Hello all, Well I'm in the interview process for a company in my state, located in my city. I had my first remote interview, which went well, and was contacted by HR via email afterward that the company would like to follow up my interview with a skills test; the problem is, the skills test would be in person at the HR office over an hour away (2+ hours round-trip) and I'm not even sure how long it takes. I'm not too keen on traveling over 100 miles out of my own pocket when the job description never mentioned this, the position is advertised as being located in my city, and I haven't even received an offer yet. I simply do not want to waste potentially three hours out of my day just to potentially receive a rejection when I have another interview that same day. It's legal, sure, but…

So I have epilepsy and from time to time have brutal seizures. Last night was no exception in fact last night was probably one of my scariest. My brother walked into my room he said I was on my back with throw up covering my mouth and nose to where it looked like I couldn’t breath. He said he could see my face change color and hear me trying to gasp for air. Thank god he was there and was able to save me. I ended up chewing my tongue and mouth up pretty bad making talking and eating a real pain but I thought I’d recover fast and be able to make my shift today. I woke up in more pain than I was in the previous day so I ended up texting my boss that I wasn’t going to be able to make it due to that. To…

At the store where I used to work, the managers would bend over backwards to accommodate anyone who screamed and yelled at us. They'd be showering them with free stuff and writing us up and yelling at us even if we just made an honest mistake. The truth is, being a Karen works very well. Managers are so afraid of losing business that the mental well-being of employees means nothing to them. Unless this changes and they can learn to say “fuck you,” it'll continue to be a problem.

I put in my two weeks because I got an offer for a better paying job that is closer to home new flagship work phone so I don’t need to use my personal phone for work anymore, gas card, new laptop( all provided and paid for by the company), remote options… basically everything my job has not shown willingness to be until now. The owner and my manager are going back and forth about what it would take for me to stay. I told them I can’t I’ve done everything with the new company and they’re ready and waiting for me with my computer phone and gas card. As I sit while they hash it out I’m wondering where they think they’re going to get the money to keep me here if it hasn’t been here and given this entire time. It’s insane how there were no resources to pay…
