Month: April 2022

I have a sister who works at a local small business. We think the employer has been changing her tickets after the customer has paid and refuses to pay my sister the difference. This information is in the company software. Today my sister confronted her employer through text about it. The employer said she overcharged them [mind u the changing and blaming of the ticket happens frequently]. Anyways, my sister texted back, something along the lines of : okay I might have to contact the board of labor. The employers next text was pick up your things and your fired. What recourse do we have here? This is fl btw

Employed for 7 years in the same company, I finally decided to move on. Main reason: the toxic behaviour of my boss. Yesterday, to a new employee she said: “I am the brain here and the one that pays the salary.” “If you see I have the headphones on, means I don't want to be disturbed”. “Please correct the text in our language, otherwise the client will know it was written from a foreigner.” It will be the biggest decision of my life as I am gonna be a parent soon. Luckily I have another contract already (I am not stupid) in a company that apparently treats us better. The tasks I will have are no on the same level but maybe my head and my health can “breath” a bit. Am I making the right choice?

Before I start, I just want to say that I know the way I was treated is illegal where I live. But unfortunately as an immigrant there are not many ways I can challenge this that actually benefit me and don't cause me unreasonable stress during an already vulnerable time in my life. Just using this here to rant about it. So I'm an art teacher at some private schools in southern Germany. I'm also a trans woman. In the past few months I have been transitioning and have been basically out with everyone except for the schools I work at. Because I didn’t know how they would react, I came out first to my private students (which are a variety of ages) to see what would happen. Nobody had an issue with it, I get to be myself at work, yay. The issue came when I wrote the school…

The whole idea of working and peopling makes my anxious ass to have a diarrhea. I've been gathering information from people near me such as my cousin and its horrify me to deal with people, and i feel invalidated by everyone saying “how can you say you don't want to work you never been to any work before” should i really immerse myself to that idea just to make them shut up?
