I wanted to earn as much money as possible during summer because I need to buy a new PC for university but after the first week where I was in training and I got one 12h shift on Saturday and right now I don't even know what I'm supposed to do now. I've called to ask for some kind of schedule or something and they told me that I should not worry because they will find work for me, but it's already 2 days after I called and no one is telling me anything.

So as the title says, I had a call with a recruiter on Monday evening, she works for that bank but told me that she acts as their recruiter. We talked for an hour and she said she would schedule an interview with the team I applied for very soon. Its been two days, and I am starting to get the feeling that she will never actually schedule that meeting… how long should I wait to follow up? Just FYI, I had the impression she would do it after we hung up, immediately.
Hi! I’m a speech therapist in a school (so we follow teacher’s requirements/schedules). I started this job in February and haven’t taken any days off yet. This upcoming school year, I have two weddings in September and October that fall the day before a long weekend (one of which I’m a bridesmaid). At my school, they have made it clear that there is ONLY sick days (12 accrued throughout the year with a summer program) and they are to be used for illnesses and doctor visits. Looking for advice if I should be honest and risk going unpaid, or risk calling out the day of (probably will look bad and they may ask for a doctors note). Also thinking of saying I have a doctor’s appointment for at least one of the days so I don’t have two unpaid days!! I don’t call out often in general, but since I…
“While the group supported another bill that would increase sick leave to five days, it argued that expanding it to seven days would be “something that really not all businesses can afford to do.” Someone from Europe recently asked here how Americans ended up in the current situation with no worker rights and no protections. That's how. Big capital at work, paying lobbyists to not allow workers to get well and forcing them to work being sick. And that's California for you, the most progressive state. What europeans should realise is that american progressives are further right than european conservatives when it comes to worker rights. https://calmatters.org/newsletters/whatmatters/2023/07/california-legislature-bills-deadline/

Wondering what the point is anymore.
I think I have Covid (based on symptoms but test was negative). Taking sick leave makes me feel so awful emotionally that I’d rather over exert myself and go to work sick most of the time.
Basically my way of working is faster and more efficient than what that creature had been doing for years. It didn't like that. It prefers to be “seen as working” even though nothing is actually done at the moment. It even reported me to a supervisor saying I'm not doing my job. I showed the supervisor that all my work was already done properly, and now I'm sitting at my desk watching for e-mails and answering phone calls, waiting for the next batch of customer mails. Supervisor told it that I'm fine. It hated me even more. There has to be one verbal abuse coming from that thing everyday, but I've been enduring it because the pay is decent, and I'm actually capable of doing my job. Turns out I'm not the only one who hated that thing. The guy who did my job before I worked here told me…
Dear [Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to formally submit my resignation from my position at [Company Name], effective [Last Working Day]. It has been an interesting and enlightening experience working here for the past two and a half years. However, recent events and changes within the company have led me to reevaluate my career path and seek new opportunities elsewhere. During my time at [Name], I have witnessed both the highs and lows of our operations. I joined as a mounter and balancer and was later promoted to the role of a painter, which I embraced with enthusiasm and dedication. I took pride in my work and strived to contribute positively to the success of our team. Regrettably, over the past few months, I have observed a noticeable decline in the workplace atmosphere and management practices. I understand that every business faces challenges, but…

I am beyond fed up
I’ve frequented this sub quite a lot but never posted on here . I am self employed and have been working for the company I am at for 2 years . I had never intended to be self employed but as I was undertaking a course for my dream profession ( which I am nearing the end of ). The shit that I’ve put up with during my time here . Calling in sick before my shift and one of my so-called managers doing very little to find cover for my shift or get back to me until 20 minutes before to ask if I was okay to come in . I wasn’t but did anyway . I have epilepsy and was going through health issues last year which resulted in me having to cancel one of my work days . Rather than text to check in with me and…

Walking toward a death trap
I’m working hard to get my degree and become a teacher. I know how this country treats teachers but I can’t help but feel like everything will be better once I graduate. I want to make a difference for these kids as much as I can and I want a consistent job. Yet I know teachers are so overworked and underpaid. If you have any hopeful words/encouragement or you just want to lament about your experience teaching, feel free to drop that in the comments.
