Exactly as the title states. I’ve been told I’m being laid off but have been asked to lay off (give the news) people on my team I will have the support of HR during the discussion, but can’t help to think it feels a little weird both for me AND the person being released

Job Essentially Said F**k You!

I work at a law firm doing Personal Injury work. I've been working here for almost 2 years. I was hired with 0 experience so they could train me how they wanted – I make $19 an hour. About a month ago one of the attorneys pulled me in and said almost word for word “we aren't taking away any work from you, you're just going to be getting more” and told me to “wait 6 months and see how it goes” when I asked for more compensation for said more work. I've been applying ever since. Almost 200 jobs at this point and I've either been ghosted or gotten scam jobs. I'm feeling really defeated.

Tried to request off from my job for my mothers 60th Birthday and was denied. Now I won’t even bother requesting in advance.

Bit of a rant: my mother turns 60 this year, and her bday falls on a Sunday. It’s about month out from the date and I request off, expecting no issues as it’s one day and I’ve stated the reason for wanting off. I assumed that by going through the proper channels, everything would be fine. I was wrong. I currently work part time as I am a university student. Whenever I’m not in class, I’m working. This has resulted in highly irregular schedules and lots of early and late shifts (days that begin at 6 and end at 10 are not uncommon). In total I usually clock 30 hours a week, and 25 on a slow week. I was told that since it’s a holiday weekend, the schedule couldn’t be changed. I countered that I hadn’t even been scheduled yet, as schedules are only made 3 weeks in advance.…
