Hey guys my mother got surgery on the 21st of July she's a self employed house cleaner and was told by her physician that she avoid working for 6 weeks. However a few of her customers have already asked her when she could return back to work she plans on taking an additional 2 or 3 weeks off after the recommended 6 weeks nonetheless what would be an appropriate response to her customers who didn't get the memo the first time as she had already told majority of her customers that she be out for an uncertain amount of time ?

So I’m out with Covid from my job that I’m quitting (they’re aware Saturday is my last day). So this morning I notified them that my test was positive and that I still had a fever. Apparently they met with the regional manager about me and one of them accidentally recorded the whole thing and sent it to a group chat with me on it. In the meeting they claimed they don’t believe I have Covid and that I’m lying so I don’t have to come back to work. They also made assumptions about my living situation cause I live with my father and accused me of living off him and not “growing up”. Long story short I responded in the chat saying “For the record my test is positive and I sent you a photo of the positive result”. My girlfriend’s mom is claiming I can sue for defamation.…

This occurred a couple years ago but I still question myself regularly about if I did the right thing. This is a bit long-winded but I want to get all the details down. Basically, I was working a job where I wasn’t making enough and needed full-time hours. I didn’t mind the working environment but it was obvious I wasn’t in the immediate running for a full-time position. Fast-forward a bit and I find a full-time position at another store and they say they’re willing to interview me and get me onboard in the next couple of weeks because they “urgently need someone”. I put my application in and go through the interview process, including a drug test, for the new position. That’s when I stop getting updates from the new store because they were reviewing my application. This went on for at least two weeks. My current job was…

I’m just heartbroken at my situation at this point, I can’t get a decent job! I truly can’t. I have a masters in English literature ( it’s close to saying I have a GED in the US). I’m a foreigner, I feel as soon as requiters read my name. they immediately dismiss any possibility of me even getting an interview. I have tried applying for everything, literally everything and gotten no luck. Last job I applied to was entry level Assistant, it says in the discerption no diploma needed! And I still got the dreadful response of “ thank you for ur interest but we decided to move on with other candidates “. I have 4 years experience as a high school teacher, worked for 3 years as a script writer, customer service & sales rep. Still I’m way less impressive than the 20 other people who applied for a…

Hello there. I am 17. I got hired at this job a month ago. I went on vacation (which they said was fine) and came back. Essentially my work is a donut shop. I will not say the name for privacy reasons but it's new and just opened. During my interview the agreement was that I will work part time, 20 hours a week. This number has not been recognized. This week I have worked 40 hours, been asked to work an illegal 9 hour shift, and have been given 10 minute breaks but no lunch break. My boss is incredibly stingy and hypercritical about the quality of the donuts, and when something goes wrong says that we shouldn't be getting paid because we “don't do anything.” One incident I want to highlight is the deep fryer incident. Essentially I got put on the corndog station because I'm good at…

I don't mean to come off as being a dick about it, it's just a revelation I had about my living situation for the past 2 years. My roommate was kind enough to not charge rent to my other roommate and I, and only asks us to cover our own expenses and help with groceries. I'm unemployed, but my roommate tries to help, since my expenses are less than 80 bucks. Why am I that grateful? Well, I did some calculating. Minimum wage in my state (Colorado) is $15 an hour. Rent around here is 1K a month. If I were to work full-time, I would be making (minus taxes), 1200 a month. After my expenses, if I rounded up, would be 120 bucks. 120 bucks a month and all of that is likely going to groceries. Considering how many expenses the average person has (and god forbid a medical…
