Month: May 2023

LSS, the company I work for offers a “generous” 14 week paid leave for employees working at least one year. I’ve been working at the company for two years, and upon filing for my leave which I’ll be taking next month, find out I may not be eligible because apparently I’m still considered a “seasonal” employee, even though three months ago I was given a policy that indicated leave would be paid for by the company if it wasn’t provided by my state (it’s not.) I’ve been told they will try to work with me since the company is based in New Jersey, so I may be considered a NJ employee where leave is paid for by state, but I don’t have high hopes and an already seeing where this is going to go.

An ancient Egyptian ushbati had an inscription reading, “If there is any work in the afterlife, you must do it. Behold me whenever you are called. Be watchful at any moment to work there. Plough my fields, carry water and sand to the east and west. Behold me whenever you are called.” So even death isn't a reason to not show up to work?

Hey all I was just fired from my workplace today for misuse of company time. What I would did that was bad supposedly was the last half hour of my shift is for cleanup and shutdown and I can get my cleanup and shutdown done in 5-10 mins since I work in a small area and they let me go for sitting down and waiting to leave instead of cleaning which I also did I just did fast. I tried the EEOC but they have no apointments open at all so I dont really know what to do, Im trying to fight it but I dont know how well its gonna go
