I’m a little confused here, as I thought that was illegal? Anyways, here’s how the story goes. Since I started the job a while back at this grocery store, they’d let us get free bottles of water from the damaged bottled water packages that came in that they couldn’t sell. Suddenly, the store managers and corporate got a giant stick up their ass about it, and last shift I went up to grab my water, working hard and working up a sweat, and was told no. When I asked why and when that became a new thing, I was told – quite angrily and with a very unnecessary amount of attitude – that the store manager no longer wants us to be able to have the water. If we want water, we have to buy it. There is no water bubbler, no drinking fountain. There are hand-washing stations, but they’re…

Alright I'm not entirely sure whether or not this fits here but this is a fun little predicament I found myself in. So for insight, I work a 100% commission job that I just started about 3 weeks ago. I'm only really there cus the Indeed posting was misleading; regardless, I thought I'd stay and make some money before I quit. The “office culture” has a hamfisted message about showing up every day for the grind (which is 9-hour days, 5.5 days a week, and knocking on doors for 5-6 hours straight) even through tough circumstances, because “what you put in is what you get out”. To the point they've fired people who were absent for just a day or two, people who need time off to work on things like their abusive relationship, and even people who just have other things to do with their life that have a…

Hello reddit, if this is the wrong sub, please redirect me, that would be best. I live in Austin TX. I have an Arkansas ID because I moved roughly 7 months ago. The next available appointment for a TXDL is in February 2023. ​ I applied for a job, and was told that I need to send in my DL number and my DOB for a driving record scan. Cool, fine. My license is from AR, and they said : Due to your driver’s license being an out of State license, you will need to contact the Department of Public Safety in Arkansas for a driver’s license clearance.  When you receive the information please forward it to me. ​ But one, Im not really sure where to contact them, two, there are multiple types of release forms (I sent a follow up email to see which one) and three, they…

I have a severe anxiety disorder and I do not know how to make an income that I can survive or thrive on, even without having kids. I never went to college because I have anxiety about debt, and I have yet to find a career I would want that requires a college education. Becoming a doctor? Out of the question, I do not want to have PTSD from witnessing the death of a patient. Becoming a teacher? I have anxiety public speaking and anxiety on school shootings and I’m not great with kids. Becoming an engineer? I’m afraid I’d be harassed or looked down upon for being a woman or somehow hurt on the job. Trade school? Most trades are also geared towards men except for hair or cosmetology, which I would suck at. Since I’ve turned seventeen I’ve been mainly working full time at fast food restaurants and…

I am 57 years old. I have been a nurse (LPN) for over 20 years. It would seem like it would be easy for me to find a job right? Not when you are 57 and body is broken from years of taking care of people ( and yes bad eating habits, ain't gonna lie). But what pisses me off are the job ads. “We are like a family”. Well my family is dysfunctional as hell so, no. “You: Compassionate, always smiling, always professional, support our Mission”. List of 20 job duties followed by “* other duties as directed”. I feel I have a good work ethic and when it comes to patient care, they all deserve good care regardless of management. BUT……at this point in my life I don't give a rat's a$$ about your “mission”. What you want is a robot who will have a permanent smile, no…

Momma, rest her soul, was a tough wise woman. raised three kids alone, put two through collage, owned several house free and clear when she died. I was raised to: – Give them an honest hours work for an hours pay. – Give them no work without being paid. – Put the job last in your priorities. – Go in every day prepared to quit if they even look at you sideways. I've done that last thing several times when I've been pushed. They ALWAYS back down. Full Disclosure: I have no kids, a low monthly nut, and there's always tons of work in my field. So I can have this attitude easier than most. If you have mouths to feed or health conditions or whatever and you can't be this independent I never judge. And I'm pulling for you if that counts for anything.
