Month: July 2023

I’m a RN that has worked at the same hospital for the last 4 1/2 years. I was going through a high conflict divorce that lasted a little over 4 years. Through my old manager I was able to build a custody/work schedule that would allow me to be available to my kids on all the days I have off. I am on a fixed schedule at my hospital where I work every Monday and Tuesday and every other weekend. I have every Wednesday, Thursday and Friday off. The requirement at my hospital is that I have to work every third weekend. I’m giving the hospital every other weekend. It’s really hard to staff every weekend. So I figured I was doing them a favor while they were doing me a favor. New manager has been on the job for a little over 2 months now. I was told by…

I’m working freelance but only for a company and i’ve increased my workload from part time to full time. And they’ve literally decreased my daily rate after 2 years working with them (because since I work more I’ll be payed more and they thought the monthly rate was too expensive lmao while my initial daily rate was already far below market’s value). Also I can’t stand how they always favor men even when they have less experience and have been there for far less time, the disgusting sex talks every day, the misogyny while they think they’re soooo progressive, i’m genuinely beginning to hate them not gonna lie

If the responsibility is on the individual worker or work teams to provide a certain level of productivity for a business, then why is there a universal standard for employment in which workers or a team of workers have to be available for at least eight hours a day (typically, the 40 hour work week) when most individual workers or teams of workers are able to get their job done often way before that amount of time is finished? Why is this standard applied to all jobs in all industries and not just the jobs where it should be applicable? I don't think you can just squeeze productivity from people by prolonging the amount of time that they have to be available because that provides absolutely no incentive for people to work their best. It seems like naturally, that can only be a disincentive. Hence why lowering working hours has…

So we have a summer party coming up and I don't want to go, everyone else in my company is going I understand. My manager emailed me twice to ask why and I kept it vague as I work remotely and only go into the office once a month to do some filming. I'm very appreciative of the offer and have said this in my emails and thanked them but simply do not want to attend. I'm due to go back into the office in a couple of weeks I just know that at least my manager, their manager and a colleague I work with directly will ask again when I'm in the office. I'd rather have the afternoon / evening off work, actually work the afternoon or have the afternoon and evening off and be given the money they would have spend on me for that party. I used…

I work for a small juice company. The past two weeks have been actual hell. I had my card stolen and it's taking until next week for my new one to arrive. While thats happening my cars subframe bent while driving to work. Because I dont have a physical card it made getting a car rental very difficult. So i told my boss id come in late tomorrow. (Realistically I shouldn't come in at all after the stress spike this is explained further down). They asked why I was showing up late after asking for more hours and it seemed like if i needed more hours I needed to be more reliable. It brought me to the verge of tears cause this job is an hour commute for me already. I'll be frank. This job is nice compared to other college student jobs available to me it pays 15$ an…
