The executives of Qurate Retail Group (QVC, Zulilly, HSN) received raises up to 18.5% of their base salaries. Employee raises were capped at 3%. Don’t get me started on their bonuses, which only they’re eligible for.

“Just drink some coffee or soda.” -Advice from a therapist to handle work fatigue

I’ve been feeling very tired lately. I’m working two jobs on campus and studying at night. When I told my therapist about how tired I‘ve been feeling lately, he just said “you’ll just have to get used to it because when you graduate you‘ll be working much more than you do now.” Then he recommended that I drink soda or coffee, which are out of the question for me because they give me stomach cramps (I have IBS). Then he said that I may be one of those people who has unusually low stamina, which is BS because I’ve been feeling like this ever since I started working and studying at the same time.

This seems a little absurd to me. Can anybody tell me why this has been rejected from indeed review? The whole story is a little long, please have the patience to read it all. I started working in for this company in April as head pizza chef. I noticed that over the gas oven there was a scraped warning sign, but I payed no attention (maybe there was a problem they fixed). In a routine control in August, a guy (I assume working for the City of Westminster, sorry I'm not very familiar with them but it was official) immediately shut down the kitchen because there was an abnormal amount of carbon monoxide in the air (the kitchen was underground and there was no working extraction). He immediately put another warning on the oven and told me this: he was the one who put the scraped warning the previous December,…
