Month: February 2023

I requested my bday coming up next month back in januaury which is more than enought required time (retail worker) and i don't ask for much. I do my work, i havent been late, havent missed a shift since I was hired, and picked up last minute calls all the time bc someone else called out sick saving their asses and working overtime on my end to the point im burnt out. They booked me friday and saturday, my bday is on saturday, i work night shifts so i sleep my day away for work so like fuck me if I have family plans for my bday???? I don't ask for much like come on. Guess im calling out sick on my bday and turning off my phone.

My biggest bug bear with applying for admin roles in our local Health department is that they want to know a. If I’ve ever had a workers compensation claim (fucken none of their business as far as I can ascertain) and b. they want an itemised list of all my health issues, past operations, medical diagnosies, current medications, mental health assessments and carer responsibilities just “to keep on their files just in case” which to me seems invasive, AND unnecessary. Am I taking crazy pills but I feel like I will be judged according to my health – isn’t that bordering on discriminatory? I guess I won’t be working in health anytime soon because this is NOTHING like applying for admin jobs elsewhere. Sorry about the rant.

This just further justifies why I move jobs every few years. I am working for a big bank that is based near the Hudson Valley. I was a part of a smaller bank that got acquired and this new bank is just a load of shit filled with bullshit propaganda about the road to 100 Billion. What they don't say is how they short change employees and exploit us for their gain. I abhor late stage Capitalism. Recruiting Budget > Retention Budget

I am sure I am not the first to post about this phenomena. It really makes me want to work less hard, but I guess I just am not capable of coasting. I am, however, capable of taking a 15-20 minute bathroom break during my shift. Closest I can conscientiously get.
