Got this email from my boss. I’m peon, and technically not in charge of anything MIS. Also, my carefully curated, bullet point list, instruction manual with pictures replies are “too technical”. Enjoy.

Hi {Boss of IT}/{Peon (IT)} Currently data from [MIS 1] writes back into [A Website, misspelled 1] ie timetable, attendance etc, however, we only add behaviour data into [A Website, spelled correctly] and when we move to [MIS 2] we want all the past behaviour data in [MIS 2] as we will be using [MIS 2, misspelled] to record behaviour when we go live and not use [A Website, spelled correctly] for this, they have said that the past data will only go over to [MIS 2] if we can get the data from [A Website, but used only the first two letters of said site] to go into [MIS 1], I am not sure if this can be done, is there a way of you finding out if this can be done. Thanks {Org manager]

50 yes, 6 no

We just had our union vote at work and as the title says it wasn't even close. We marched on the boss about 30 days after we started organizing and had a vote 3 weeks after that. I'm not sure if the company thought it had a chance of winning but judging by the boss's gradually sinking face after each yes vote was added to the pile they must have. Union membership is on the rise comrades. If work does something that pissed everyone off reach out to a local union and strike (no pun intended) while the iron's hot and you may be looking at 50 yes and 6 no.

Going back to the old ways

It feels like just for the average person in the world to survive we are going to have to go back to the old ways.. whole family’s living in big houses and building parts to extend the houses, big bulk food for we all can have lots of left overs, we as humans need to alll create our own gardens, learn how to fix our own cars, but meat from the local butcher only.. learn to eat all of the meat from animals even the parts we do not care for(stew) build stronger communities, learn to make fires and first aid. The world is too much make it on your own and just let everyone else do everything and just buy it… tbh I know this is impossible for big cities and others… especially people without families…

Williams-Sonoma Fired Me Because My Internet Was ‘Too Slow ‘ & Now They’re Telling Unemployment I Quit For Personal Reasons

Basically what the title says. I'm livid that these pieces of shit lied after I quit my job & spent 800 bucks on a desk & computer so I can work from home for them. After 4 hours of training they started testing everyone's equipment for the requirements & my internet speeds came in too slow despite me testing it daily prior to the start date. They pulled me out of virtual training to tell me that I basically came in without the proper materials & they were dismissing me without any chance to fix the situation. After 2 months of unemployment filing I find out during the phone call interview to verify my claims that they lied & said I quit for 'personal reasons'. I'm out for blood & will appeal if I get denied, I just feel so tired & defeated by all these awful companies. TL;DR Williams-Sonoma…

Bosses Jeopardizing me

I work in a company where my supervisor (let's call him Peter) is not my lead. They lend me as a resource to another lead, let's call him Jack. Jack does not belong to the field and was promoted just because he loves warming his chair. He is a narcisst egoistic racist person. He threatened me multiple times. Doesn't follow safety procedures as per standards and he is super reckless and promotes favourism. He even tried to forbid me from eating my salad on my desk. I went to my supervisor Peter after being bullied so much, and told him I need to shift from where I am to another team. It turns out Peter was threatened by me and my knowledge, he even put me with Jack in same room so I can suffer and leave. They never let me handle any new bid or client meetings. I have…
