Month: August 2023

This afternoon my companies HR called me to tell me they can no longer provide me hours at my current job site, starting Monday, but offered me 2 positions 1, and 2 hours away respectively. They also offered me a per diem position but can’t guarantee work. I am currently full time. I have to give a decision tomorrow and I’m trying to find the best possible way to say “you’re going to have to fire me or lay me off.” What should I do? Employee handbook states “Employees can be moved by employer to another job site within their region without notice.” I believe the offered sites are out of my region. This is in New York.

Hiya I have a job that I do besides school on saturdays and I wanna quit my job at a grocery store that I've had for about 4 months and I want to hand in my 1-months-notice tomorrow because school is starting to get more demanding. Do I hand it over in the beginning of the shift? In the end? How will the relationship change with my employer? Are they gonna be mad that I quit? Also they didn't give me quite a few documents like the payroll document and some others, how do I politely ask for them?

So many people are messaging the group system saying how they can’t live off zero or one shift a week. What’s the best way to fuck them over before I ghost them?

My manager believes I should be working 45-50 hours a week because “everyone else” in my department is doing it. There’s only one other efficient employee in my department, and the other three are painfully bad at their jobs. How can I make the best argument for not working more OT? I have two young children and a wife who also works full time – I can’t justify putting in 2 hours of OT every night.

I received a letter a few days back that my employer is being sued for violating labor laws in my state. I’m entitled to a large (to me) settlement and after speaking with the plaintiff who no longer works here, everything seems above board. My question is, will there be any grounds for recourse against me by being part of this lawsuit? I’m actively looking for another job right now but don’t want to get fired in the meantime for résumé purposes.

It seems like the claim, or rather Lie, that modern Corporate America spreads, or rather, “Work will set you free”, as it translates to in America, has existed for a long time. Funny how the concept that Corporate America spreads is the same one that was used on German Death camps. It’s almost as if companies are lying to us about working for life truly setting us free. Edit, i mean the basic concept of it. Look at most rich people’s stories being “oh, we simply worked to get this rich”, that in my eyes very much translates to the “work will set you free” mindset, even when it’s not directly stated. I learned to use context clues to make connections in high school i might add, so i have very much done so in this case. I also fall on the Autism Spectrum, and folk like me were targeted…

I hate my job. I shouldn't. It's a pretty decent job, all things considered. But I can't shake my horrible attitude about it anymore. And now, during our busiest months, when we literally cannot complete our work without doing overtime, we're being told we need to limit overtime. We can't fucking win. We can't do anything right. I cried twice today. I hate our customers. I hate our company. I also hate that I can't find anything that will pay me what I'm making now, and I'm terrified to give that up because how the fuck am I supposed to retire?

im broke. im autistic and have trouble with jobs- i can work, but even part time was draining. im currently unemployed and taking a gap year. i dont know much about the anti work mindset, other than based on title alone, im sure it can apply to me. my idea is that its stupid to need to work- especially a job you hate- and make yourself useful to others somehow in order to live. why cant i just live, on this world we all share, and enjoy what it has to offer? i can give back in ways that arent standing behind a cash register. anyway, im thinking of beginning to sell on etsy, but i dont know. i need a plan, and im awful at planning. school is starting soon, and im taking a gap year for now. i have no interest in college, but im stalling just in…

So to break it down, I’m an EMT at a small time company. I just started at this company, and been here for about a month. I’ve been showing up and doing my job well, until this past weekend. I was not on the schedule for this past weekend, my boss calls me up Friday asking if I want to work Saturday, I agree and say sure. Saturday comes and I’m not feeling well, so I called out. Keep in mind I have 24 hours sick time. My boss is telling me to tough through it. I’m literally around other sick people working on the ambulance so why the fuck am I going put my self around that? I simply say I can’t, and I can tell he’s upset. Sunday comes around and he calls me asking if I’m working tonight, I think I am originally and I tell him…

So this is obviously incredibly minor, but I just found it hilarious and wanted to share. We were supposed to have a company picnic yesterday, but they opted to cancel and reschedule due to weather. Perfectly understandable. We got called/left voicemails informing us about the need to reschedule. The picnic was rescheduled to today with no notification to us. Our company has what is essentially it's own social media platform where things get announced. No mentions of a reschedule date, no mentions of the initial date cancelation, just a thanks for coming post from today. They're pretty notorious about being horrible at communication, so this definitely tracks for them lol.
