? Is it a branch of a corporation? So it's hard to say where and who to look for - or if they even have an HR Department that covers all the stores. You would need to find that out.

Or find another job. Or deal with it.

Sorry - but that is the way it is. Life is like that. Sometimes you are the windshield. Sometimes you are the bug.
