Just got a response to a application I sent a year ago

I was applying to a lot of different places last year, before I found my current job, so I only remember vaguely that I sent this application but I know for a fact that I never got a response. They said they're recently looking for people so I assume theyre just really desperate to look through applications from january 2021. Safe to say I will ghost them the same way they did me.

Perks of working from home

I work from home for a recruitment company and I get so tired I end up having naps in the day which sometimes can be for 2 hours, my co-workers have never said anything to me about it and I feel awful sometimes but I get the work done and sometimes probably do more work than most people in the shorter time frame. Is this wrong???

Employer is asking for salary proof to get a raise

I just got a job after being unemployed for 6 months. I wrote in my resume that I’m doing social media management as a freelancer for my families small businesses, which is true. But now they’re asking for supporting documents such as payslip or bank statement which I don’t have because the small businesses are not systematic enough and they just give me physical cash sometimes. Need help.

Company underpaid me while sick, can I demand a check?

Work in a large medical company and have been out for 10 days with covid. I got my check today and saw I wasn’t paid nearly what I normally am. I worked 3 days in the pay period before I left for covid leave. Policy is they take 3 days of PTO and then use sick time for the rest of the time off. I’m looking at the check and all they did was take 12 hours of PTO and they paid me for 23 of my worked hours when I was actually there.They didn’t touch my sick time when I had 60 hours of sick time… I was also supposed to receive a $500 bonus for “employee of the month” and that didn’t go through either. Needless to say I have a family to care for and I am short about $1000+. I plan on walking into my bosses…

Schwans OKC promised steady employment to people who they knew they were going to let go a month. They have managers who spend most of their days at home while their drivers are out on route for 10-12 hours, they kept a manager who called a black employee the N word. Stay away from Schwans OKC.

multiple cases of harassment left unchecked

About a month ago I had to quit my job at a place where you can get mexican food but like at a subway. Shortly after employment, one person called me a slur and tried to physically intimidate me. When I reported it, I was told there had to be documentation done, but never received anything to sign. Another person literally laughed in my face after causing me a panic attack after cornering me. Again, no documentation was filed. One day, after the first person again harassed another employee, the employee quit. I found out this girl was the 4th to quit due to the harassment. Once I realized how nothing was ever going to be done, I refused to continue my employment. I know money is tight right now, but it wasn't worth my mental and physical health to let myself continue to be harassed. The two guys who…
