The other day, I must have slept funny, because since then, my neck has been hurting… doesn’t help that I have to run around in the restaurant, carrying heavy trays. Anyone have any good tricks to relieve neck and shoulder pain?

It's funny, I'm dealing with the exact same thing. I've been trying to do a lot of neck rolls and stretching. I've also been icing it, but if it doesn't get any better soon I'm going to have to see a physical therapist.

I deal with a lot of pain in my neck and upper shoulders because of my terrible posture. I use a heating pad for 10 minutes and then either give myself a massage or do myofascial release with a tennis ball. I'll repeat that a few times throughout the day and it really does help.

I use a foam roller and lacrosse ball for stretching/rolling after my shifts. It helps so much. The lacrosse ball freaking hurts, but it's super effective in loosening up knots. I've got a theragun too, but that's kind of hard to use on your upper body, so I pretty much only use it on my legs.

I am so sorry, I hate neck pain because it's the worst! Have you been to a Chiropactor? I usually go to one 20 times a year since it is usually part of my insurance benefits. This helps me a lot on neck and back pain.

This happens to me all the time. Usually after a few days it resolves but I have to take Tylenol in the mean time. If not, I end up going to the chiropractor.

Hello all, my first post. Anyone else feel like their general manager won't promote them because they're afraid you'll make them look bad. Like they don't do their job well enough so you'll outshine them? Do you stay? Leave? Try to build the relationship? It's been a year. @Aimbridgehospitalityllc

I am on a stress leave. Every time I look at emails from work, the less encouraged I am to return. It is so overwhelming! I want to finish out the year, but will definitely not be making it back next year. So many things have changed, and next year there will be all kinds of change and turmoil. I am sad to be leaving on such a low note. I always envisioned retiring at the top of my game, having a party...etc...

Just discovered a public slack channel (that very much should have been private) that a few women at my work have been using to bitch about the co-workers they don’t like. There’s a lot of very mean posts about several of the CDs, account people, producers etc. There’s quite a few hateful posts about me and my partner too 🙈 should I tell them?
