Im given 3 sick days a year and used my last one today because of issues with my lungs but I'm worried that they might fire me because I called in. Any advice will help me.

I recently learned that someone I used to work with who has been there for an very, very long time is in the crosshairs to be “forced” into retirement within the next year. He getting primed to be the fall guy for a bunch of fuck ups that is / was a result of many, many other people dropping the ball along the way as well as larger systemic issues. Maybe he had some responsibility in it but in no way is it entirely his fault – thus no grounds for firing I guess. Forgive my ignorance. I've never held a management position before and I have a hard time really understanding how someone goes about doing this? I don't mean morally (although I find it sickening I am fully aware there are people with a sociopathic streak who don't care) but rather logistically…?

So uh i guess i got fired but i don’t really give a fuck. I work with top executives for a major retail company. I have a good salary and ALOT of say on what goes on in the company. But apparently not enough.Ive advocated to give regular store associates $2 raises but this company absolutely refuses to do it. I know they can afford it but the CEO is so god damn greedy. We’ve had a record high of people quitting this year mostly because nobody wants to work these bullshit jobs during a pandemic. The CEO called in a meeting today to discuss why this is happening. He was genuinely confused. Each of us had to do a presentation on possible solutions for this “issue”. Each exec knew it was about the pay but were too scared to mention it. Little did they know that i have a…

I feel this is a big win for me. I am a cashier and have been having a lot of trouble, especially the second half of my shifts. Well, my doctor signed off on the papers for me (which I was very nervous he wasn't going to do) and I get to use it when I need it. I feel bad a little bit because some days are better than others and I don't need it as much and feel like I should be using it if it's there. I am severely obese, which I am working on with a dietitian and now physical therapy, and I just feel so great about this I had to share it with someone.

Paid not laid. Sorry long night. Please ignore the spelling errors.

So, my dad has been really getting on me about jobs. I got a job at Lowe's as a cashier just as a filler until I can get something better but he's still pushing. I want to wait and figure stuff out first but he's worried because 1. He is the co-signer on my student loans and 2. Once I reach 26 I won't be on his insurance anymore. I'm 24 and turning 25 this year. I personally want to go back to school and get a different degree. I want him to calm the heck down and let me breathe a little bit. I am currently living with my mom and I only have one bill to pay plus the rest of my student loans which might start in May. But I feel like the way the world is right now, I am like a lot of others my…

Hey guys. I was originally gonna make this post on an alt account but I figured if I exposed my personal self even if my past (YouTube gaming videos) is cringe it would at least bring some legitimacy to the issue I’m facing. I’ve always lived with my mom, she’s always been an extremely strong woman and has always done what’s best for her children. I admire her so much for that, but unfortunately we’ve really been struggling hard lately. She got a job recently that has a 6 month “probationary period” where she makes so much less than she’s worth. I’m gonna be straight up and ask you guys honestly now, I’ve seen a lot of you be amazing and help out people on this sub financially. Those posts don’t get a lot of attention but I’ve seen life changing people help out others when they were struggling here.…

For several months, I used to work graveyard shift at HD restocking goods…Got to know the 'seasoned employees' and different managers and we naturally developed rapport. Seasoned employee 'Ralph' has been working for HD for 3 years. Ralphs shift is from 10pm-2am and Ralph is familiar with the overnight crew and various managers. He has a carefree, selfish and oblivious habit of breaking down a palette, opening the package(s), restocking the goods and simply discarding all his trash up and down the isle, intentionally leaving it for the crew that works 10am-6am to clean it up instead of doing it himself–he did this every shift. After several months of making min wage, I was fed up having to clean up after Ralph. I tried to think of a neutral and non-confrontational way of discussing this situation with Ralph but I felt my tenure of several months made it impossible to…
