Work are screwing me over!

Hi y'all, first a lilttle preface. I'm a M(23) with ASD (Autism) ADHD, severe anxiety (general and social, I can't leave my house unless someone pushes me) I'm type 1 diabetic (the one that injects 4 times a day) and have been since I was 18 months old (meaning I basically have the immune system of a 2 year old) and I have weak knees, I can't walk without a crutch or other aid. Oh I'm also hard of hearing and oartially deaf in my left ear (wow writing it all out makes it seem like a lot) So, our story today, I have been off work for a week and a bit now, I think it's long term covid after doing some research (doctors are relucant to diagnoise me with anything because of my diabeties) and I told my work this on Monday (7th March) to which they replied…

Personal Mileage

Bit of a question so apologies… UK, been traveling to customers all week using my personal car. I had to get business insurance in order to use it, fair enough. When I submitted my mileage expenses it got knocked back and told I need to change it so it's from the office and not from home (even though that's where I set off). I've been submitting them for years and only now it's a change. The logic being by claiming the journey from home I'm claiming my commute which they don't cover. I get they don't cover the commute but I didn't go the office! Been breaking my back for this place and getting sniped… Anyone know any more details if that's right? Been checking the gov website but it doesn't go in to the particulars so I'm asking you Reddit

I don’t know what to do… help

I don’t know where to write this down, but I think here it’s better because of the majority of people of experience in life. So I’m 21, I’m from a poor country, have a salary of 600$ a month (that’s good in my country). – a little bit of summary of myself The problem – So one day, a guy (let’s say John), calls me and tells me that I can have easy money only today (I had suspicion about what he had told me, but anyway trusted him because it’s bigger and I knew him quite well, but not a friend). He told me to give him my identity card and he will take some laptops out of my name with credit, telling me that he know a guy that can “hack” or something to delete my credit name, and he gives me 50$ for this. Also in that…

Forms, more forms, and even more forms

While im looking for my dream job, if it’s even out there, I’ve come up with a good process. When I click apply and it takes me to another website I always upload my CV. However one thing that really annoys me is when you upload your CV and then it takes you through countless forms detailing your job history and skills and even more dumb shit. How hard is it for someone to read a CV? Fuck, I think they have software that just scans your CV for raw data anyway. It’s not that I’m lazy, I have no issues with writing a cover letter or anything. I just think it’s stupid and a waste of time. If a company can’t even be bothered to read your information properly and want you to break it down, fuck them. Why is it worth my time to apply if they can’t…

Suggesting jobs or volunteer work to someone living on disability is rude and disrespectful

I hate being suggested jobs by family. I Havnt talked to my brother in about a year and one of the first things he does is send me a link to a job. Basically just telling me he won't respect my existence for as long as I'm not working somewhere and not living on disability. The rest of my family quietly judges me too for not working and living on disability but I can feel that and now I just dont even want to be seen by any of them because my way of living doesn't fit their standards. I cut myself out of the picture back in August and I intend to keep it that way. I will never work for a shit eating boss again and I don't exist just to be productive for income. I'm sorry if the fact I'm not miserable while working 60 hours a…

Recruiting company begs me to be their product, and then shows

I was reminded of this this morning and thought I should share. While this was in the before time, it wasn't too long before: I had this one recruiting agency that just could not understand that I was a biology student no mater how many times I told them. I grasp chemistry and can perform it just fine with instructions and an explanation of the reaction but manufacturers who rely on it want someone who have the hundred rules and formulas down by rote (and modern companies don't want to have to explain a damn thing since training was already on the way out back then). I graduated with a degree molecular biology because I get how atoms fit together, but only when there's an instruction set like DNA or a biochemical reaction guiding it! I can't pull that out of my ass to be the instruction set. So after…

On the real though, how many of you vape at work?

I hate my job, I hate the people & I need the cash. My solution is to get super duper baked multiple times a shift. I go to a restroom, vape about three large hits while I piss in a stall and bail. Iv been getting away with it for 7 months now doing three times every shift. My urge to flip the fuck out goes away and I forget that i'm severely underpaid while stoned.
