Employees Complain Money Unhappy Work Boss Amount Dealing

Employees in the United States often complain about work and things that make them unhappy in the "workplace" (the place where one works). One of the most common complaints in "favoritism," or the idea that employees are not being treated fairly, with the boss treating one person better or more nicely than other employees.

Many employees also complain that they are overworked and underpaid. They think that their "workload" (the amount of work that one has to do) is too heavy, especially if the company is trying to save money by having fewer employees. Many employees also complain that they should be paid more for the work that they do. They think that they "deserve" (should have) a "raise" (an increase in the amount of money that one is paid), but their employers either don't agree or don't have enough money to give them raises. Often complaints about "salary" (the amount of money that one is paid in a year) and "benefits" (things other than money that employees receive from their employers, like health insurance or free parking) "stem from" (are based on) differences in the salaries of new and old employees, or the difference in salaries between management and workers.

Other people complain about the workplace itself. Employees might complain that a workplace is "unhygienic" (unclean; unsanitary) or unsafe, or they might complain that they don't have the tools and equipment that they need to do their job well.

Finally, many employees complain about their boss's "managerial style" (the way that a person works with the people who report to him or her). They might complain that their boss "micro-manages" them, trying to control small, unimportant details. Or they might complain that their boss doesn't communicate well or never has time to meet with them.
