Month: July 2022

I swear every time I come into work there’s something else broken. I sometimes wonder how this hospital is still standing. The roof leaks, the automatic doors in our department are always broken, the machine that dispenses our scrubs hasn’t worked right since they installed it. With how poorly we’re paid around here and how much they take in screwing over the patients, you’d think there’d be plenty of money to fix the equipment around here. I guess it’s just lining some asshole exec’s pockets.

Background: I'm a full time stay at home parent. I do all the food prep, planning, cooking, cleaning, laundry, childcare for my baby. And I'm happy to do it. I planned for this and it's important to me. A few months ago someone, Jeff, reached out to me. He said he has some remote computer work he needed done, and if I was available. A friend of a friend recommended me to him. I told him I wasn't looking for more work. I was already a SAHP. But I could work for a few hours a week if the pay was right. We agreed to a payment and schedule I was comfortable with. We have been working together fine for the past few months. I invested myself into the company. But now, they just said they would have to decrease my income by 40%. They reminded me they just opened…

Hello fellow system smashers, I am an employer, commence the throwing of vegetables. I'm new to this game, so I was wondering if you could quiz me to see where I am failing my employees. TIA

My mom works for a big hospital group and has to use five pto days before she's allowed to use sick days. She got covid last month and had to burn through most of her remaining vacation and now we can't do a family trip for her 60th birthday in September. How is this even legal?
