Just learned involuntary committal for psychosis is on a background check. They don’t give you disability by default for that. Now my Bachelor’s may be for nothing.

Employers are technically not allowed to discriminate on those grounds, but they can always say some bullshit corporatespeak like “we found another candidate more suitable for the position” and there's no way you can prove them wrong.

Worked with the manager 2nd day in and she randomly told us that it was illegal for us to discuss our wages with each other. We informed her that we are protected, she was adamant we were wrong.

server here in WA, was waiting on a table and overheard an older white man

talking about how the UK gives women up to 6 months of maternity leave, and that “that is a long time to not be working” um excuse? giving birth and raising the baby is work??? he also said that their “culture is more generous.” I hate capitalism and how it has rotted peoples brains.

Just sharing. Bosses needs to be nice too: “Masters, give unto your servants that which is just and equal; knowing that ye also have a Master in heaven. Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.”
