[Rant] Another One Bites The Dust

For context I struggle with anxiety, depression, undiagnosed autism, and some other health concerns I'll likely never get diagnosed. This time, I tried being a Leasing Agent. Only 20hrs a week at $14/hr with zero benefits. Dealing with some of the residents [and potential future residents] straight up makes me want to die. Some people are straight up fucking stupid. Like the guy who sprayed my coworker and I with a f9re extinguisher. That felt real nice in all the little cuts on my hands, and in my lungs. Or the woman whose porch was literally wall-to-wall covered in jurassic sized dog shit, and piss. Or the other handful of people screaming in my ear over the phone. Which triggers a very specific kind of PTSD where I would rather McDie than be trapped on the phone, unable to defend myself. For the math, I make about $1,600/month. Bills knock…

If my boss gives me any B.S. today…

I’m going fucking off on her. And repeat to her what she last said to me. Ohhhh… it’s been a “tough Black Friday so far? Awhhh, really?! Noooo. Well, after all… we all have shit going on, don’t we?” Stupid fucking bitch. Not sorry for your ass. Fuck off and leave me alone. Lol I know I sound so irrational, but I am NOT dealing with her shit today. The last time she spoke to me, and then yelled at me over a family emergency in which I obviously had zero control over…? Yeah. I’m not catering to her nor doing her any fucking extra favors or offering help. Rude bitch is on her fuckin own. 🙂

While searching for a job, I find this jewel. The lowest paying job I have ever seen posted on the Internet, ever.

Why does this sound like a made up problem that doesn’t actually exist?

Supposedly people are remote working from “tropical paradises”, and costing companies money? Why are they trying to frame it at all like that when it really just comes down to “we don't like people working from home”. Who is at a vacation spot and working on projects for their job? Edit: Wasn't the original story on this that someone thought a zoom background was an employee actually at a beach and not at home? Because they didn't know zoom let you pick backgrounds? https://fortune.com/2022/11/21/stealth-workers-digital-nomads-lying-about-remote-work/

I became a health and safety rep and wanted to walk out the door the day after.

In my country we have health and safety representatives for workers on the floor, who are also workers on the floor. They listen to their coworkers and report any concerns and suggestions related to health and safety. We are trained in the law and have certain powers to stop workers if nessesary. My business is in the middle of a transition. We used to not really care about health and safety too much. The company that brought us does because they legally have to. Our part of the buisness is very small but definitely still neglected. Ie a guys still recovering from being crushed a month or 2 ago. I took the course Thursday and on Friday my new boss, who is the national operations manager (so she's a bit busy), asked how my course went. I enjoyed it, laws interested me etc. I blanked on specifics so I said…

Husband’s company is covering up lay offs as underperforming employees with impossible to meet performance improvement plans. He was let go about two weeks ago and HR still hasn’t set the paperwork.

Genuinely dont know where to go from here. They refused to put most of this in writing. His manager saw he was going to meet the metrics of this insane PIP and he said “don't waste your energy where it's not productive.” which we took to mean you're getting fired no matter what, so start applying elsewhere. This has happened to 8 people that we know of this month. HR Called him into a meeting on Tuesday the 18th and said sorry youre out, you'll get two weeks severance and paid out for 5 PTO days. We'll send the paperwork for you to review… except.. they didn't. Apparently HR has “an open ticket and will reach out soon” but radio silence. We've called them and they wont help. Lives and FT wfh in CT. Anyone have any advice? Is this legal? Can we complain to NLRB?

my boss completely ignored my doctors note

last tuesday (14th) i admitted myself into a psychiatric care facility and stayed there for a week, i did indeed tell my boss that i would be out for a week. i get out the following tuesday and i get a call from her asking why i’m not at work, i told her i got out tuesday and was not coming in and i have a doctors note stating i will be returning to work on saturday (26th). she chose to ignore my doctors note and had me come in the following day on wednesday and as of right now she’s still ignoring it. it was extremely overwhelming as the day before thanksgiving and everyone was doing their last minute shopping. i also have a follow up appointment that she was not willing to let me go to because it would be in the middle of my shift. so today…
