Without my permission or knowledge , my employer (huge hospital system) recently set up a Google Business account using my name and professional credentials as the business name and they won’t give me access to it. In other words, they won’t allow my access to my own professional name. Unfortunately, since it is such a new account, the only review currently is a misleading review from a patient that I never even saw. The pt gave me one star and the review said he was unhappy because his appt had been cancelled. The appt ended up being cancelled because I was sick and had to take the day off. He refused to be rescheduled and so the patient who left the review never even saw me. I requested access to the Google Business account so I could address the negative review attached to my name and was denied. Now when…

Seriously, check the rules of the subreddit. Shilling for employers and landlords is a Rule 7 violation. Report that shit.

“The need is to employ, not to meet demand because of the levels of surplus and abundance that has been created, relatively speaking of course.” Just an excerpt from the new episode of Revolution Now podcast with Peter Joseph (which I definitely recommend to anyone wanting to better understand how things can be so messed up right now. Addresses plenty of relational matters never discussed in mainstream talks.)

I was hired as a receptionist at a business that specializes in children’s activities about 2 months ago. The interview was great. The department head and the direct supervisor emphasized how much this company values work life balance, and as a company that deals with kids they understand that family comes first. I made sure that they were well aware that I have small children and my availability was limited. They did tell me that they hoped to expand the position to full time “down the road” and asked if I was interested. I said that I would be interested in full time when my kids got older and needed me less but while they were small all I could do was part time. The job was advertised as part time and I was offered 25 hours a week. I’ve been a SAHM for a few years and my kids…

For me, it was when I moved to Colorado in April 2018 for a job with a law-based county government office. That's also saying a lot, since I've worked retail, food, and shitty receptionist gigs. Not going to specify exactly what county it was, but they've had other scandals come out in their ranks. I was pulled aside two weeks into the new job by a coworker on their two week notice who wanted to “let me know what really went down on a daily basis here.” She had been cornered in a stairwell by a group of other girls in the office for rumors that she was “talking shit” about another coworker. Baseless accusations, and they specifically chose the stairwell since there were no cameras. We'd regularly come back to our cubicles with fucked up, passive aggressive notes from other admins. Coworkers took screenshots of comments I made on…

And it just made me feel worse. — I don’t want to die, but I don’t want to live like this either.
