A lot of USA Ground Transporation companies outsource their work to Balkan countries because we are cheap workforce (Serbia in this case). Here they offer a full-time 3rd shift (Serbian 3rd shift is usually afternoon in the USA – depends on the time zone), hourly pay from $5-7 and vacation as a benefit? https://preview.redd.it/5bwj7lpb2a2b1.png?width=1158&format=png&auto=webp&v=enabled&s=64d7a55f2ef13b188f4da62336af0075b1ea1c20
I’ve long contemplated the morals behind universal healthcare, and always leaned more to the side of “why is it my responsibility to pay for your healthcare”. When in reality it wasn’t me who was responsible for paying for less well-off people’s healthcare. It was the people who earn way more than their fair share of our minimal resources. I wouldn’t be giving anything up. The people above me and above them would. When in reality being given access and equal footing with the finite number of healthcare providers is just saying “I’ll give you just enough so you won’t suffer illnesses and injury too bad, but literally no more”. It’s really not even saying more than we deserve. It’s not like we’ll all start going to the hospital for weeks on end, but just use what we need when we need it. And then there’s the argument that quality of…
Let me preface this by letting you know I'm the closing manager at a huge liquor store. So the general manager(GM) was sitting upstairs in the office (and had been for almost an hour at that point) and we had a line out the ass, multiple carry outs with people with cases of liquor, and people didn't have anywhere to park, and car alarms were going off. Then a lady that has a HUGE order comes in and gets two hand trucks full so my cashier calls for GM. He pokes his head out the door and yells back “don't bother me for 45 minutes I'm busy”. Then after like ten minutes he came down and I called him to carry out a case of alcohol for someone else that requested it and he did it. Then when we finally died down he pulled the same cashier to the side…
Of course once again I'd be put into a crappy place. The only place that would hire me is a nursing home, as housekeeping/laundry. I've already gotten physically sick at work a handful of times, once puking at work and had to leave early. The ammount of times I come home sick and with a headache because the place is too hot is ridiculous. I tried to see if maybe they could at least get a fan in the break room. Nope. I was told to just drink more water and have a wet washcloth on my neck. Which I can't do while cleaning. Yes, I told my supervisor I was getting nauseous. She said she couldn't do anything. I am not looking forward to when it starts to get really hot because I have a feeling I'm going to end up getting so sick I need medical attention. I…
I think about this because I've seen people post about how their relief shift never showed and they couldn't work a double. I personally know someone who had to leave their shift before someone else arrived and they left a gas station unattended and obviously stuff got stolen. Legally can they charge you for it. Has anyone ever actually done it. I know personally I'm not covering for someone not being there.
Not sure if this is the correct spot to be posting this. If not mods please remove.
I was at the local library applying for jobs, when there was a completely unrelated incident at a nearby gas station of someone stealing a few items and pushing the employee (manager?) out of the way and escaping. This person is a much larger female than myself with a different hairstyle, complexion and everything. It spread around that this person got away and the cops were looking for the thief. My Ex-boss took this opportunity to his advantage to get back to me for reporting him (and being transphobic about my daughter which he fired me indirectly for) and decided to call the police claiming that he saw the “criminal” run into the local library and pointed me out to them. How do I know it was my ex-boss? Because he send me an Email through a fake Gmail address hours later, mocking me and calling me the same hateful…
I work at a grocery store. Is it appropriate for a couple who works together to be alone in an office upstairs where there is: 1. No camera. 2. The store manager isn't working that day. 3. The Front End manager is on their lunch. So, this couple spent about 10 minutes in the office, with no cameras and no management around. They were unsupervised. Who knows what they were doing.
So back in January I got pulled over omw home from work for driving a shitty car in a nice town at 3:30am. He said it was because I was floating between the lines which whatever. I had unpaid court costs I thought I had paid in full but didn't so I had a suspension on my license I didn't know about. So now I got another suspension with hefty reinstatement fees and I diversion program to get my license back. My work was 30mins away from where I live and being a 3rd shift manager I don't get off until between 3-5am. I have a son so there was no way I could swing paying 35-65 for an uber home every single night. They got me a spot working at the store 5 mins from my house temporarily while I worked on getting my license back. 3 weeks later…
I decided I need to leave the toxic work environment I’m in however I’m extremely anxious about how my boss will react. He’s a passive bully and I know he will verbally attack me when I tell him I’m giving notice. How do I approach this ?
