Venting: Left toxic department – still see drama

I am an engineer – ~20 years of experience. I was bullied by my colleague which caused me serious health issues – about 2 years back. Manager was unhelpful at that time and escalated the situation. He is a scheming, 2-faced “talker” that relies on my colleague. I found another department that needed my skills and it was not an easy move – had to search for ~2 years. As I was settling into the new position I was put on a project that has my previous manager in a contributor role. Again – he just talks and for some reason he survives and manages without getting any work done. He is creating a lot of drama again in the new projects (managed by my dept.).

$50 to the first person to DM me their venmo name.

I've DM'd people who said they needed money and no on responds back. I don't know if I am shadowbanned or what but I just want to give a little bit of extra money away.

from optimistic, happy, empathetic. To broke, burnt-out, in debt, suffering PTSD. This is what overworking in a pandemic in health does. If it rings true, you are not alone.

All this talk about fair pay and workers rights are great things, sure, but on a grander scale we would be dumb not to recognize the trend that less and less people are needed to labor for the sustenance of our species.

Some day It can likely be fully automated. That’s when we should swap to an RBE, but the attitude towards just about everything need to change on a global scale first.

My boss was complaining to me about my attitude

She said I was doing my job but not going above and beyond. She said it seemed like I was checked out of the job. Bitch I was never checked in to begin with

Fired Unexpectedly

This has never happened to me, so I guess I’m still in shock. To backtrack, I started working for a company in February through a temp agency. They made it very clear that they were looking to hire on, and said if I did well there was a very good chance I’d be hired on. I did my best to meet the standards they set, and tried to cultivate a reputation as someone who was always looking to learn more and to grow more. Yesterday, out of the clear blue sky, with absolutely no warning, my lady from the temp agency texts me, and says that they (the business) ended my assignment. Just like that, it’s over. I’ve never been fired before, and I think I’m still processing it. But I’m angry too, because they’re allowed to fire me at the drop of a hat, but if I quit with…

Supervisor is forcing a witness statement

I partially witnessed the outcome of a forklift incident but want nothing to do with it. No one was injured and no product was ruined. I was asked to make a statement and refused. Especially since I didn’t actually see the incident, only the outcome. My supervisor responded by saying she was sorry but that I’m required to. Is that true? Or am I aloud to stay out of if? It just doesn’t right to force me to right a stay over something I barely witnessed and at the very least should be REQUIRED to do so
